Easy Like Sunday Selfie - Merceline :)

Do you remember our sweet and gentle friend, Merceline? She's gained so much confidence over the past month, and stepped right up when we asked for volunteers for this week's selfies.

Here's Mercy's combination selfie/Easy Like Sunday

A more serious-type selfie

Settling in for a nice "Easy Like Sunday"

Merceline is about 7 years-old, spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She gets along well with other nice cats. She has the sweetest meow, loves being pet and cuddled. Now all she needs is a new best friend. Is it you?

We're taking part in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our wonderful friends at The Cat On My Head. Be sure to stop by to see who else is hopping along, or to join in on the fun! :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Sniffles

This cutie pie is our new friend, Sniffles. As you can see, he's got the over-the-shoulder head tilt thing down to an art. :)

 

Sniffles is pretty new at PAWS, but he's already shown himself to be a super sweet dude. He's very calm, and really enjoys being pet and snuggled. :)

Sniffles is 13 years old, neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. He's got lots more living to do, and would be a great best friend to whoever is lucky enough to adopt him. Sniffles also qualifies for the PAWS Pension Plan, which features no fee adoptions for cats 12 years and older, with the following included at no cost for the life of the cat: a yearly exam and senior blood workup analysis, and vaccinations as recommended by the PAWS vet. Come meet Sniffles today, and fall in love!

Tramper's Sunday Selfie :)

Here's our sweet and extremely gentle friend, Tramper, with this week's Sunday Selfie. This guy can be a little bashful at first, but has really come a long way in the time he's been at PAWS. He gets along well with other nice kitties, loves catnip, adores being brushed, and enjoys hanging out with his favorite human volunteer pals.

We know that 5 year-old Tramper's confidence will blossom in a quiet, loving home. He is neutered, micro-chipped, and current on his vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. He's a wonderful, loving cat. Now all he needs is someone to give him the happily ever after he wants and deserves. Come meet Tramper today!

Dona Nobis Pacem #blog4peace

As we do every November 4th, we’re taking part today in “BlogBlast for Peace.” Since Mimi Lenox started it in 2006, this day of peace and unity has grown to include thousands of bloggers in 214 countries, on every continent, all blogging about the same thing ... PEACE.

Our peace globe for 2016 features our adorable and adoptable friend, Morticia. She's such a friendly, good-natured kitty, and we're not really sure why she's been at PAWS for so long. Fortunately, the waiting never seems to get Morticia down. Humanity could learn so much from this little cat. Day in and day out, her sunny personality shines through. She's happy and at peace, something we believe is due in large part to the love she receives here. Peace, love and happiness ... that's quite the winning formula, huh? :)

Just look at Morticia's face. And that black chin that gives her a perpetual smile. She's ready to bring her message of peace and love to her very own forever family. Is it yours?

Wishing peace for all beings, today and every day,

Kevin, Tracey, Gracie and Zoe

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Naomi

As you can see, our buddy Naomi is as cute as a button cuter than any old button could ever hope to be. :)

This pretty girl isn't really what we'd call a "people" cat (i.e. she likes hanging around us humans, but is still pretty timid, and she's not so sure she's down with being pet), but she LOVES other kitties. Oh, and catnip and playing, too.

Maybe your kitty needs a new best friend?

Naomi is about 5 1/2 years old, spayed, micro-chipped and current on her vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. She gets along extremely well with other nice kitties, and would be a great addition to a home that's already owned by cats. Come meet Naomi at PAWS soon!

Meow-loween Selfies - Gracie and Zoe :)

Happy Meow-loween, from our own sweet little PAWS alumni, Gracie (the Snorlax) and Zoe (Hello Kitty); the kitties still waiting at PAWS for their forever homes; and all of us here at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life!

And speaking of Halloween, check out the awesome pumpkins that Nellie and her Mommy carved for us! Aren't they beautiful? They're part of a giant pumpkin patch over at Nellie's blog - you should take a look! Big hugs and thank you headbonks, Nellie and Mom Barb. You're the bestest! :)

We're taking part in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our wonderful buddies at The Cat On My Head. We bet there are lots of other Halloween-y selfies today, so be sure to visit to see who else is hopping (and join in the fun, if you'd like)!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Nashibee :)

This is our new friend, Nashibee. Just in case you're wondering, she really is as sweet an beautiful as she looks in these pictures. :)

She's also fun and a little silly, when the mood strikes. 

And a snuggly lapcat extraordinaire. 

Nashibee came to PAWS after she was found abandoned in an apartment. Why someone would just abandon such an amazing cat is beyond us. She's gentle, friendly and happy ... and purrfect! Nashibee is about 5 years old, spayed, micro-chipped, and current on her vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Winter is fast approaching. Don't YOU need a loving kitty like Nashibee to keep your spirits (and lap) warm?
