Selfie Sunday - Blue

The rumor at PAWS is that our new friend Blue may soon be be heading to her forever home. But even though this cutie's got one paw out the door, we couldn't resist sharing this photo of her posing in front of the Room 8 Kliban Cat. We'd say her impression is spot (and, um, stripe) on! 😉

Happy Sunday, everybuddy!

We're taking part in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our beloved friends at the Cat On My Head! Be sure to visit them to see who else is hopping along (and/or to join the fun)!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Gomez

This is our handsome new pal, Gomez. This sweet and gentle senior mancat finds himself at PAWS through no fault of his own. You see, his human had to enter a nursing home, and Gomez was not able to go along. How sad for both of them. 

Gomez is a still a bit shell-shocked about being at the shelter, but we can definitely see he is a really nice guy. Right now, he feels safer in the confines of his cage, but his intake card says he is a lap cat, and that he is outgoing! So we're looking forward to seeing that part of his personality soon. :)

Gomez is neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. At 14 years old, he also qualifies for the PAWS Senior Pension Plan, which means there is no adoption fee, and he gets an annual wellness exam, vaccinations and blood work analysis for free for the rest of his life. All Gomez needs now is a second chance. Come meet him today!

Sunday Selfies - River :)

This week's contestant on Let's Take a Selfie is our sweet and pretty friend, River. Isn't she adorable?

River is just about one year old. She was kind of shy and skittish when she first arrived at PAWS, but with love, kindness and patience, she's decided that humans are pretty nice. And as you can see from these photos, she's calm and unafraid of the pawparazzi. :)

River is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. She enjoys being pet, playing, and just hanging with her friends (human and feline alike). She's totally ready to find her forever home. Is it with you? Come meet River today!

Sad News from PAWS-ville

It's a sad, sad night at PAWS. Tonight, a dark cloud descended upon this place that is so often a beacon of hope and happily ever afters, as we said goodbye to Rasputin, a cat who was truly everybody's buddy. Though his time here on Earth was brief (he was just 1 1/2 years old), he had a magical spirit that touched the lives of all who met him. He instantly captured the hearts of the staff and volunteers, and we will love and miss our little "Pootie" forever. 

Found as a stray, Rasputin had some special needs (the very ones that would eventually lead to his passing) that would have required a very special forever home. But if his issues bothered him, he never, ever let on. Rasputin's spirit was loving and full of life. He loved to be held, play (he was FAST!), and was a world-class snuggler. And he was adored by all of us human aunties and uncles.

As the saying goes, "home is where the heart is." Rasputin didn't find that elusive forever home, but he loved his people, and was loved so deeply in return, that perhaps he was already home. Fly free, sweet Rasputin. Until we meet again.

Easy Like Sunday Selfies - Danno

This is our new pal, Danno. He was found as a stray, but he definitely learned somewhere that humans are sources of good things. This handsome and happy-go-lucky dude loves attention! As you can see from these photos, he also takes a pretty awesome selfie.

Danno is about 2 years old. As previously mentioned, he's super friendly. He's also playful, and gets along with other friendly kitties. Danno is neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He'd make the perfect addition to almost any home! Could it be yours?

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Snow

Unlike the cold white stuff that falls from the sky, our super handsome buddy Snow is warm, friendly, gentle and ready to find a new best friend.

Snow is about 3 years old. He's kind of new to PAWS, so it's not a huge surprise that he's still a little overwhelmed  by the strange sights, sounds and smells he's been encountering. But he's definitely starting to come out of his shell, and showing an affinity for hanging out with his human pals, being pet and posing for the camera. 😸

Snow is neutered, micro-chipped and current on his vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. We're positive he'll blossom in a nice, quiet forever home. Could that be with you?

Easter Sunday Selfies!

Look who's hopping along this week in the Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfies Blog Hop! It's none other than our very own beloved housepanthers, Gracie and Ava (both adopted from PAWS), showing off their Easter Sunday best. They did a great job, don't you think? 💟

Happy Easter to all who celebrate, happy Passover to all who celebrate, and happy Sunday to EVERYBUDDY!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Roxy

Our adoptable friend Roxy is one of THOSE cats. You know the kind. The kind that simply exudes sweetness and love. The kind that everyone who meets her is immediately smitten with. 💖 

As you can see from these pictures, beautiful and super friendly tabby Roxy totally enjoys spending time with her human pals. She also likes being pet, and if you're lucky, you may even get to rub her tummy (as evidenced in that last photo). Roxy is only about 2 years old, and her kittens have already been adopted, so now she's ready to be YOUR baby. This ladycat is spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Won't you come meet her today? You (and Roxy) will be glad you did!

Harrison's Sunday Selfies

Even though he was in the middle of posing for his selfies, our handsome ginger buddy, Harrison, wanted to be sure to wish everybuddy a happy first Sunday of the Spring. Such a thoughtful mancat! 

Harrison is about 3 years old. He's still a little shy with new people, but is really beginning to come out of his shell with all the love and attention he's getting from the PAWS staff and volunteers. We have no doubt that he will positively blossom in a quiet forever home. Harrison is neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. He had some dental issues and needed to have all his teeth removed, but he is doing fine on his canned food only diet. Harrison gets along with other nice cats or would be happy as your only furry friend. Come meet him today!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Sheffield

Check out our super handsome pal Sheffield. Doesn't he look like he's beckoning you to give him some love and attention? That's because he is! You see, Sheffield is one of the friendliest, gentlest (and adoptable!) mancats ever. 😸

Sheffield is about 7 years old, and ended up at PAWS after his owners developed allergies. He's a super good boy, and gets along well with other nice kitties. He's neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. Potential forever families should be aware that Sheffield was front paw declawed at some point in his life, so he absolutely, positively must be an indoor-only cat. (For the record, we (and PAWS) are strongly against the barbaric procedure of declawing.) Come meet Sheffield today. We promise you'll fall in love!
