Easy Like (Sammy) Sunday :)

Here's our very own PAWS graduate Sammy, taking it easy on his favorite chair and dreaming of the magical day when his Christmas tree makes its annual appearance.

Don't worry, Sammy, we'll be setting that tree up for you next weekend! :)

Easy Like Sunday/Veteran's Day- Bobby

Here's how our handsome manx mancat pal Bobby is spending his Veteran's Day...

"Oh!  I LOVE this part!"

Have an easy Sunday, everyone.  And thank you to veterans everywhere for their service!

A Very Special Adoption Event

This Saturday (November 10), PAWS will begin a fantastic 9-day adoption event. "9 Lives for 9 Dollars" -- part of Best Friends Animal Society's national promotion of the same name -- runs through Sunday, November 18.  And it is exactly what it sounds like ... all PAWS cats (nine months and older) can be adopted for a super low fee of just $9!

All these cats are spayed/neutered, current on their vaccinations, FIV and FeLV tested, and microchipped.  You'll even get a goody bag of food, toys and other items to welcome your new BFF home.  Is that not the best deal ever? :)  IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though the fee will be just $9, all potential adopters will, as always, be carefully screened.

PAWS has so many amazing kittehs waiting to find their forever families.  Here are just a few:

Top Row: Allie, Tessa, Dottie and Elmer; 2nd Row: Miles, Cinnamon,
and Ginger, Amanda, and Woogie; 3rd Row: Marshall, Brenna, Boop
and Oscar; Bottom Row: Roamer, Sandy, Doodle and Swizzle

Click here to check out a video ad created just for this event.  If you live within driving distance of Norwalk, Connecticut, and are ready to find your new furry best friend, come on down!  If you DON'T live in this area, check here to see if a shelter in YOUR area is participating in the national event.  

Finally, PLEASE consider helping spread the word by sharing this post anywhere and everywhere you can.  You just never know who might know someone. :)

Thank you, everyone.  Keep those fingers and paws crossed for lots of forever homes, and have a great weekend!

Today (November 4), we’re taking part in “BlogBlast for Peace.” Since Mimi Lenox started it in 2006, this day of peace has grown to include thousands of bloggers in more than 150 countries.

Imagine all the people, living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer,

but I'm not the only one.

I hope someday you'll join us,

and the world will live as one.

This post is in memory of our Auntie Kathy, who possessed a beautiful smile and a true spirit of peace.  She also fostered countless kittens for her local animal shelter, and was a huge fan of the Beatles.

Wishing peace for all beings today and every day,

Kevin, Tracey, Sammy and Moosey

Happy Halloween (and Thank You)!

In the spirit and colors of Halloween, we proudly present (most of) the black, orange and calico cats of PAWS.  Be sure to click on the picture to "biggify" it, so you can see all of these oh-so-adoptable beauties! :)

THANK YOU all who sent messages, purrs, prayers and good thoughts our way!  We at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life weathered Hurricane Sandy pretty well.  And we're happy to say that PAWS and all the animals there are safe and sound, too.

To those still dealing with the effects of Sandy, please know that we are thinking of you.

Happy MEOW-loween, everybody!
