(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Shippan

According to the sign on his cage door, handsome tabby Shippan is friendly, active and would make a terrific family pet.

As you can see from this picture, he's also pretty snuggly. And he enjoys reading, or at least "helping" his human pals (like Tracey), with reading.

Shippan is about 5 years old, neutered, micro-chipped, and current on his vaccinations. He has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. With Fall upon us, doesn't curling up on the couch with a book and Shippan sound wonderful? He's at PAWS of Norwalk, CT. Come meet Shippan today!

N' toys, sea monster scratchers, feathers and beds for all who join us for the journey, so come along as we set sail! Me-aarrrgghh! :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Cat or Frog?

Our playful, personable pal Lincoln is handsome enough to be a prince.

But this silly prince has a funny way of relaxing that makes him look a little like a frog...

Ribbit!

Lincoln is about 2 1/2 years old. He's neutered, micro-chipped and current on his vaccinations. Lincoln loves people, playing, and catnip, and gets along with some other cats. Come meet your charming frog prince today! :)

Easy Like Selfie Sunday - Zoe & Gracie

It's Sunday, and as we often do, we're joining the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our pals, The Kitties Blue, at The Cat on My Head. Handling the selfie duties this week is our very own Gracie. She sure did a great job, didn't she?

And of course, no Sunday would be complete without some SUN, and a good old fashioned easy. Here's our other lovable housepanther (and Gracie's sister), Zoe, showing everyone how it's done. :) 

Gracie and Zoe, and their brother Moosey are all graduates of PAWS. If YOU'RE looking for a new best friend, there are still lots of awesome kitties waiting to be discovered...

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Bella!

And now, for your Wednesday enjoyment, here's our adoptable pal, Bella, whose name, very appropriately, means "beautiful" in Italian. :)

Bella is more than just a pretty face (and furs), though. She's also silly (especially on catnip!) and playful, when the mood strikes (would you believe a ballpoint pen is her favorite toy?). She's not a snuggly lap cat, but she does enjoy the company of humans she trusts. Tracey and I happen to be two of those humans, and we love hanging out with her! :)  Read more about Bella (including how to adopt her) here!

Easy Like Selfie Sunday - Miss Piggy

Our adoptable pal Miss Piggy is a queen of efficiency. Here she is, taking care of her Sunday Selfie* WHILE she's getting her easy on. Way to go, Miss P. :)

Here's hoping your Sunday is as easy as the one being enjoyed by Miss Piggy. And Happy Labor Day weekend to all of our friends and followers here in the United States!

* The Sunday Selfies Blog Hop is sponsored by our wonderful friends, The Kitties Blue, at The Cat on My Head blog. Be sure to visit to see who else is taking part in this week's selfie fun (and/or join the fun yourself!). :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Frijole

Our adorable friend Frijole was found wandering the streets, but this guy is no feral kitty. In fact, his snuggly and sweet nature makes us certain that he was somebody's cat at one point. Frijole loves laps, being pet and not having to worry about the issues that come with surviving outdoors. And just LOOK at that cute little tongue. :)

Frijole has some medical issues that are still being tended to, so he's not yet available to be adopted. UPDATE: Frijole IS available for adoption! :)  He's about 10 years old, neutered, microchipped, and current on his vaccinations.  He has tested positive for the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), but don't let that scare you off. FIV is NOT a death sentence.  In fact, many FIV-positive cats like Frijole live long, healthy and happy lives.  Won't you come meet this special guy today?
