FURever Home Friday, Again!

We don't usually do "FURever Home Friday" posts on consecutive Fridays, but we have such exciting news that we just couldn't wait to share it with all of you!  While we celebrate each and every adoption, our spirits absolutely soar when any of our "long-timers" finally find their forever families.  So who, you ask, was gotcha'd in the last week?

Let's lead things off with Kurt, who is going to a home of his very own after one and a half years at PAWS!  His new forever human came in looking for a "younger" special needs cat, but fell in love with Kurt, instead.  (In case you're wondering, Kurt is 9 years young, and has asthma.)  :)

Kurt has been adopted!

Next up are sweet 12 year old brothers Derek and Andy, who are now in a loving permanent foster home, where we know they'll flourish!  These boys had been at PAWS for more than two years.

Derek and Andy are in permanent foster!

Also joining the ranks of PAWS graduates were:

Ming and Beijing (together)

Pan and Persephone (together)

Violet

Walter

 Congratulations, purrs and love to all of these kitties and their new families!

And finally, here's a really quick “happy tale” to make you smile:

Our fellow volunteer Pam R. says beautiful house panther Morticia (who was adopted from PAWS) is “…happy, frisky, and super cute…”  Sounds like a “happily ever after,” if you ask us.

Morticia, looking adorable in her forever home. :)

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Arrrgh! It Be Meow Like a Pirate Day!

(from left) Captain Sammy, Mate Elmer, Commander Moosey, and Mate Virginia

Ahoy there, mateys!  Today be "Meow Like a Pirate Day" on Ye Olde Cat Blogosphere!  We (Captain Sammy and Commander Moosey) be sailing the high seas in search of forever homes for all of our adoptable PAWS pirate buddies, including our shipmates Elmer and Virginia.  There be plenty of provisions -- tuna, chick-hen, cheese, catnip, cat milk, temptations, and lots of toys -- for the journey, so come along as we set sail!

Look what we got!

Check it out!  The folks at 1-800-PetMeds generously gave us a $50 credit to try out their site.  Look at what we found there!  Our sweet senior, Sammy, loves laying on our comfy living room furniture.  But because of his arthritis, it's been a while since he has been able to jump up on the sofa, chair, or ottoman without our help.  But thanks to these nifty pet steps, now he can.  As you can see, he figured out how to use them fairly quickly.

Sammy: "That was easy."

Sammy: "I love this ottoman."

Moosey: "Me, too.  I'll just wait here on the steps for my turn on the ottoman."

Shipping was fast; the pet steps arrived just a few days after we placed our order.  We were so excited to find them.  We always thought PetMeds only carried medications, but it turns out they also sell cat treats, food, crates, catnip, pet health supplements, and some toys.  Oh, and of course, pet steps. :)

The nice people there also gave us a $50 credit to buy something for PAWS.  We ordered some Advantage II flea preventative for treating cats who are new to the shelter.  Ordering was easy, and there was quite a selection.  As with the steps, the shipment arrived in just a few days.  Here are PAWS "Showcase Room" cats Anime, Bobby and Junior helping show off the goods. :)

Anime: "I sure hope you're not planning to use this stuff on me."

Junior (L) and Bobby: "The same goes for us ... we're already flea-free."

 Special thanks to Dana, Abby and all the other great people at 1-800-PetMeds.

Have a great day, everybody!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Moosey!

Our sweet boy (and PAWS graduate) Moosey is doing some whapping on Wednesday! :)
