(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Sylvester

Our adoptable pal Sylvester is more than just a super handsome face. He's also got enough purrsonality to fill a room (and your heart)!

Sylvester is neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. He loves being pet, hanging out with his friends, and making conversation (he can be quite a talkative dude when the mood strikes). At 11 years old, he's what some humans might call "mature." But you shouldn't let his age prevent you from finding your new best friend ... Sylvester qualifies for the PAWS Senior Pension Plan, which includes: no adoption fee, an annual wellness exam, vaccinations and blood work analysis for free for the rest of his life. Sylvester is seriously awesome. Come meet him today, and fall in love! 

Dona Nobis Pacem* #blog4peace

Today, we’re taking part in “BlogBlast for Peace.” Since Mimi Lenox started it in 2006, this day of peace has grown to include thousands of bloggers in 214 countries and counting, all blogging about one thing ... PEACE.

The official Blog Blast for Peace theme this year is "Finding Peace in Overwhelming Times." In a world where tumult and discord often take center stage, there's so much to be said for finding the kind of inner peace that grows and engenders peace, love and understanding. That's why we chose to feature our gorgeous and adoptable friend, Bella, on our peace globe. For a long time, Bella wasn't sure she could trust the people or cats at PAWS. But with love and care, and her own "suite," she's become a completely different cat, one who is confident and full of the peace that comes with being happy with where she is at. She loves spending time with her favorite volunteers, enjoys being pet, and is even up for some occasional lap time when the mood strikes.

With the transformation that inner peace has brought her, Bella is supremely ready to find her own forever family. She’s still a little cautious with new people and situations, so she would do best in a quiet home with folks who will be patient as she adjusts to her new surroundings. Won’t you please consider giving Bella the home she deserves?

Wishing peace for all beings, today and every day,

Kevin, Tracey, and Gracie

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Minnie :)

Our pal Minnie is sweet, playful and ready to find her happily ever after. Just look at her awesome whiskers. Her pink nose with the little beauty mark. And those big round eyes! Is she not precious and adorable? 

Minnie is about 2 years old, spayed, micro-chipped and current on her vaccinations. She is negative for FIV and FeLV. She's still getting used to life at PAWS, and as such, is a little shy around people she doesn't know. But we can tell that this cutie will positively blossom in a forever home. All Minnie needs is a chance. Is it with you?

Aldo's Sunday Selfies

When we asked for Sunday Selfie volunteers among the PAWS cats, our stunningly handsome (and super duper friendly) pal Aldo stepped up. It's pretty safe to say he nailed it, huh?

Aldo is just one year old. He's a purebred Flamepoint Himalayan, whose owners moved and decided they could no longer keep him. Once again, this "moving without your pet" thing positively boggles our minds ... especially when the cat involved (i.e. Aldo) possesses the sweetest and most tolerant personality ever. He is confident, likes to explore his surroundings, loves people, and enjoys being pet and brushed. He's also neutered, micro-chipped, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. In a nutshell, Aldo is pretty much purrfect. Come meet him soon!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Gabby

Meet our friend, Gabby. Doesn't she have the sweetest face? Well, we can attest to the fact that she's got a super sweet personality to match.

4 1/2 year old Gabby is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. She's friendly and outgoing, and loves attention from her human buddies here at the shelter. Gabby ended up at PAWS when her former owners moved, and could no longer keep her (editor's note: we always have such a hard time understanding this, as we could never give up our pets.). She has never lived with other cats, so we're not sure how she would do in a multi-kitty household. But she's more than good with people, and would love to be your new best friend. Come meet Gabby today!💖

Mia's Sunday Selfie

This is our gentle and beautiful pal, Mia. Don't you just love her stylish whiskers, round eyes and white chin?

Sadly, Mia ended up at PAWS when her human passed away. We can only imagine how confusing it is for her to go from a safe and loving home to an unfamiliar place with other cats and strange sights, sounds and smells. 

Mia is understandably a little shy with strangers right now, but she's really starting to come out of her shell, and is becoming fast friends with the shelter volunteers and staff (she loves being pet!). She will undoubtedly flourish in a loving forever home.

Mia is about 8 years old, spayed, micro-chipped and current on her vaccinations. She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Mia would be fine in a quieter home with adults only, and would also be okay in one that includes older children. Won't you please consider giving this sweetheart her new happily ever after?

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Sassy

Have you ever seen a movie where a character's name is the opposite of what they actually are? You know, like the giant named "Tiny." Or the turtle whose name is "Speedy." That's kind of how it is with our adorable, adoptable friend Sassy. This sweet and sensitive ladycat has been waiting patiently for her forever home for quite some time, and she wants everyone to know that she's not really "sassy."

 That adjective may have been accurate when Sassy first arrived at PAWS, but who could blame her? She had been tormented by the children in her former home, so when she first came here, she wasn't sure who she could trust. Smart girl that she is, it didn't take her long to learn that her new human friends were sources of love and care (and food). And she went from a cat who was nervous about being pet to what you see above. Cute. Funny. Playful. Pet-able. And happy to hang with her peeps.

We're positive that 5 year-old Sassy will blossom in a forever family. Because of her past, she would do best in a quiet home, without rambunctious pets or small children. She gets along fine with other nice kitties, but would be just as happy as an only cat. Sassy is spayed, micro-chipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She's ready to find her new BFF. Is it you? 💖
