FURever Home Friday! :)

We don't know about you, but it's been a long week for all of us at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life, and we're glad it's finally Friday.  What makes it even better is that it's time for another installment of FURever Friday, when we celebrate the lucky PAWS cats who have recently found their very own happily ever afters!

Do you remember handsome, playful Igor?  How about beautiful calico Kit-E?  And who could forget pretty Pewter?  They've all been adopted!

Clockwise from upper left: Pewter, Igor and Kit-E

And that's not all.  Here's the full list of PAWS cat graduates since our last adoption update:

And just to make you smile even more, here's a terrific "happy tail" from PAWS alumni Peanut and her family:

Peanut has adjusted extremely well and we could not have chosen a more loving cat. Below is a photo of her right now curled up on a blanket snoozing the day away! She uses the kitty litter with no problem. Although she loves to eat and she tends to be my alarm clock in the am! Thanks for checking in on her. She is loved by all who enters our home.

Have a great weekend, everybody! :)

Three (Friends) on Thankful Thursday

Each and every cat - like Wee Willie Winky, Pewter and Marcy - has its own unique look, personality and story.  But every shelter cat also has a common wish ... to find a forever family of their very own.

We're thankful that there are places like PAWS, where cats and dogs are given as long as it takes to find their own happily ever afters. And where they can be loved and cared for while they're waiting.

We're also thankful for our friends The Florida Furkids at the awesome Friends FurEver blog! A few weeks ago, they had a commentathon to celebrate Mom Sharon's birthday. And guess what? OUR comment was randomly selected, so the proceeds from the commentathon went to the rescue of our choice! As you would imagine, we chose PAWS. So the Florida Furkids made a donation to the PAWS Cosmo Fund, which helps pay for medical expenses for very sick or injured pets in the shelter's care. How cool is that?  Thank you Allie, Ellie, Raz and Cubby, for being such great friends (and Mom Sharon, for having a birthday).  We love you, pals! :)

Today, we’re taking part in “BlogBlast for Peace.” Since Mimi Lenox started it in 2006, this day of peace has grown to include tens of thousands of bloggers in more than 200 countries on six continents.   Our globe features our beautiful friend Holly.  Her spirit is one of the gentlest, most peaceful ones we've ever beheld. 

Wishing peace for all beings, today and every day,

Kevin, Tracey, Moosey, Gracie and Zoe

Easy Like Sunday - Tug

Here's everybody's buddy Tug, leading the Sunday snooze-fest in Cat Room 5.

Happy Sunday, everyone! :)

Happy MEOW-lo-ween!

(L to R) Hello Kitty Zoe, Engineer Moosey and Queen Zoe

Happy MEOW-lo-ween from (PAWS graduates) Moosey, Gracie and Zoe, and all of us here at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life!

We hope everybody gets more treats than tricks this Halloween.  And that lots of homeless animals everywhere get the sweetest treat of all ... a forever home of their very own. :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Kit E

Pretty Kit E's information card does not say so, but she also happens to like human laps.  She's up to date on all her shots, negative for FeLV and FIV, and ready for her very own forever family. :)
