Easy LIke Sunday / A Short Break

As you can see, our pals Mindy, Warner and Mercedes are taking it easy today.  Kitty piles are the best, aren't they? :)

And speaking of easy, we're currently taking a short break.  See you later this week! :) 

FURever Home Friday

Guess what today is?  It's FURever Home Friday! :)

Like rescues everywhere during the warmer months (often referred to as "kitten season"), PAWS has been practically bursting at the seams with kittens.  Thankfully, several of these babies have found forever families since our last adoption update, including: Captain Kirk, Geronimo, Gunnar, Happiness and Janeway (together), Humpty Dumpty, Kent and Kenny (together), Neon, Sitting Bull and Xenon (pictured above).

And check THIS out!  Two adult cats also got in on the adoption parade!  Tilly, a sweet 10 year-old Persian who came to PAWS from a hoarding situation, was adopted just this past weekend.  And Furby, her adorable 3 year-old daughter (rescued from the same situation), also found her very own forever home recently.  To see some beautiful pictures of Tilly and Furby, check out our pal (and fellow PAWS volunteer) Maggie's awesome blog, Shelter Cats!

Be sure to TUNE IN NEXT FRIDAY (August 6), when WE will unveil a wonderful SURPRISE. We just KNOW you'll be as excited as we are! :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Pauline

This is our adoptable friend Pauline.  Isn't she beautiful?

Pauline used to be very timid, but she's made incredible progress with consistent love and attention (and TREATS) from her volunteer pals.  She gets along well with other kitties, and would do well in a quieter home.  Pauline is about 4 years old, spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on all her vaccinations, and has tested negative for FeLV and FIV.  Come meet this sweetheart today! :)

Moosey is taking part in the annual Cat Blogosphere Trip (hosted by our friend Gracie, and going on now)!  This year's destination is PARIS!  Click here to see the adventures that Moosey and his pals from Twinkletoe Tails and his honorary family, the Cherry City Kitties are having! 

Easy Like SUNday - Moosey

Our sweet Moosey loves relaxing in our upstairs window.  The view is great, and the sunpuddles are pretty good, too! :)

Have an easy Sunday, everyone.

A Kitten Shower!

It's raining kittens!  It's been a very busy "kitten season" around these parts, so PAWS is holding a week-long Kitten Shower to help some of these babies to find forever homes.  And you're all invited!  During the event, there will be lower adoption fees, prizes, refreshments and goody bags.  Oh, and LOTS of sweet, silly and beautiful KITTENS of every size, shape and color! :)

The Kitten Shower runs from Saturday, August 23rd through Saturday, August 30th.  Click here for all the details!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Patch :)

Sweet and gentle Patch is still waiting for his forever home.  Won't you give this handsome boy the chance he wants and deserves?

Black Cat Appreciation Day 2013

Today, August 17, is Black Cat Appreciation Day!

You may be asking yourself, "why do black cats even need a special day?"  Sadly, the myths, stereotypes and superstitions about black cats being unlucky or "bad" persist for many people.  Statistics certainly seem to bear this out.  Black cats are only half as likely to be adopted as cats of other colors.  And even black cats lucky enough to end up in no-kill rescues stay several months longer than their other-colored counterparts.  What a shame, because there are so many black kitties (including a bunch at PAWS) who are lucky, sweet, lovable and full of personality!  Oh, and sleek and beautiful, too, like sisters Zoe and Gracie:

We LOVE these two sisters so much.  And they love us, too (and everyone they meet)! :)
