Easy Like Sunday Selfie - Midnight :)

Okay, granted we're kind of partial to housepanthers, but isn't our gentle, super-affectionate friend, Midnight, gorgeous? :) 

We spent some quality time with adorable, adoptable Miss Midnight on Saturday, and we will attest that she is an absolute darling. That sweet and loving look in her eyes says it all, doesn't it?

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Midnight also takes a pretty awesome selfie. :)

Midnight is about 7 1/2 years old. She is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She gets along well with other nice cats, but would also be fine as your one and only, if that's how you roll. If you're looking for love, Midnight is the ladycat for you. Come meet her at PAWS today! :)

We're taking part in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our wonderful pals at The Cat on My Head! Be sure to visit their blog to see who's hopping this week, and/or to join in the fun! :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Delta

This is our adorable, adoptable tabby cat pal, Delta. 

She's about 8 months old, and loves other kitties (she gets along super well with the other cats in Room 5). She's still not entirely sure about people, though.

But the PAWS staff and volunteers have been hard at work to convince Delta that humans are sources of love, kindness and all other good things. And slowly but surely, those efforts seem to be working. :)

Delta is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She would do best in a quiet, patient home where she will be allowed the time she needs to feel comfortable. And since she loves other kitties, she could be a great addition to a home that already has feline residents. Won't you please consider giving Delta the chance she so deserves?

Selfies on Sunday

It's Sunday, and as we almost always do, we're taking part in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our good friends at The Cat on My Head! A bunch of the adorable, adoptable PAWS cats were up for the challenge this week. Check it out!

First up is sweet Princess, who also modeled the handmade Peruvian Chullo hat from our pals, Basil the Bionic Cat. :)

Beautiful Roxy is new to PAWS, but it's clear this tuxie ladycat is a selfie-taking pro. :)

Handsome Taylor may be shy, but he gathered up some courage and took a top-notch selfie!

Merritt is the queen of the Showcase Room. And her selfie shows off her beautiful markings, royal colors, and a little cattitude for good measure. :)

Be sure to visit The Cat on My Head, to see who else is hopping! If you need extra incentive, they're showcasing a selfie by another one of our beloved PAWS friends this week. :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - June :)

It always makes us smile when kitties in Cat Room 8 hang out underneath the Kliban Cat artwork. And here's our sweet and beautiful friend, June, doing exactly that. :)

June is about 2 years old, and was found abandoned near PAWS. She's a calm and gentle ladycat who has learned that the staff and volunteers here are sources of love and kindness (and food!). She'll do well in a quieter home, and would be okay with older children and/or other cats. June is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet her, and fall in love!

 

Easy Like Selfie Sunday - Princess :)

Our beautiful friend Princess volunteered this week for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop (hosted by our friends at The Cat on My Head). As you can see, it turns out this sweet, lovable tabby has some serious selfie skills!

Princess' Selfie

Easy Like Sunday Selfie

Princess is a very healthy 16 year-old kitty, who has lots more love to give to some lucky forever family. She's spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV amd FeLV. Princess loves attention, cuddling and gets along well with other nice cats. We all adore her! Now all she needs is a forever home. Is it with you?

Princess also qualifies for the PAWS Pension Plan, which features no fee adoptions for cats 12 years and older, with the following included at no cost for the life of the cat: a yearly exam and senior blood workup analysis, and vaccinations as recommended by the PAWS vet!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Marie :)

This cutie patootie is our new friend, Marie.

 

We're still getting to know her, but we've already established that she's a super sweet and cuddly lapcat who loves being pet.

She's quickly becoming a favorite among the cat volunteers. :)

Marie is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. She may be a senior kitty, but she's got a lot more living to do, and lots more love to give. So, what are you waiting for? Come meet Marie today! :)

Happiest New Year (FURever Home Style)!

Happy New Year, indeed! That's what it is for a whole bunch of PAWS kitties who were adopted in late-November and December. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when long timers Pumpkin and Miss Piggy found their forever homes.

Oh, and here's a Happy Tail Tale to give you another reason to smile as we start 2017...

