Easy Like Sunday Selfie - Tilly :)

Remember our gorgeous and adoptable friend Tilly, who helped us with Friday's Nose-to-Nose Finalist post? Well, here she is again, with a post of her very own. Don't you just love how she's mixing her Sunday selfie with a little bit of Easy Like Sunday Morning action? :)
Tilly is about 2 1/2 years old, playful, and sweet as pie. She is spayed, micro-chipped, and current on her vaccinations. She's negative for FIV and FeLV. Tilly loves being pet, enjoys a good conversation, and gets along with some other cats. Come meet this floofalicious feline today!

Wow! We're Nose-to-Nose Award Finalists!


Here's our adoptable pal, Tilly, doing her best interpretation of "Shock and Honor." Which is exactly what we felt Wednesday night, when the finalists for the 2016 BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Pet Blogging and Social Media Awards were announced, and we learned that Animal Shelter Volunteer Life has been named a finalist in the "Best Cause Blog" category for the second year in a row!

In a nutshell, the Nose-to-Nose Awards are the only pet industry awards in which pet bloggers and micro-bloggers are judged on the expertise, performance, and creativity of the entry. Each of the 12 categories is judged by a distinguished panel of professionals and not by popular vote. Winners will be announced at the BlogPaws 2016 Conference June 23-25 in Phoenix, Arizona.

We're humbled to be included in any discussion of leading blogs, and with incredible bloggers (many of whom are good friends) we love and admire. Thank you to those who nominated us, to the judging panel, and to BlogPaws. We also thank all of you, dear friends, for sharing in our lives, and for your continued love and support.

Congratulations to all of the finalists, including our fellow finalists for Best Clause Blog:

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Kittens in Da House!

We're always amazed at how flat out adorable kittens are. Just look at these cutie pies, who are waiting at PAWS to be discovered by their forever families.

Good luck, sweet babies. We're pretty sure you won't have to wait very long for some lucky people to fall in love with you. :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Artemis :)

Beautiful senior ladycat Artemis has amazing eyes. But there's more to this stunning kitty than meets the eye(s).


"Artie" also happens to be a lapcat extraordinaire. In fact, it's pretty safe to say that laying in a warm human lap tops her list of favorite things. She's also extremely talkative (which makes it funny that she's appearing on "Wordless" Wednesday).

Artemis is about 13 1/2 years old. She has severe arthritis, for which she gets a monthly injection of Adequan and a daily dose of Cosequin. These help her feel better, and able to do what she does best - seek out a nice cozy lap. She would be a perfect companion for a lucky human who is home a lot (after all, home a lot = lots of lap time). Artie is spayed, micro-chipped, and current on her vaccinations. She is negative for FIV and FeLV. 

Artie wants to know ... Got lap? :)

Buddy's Sunday Selfie - Buddy

Happy May Day, everybuddy! Speaking of buddies, here's our handsome and adoptable pal, Buddy, doing his best "Most Interesting Man(cat) in the World" impression.

"I don't always pose for selfies, but when I do, all the PAWS volunteers swoon."

And check this out. Buddy also has skills when it comes to getting his easy on...

Buddy loves to chill out with his favorite volunteer pals, and is a real snuggler. This dashing and debonair dude is about 11 1/2, neutered, micro-chipped, and current on his vaccinations. He would do best in a quieter home where the cuddles are abundant, but without small children or other animals. Buddy is negative for FIV and FeLV. He's totally ready to find his happily ever after. Now he just needs a chance.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Morticia

We love our adoptable friend Morticia. This pretty girl has a fun and playful personality that makes us laugh whenever we visit.

While she's not an overly snuggly cat, she does love the company of people, and always comes to greet us at the door.


Morticia gets along fine with the other cats in the her room at PAWS. She'd do best in a quieter home without small children. Morticia is spayed, micro-chipped, and current on her vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. She's ready to find a new forever best friend. Is it you?
