(Almost) Wordless Hope

I recently saw a meme that read, "Hope changes everything." Three wise words that are applicable to life in general. But they also apply to our sweet and beautiful friend Hope. Just imagine how the world will change for both Hope and whoever is lucky enough to adopt her. 💖

Hope is about three years old, and came to PAWS after being found as a stray, after having two litters of kittens. She's spayed now, current on her vaccinations, negative for FIV and FeLV, and totally ready to find her forever loving home where she will be pampered. Everyone needs a little Hope in their lives, right? Come meet her today, and fall in love!

 

Magnificent Mina's Selfies

This week's selfie is brought to you by our super sweet and ultra floofy friend Mina. We love her luxurious fur, sparkling eyes, and gentle demeanor. Just take a look for yourself. 💖

Mina, who is only about two years old, came to PAWS after her elderly owner was no longer able to provide care. It's a sad story, but Mina really does seem to adjusting well to being at the shelter as she waits to find her new forever home. She's spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Looking for a new best friend to start the new year? What a coincidence! So is Mina, so come meet her today. 

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 - Who's Your Daddy?

Sorry about that title ... we just couldn't resist. But it's true. This devastatingly handsome mancat's name is, in fact, Daddy.

Looks like somekitty didn't appreciate that "Daddy" joke. 😆

If you're wondering about how he got his name, it came about because he is a good father! 3 1/2 year old Daddy was rescued as a stray with his girlfriend and their kittens. He is neutered, microchipped, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Daddy is a little bit shy, but very sweet and super gentle. He likes to be pet once he knows you, and loves treats. He will even take them ever-so-gently from your hand. He's all dressed up in his tuxedo and ready to find his new best friend. Could it be you?

 

Franklin's Selfie

When we asked for a volunteer for the first PAWS cat selfie of 2022, look who raised his handsome paw. It's our new friend Franklin. Is he a looker, or what?

Franklin definitely knows how to rock a pose, but he's no diva. This mancat is as sweet and gentle as can be, and totally unaffected by his good looks. Franklin is about 1 1/2 years old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He's waiting to be discovered by his new forever family. We hope it finds him real soon.

(Almost) Wordless Bowie

What do you get when you combine a sweet and gentle nature with a whole lot of handsomeness? If you answered, "a super adoptable cat named Bowie," you're 100% correct!

 

Bowie's magnificent cheeks, plush coat, and amazing eyes (one blue, and one gold) are just a reflection of his equally stunning personality. It's true! This mancat is beautiful inside and out. He loves people, gets along with other nice cats, and is just an all-around good dude. Bowie, who is about 2 years old, is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He's so ready to find a forever best friend. Is it you?

 

Happy MEW Year!

Happy Mew Year! Despite a year that was challenging in so many ways, there were definitely some things that brought sheer and utter joy. Those would include the myriad of (now former) PAWS cats who will be ringing in 2022 with their new FURever families. Those of you who've been here before probably recognize some of the faces in this collage of some of our friends who found their happily ever afters in 2021.

Clockwise, from upper left: Flash, Briggs, Baby, Juno, Holly, Panda, Rosie, Sienna, Sunshine, Otis, Cho, Dante, Sugar, Scarlet, Mojo, Misha

Here are the graduates for the month of December (through 12/30/21): Baby, Bill, Bradley, Brady, Briggs, Caramel, Casper & Bob, Cho, Clark, Dante, Espresso & Cappuccino, Flash, Hazel, Latte, Lucky, Mrs. Grey, Mojo, Morticia, Ninja Rose, Patchy, Ross & Phoebe, Sienna, Smokey, Sookie, Spooky, Star, and Willow.

Of course, every adoption makes our hearts happy, but perhaps none of them more so than that of our longtime shelter buddy Flash, who waited for 1 1/2 years to find her perfect loving forever home.

And to think … when 9 year-old Flash first arrived at PAWS, she was so terrified that we weren’t able to post about her for months because we literally couldn’t get a good photo of her! As the months went by, Flash felt more safe and comfortable with her human friends at the shelter. But yet she waited and watched as so many of the other cats in her open room came and went. Fast forward to last week. We’re pretty sure Flash was on Santa’s list of NICE kitties, and that he brought her exactly what she wanted for Christmas. Flash has been adopted by a patient and understanding family with an attached art studio that will be all for her. Flash will be safe, warm, fed, and loved, and can come out for pets and attention whenever she wants. All in her time.💖 We have the distinct feeling that she’ll be doing so often.

Congratulations to Flash, and all of the graduates and their forever families! We wish all of them, and all of YOU, a new year (and many, many more to come) filled with happiness, good health, and love.

HAPPY MEW YEAR!
