(Almost) Wordless Jasper

In our last post, you met our sweet pal Moo Stach. Well, today, we'd like to introduce you to her current roommate. Without further ado, here's beautiful, gentle, and oh-so-sweet Jasper. Isn't she adorable?

Jasper, who is about two years old, came to PAWS after her humans got divorced, and neither wanted to keep this sweet girl. Their loss, we say! This amazing kitty deserves so much better. Despite the lack of love and attention at her former home, Jasper is a snuggly and delightfully happy kitty. She gets along with other nice cats, but would also be fine as your one and only kitty, if that's how you roll. She just wants to love and be loved. Sound good? Come meet Jasper today!

 

 

Selfies by Moo Stach

It's Springtime, and love is in the air. Want proof? Just take a look at our beautiful and adoptable friend Moo Stach. As you can see from her photos, this sweet and snuggly ladycat is all about the love!

Moo Stach, who is about 10 years old, came to PAWS when her humans moved, but were not able to take her with them. While that's not something we would ever even consider doing, we are glad Miss Moo is safe and adored here while she waits to find her real forever family. As mentioned, she is such a sweet kitty and loves people. Moo Stach gets along with other nice cats, and is known to have lived with a dog. Like we said, she's all about the love! She is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. To meet her is to love her, so come meet Moo Stach 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 Beau

Our handsome and adoptable friend Beau is one of those cats who just exudes calm and peace. Just look at these photos of him. Maybe his nickname should be "Zen?"

 

Actually, the fact that 4 year old Beau is so delightfully calm and outgoing is a true testament to his nature. His backstory is simply horrible - he was tossed from a moving car and suffered fractures to his jaw and ribs. He ran into a wooded area, and it took some kindhearted (and persistent) rescuers months to catch him, but we are glad they did, and that he wound up at PAWS. After a year of recuperation, he is all healed up, and ready to find his happily ever after. Through it all, his shining, sweet, and gentle personality is still what defines him. Beau also happens to get along with other nice cats and has lived with dogs.

 

Beau is neutered and current on his vaccinations. While he has tested positive for FIV, 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.

Come meet Beau today, and fall in love!

Selfies by Zoey

This week's contestant on "Which shelter cat raised its paw to take this week's selfie?" is our sweet, gentle and beautiful friend Zoey. As you can see, this kitty definitely knows a thing or two about posing for the camera!

Zoey found her way to PAWS after being picked up as a very friendly stray. When she arrived, she had a bad eye infection, but as you can see from her photos, it's been treated and she is all better now. Zoey is about 7 months old, spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She's a super gentle girl who would do best in a quiet home. She loves her volunteer human friends, and gets along well with other nice cats. Zoey is ready to find her happily ever after. Could it be with you?

(Almost) Wordless Nevada

Looking for a new best friend? Well, this might just be your lucky day, because so is our handsome and gentle buddy, Nevada!

Nevada is a friendly and super snuggly dude who loves his human pals at PAWS. He also gets along well with other nice cats. Nevada is about two years old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He's an amazingly good boy, and is so ready to find his new forever best friend. Come meet Nevada (aka your new BFF) today!

 

Lovely Lily's Selfie

Check out our sweet and beautiful friend Lily. We were so happy when she raised her paw to take this week's selfie, because ... just look! She did such an amazing job of posing so that everyone can see her gentle and loving personality shining through. You see it, right?

At 10 years young, Lily is what would be called a "senior" kitty, but she wants you to know she's still got lots of living and loving left to do. We were, in fact, a little surprised to find out she was 10! She's active, super friendly, and really gentle. Lily ended up at PAWS when her owner was hospitalized. It's certainly sad, but we are glad she is here to be loved and cared for while she looks for a new forever home. Lily is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She adores people, and gets along well with other nice cats. Lily is such a wonderful kitty. All she needs now is a new best friend. Could it be you?

(Almost) Wordless Twix / 1,400 Posts

Even though she's only about one year old, our gentle and adoptable friend Twix has already been a mama.  Her kittens have all been adopted, and now this beautiful sweetheart is ready to be the baby in her forever loving home. Isn't she lovely?

Twix is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She is slightly shy, but warms up quickly with her volunteer pals at PAWS. She has also lived with children and other cats, and did really well. Twix is so ready. She just needs a chance. Could it be with you?

 

On another, related, note, this is our 1,400th post! Tracey started ASVL back in December 2008, and since then, we've befriended close to 7,000 kitties who have come through PAWS. We've shared about more than 1,200 of them on ASVL. We still get such joy and satisfaction from helping these amazing and adoptable cats find their happily ever afters, and it's a privilege to share them with all of you. Thank you for sharing in our journey! We are supremely grateful for your friendship and encouragement, and for the strength and joy you give us.
