Feed Me Friday :)

Us: Hi Biddy! What are you looking at?

Biddy: My cage card. Hey, Kevin and Tracey ... what's that written in marker,
right next to "Ideal for quieter home?"


Biddy: Well? What are you waiting for?

Our stunning (and adoptable) pal Biddy is another kitty who has had some difficulty adjusting to life at the shelter.  It turns out she DOES love treats and catnip, and lets her favorite volunteer friends pet her on the head.  She's definitely making progress.  Recently, she came out of her cage for the first time ever -- while we were in the room!  Check out this video of that historic moment:


Have a great weekend, everybody! :)

Tabby Girl Tuesday - Sheba

Meet our tabby friend, Sheba.  Isn't she beautiful?  Sheba came to PAWS after she had trouble adjusting to a new human baby in her house.  We can imagine that after years of being the child of the house, Sheba was confused and scared by the new little human's arrival. When we first met her, Sheba would literally sit with her back to us, staring at the back corner of her cage.  It made us so very sad.  But with love, patience and affection from the volunteers and staff, our "Sheebie" is starting to come out of her shell.  She now faces the front of the cage, loves catnip, and even gives cheek rubs to her favorite human friends. :)

Sheba is about 15 years old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations.  She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  She has lots of love to give, and would do best in a quiet home with no children or other animals.  Won't you give her the chance she so deserves?

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Patches


This is our beautiful and adoptable friend, Patches.  She can be a little shy at first, but is friendly once she gets to know you.  Patches would do best in a quieter home, with no small children or other animals.  She's about 3 years old,  spayed, microchipped, current on all her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FeLV and FIV.

Thankful Thursday - The Love of Friends

Since it's Thankful Thursday, we wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of you -- our amazing friends -- for your outpouring of sympathy, purrs and prayers since our sweet mancat Sammy departed for Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you Alasandra, the Cats and a Dog for this beautiful image of Sammy at the Bridge
The mom and the dad find the mornings and right before bedtime to be the most difficult, since these are the times when Sammy was always the most active.  Brofur Moosey, a very sensitive cat, is noticeably out of sorts.  He clearly misses Sammy, but we know he will be okay with time (just as we all will be).  Until we are, we take much comfort in the mantle of your care, compassion and love.  Thank you.  We appreciate you all.