“I thought you would love to see Letterman at the window this morning! He has been sitting there watching it snow and watching the birds since we got up! He is doing really well! We are at the point where all three cats sleep on the bed! He takes his medicine in his food with no problem and he seems to be setting in to the daily routines here and the other kitties are being accepting of their new friend.” (Ed: LOVE!)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Buddy :)

Hi there, handsome Buddy. What's that you're looking at?

Oh, we see. It's a pesky purple pipe cleaner.

Get it, Buddy!

Okay, time to rest. :)

Our pal Buddy is about 12 years old, neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He'll be a great best friend to whoever is lucky enough to adopt him, and will do best in a quieter home where the cuddles are abundant, but without small children or other animals. He's such a good boy. Won't you please give him the chance he deserves?

Buddy qualifies for the PAWS Pension Plan, which features no fee adoptions for cats 12 years and older, with the following included at no cost for the life of the cat: a yearly exam and senior blood workup analysis, and vaccinations as recommended by the PAWS vet.

Happy Meow-lidays! :)

The tradition lives on: waiting for Santa :)

Happy Holidays, everybuddy!

May all your dreams and wishes come true this season.

Love, hugs and headbonks,

Gracie, Zoe, Tracey and Kevin (meowmeowmans)

P.S. - We're participating in the very special Christmas Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our beloved friends at The Cat on My Head. Check it all the festivities HERE! 

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Zatz

Meet our new friend, Zatz. Isn't she beautiful? 

Zatz is still pretty new at PAWS, so she's just starting to come out of her shell. And we're still just getting to know her personality.

Her intake card says that she "can be feisty," but we wonder if that behavior is just part of being in such an unfamiliar place. Because we've also noticed that she can be playful, sweet and engaging. 

Zatz is about 8 years old, and would probably do best in a home without children or other pets. We're pretty sure she'll blossom once she's in a stable and loving home. Zatz is spayed, micro-chipped and current on her vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Now all she needs is a forever home. Is it yours?

Wishing meowmeowmans a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Hi! Mom Tracey here, hijacking today's post. Furkids Gracie and Zoe, and I, would like to wish Kevin (aka meowmeowmans) a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!  Many moons (aka years) ago, on this day, a very kind and caring person was born into this world. We are so excited to celebrate this special birthday weekend with him, and we're extremely blessed to have so many animal-loving friends to share in it.

So, we'd like you all to spread a little extra kindness this weekend in honor
of this super guy's birthday.

We love you!

Tracey (aka mrs meowmeowmans), Gracie and Zoe

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Hanging with Lucy

Here's our beautiful and adoptable housepanther pal, Lucy, hanging out on (and off of) the well-loved Room One cat tree. 

Lucy's been living at PAWS for one year, while she waits to find her forever home. She's a cautious ladycat, but is fine with staff and volunteers she knows well. We know she'll blossom in a quiet and patient home. Lucy is about 9 years old, spayed, micro-chipped, and current on her vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Now all she needs is a hero to rescue her. Is it you?

A Special Sunday Selfie - Angel Moosey

"The song is ended, but the melody lingers on…" – Irving Berlin

Never forgotten. Always loved.

It's been one year since we had to say our sad goodbyes to our beloved Moosey.

This beautiful portrait of Moosey was painted by Nellie the Cat's mom, Barb.

We love and miss you so much, sweet boy. But we know we will see you again, one fine day. Wait for us, okay?

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Pumpkin

This is our sweet, gentle and adoptable friend, Pumpkin. If she looks familiar to those of you who are familiar with our blog, it's because she has been waiting at PAWS for quite some time for her forever home.

It makes us sad that wonderful cats like Pumpkin get overlooked, simply because they're a little more reserved and shy around people they don't know well.

We wish potential adopters could see what we see whenever we spend time with Pumpkin - an awesome kitty who will blossom in a real home, and who will be a loving, faithful friend, if given the chance.

We sure hope someone gives Pumpkin the gift of a forever home for the holidays.

Pumpkin is about 12 years old, spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. She's got lots more living to do, and would be a great best friend to whoever is lucky enough to adopt her. She also qualifies for the PAWS Pension Plan, which features no fee adoptions for cats 12 years and older, with the following included at no cost for the life of the cat: a yearly exam and senior blood workup analysis, and vaccinations as recommended by the PAWS vet. Come meet Pumpkin today!
