(Almost) Wordless - Ava's Happy Tail

One of our favorite things is hearing "happy tails" from forever families about the love they share with the furry family members they adopted from the shelter. The joy and love evident in those updates are magical. And we understand completely, since we have our very own happily ever after with our sweet PAWS graduate Ava. She melts our hearts and makes us laugh each and every day.

We love you, Ava. Thank you for adopting us! 

 

 

Bobby's Super Selfie

This is our new friend Bobby. As you can see, this super handsome mancat definitely knows his way around a selfie! What you might not see is that Bobby also happens to be a really nice guy. Just before these shots were taken, he was rolling around on the floor and hamming it up for pets and attention from his human buddies.💖

Bobby is about 1 1/2 years old. He arrived at PAWS not even a week ago, so he's still getting used to the unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells of the shelter. He's definitely getting there, though, and we know he'll do well in a forever loving home. He'll definitely be loved and cared for here until he finds it. Come meet Bobby today!

 

It's Sunday, which means we're hopping along in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our pals at The Cat On My Head. Be sure to check it out to see who else is hopping along (or to join in on the fun)!

(Almost) Wordless Bellana

Check out beautiful and whiskery Bellana, who is another one of our awesome and adoptable new pals. Can you tell from her photos how friendly she is, and how much she loves her human buddies?

In the third photo, this pretty ladycat was definitely willing me to put the camera down to give her some attention. We are happy to report that Bellana and her roommates did, in fact, get lots of attention (and catnip!) from both Tracey and me. Bellana, who is just about two years old, is spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. As mentioned, she adores her human friends. She also gets along well with other nice kitties. Bellana is just about purrfect, and purrfectly ready to find her loving forever home. Is it with you?

 

Selfies with Skeeter

Even though we've just met Skeeter, we can already tell you that he is a super sweet, gentle, and friendly cat. Oh, and handsome. Let's not forget handsome!

Skeeter, who is about 3 years old, came to PAWS after being found as a stray. He's such an amazing cat, and we are glad he is safe and loved here as he waits to be discovered by his forever family. Skeeter is neutered, microchipped, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He loves people, adores being pet, and gets along well with other nice kitties. He's kind of purrfect, actually! Come meet Skeeter today, and see for yourself. 💖

(Almost) Wordless Casey

Question: What do you get when you combine a playful and friendly nature, and a heaping helping of cuteness? Answer: You get our awesome and adoptable friend Casey! 💖

Casey came to PAWS from a big hoarding situation where he did not get enough socializing. Despite this, he is a sweet and friendly boy, who with love and patience from his human friends at the shelter is gaining in confidence and trust. We know he'll blossom in a loving forever home. He also happens to get along famously with other nice cats, and would be a great companion for another kitty! 9 month-old Casey is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He's ready to find his new best friend. Is it you?

 

Mojo's Selfie and Easy

This strikingly handsome dude is our new friend Mojo. As you can see, he definitely knows how to work the camera. He's also adept at relaxing, when the mood strikes.

3 1/2 year-old Mojo ended up at PAWS after being found as a stray. He was surely someone's kitty, because this gentle mancat loves being pet and snuggled by his human pals. He has so much love to give to the special person who decides to adopt him. Mojo is neutered, microchipped, and current on his vaccinations.

Mojo has tested positive for FIV, but it's important to remember this does not mean he can't live a long and happy life! According to Best Friends Animal Society, "FIV-positive cats can live normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. But if they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets." FIV cannot be passed to other cats through casual contact, or by sharing food, water, or a litter box. Nor can it be passed to people or other pet species. He is also positive for heartworm, for which there is no treatment. Periodic chest x-rays are recommended for monitoring, as well as applying Revolution on a monthly basis.

Despite the fact that he's got some strikes against him, Mojo is a happy-go-lucky guy who just needs a chance. All he wants is love (Okay, and maybe some snacks. And some catnip. And maybe a lap.). Come meet Mojo today, and fall in love!
