Opt to Adopt - Oreo

Oreo is a snuggly lap cat, but there's a lot more to him than that.

Oreo also loves to play.  He gets along well with other cats. He loves people.  And just look at that adorable face!  Oreo is definitely "the complete package," and we're at a serious loss to explain why this awesome guy is still waiting to be adopted.

We sure hope his forever loving family comes and finds him soon.

Oreo is about 7 years old, neutered and microchipped.  He's current on his vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  Come meet him at PAWS today, and fall in love!

Easy Like Easter Sunday - Fumika

Here's hoping your Easter Sunday is as easy as the one being enjoyed by gentle and adoptable Fumika. Isn't she beautiful?

As you can see, she's found herself a perfect snoozy spot. 

Fumika is about five years old, spayed, micro-chipped and current on her vaccinations. She loves people, likes being pet and gets along well with other cats. And she's waiting at PAWS to meet you. :)

And from all of us to all of you who celebrate... 

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Photoshoot; Interviewed

Hi, Mimi and Stormy. How about some pictures?

Looking good, Mimi. Uh, Stormy?

 

 Stormy?

 

Ah ... perfect! Nice picture, ladies!

 White and tabby Mimi and tiger tabby Stormy are both available for adoption at PAWS. These friendly gals are both spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on their vaccinations. They've tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  Come meet them today! And while you're there, be sure to check out the cool artwork in the wall boxes of their room (painted by our pal, Maggie, at the Shelter Cats blog).

Have you heard? Moosey was interviewed as "Cat of the Week" by Basil the Bionic Cat! Big thanks to Basil (and his P.A. for making such awesome graphics of Moosey, Gracie and Zoe)!  You can find the fun interview here.

FURever Home Friday :)

Do you remember last week's post about our sweet and adorable friend Vine, who found herself back at PAWS after many years? Well guess what? The day after our post went live, Vine was officially adopted!

According to Vine's new mom, she has settled right in.  Check out these pictures of Vine and her new human brother. Their proximity and body language show they have become close and fast buddies. (note: we were asked to crop out Vine's brother's face for privacy reasons.)

Vine's new family just happens to be good friends with our fellow PAWS volunteer Maria, so we've already gotten a heartwarming report. Maria spoke with Vine's mom, and says that, "Vine is doing great!  She is exploring the whole house, and she especially enjoys watching the sun rise from her perch on the back of the couch.  When she jumped onto the piano keys with the top shut, and then looked at the top of the piano where there were pictures and other fragile items, her mom said, 'No Vine.' And Vine just jumped down! They are just thrilled with her; she has acclimated herself so well to their family."

Do you remember handsome, smiley-faced Andrew (aka Hobo)? He found his very own forever home, too!

Here's the full list of recent PAWS graduates!

And finally, here are two more happy tails (tales) that came in this week...

Bastet (I renamed her Bella) rules her new home! She uses her litterbox and seems okay with her food (vet has placed her on a weight-loss diet and she is down about a pound). Bella has had her vaccine updates; she visits the vet once a month for her weigh-in and to get her claws trimmed. She is a great cat and we adore her. Thank you!

Bella, looking very comfortable and happy

In a few weeks Davey will mark two years with us so I thought you would like to see how he’s doing. Davey is a joy. He remains full of mischief, something that appears to be part of his personality rather than simply what was kitten behavior. He is sweet and funny and, as ever, very playful. Miki and Davey are best buddies snuggling together or being close by each other.  It is so sweet.

Davey and Miki are BFFs!

Have a great weekend, everybody! :)

A Special Someone's Birthday!

What "it" is, is our mom’s birthday!  Happy birthday, Mom Tracey!

We all think you’re the best cat mom in the whole wide world, and we love you with all of our hearts! Thank you for loving us so much, for all you do for us and so many others, and for just being you.

Even though you have to go to work today, we hope you have a great day. And when you and Dad get home, we should all celebrate with extra snacks! We’ll even share with you! MOL.

Love,

Moosey, Gracie and Zoe (with a little help from Dad meowmeowmans)

Easy Like Selfie Sunday - Ryker

This week's Sunday Selfies Blog Hop* and Easy Like Sunday duties are being handled by our handsome and adoptable friend, Ryker. Here's his selfie (check out those awesome whiskers, cool eyes and dramatic face markings!):

Posing for selfies is apparently very tiring. Here's the part when Ryker dismissed the pawparazzi and settled in for his Sunday easy. Ha.

Happy Sunday, everybody.

* The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop is sponsored by our pals at The Cat on My Head. Be sure to visit, and check out this week's other participants. :)

A friend comes back

A few weeks back, Tracey and I were checking out some of the newest PAWS cats. On one of the intake cages was a card that read, "Vine." I looked in, and gasped when I realized that the cute, round-faced adult kitty looking back at me was an old, dear friend who had been one of the first cats ever featured on our blog (back in January 2009).

Vine always had the sweetest, most loving disposition, and we never forgot this snuggly girl, even after she was adopted.  When we opened the cage door, it was pretty evident she remembered us, too.  And that she still had the same amazing personality.  She popped right up and repeatedly rubbed her face against mine, all the while kneading her cat bed and purring away. :)

We found out that Vine came back to PAWS through no fault of her own. Sadly, her human became ill, and is no longer able to keep her. We can tell Vine's human loved her a lot, and took good care of her.  And even though she's now a senior kitty (13 years old), it's clear she still has so much love to give, and so much life to live.  Vine is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, micro-chipped, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  Won't you please consider giving this beautiful lovebug the new forever home she wants and deserves?
