07/30/2026-Stray-HawthorneDrive - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Columbus, Georgia

Location Found: Hawthorne Drive

Additional details: This cat came to us through our Community Cat Program on 7/30/26 and was originally planned to be returned after his medical care. However, when it was time for release, he seemed very stressed and unfamiliar with the area. Because we couldn't confidently determine that this was his established territory, we felt it was in his best interest to place him on stray hold in hopes of locating an owner that may be missing him instead of returning him as a community cat at this time. No microchip, collar, or identification was present at the time of intake.

This animal is currently on a 5-day stray hold while we attempt to locate the owner.

If you believe this is your pet, please contact Paws Humane Animal Services as soon as possible.
