(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Allie

It's shocking to us that sweet and beautiful lapcat Allie is still at PAWS. We sure hope the new year brings her the loving forever home she wants and deserves.

Happy Sunday, everybody! :)

Fun on Friday!

A while back, we got some terrific homemade kitty toys during the Celestial Kitties' FUNdraiser for our friend Chrystal's private cat rescue.  We brought some of the toys to PAWS, and the kitties LOVE them.  To prove the point, here are Roamer and Toni with a little fun for your Friday...

Roamer: "Check out my bunny-kicking, putting on the bitey style!"

Toni: "Hey, I think there's catnip in this toy!"

Beautiful Toni and handsome Roamer live in the PAWS meeting room, and both are available for adoption.  Come meet them, and fall in love!

Happy Friday, everybody! :)

Tessa on Tuesday - Cat of the Month

Hi Everybuddy!  I'm Tessa, and guess what?  I'm the "PAWS Cat of the Month!"  That means that my adoption fee is just $75 in January!  Oh, and whoever adopts me gets a new best friend AND a special goody bag, too!  Pretty good deal, huh?

Many people are surprised to learn that I've been waiting for a forever home at PAWS for a long time.  Especially when my closest volunteer friends explain that I am a sweet and dainty ladycat who loves catnip, sitting on laps, being pet, and playing with the laser cat toy.  And that I am graceful, and such an amazing jumper that it almost appears that I can fly!  So why am I still here, you ask?  Well, I'm sort of shy and reserved around new people, so potential adopters don't get to see just how special I am.  I just KNOW that if somebuddy gives me a chance, we will be the bestest of friends.

Here's me on my friend Tracey's lap :)

I am about three years old, spayed, microchipped, current on all my vaccinations, and I've tested negative for FeLV and FIV.  I do have a food allergy, but this is something that is easily managed by a prescription food.  I do seem to tolerate non-dominant, easygoing kitties, but would probably do best as an only cat in a quieter home.

Me being silly!

Thanks for checking me out here.  Come meet me in PURRson at PAWS, okay?

Love,

Tessa

What the Mom and Dad did in NYC!

Hi, it's me, Sammy! As a formerly feral cat myself, I know how difficult it is for kitties living outside, especially during the long, cold winter months.  So I was really happy that the dad and the mom got to join about 200 other cat lovers in New York City Thursday night for a really awesome event called "Architects for Animals."

Get a load of these pictures* of what they saw there!  Those are shelters for the feral cats living in New York City, designed by leading architectural design firms.  Is that not the coolest?

The exhibition was held by Architects for Animals and the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals to benefit the New York City Feral Cat Initiative.  All of the shelters on display at the event are being donated to existing feral cat colonies around the city. :)

Oh, and as if these tricked out, creative shelters weren't enough excitement for one night, the mom and dad also got to hang out IN PERSON with some of our blogging pals!

That's Mom and Dad in the center of the back row.  They had so much fun meeting (left to right)  Carine, from Texas, a cat in New York; Laura from Squeedunk; Tamar from I Have Cat; and Layla from Cat Wisdom 101!

Have a great day, everyone! :)
