Oh, how I adore this cute little black butterball of love! From the minute Claire came to PAWS, she stole my heart ... she climbed right up on my chest and gave me kisses and wanted to be pet. Always up for a good brushing, Claire purrs from the moment the cat brush touches her fur. She also likes a good cat bed. This sweet, easygoing girl always makes herself right at home. If you're looking for love, Claire's got it in abundance!
These very sweet litter mates came back to PAWS when their owner could no longer keep them. Morgan (the all black kitty) greets Kevin and me at the door when we come to visit him and his furry buddies in their room. He is also the first to lie down with us on the futon in the room. Chandler (the black and white kitty) is the more cerebral kitty of the two, and as such, is more content to "take it all in." He's the type of guy who likes to hang out and scope out what's going on in the world around him. It's clear from their interactions that these gentle brothers love each other very much.
Artie - This cute 2 year old orange and white tabby is a really nice boy who came in with his sibling Ari (who looks almost identical to him). When they first came to PAWS they were very afraid but they have since settled in fine. Artie gets along with all the many cats in his room, is very gentle, and loves to play with his brother. He also thoroughly enjoys watching "Cat TV" and, as you can see from his picture, lounging on the giant bean bag-like chair.
When Thurman -- an adorable white and black kitty -- first came to PAWS, he had a leg injury that required a cast. This poor little guy had to be confined to a cage so that his leg could heal. He could only come out under supervision, but when he did, he did so fearlessly ... exploring his room and using the cat scratcher with total abandon. And despite the cast on his leg, he still loved to climb the lower levels of the cat tree ... he's such a little kitten! This total lovebug is now enjoying life without his cast - hanging out with all the other kitties (he loves this, by the way!) in his new room. And unhindered by that pesky cast ... Thurman loves to explore the higher levels of the "community" cat tree!
When Kerry first came to PAWS, he had some serious eye problems and we did the best we could to fix things up. This cute, year-old tabby has no vision out of his left eye limited vision in his other eye, but you'd never know it. Kerry LOVES other kitties and is very playful ... he's especially fond of toy mice! And while he can be a little shy at first, once he's gotten to know you, he's a little snuggler! That's certainly the case with Kevin and me ... when we visit the room he shares with his kitty pals, Kerry is one of the first to greet us at the door.
Nemo is an adorable orange tabby with plenty of energy. He's about 8+ months old. Although he has a neurological disorder and is a little wobbly on his feet, Nemo doesn't let it stop him! Because of his unsteady nature, he would probably do best in a house with no other animals AND lots of carpeting and a covered litter box. Oh yeah ... Nemo has never met a toy he didn't like ... string toys, toy mice, balls, the cat tree, and even wadded up pieces of paper ... they're all good to this guy!
Valentino - This gorgeous black and white kitty was left on the doorstep of PAWS and we can't understand why. After all, he's an extremely sweet, gentle and loving kitty. That's why we named him Valentino. He's about 7 years old, gets along with other cats and loves people. He's an established lounger who is always working to perfect his relaxation techniques in warmest and comfiest spots.
