Selfies by Besties Penelope and Merlin

Best buddies Merlin and Penelope came to PAWS after their owner passed away. Despite the heartbreaking circumstances of how they found their way here, these two sweethearts are really adjusting well, and winning their way into the hearts of their feline roommates and human friends alike.

Merlin and Penelope are both about 5 years old, and it's abundantly clear they were so well-loved by their human. They are both friendly, sweet natured, and social. As you can see from the third and fourth photos, they love people and get along well with other nice kitties! Merlin is neutered, and Penelope is spayed. Both are current on their vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. They are a bonded pair, so they must be adopted together, but as we always say in such cases, that just means double the love! Merlin and Penelope are so ready to find their new forever home. Is it with you?

(Almost) Wordless Jojo

 Check out our adorable and adoptable friend Jojo. Isn't she beautiful?

As gorgeous as she is, we're happy to tell you Jojo is more than just a pretty face! She also happens to be sweet, gentle, and a big fan of spending time with her human pals. She definitely likes being pet, is quite the accomplished purrer, and gets along with other nice kitties, too. Jojo is about one year old, spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. As you can see, she's all dressed in her tuxedo and ready to find her forever family. Come meet Jojo today, and fall in love!

 

Selfies by Harriet

Our young and playful friend Harriet took a little break to show off another side of herself. As you can see, that would be her "beautiful, selfie-taking" side.

We can tell you from firsthand experience that Harriet loves being pet and getting attention from her human friends. She does get along with other nice cats, but her human buddies seem to be her favorites. She ended up at PAWS when her owner was no longer able to provide care. Three year-old Harriet is spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She is such an amazing kitty, and she is so ready to find her new happily ever after. Is it with you?

(Almost) Wordless Ukie

We're not actually sure how our friendly and handsome new buddy Ukie got his name. We wondered what language it came from, and of all the possibilities we found, one of the Japanese ones seemed really appropriate. As it turns out, there are multiple Japanese characters for "Ukie," and one of them means "Hope." Pretty fitting for a shelter kitty waiting for his happily ever after, isn't it?

Can you tell from these photos that Ukie is a champion purrer? Probably not, but take our word for it when we tell you that's the case! He's still a little nervous about being at PAWS, but is really coming out of his shell, and loves being pet and hanging out with his human pals. Ukie is about 2 years old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Here's HOPING his new forever family finds him very soon.

Kiki's Selfies / Happy Father's Day

In case you're wondering which of the PAWS cats volunteered for this week's selfie, wonder no more. It's our super friendly, gentle, and beautiful friend Kiki!

Kiki is not just beautiful. As an orange female tabby cat, she also happens to be pretty rare! Did you know that only 20 percent of orange tabby cats are female? This 5 year-old came to the shelter when her owner had to move to a place that did not allow cats. Kiki is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet her today, and fall in love!

Hi everybuddy! It's me, Ava (and my mom and dad, too), wishing dads of humans, cats, and all other species a wonderful and Happy Father's Day!

My dad (meowmeowmans) isn't very keen about having his photo taken, but look at what is on the t-shirt that me and Mom Tracey got him for Father's Day! (For the record, one of my myriad nicknames is "The P.")

(Almost) Wordless Bugsy and Strawberry

We had the pleasure this past weekend of meeting sisters Bugsy (she's the tabby) and Strawberry (the housepanther). They're both as sweet and gentle as they are beautiful. (And as you can see, these ladycats are plenty beautiful!)

 

Strawberry and Bugsy were originally found when they showed up in a back yard in the area. The nice man who lived there fed them until they felt comfortable about coming inside. Once that happened, they all lived happily together until the man sadly fell ill, and had to go in to the hospital. The girls were taken initially to animal control, but they are now safe and loved at PAWS. Strawberry and Bugsy are about two years old, spayed, current on their vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Strawberry is a little more social than Bugsy, but both are sweet, and enjoy getting love and attention from their human pals.They are such good kitties, who are so ready to find their happily ever after. Come meet them today!

Rena's Sunday Selfie

Check out our gentle and gorgeous friend Rena! We were delighted when she raised her paw to volunteer for this week's Sunday Selfie. She did an amazing job, didn't she?

As you can see, 5 year-old Rena has really great markings, including her magnificent and floofy black tail. This sweet girl was found as a stray, and from what we are told, has had a number of litters in the past. She was pretty dirty when she arrived, and really perked up after a bath. Now, Rena is spayed, current on her vaccinations, negative for FIV and FeLV, and ready to find a forever home where SHE is the beloved baby of the house. Could that be with you?

(Almost) Wordless Joe the Cat

What's soft and sweet, and white all over? If you guessed "a marshmallow," you wouldn't exactly be wrong. But the correct answer for today's question is actually our amazing and adoptable pal Joe the Cat. 💖

When he first came to PAWS, Joe was a little bit overwhelmed by all of the unfamiliar sights and sounds of the shelter. Fortunately, with lots of love and attention from the volunteers and staff, and other nice cats to play with, he's positively blossomed. We know he will make a great forever best friend for some lucky adopter! Joe is about 7 months old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and SO ready to find his happily ever after. To know him is to love him, so come meet him today.

Selfies by Cal

Cal's story is a little reminiscent of our Angel Sammy. Like Sammy, Cal ended up at PAWS after he showed up in a feral cat colony, and was such a good boy that the feeder knew he must have once been someone's beloved pet. We are glad Cal is safe and loved at the shelter now, so that he can find his very own happily ever after.

Cal is about 2 years old. As you might imagine, having been in a colony, he gets along pretty well with other nice kitties. He's been a little shy at the shelter, but has really started coming out of his shell the past few weeks. We have no doubt that in a quiet, patient, and loving home, he will become some lucky family's best forever buddy. Cal is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He's so ready to find his forever home. Could it be with you?

(Almost) Wordless Wallace

Check out our adorable and adoptable buddy Wallace! This sweet guy came to PAWS from another rescue that was overflowing with kittens. It's wonderful when organizations can help each other out whenever possible. Anyway, back to Wallace... 💖😸💖

Wallace, who is about 7 months old, was pretty wary when he got to PAWS. And who could blame him? As nice as the shelter is, there were lots of unfamiliar sights, sounds, smells, cats, and humans. Poor Wallace found it pretty overwhelming. But with lots of love, play time (he LOVES to play), and more outgoing kitties to show him the ropes, Wallace has really begun to come out of his shell! We know he will positively blossom in a loving and patient home, and will be an amazing best friend for whoever is lucky enough to adopt him. Wallace is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet him today, and fall in love!
