A New Year, New Homes, and a New Look!


The New Year is such a time of hope, promise and optimism, and we all got a little extra jolt of those things when some lucky PAWS kitties found forever homes this week - right before the end of 2013!  Joining the ranks of PAWS graduates mentioned in our earlier December adoption reports (here and here) were Angel and Yule (together), Belanna and Goblin (together), Cisco, Kojak, Raven, and Yancy.  Happy New Year, indeed! :)

Speaking of NEW, you may have noticed our blog has a beautiful new look, courtesy of our dear and talented friend Ann Adamus at Zoolatry.  (Thank you, Ann!)  We hope you all like it as much as we do!  The new header has so much meaning for us.  In addition to Moosey, Gracie, Zoe, Angel Sammy and Angel Maggie, the header features kitties who are currently waiting at PAWS for their own happily ever afters.

From all of us here at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life ... Happy New Year, and thank you for being our friends.  May your 2014 be filled with love, peace, joy and all good things!

Hugs and headbonks,

Kevin, Tracey, Moosey, Gracie and Zoe (and the PAWS Cats)
