Happy Thanksgiving!

 

As we reflect on our lives, there is so much for which we are grateful.

 

We give thanks for those who adopt shelter animals and/or take in homeless pets ... you recognize just how special these wonderful creatures are, and you've opened up your hearts to them. Thank you also to those who rescue and care for shelter animals, donate time and resources, advocate for animals, serve as fosters, care for feral cats, or participate in trap-neuter-return programs. You are heroes, one and all.

We're also thankful for our families and many friends (including, of course, the ones we've made through blogging). Thank you for sharing your lives with us, and for sharing in ours.

Wishing all who celebrate the happiest of Thanksgivings.

 

Hugs and headbonks,

Ava, Tracey, and Kevin

Tinsel Selfies for the Holidays

With less than a week until Thanksgiving here in the U.S., Hanukkah and Christmas won't be far behind. And decorating for the holidays just isn't complete without a little Tinsel, right? We're not talking about that shiny, shimmery stuff, though. We're actually talking about our beautiful and adoptable pal, who happens to be named ... Tinsel. Check out her awesome selfies!

Tinsel loves people, and is super friendly and outgoing -- except if you are a cat. As such, she must be an only kitty. But don't let that scare you off. Tinsel has so much love to give to whoever is lucky enough to adopt her. She is about 2 years old, playful, affectionate, and came to PAWS after being found as a stray. Tinsel is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She's ready to love and be loved. Don't you need some Tinsel for the holidays (and forever)?

It's Sunday, which means we're hopping along in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our pals at The Cat On My Head. Be sure to check it out to see who else is hopping along (or to join in on the fun)!

(Almost) Wordless Barnum

Our friend Barnum is what some people call "the complete package" ... He's got good looks and a wonderful personality, and "plays well with others." Oh, and check out those great whiskers!

Barnum is about 3 years old, and came to PAWS as a stray. He loves being petted, and getting attention from his human pals (like us!). He gets along well with other nice cats, but would be fine as a one and only kitty, too. He's neutered and current on his vaccinations.

Barnum has tested positive for FIV, but it's important to remember this 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." FIV cannot be passed to other cats through casual contact, or by sharing food, water, or a litter box. Nor can it be passed to people or other pet species.

Come and meet Barnum today. As you can see, he's all dressed up in his best tuxedo, and is ready to find his forever loving home. Is it with you? 

Sienna's Sunday Selfie

Check out our beautiful friend Sienna. As you can clearly see, this ladycat knows a thing or two about posing for a selfie. 💕

Sienna is about two years old, and came to PAWS after her former human moved and left Sienna and several cats behind. While we do not know the circumstances behind this sad turn of events, we are happy that a number of the kitties ended up at PAWS, where they are getting the love and care they deserve until they find their forever homes. Sienna is a still shy with new people, but is really gaining in confidence and comfort with those she knows. We love how she now greets us at the door of her open cat room, and know she will blossom in a loving and patient forever home. Sienna gets along with other cats, and would be a great companion for another kitty. She is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet adorable and adoptable Sienna today!

(Almost) Wordless Sunshine

With daylight savings time having just ended, we sure are missing the sun right about now. But we're here to tell you there's a way to bring some honest to goodness Sunshine into your home. Take a look at our beautiful, sweet, and adoptable pal, whose name just happens to be ... you guessed it ... Sunshine. 💕

One year-old Sunshine came to PAWS after being found as a stray. She's super friendly and outgoing, and loves spending time with her human friends. She seems interested in being friends with other nice cats, but she would also be fine as your one and only, if that is how you roll. She's spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. The long winter is coming soon ... don't you need a little Sunshine in your life?

Rosie and Moufasa's Selfies

It's Sunday, which means we're hopping along with our pals at the Cat On My Head as they host the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. Of course, this meant that we had to find one of the PAWS cats who was willing to volunteer to share their selfie. Lucky for us (and all of you), young (and adorable) Rosie raised her paw, and as you can see, she's pretty good with the camera. 💖

Rosie is about 6 months old, friendly, and playful. She gets along well with other nice cats, especially her brother Moufasa, who's also looking for a home. We would love to see them be adopted together!

And speaking of Moufasa, here he is, with HIS selfies! It seems that being photogenic runs in the family! 💖

These two are bonded, and as mentioned, we would love for them to go to the same home. Rosie and Moufasa are spayed and neutered, respectively. They are current on their vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. Rosie and Moufasa are ready to find their forever loving home. Is it with you?

(Almost) Wordless Holly

Our beautiful new friend Holly is SO adorable. Don't believe us? Just take a look!

Holly is about 9 months old. This little cutie is super friendly and outgoing, playful, and loves her human buddies at PAWS. She's still pretty new here, but seems open to being friends with other nice cats. She is spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Add all of that up, and this kitty is more than ready to find her happily ever after. Come meet Holly today, and fall in love!
