We're excited to welcome not just one, but TWO new kitties - Zoe and Gracie - into our loving home! You've seen these sweet and beautiful sisters here on our blog before, as they've been waiting patiently at PAWS for nearly three years. Why so long? Maybe it's because they're older (about 12 years old). Or maybe because they're black. Or maybe because they don't always "show well" to potential adopters (they can be sort of reserved around people they don't know). Or maybe because they needed to be placed together. We're not really sure, but we know they are wonderful cats, who are greatly loved by the shelter staff and volunteers alike.
We also know they sang a MIGHTY kitty song the whole ride home. And that they are adjusting brilliantly to living here after just one day - especially Gracie, who confidently walked out of the carrier like she's been here her whole life:
Moosey, Gracie and Zoe have already seen each other through the cat door window we have on the guest bedroom door. In fact, you can see Moosey's cute face as he peeks at his new sisfurs through said cat door at the beginning of the video. Their collective reactions have ranged from "meh" to "hmm, that's a cat ... sort of interesting." We think this bodes well...
Here are some pictures of the girls, taken this morning. They look pretty relaxed, don't they?

Yay Zoe & Gracie!!! What beautiful girls. Their three year wait was because the family they were meant to be a part of...was yours.
What great news to wake our Sunday up. Congratulations Zoe and Gracie. You found the best home!
OMC! We couldn't be happier for all of you!!!
PAWS UP! What awesome news! I am sure everyone will adjust in record time.
I like this - "Mighty kitty song" - I know what that is for sure. And two wonderful kitties!!!
How wonderful! Those are two lucky lady cats!
Happy day after your Gotcha Day Zoe and Gracie! You've found a wonderful home.
We're SO excited...now two more kitties can find a waystation at the shelter! HURRAH and well done for adopting Zoe and Gracie!!!
Oh those girls are SO lucky! Congratulations to them on finding such a great home. Hope Moosey is a nice big brother for them.
Welcome, welcome beautiful girls!!! You are going to have the best life ever in your wonderful forever home :-) PS - we think black cats are great!!!!
Oh this made us cry! We are so happy for all of you! Welcome to the gorgeous panther Ladycats Gracie and Zoe and we are so happy they ended up with you in your fantastic, loving home! (And that is so cute about Moosey in the cat window, how adorbs is that!)
YAY, we're doing a happy dance for you!!!! This made my day. Older cats and black cats that no one wanted and now the BEST home. And they know it! I think the introduction will go very well and don't be surprised if it's quicker than usual. Email me if you have any questions.
Oh, we're all LEAKY, whether because we're so happy for y'all or because Moosey is now outnumbered 2-to-1 by those GIRLCATS, we can't really say--HA!!
Congrats all around!
Zoe and Gracie are beautiful. We are so happy for them Purrs!
We are so happy for all of you. Welcome, Gracie and Zoe! You couldn't have chosen a better home. x
We're thrilled for you all, especially Zoe and Gracie who have waited so long! :-)
*Happy dance*!
Oh that is so exciting for all of you. Love Moosie peeking in. I bet they all get along really well. That is so terrific that you got those two that have been waiting so long. Black cats are the very best. We have three and they are all great. Congrats and I am so glad for all of you. Take care.
This news absolutely made my week! I have a big grin on my face and teary eyes. Thank you for adopting these two beauties!They will make your home an even happier one for sure. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
What fantastic news!! We're so happy for you and for Gracie and Zoe! We're sure everyone will adjust quickly!!

The Paw Relations
That is wonderful! Congratulations to all of you! They do seem to be adjusting well. I love Moosey peeking in at them, that's so cute. Always happy to see older cats find a good home. :-)
What wonderful news to read this morning! Two beautiful girls have their for-ever home. They are smart, cuz they knew EXACTLY who to impress and who to ward off--they made sure they ended up with the right family and big brother!
We are all so happy here at the warehouse apartment, we'll play a special session of Da Bird and dance around in jubilation!
Welcome Gracie and Zoe and we can't wait to read about your transition, and all the wonderful love you will get and give...
Hooray!
Z-Girl and the Squeedunk Cats
We are so happy for all of you, especially for Gracie and Zoe as they now have a loving home.
OMG..could they be any cuter??? I am so happy for you both and now Moosey has sisfurs and very sweet sisfurs, kitties you have known and I'm sure grown to love over the last three years there at PAWS.
The good thing about volunteering is you really get to know the kitties after awhile and they get to know you.. We know it was far too long for Gracie and Zoe, but you both are more than worth the wait!
We send our love and the best of luck to all of you!!
Hugs,
Mom Julie, Tinker, Anastasia, Chopin and Angel Tom
Awesome news.

Zoe and Gracie are so exquisitely beautiful, and we are over the moon that they now have their own forever home. Hope the actual meeting with Moosey goes well. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Oh, we love that little cat window in the door. It's so neat.
How exciting! Two new family members, sisters for Moosey. We know they will be very happy there.
We recognized them right off! Oh YAY for Gracie and Zoe!! And paws crossed that Moosey and the Girls get along famously!
This is the very best news! Zoe & Gracie are so blessed! But so is Moosey and parents! We are so happy for all of you! You know how we feel about black cats! Grizelda Zoe & Chloe Jo are wonderful blessings for us. (Yes, Maggie is, too! They all are.) ~xo~
Yay! Congratulations! We are very happy for all of you! We are so glad that after waiting patiently for three years that Zoe and Gracie got such a awesome forever home.
That is just the most wonderful news and now we both have Gracie and Zoe to bring joy to our homes!!!

Yay! This is great news! Congratulations to Zoe and a Gracey for what I know will be a wonderful new home for them. Always glad to see black cats coming home.
Welcome home Gracie and Zoe
Ive always become close to certain cats at my shelter. It seems they always come out and are "themselves" when I walk in. While, I've not taken home those certain few, I do want them to realize not every person is a person to fear. Welcome home Gracie and Zoe, you've landed where you belong!
Mom Laure
