(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Nicholas

This is our new friend, Nicholas. Isn't he adorable? Just look at his spiffy tuxedo. And those paws (with black jellybean toes, by the way)! :) 

Nicholas is pretty new at PAWS, and still getting used to the sights, sounds and smells of the shelter. But we can already see he's as sweet and gentle as they come. He enjoys being pet, and seems to be open to being friends with other nice cats. Nicholas is about 3 years old. He's waiting patiently to find his forever home. Is it with you?

Timon's Sunday Selfie :)

This is our brand new (we just met him at PAWS today) friend, Timon. We've already learned this handsome guy is a super sweet lapcat who loves people. We also found out he's a veritable pro at taking selfies. Check him out!

Found as a stray, Timon is about 3 years old. He is neutered, microchipped, and current on his vaccinations. Timon has tested positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), but that does not mean he can't live a long and happy life. According to Best Friends Animal Society, "FIV-positive cats can live normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. But if they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets." Oh, and did we mention the lapcat part? Here he is, sacked out in my lap. 😸

Come meet Timon today, and fall in love!

Happy MEW Year!

Happy Mew Year! Or, maybe we should say Happiest Mew Year, because that's what it is for the many (now former) PAWS cats who will be ringing in 2019 with their new FURever families.

Those of you who've been here before probably recognize some of the faces in this collage of some of our friends who found their happily ever afters in December:

Clockwise from upper left: Millie, Gerdy, Ginger, Rascal, Christina, Tessa, Cindy Lou Hoo,
Leona and Bill all found forever homes in December!

Here's the full roster of the December graduates (50 of them as of the morning of December 31!), in alphabetical order: Ashton and Gilbert (together), Bailey, Bam Bam, Bentley, Bill, Blackjack, Boo, Christina, Cindy Lou Hoo, Claurice, Coco, Crosby, Daisy and Macee (together), Dwight, Filipe and Sophia (together), Finn and Bella (together), Gerdy, Ginger, Gomez, Judy, Kitty, Klaus, Leona, Leopold, Lola, Millie, Mindy and Wendell (together), Mistletoe, Moo Kat, Moose, Mr. Black Cat, Murray and Star (together), Princess Ophelia, Rascal, Santiago, Sergeant Orr, Sparkles, Tabby, Tessa, Tiberius, Tinykat, Umberto, Vinnie and Zulu.

Congratulations to all these graduates, and their new families! We wish them, and all of you, a new year that's filled with an abundance of joy, good health, and love. 

And here's a happy tail from Calli's (formerly Sassafrass) family. We think it'll give you another reason to smile as we start 2019: 

Thank you for allowing us to adopt the sweetest, goofiest, funny, adorable and loving kitty. We named her Calli and she has really thrown herself into our family. The boys adore her and have been so caring. She has completely found herself a home with us. She is my sleeping buddy. I attached some pictures. I hope you know how much we appreciate what you do for these pets. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
 

Finally, speaking of NEW ... you probably noticed things look a little (okay, a lot) different here on our blog. We LOVE our new header, designed by our wonderfully talented friend Ann at Zoolatry (Thank you, Ann!). Not only is it beautiful, the fact that it features all new cats is also a celebration of the adoption in September of the final PAWS kitty (our buddy Patch) featured on our old header. We hear that Patch is doing great in his forever home, and he is loved an adored.💖

Happy New Year, everybuddy!

Final Sunday Selfies for 2018

With 2018 just about in the record books, we asked the adorable and adoptable PAWS cats who wanted to take one last selfie before we ring in the new year. Lo and behold, we had a handful of volunteers, including

Handsome David, the formerly super shy mancat who now loves having his belly rubbed.

Gorgeous and outgoing housepanther Lulu.

Shy but playful (and stunning) Cindy Lou Hoo.

Friendly and beautiful (you should see her striking markings in person) Princess.

And still shy, but curious and playful sisters, Pawline and Pawlette.

See you in 2019, er um ... in a couple of days! 😸

Happy Meowlidays, everybuddy!

Peace, love and joy. Those are the things we wish for all creatures, everywhere.

Thank you all for your love, support, and continued friendship. We are eternally grateful for each and every one of you! 💖

Hugs and headbonks,

Gracie, Zoe, Tracey and Kevin (meowmeowmans)

Santa, is that you? / Turquoise's Selfies

In this first photo, our gentle and beautiful new friend, Turquoise, seems to be asking, "Santa, is that you? Can you please bring me a forever home soon?"

Turquoise is about 5 years old. She loves being pet and brushed, and hanging out with her human friends. She's spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. From her Christmas wish, you can tell she's ready to find her happily ever after. Is it with you?

(Almost) Wordless - Nellie in a Tree

Take a gander at our new friend, Nellie, enjoying some time in the PAWS Room 3 cat tree. What a cutie pie!

One year-old Nellie wound up at PAWS after being found as a stray. She's spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. She's playful and likes people, but will let you know when she wants some time to herself. From what we have seen so far, Nellie does not care for other animals. As a result, she needs a home where she can be the only pet. Looking for an awesome, one and only BFF? Come meet Nellie today!
