(Almost) Wordless Sassy Turns a Corner

Those of you who have been reading our blog for a while may remember our sweet but shy friend Sassy. She has always enjoyed hanging out with her human pals, but has mostly done so just beyond arm's reach, chasing a laser, or playing with a wand toy. That's why we're so excited to tell you that with love, patience, play, and kindness, sweet Sassy has turned the proverbial corner. Look at how relaxed she is now!

On Saturday, we spent some good quality time with this amazing girl, and she confidently jumped up on the bench we were sitting on, and laid down right between us. She even purred happily as we gently petted her. This might sound normal for a lot of cats, but for Sassy, this was a huge and amazing leap forward. It also solidifies our conviction that Sassy will blossom in a loving and patient forever home. All she needs is a chance. Could it be with you?

 

Wallace and Casey: A 1 1/2 Selfie

About a month ago, we posted about our adorable and adoptable tuxedo pal Wallace, who has continued to blossom as he waits at PAWS to find his forever home. Just as the more outgoing cats in his room showed HIM the ropes when he arrived, Wallace has now stepped into the role of being a buddy for new arrivals. And what could be cuter than if one of those new arrivals is a mini version of Wallace? That's exactly what has happened, as you can see from these photos of Wallace and his new buddy Casey. 💖

These two mancats are about 4 months apart in age (Wallace is about 7 months; Casey is about 3 months), but have become fast friends. Both are neutered, current on their vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. They both love to play, get along well with other cats, and enjoy hanging out with their human friends. Wouldn't it be wonderful if these two pals could be adopted together? Come meet Wallace and Casey today, and fall in love!

(Almost) Wordless Brothers

If you're a fan of handsome, sweet, and gentle cats, look no further. Because we've got TWO of them to introduce to you today. Brothers Rain and River are all those things, and more!

River

River and Rain ended up at PAWS when their owner could no longer care for them. These guys were littermates, and as you can see from the first photo, they can very often be found together (and must be adopted as a pair). Both are neutered, current on their vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. They love people (snuggles, pets, and lots of purring are always on the docket when we visit!), and get along famously with the other cats in their open room. Rain and River will be the most amazing best friends to whoever is lucky enough to adopt them. Come meet them today!

Selfies by Besties Penelope and Merlin

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.

Merlin and Penelope are both about 5 years old, and it's abundantly clear they were so well-loved by their human. They are both friendly, sweet natured, and social. As you can see from the third and fourth photos, they love people and get along well with other nice kitties! Merlin is neutered, and Penelope is spayed. Both are current on their vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. They are a bonded pair, so they must be adopted together, but as we always say in such cases, that just means double the love! Merlin and Penelope are so ready to find their new forever home. Is it with you?

(Almost) Wordless Jojo

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

As gorgeous as she is, we're happy to tell you Jojo is more than just a pretty face! She also happens to be sweet, gentle, and a big fan of spending time with her human pals. She definitely likes being pet, is quite the accomplished purrer, and gets along with other nice kitties, too. Jojo is about one year old, spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. As you can see, she's all dressed in her tuxedo and ready to find her forever family. Come meet Jojo today, and fall in love!

 

Selfies by Harriet

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.

We can tell you from firsthand experience that Harriet loves being pet and getting attention from her human friends. She does get along with other nice cats, but her human buddies seem to be her favorites. She ended up at PAWS when her owner was no longer able to provide care. Three year-old Harriet is spayed, microchipped, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She is such an amazing kitty, and she is so ready to find her new happily ever after. Is it with you?

(Almost) Wordless Ukie

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.
