Friends on Friday, and a Special Event!

Gracie

Zoe: Look! It's from our friends at The Cat On My Head.

Moosey: It's like a treasure chest.

Check out all of this stuff!

A little while ago, our dear friends at The Cat On My Head (aka The Kitties Blue) had a drawing/giveaway for the awesome swag they got at this year's BlogPaws Conference. And guess what? The random number selector picked US! How cool is that?

There was SO much stuff in the box ... a cat nip grinder, yummy treats, fun toys, a laser pointer, an official The Cat On My Head pen, and more! So much more, in fact, that we were able to share a lot of it with the PAWS cats, including pretty and adoptable Swizzle (who the Kitties Blue sponsor every month, and who is an honorary Blue Kitty)...

Swizzle: Thank you for my new pink toys, Kitties Blue and Mom Janet!

Big thanks, hugs and headbonks to you, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, and Mom Janet, for being such great friends, and for sharing your loot with us and the cats at PAWS. :)

Speaking of PAWS, there's a special event this Saturday (August 15th) called "Clear the Shelters." PAWS is one of hundreds of shelters across the nation waiving adoption fees on adult cats and dogs for the day! We sure hope it's a huge success, and that many animals find their happily ever afters. You can read more about the event here.

Tuxie Tuesday (Opt to Adopt Morita)!

This is our beautiful, adoptable pal Morita. We're not sure exactly who named her, but we find it sort of humorous that "Cat Morita" rhymes with "Pat Morita," the name of the actor who played Mr. Miyagi in the original "Karate Kid" movie franchise.

Morita the cat may not be a karate master, but she's a black belt when it comes to snuggling, playing and being pet. This 2.5 year old sweetheart gets along with some other cats, and even some dogs; she would also be okay in a home with older children. Morita is spayed, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet her today! :)

FURever Home Friday! :)

Hooray! It's time for the latest edition of FURever Home Friday, our periodic post about the lucky PAWS kitties who've found their forever homes. There's no sense delaying the deluge of happiness ... let's get this party started! :)

Do you remember our talkative and snuggly senior pal, Sophia? She was one of the shelter's longest (and most beloved) residents. She had been waiting patiently to be discovered by some lucky humans for almost 4 years. Well...

...Sophia's now in a permanent foster home, which is as close as a kitty can get to being adopted without actually being adopted. She'll live permanently in a real home, with her loving foster parents, and only come back to PAWS for checkups. We already miss her immensely, but are over the moon to hear she's already made herself right at home (and that she is a big fan of bird shows on her parents' iPad). :)

Look who else found their happily ever afters!

Here's the full list of the most recent PAWS graduates:

Archie, Asia, Bengali, Buttercup and Blossom (together), C-Lo, Eenie and Miney (together), Diamond, DJ, Erica, Frodo and Graycie (together), Little Caesar, Martina, Mindy, Olga, Oliver, Poblano and Cayenne (together), Salt and Pepa (together), Sophia (* - to permanent foster), and T-Bone

==========

Of course, no FURever Home Friday would be complete without some Happy Tails (um, Tales), so here are some awesome follow-up reports from some PAWS cat alumni and their families...

"These are my fur babies, Frankie and Johnny, they were adopted from PAWS, and will be 9 years old in November. They are Domestic Short Hair [although they shed like long hair kitties:)] Their favorite thing to do is talk to the birds and squirrels outside our windows (and snuggling with their Mommy)."

"Thank you PAWS for letting Itty into our family. He's such a great boy and fits right in. We were lucky he picked us."

Happy Weekend, everybody! :) 

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Kittens!

Those of you who are familiar with our blog know that we almost always feature grown up kitties. But seeing as how PAWS (like shelters all over) is currently in the middle of "kitten season," we thought we'd show you some of the babies we met this past weekend. :)

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Easy Like Selfie Sunday - Patch

Our friend Patch is handsome, sweet-natured and ready to find his forever home. He also takes a pretty awesome selfie, don't you think? 

Zzzzzzzzzz....

Have a super snoozy, easy Sunday, everybuddy.

We're taking part in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, sponsored by our pals at The Cat on My Head. Be sure to visit them to see who else has joined the fun! :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Chappy and Skipper

Brothers Chappy and Skipper are handsome gentle giants (who are on special diets at the shelter, to help them be "a little less giant," if you catch our drift). Their sweet personalities and easygoing natures have already made them favorites among the staff and volunteers at PAWS.

Chappy

Skipper

Chappy and Skipper must be adopted together. They are about 8 years old, neutered, microchipped, and current on their vaccinations. They are negative for FIV and FeLV.  If you're looking to fill your home with love, Chappy and Skipper are the purr-fect mancats for you ... they have it to give in abundance. Come meet them today!

Easy Like Selfie Sunday - Cookie and Olga

It's Sunday, and around here, that means it's time for two of our favorite fun ways to showcase the PAWS cats. First up is our entry for the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our dear pals at The Cat On My Head. This week's selfie was taken by our adoptable new, sweet-as-pie friend, Cookie. Isn't she beautiful?

Of course, Sundays are also purrfect for taking it easy. And as you can see, gentle, adorable and adoptable Olga has claimed herself an excellent easy spot on the Room 7 ESS. :)

 

Happy Sunday, everybuddy!
