Best buddies Merlin and Penelope came to PAWS after their owner passed away. Despite the heartbreaking circumstances of how they found their way here, these two sweethearts are really adjusting well, and winning their way into the hearts of their feline roommates and human friends alike.

Check out our adorable and adoptable friend Jojo. Isn't she beautiful?

Our young and playful friend Harriet took a little break to show off another side of herself. As you can see, that would be her "beautiful, selfie-taking" side.
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)!
We're not actually sure how our friendly and handsome new buddy Ukie got his name. We wondered what language it came from, and of all the possibilities we found, one of the Japanese ones seemed really appropriate. As it turns out, there are multiple Japanese characters for "Ukie," and one of them means "Hope." Pretty fitting for a shelter kitty waiting for his happily ever after, isn't it?
Can you tell from these photos that Ukie is a champion purrer? Probably not, but take our word for it when we tell you that's the case! He's still a little nervous about being at PAWS, but is really coming out of his shell, and loves being pet and hanging out with his human pals. Ukie is about 2 years old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Here's HOPING his new forever family finds him very soon.
In case you're wondering which of the PAWS cats volunteered for this week's selfie, wonder no more. It's our super friendly, gentle, and beautiful friend Kiki!
Kiki is not just beautiful. As an orange female tabby cat, she also happens to be pretty rare! Did you know that only 20 percent of orange tabby cats are female? This 5 year-old came to the shelter when her owner had to move to a place that did not allow cats. Kiki is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet her today, and fall in love!

Hi everybuddy! It's me, Ava (and my mom and dad, too), wishing dads of humans, cats, and all other species a wonderful and Happy Father's Day!
My dad (meowmeowmans) isn't very keen about having his photo taken, but look at what is on the t-shirt that me and Mom Tracey got him for Father's Day! (For the record, one of my myriad nicknames is "The P.")

We had the pleasure this past weekend of meeting sisters Bugsy (she's the tabby) and Strawberry (the housepanther). They're both as sweet and gentle as they are beautiful. (And as you can see, these ladycats are plenty beautiful!)
