(Almost) Wordless Esmerelda

Our sweet and beautiful friend Esmerelda is all dressed up and ready to go (with whoever is lucky enough to adopt her)! Just look at that face, those whiskers, that fancy tuxedo and those white paws. Isn't she adorable? 💖

Esmerelda is about two years old. She loves people and gets along well with other nice cats, but does not care for dogs. She's spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. This friendly ladycat is so ready to find her happily ever after. Come meet Esmerelda at PAWS today!

Selfie Sunday Stellos / Cats Rule!

We're not sure how Stellos got her name, but we do know that she's sweet, playful (laser toy, anyone?) and just plain adorable. We also know now that this little one takes an awesome selfie!

Stellos is about 6 months old. She's spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She gets along well with other nice cats, loves people, and would be a great addition to almost any home. She's waiting patiently at PAWS to be discovered. Come meet Stellos, and fall in love!

Did you know today is Cat World Domination Day? This brainchild of our dearly departed friend, Sparkle the Designer Cat, this special day is a celebration of something many of us already know ... that cats rule! (It also happens to be Sparkle's birthday.) The amazing Summer Samba (who now handles the blogging duties at Sparkle's blog) and her housemates Binga and Boodie are having a big Cat World Domination Day bash today. Be sure to visit them to check out the fun!

It's also Sunday, which means we're joining our beloved buddies at the Cat on My Head in their always awesome Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. Click here to see who else is hopping along!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Boots

Everybody adores our handsome buddy Boots. And why wouldn't they? This sweet and gentle dude loves being pet and snuggled, and hanging out with his human pals (i.e. the PAWS volunteers and staff members). 😻

Boots is just 10 years old, so he's still got lots of life to live, and plenty of love to give to whoever is lucky enough to adopt him. Oh, and check out his front paw in the third photo ... you'll see he's got some extra toes, which makes him even cooler! Boots is neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He's so ready to find his happily ever after. Is it with you?

Alice's Sunday Selfies

When we asked for a volunteer for this week's Sunday selfies, look who raised her pretty little paw. It's our sweet, adoptable and gorgeous friend, Alice! What a pro ... she gave us a straight on selfie, and left and right profile ones, too!

Alice is only about one year old. She gets along well with other nice kitties, and would be a great addition to almost any home. Alice is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and will be a purrfect best friend for whoever is lucky enough to adopt her. Come meet Alice, and fall in love!

It's Sunday, which means we're participating in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our awesome pals at The Cat on My Head. Be sure to visit their blog to see who else is hopping and/or to join in on the fun!

Our 1000th Post!

Holy cat! Can you believe this is our 1000th post here at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life? We never dared to imagine when Tracey wrote our inaugural post that we'd be here all these years later, still helping raise awareness for the PAWS cats. And we almost certainly wouldn't be here without you! Thank you to all of our readers and friends all over the world, for being such sources of love, encouragement and joy. And for always rooting for us, and for the amazing and adoptable cats we're blessed to know through our time volunteering.

Here's to the next 1000 posts, and beyond!

Love, hugs and headbonks to all,

Kevin (meowmeowmans), Tracey, Gracie, Ava; our beloved angels Zoe, Moosey, Sammy, Maggie, Graphite, Lady Madonna, and Bitsy; and all the PAWS Cats past and present 

Mia's Sunday Selfies :)

Our new buddy, Mia, is as sweet as she is pretty (and as you can see, she's plenty pretty). She also has a real knack for taking selfies. Take a look!

 

Mia is about 8 years old. She's super friendly, outgoing, loves people (and their laps), and would be a great addition to almost any home. Mia is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. She's waiting patiently at PAWS to meet her new best friend. Is it you?

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Patches

Our adoptable friend Patches is more than just a pretty face. She also happens to possess an incredibly loving disposition and a super sweet personality. Just two years old, this gorgeous calico came to PAWS when her human developed allergies (editor's note: as someone who is allergic to cats, I truly hope Patches' human tried everything possible before giving her up). Patches is a really good kitty, who loves people and gets along well with other nice cats. She is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. Now all she needs is a chance to find her real happily ever after. Is it with you?

Mrs. Fields' Sunday Selfies

A kitty named Mrs. Fields? Like the famous cookie brand? It's true. But we'll let you in on a little secret ... THIS Mrs. Fields is way sweeter than any cookie could ever be. She absolutely adores humans, and could hardly contain her excitement when we visited with her today. We made sure to give her lots of snuggles, pets and lap time. She absolutely loved it. And talk about photogenic. When we asked her to pose for some selfies, she totally nailed them. See for yourself!

Mrs. Fields is only about 1.2 years old, but she has already had kittens (and yes, they all have cookie names), who are all being cared for in foster until they are old enough to be adopted. Now that Mrs. Fields has been spayed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV, she's all set to enjoy being some lucky adopter's forever baby. Come meet her today, and fall in love!
