FURever Home Friday - Over the Moon!

When our pal Roger was gotcha’d earlier this month, we promised a more extensive adoption update sometime in the not-too-distant future. We’re excited to say that TODAY is the day for that update!

Each and every time an animal leaves the shelter is cause for celebration, but sometimes there are adoptions that send our hearts soaring. So whose adoption, you’re wondering, has us over the moon?

Our sweet friend, Dottie :)

Beautiful 16 year-old Dottie found her way to PAWS when she was trapped in a feral colony and deemed to be adoptable. Early in her stay at PAWS, she was found to have very advanced glaucoma, precipitating the need to have both of her eyes removed. Despite losing her vision, Dottie kept her sweet disposition and adjusted amazingly well. She was even okay with other mellow cats in her room. Now all that was needed was someone to take a chance on a blind senior kitty. Well … two years later, that someone – our friend and former PAWS volunteer Maureen – is now fostering (with the possibility of adopting) Dottie! Dottie’s new housemates include Rosie, a very mellow cat, and Harvey, a super sweet little dog who also just happens to be blind. Thank you, Mo, and congratulations to you, Dottie, Harvey and Rosie!

Other lucky kitties who found forever homes include:

Stoney, who found his way to PAWS after being found as a stray after Hurricane Sandy

Roger

Scoots and Louie, who were adopted from PAWS as kittens, and came back when their owner was transferred for work out of the country

And finally, here’s a short "happy tail" from Parsley’s new mommy and daddy:

“At first we thought Parsley was not going to leave her room, and then she became sociable.  We are really enjoying her … thank you for all the work you and the people at PAWS did to make her a happy cat who makes us happy.”

Have a great weekend, everybody! :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

Here are (from left) Bunny, Mindy and Santana, hanging out in PAWS Cat Room 5 while they wait to find their forever homes.

Easy Like Sunday - 3 Views

PAWS graduate Sammy is spending the day lounging in his beloved bed.*

We hope your weekend is as relaxing as Sammy's. :)

* For those of you who asked in the comments of our previous bed post, we STILL have not been able to find out where the bed came from. It was donated to PAWS, and it seems to be custom-made, without a label, serial code, or anything else that would provide us with a clue.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Basket Girls

Roommates Cinnamon and Tessa are enjoying some

comfy cozy basket time in the PAWS records room...

Cinnamon: I sure do love this leopard-spotted cat bed (in my basket).

Tessa: Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

Halfway to the weekend ... hooray! :)

Easy Like Sunday - Elmer

Here's handsome, playful and adoptable Elmer, waving hello before he settles in for some Easy Like Sunday lap time.*

 Have a great Sunday, everyone!

* After 1 1/2 years at PAWS, Elmer recently decided he is a lap cat. :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Kipper

Everybody loves Kipper.  And he loves everybody (dogs, cats and kids) right back!  Kipper is totally easygoing, and loves being pet and snuggled.  This big and gentle mancat has quickly become a volunteer favorite, and would be a great addition to any home. Come meet him today, and fall in love! :)

(Fast) FURever Home Friday!

US: Hi Roger!  Guess who's been adopted?  We'll give you a hint ... this handsome kitty has a cute pink nose and tabby markings on his ears and tail.

 WHO, ME?  Seriously?!

It's true!  Our buddy Roger has been been adopted.  All of the volunteers will miss this lapcat who always made us laugh with his funny lounging poses, but we're SO happy for him and his new family.  Have a great happily ever after, Roger.  We love you!

We'll have a more extensive adoption update sometime soon, but just couldn't wait to share the good news about Roger.

Have a great weekend, everyone! :)
