Selfies by Ava and Target / Short Break

This week's selfies are brought to you courtesy of our very own PAWS graduates, Ava and Target. We love these little cuties so much and they bring such joy to our lives.

 

About that short break: things are a bit "extra" for us right now, so we need to take a bit of a breather. We promise we'll be back soon. 💖

 

We're participating today in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our wonderful friends at The Cat on My Head. Be sure to check out who's hopping along and/or join in on the fun!

 

(Almost) Wordless Page

And now, for your midweek viewing pleasure, here's our gorgeous, gentle, and adoptable friend Page. 💖

 

 

In case you're wondering, Page is even more beautiful than she looks in this photo. She's also sweet as can be! To learn more about Page, check out her PAWS description here.

  

Selfies by Joe Hill

Joe Hill may be a little shy at first, but give him a chance, and you’ll see just how sweet he really is.

This handsome two-year-old grey tabby came to PAWS after being rescued with 25 other cats from a likely backyard breeding situation. Understandably cautious at first, Joe is already learning that he’s safe and loved. If you sit quietly in his open room, he’ll make his way over in his curious and gentle way, ready for some love and attention (chin scritches are his favorite).

Joe is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. He does well with other nice cats and would thrive in a calm, patient home. Sometimes the quiet ones have the most to give. Come meet Joe Hill today, and fall in love.

Like our very own beloved Target, Joe Hill has tested positive for FIV, but it's important to remember this does not mean he can't live a long and happy life. According to Best Friends Animal Society, "FIV-positive cats can live normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. But if they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets." FIV cannot be passed to other cats through casual contact, or by sharing food, water, or a litter box. Nor can it be passed to people or other pet species.

(Almost) Wordless Second Hand News

This sweet and adoptable little cutie is named Second Hand News. 

 

We're told this six-month-old kitten was named after a song from Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" album. We have our fingers and paws crossed, though, that he soon finds a forever loving home where he'll always be lead story! You can read Second Hand News' PAWS bio here.

Big Daddy's Selfie

On Wednesday, we shared with you about handsome and gentle Marcus. Who better, we thought, to pose for this week's selfie than his best buddy Big Daddy? 

Big Daddy

At about one year old, Big Daddy is the perfect mix of youthful energy and affectionate companionship. He’s playful, cuddly, and wonderfully extroverted. He adores people and gets along beautifully with other cats.

Big Daddy also has a heart as big as his personality. He’s helped his shy best friend and roomie (Marcus), come out of his shell, showing just how gentle and supportive he can be. Because of their special bond, we’d love nothing more than to see these two adopted together. Both Big Daddy and Marcus are neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all their vaccinations. Come meet them at PAWS today!

(Almost) Wordless Marcus

Check out our handsome and gentle friend Marcus. 💖

 

 

He was so shy when he first arrived at PAWS, and would very rarely emerge from the cubby in his cage. But with love and attention from the kind volunteers and staff, Marcus has begun to realize that he is in a safe and caring place. He really enjoys getting pets from and being talked with by favorite peeps!

 

This sweet housepanther now lives in an open/cageless room with other nice cats, and a window from which he can watch (and chatter at) the birds that are outside.

 

To learn more about marvelous (and adoptable) Marcus, be sure to check out his bio sketch.

 

Happy Easter!

From all of us -- especially our very own PAWS alumni Ava and Target -- happy Easter to all who celebrate, happy Passover to all who celebrate, and a happy Sunday to everyone!

(Almost) Wordless Stephen King

April Fools' Day may be upon us, but we're not joking when we tell you our handsome and adoptable friend Stephen King is as sweet as they come.

 

We enjoyed getting to know this gentle senior kitty last weekend, and can attest that he loves people and gets along well with other nice cats.

Selfies by Popple

This week's selfies are brought to you courtesy of our handsome and adoptable new friend Popple. He's still pretty new to PAWS, but it's clear he knows a thing or two about posing for the camera!

Popple is about 2½ years old. He was found as a stray near a parking lot dumpster, and is now learning to feel safe at the shelter -- and quickly showing his affectionate side.

He loves pets and attention, is friendly, playful, and curious, and gets along with other nice cats. Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, Popple is ready to find a forever home where he can love and be loved. Come meet him 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 Chrissy Snow

This little cutie is sweet and adoptable Chrissy Snow!

 

If the PAWS room Chrissy is in looks a little familiar, it's because she and Suzy Q (who we posted about on Sunday) are PAWS roommates. 😸

You can read more about Chrissy Snow here.

 

Selfies by Suzy Q

You may remember our recent post about adorable and adoptable cow cat sisters Mindy and Spirit. You may also recall we mentioned they had an equally awesome sister named Suzy Q who wasn't available for pictures that day. Well, guess who volunteered for this week's selfie? If you guessed it was Suzy Q, you would be correct! 💖

In this next photo, Suzy Q was checking out the action in the hallway. It always makes us smile when the cats do this. 

Like her sisters, Suzy Q is spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccinations, and waiting at PAWS to find her happily ever after. Could it be with you?

(Almost) Wordless Athena

Our beautiful friend Athena is still waiting to be discovered by her new forever best friend.

 

 

She's not a fan of other cats, but she positively adores her human pals at PAWS. We love how she meows through the window of her room to invite us to spend time with her. And that she's a lap cat when the mood strikes -- I sat down right after taking this photo, and little Miss Athena climbed into my lap and promptly fell asleep.

Athena is about 1 1/2 years old. She's spayed, microchipped, and current on her vaccinations. She's ready to be some lucky adopter's forever one and only. Come meet Athena today and fall in love!

Selfies by Charlotte

Our pal Charlotte is a petite tabby with a larger than life personality. She’s the official greeter of her open room at PAWS, excitedly welcoming each visitor with cheerful meows, rumbling purrs, and affectionate head bonks.

As you can see, her beautiful eyes and natural charm make her a wonderful model for anyone snapping a photo.

Charlotte is affectionate, playful, and endlessly curious. She adores people and gets along well with other nice cats. She’s microchipped, spayed, and current on her vaccinations.

Now all Charlotte needs is a new forever best friend. Could it be you?

(Almost) Wordless Sisters: Mindy and Spirit

Happy midweek from super sweet, adorable, and adoptable sisters Spirit and Mindy!

 

Spirit

Mindy

Mindy

Spirit

Mindy and Spirit (and their equally adorable sister Suzy Q, who is not pictured in this post) are 8-month-old sister “cow cats” rescued from a home where a love for cats got out of hand without spaying and neutering. With their adorable spotted coats and playful personalities, this well-socialized trio is absolutely chock full of charm! All three girls are spayed, microchipped, and up to date on their vaccinations -- and ready to bring a lifetime of love to their forever homes. Come meet them at PAWS today!
