Herman's Selfies

Check out our sweet, lovable, and handsome friend Herman. As you can see, this gentle dude knows his stuff when it comes to posing for the camera!

7 year-old Herman was found abandoned in a college dormitory that was closed for the school year. The air conditioning in the building had been shut off, and all poor Herman had was a big bowl of poor-quality food and no water. It's a horrible story, but we are glad this gentle dude is now safe and loved at PAWS. We can say from first-hand experience that he adores hanging out with his human pals, and gets along with other nice kitties! Herman is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He's so ready to find his happily ever after. Is it with you?

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 Phoebe

Check out our sweet, pretty, and silly friend Phoebe! This recent mama to four adorable kittens is now spayed and ready to find her loving forever home.

Phoebe is about 1 1/2 years old, and although she has lived in a home with dogs and other cats, she would definitely prefer to be your one and only furry best friend. In case that gives you pause, she made us promise to tell you that she has more than enough love for whoever is lucky enough to choose her. We can attest to this fact ... she adores her human pals! Phoebe is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet her today, and fall in love!

Selfies by Dakota

This handsome fellow is our new buddy Dakota. As you can see, he's highly skilled when it comes to posing for the camera. Dakota's selfie photos also show off his wonderful personality -- he's super friendly, confident, and curious!

Dakota is only about 10 months old. He adores his human friends, and loves to play. He has a lot of energy, and would do best in a home with a kitty companion or a human who will play with him lots. Dakota is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Looking for love and fun in your life? Come meet Dakota today!

Black Cat Appreciation Day with Kosmo

Today, August 17, is Black Cat Appreciation Day! Some of you may be asking yourselves, "why do black cats even need a special day?" Sadly, the myths and superstitions about black cats being unlucky or "bad" persist for many people. As a result, black kitties are only half as likely to be adopted as cats of other colors. And even black cats fortunate enough to end up in no-kill rescues -- like our new friend Kosmo (isn't she beautiful?) -- wait several months longer to find their forever homes than their other-colored counterparts.

So many people are really missing out, because there are so many beautiful black kitties like Kosmo  (and our own sweet Ava, and Angels Gracie and Zoe) who are lucky, sweet, lovable, and full of personality! Come and meet 4 year-old Kosmo at PAWS today. You might just find your new best friend!

Selfies by Super Adoptable Tortellini

Check out our adorable, gentle, and super handsome friend Tortellini. He's been waiting for a while to find his forever home, and quite frankly we're left scratching our heads wondering why that is. All we can think is that he is slightly shy when it comes to people he doesn't know, staying at arm's length until he feels safe.

 

 

We wish potential adopters had the time to sit with him for more than just a few minutes. They would see what we do: Tortellini will be the most amazing best friend for whoever is lucky enough to adopt him!

 

Tortellini is about 1 1/2 years old, and came to us with his mama and siblings when their human family was no longer able to care for them. We don't know the exact circumstances of why they could not stay in their former home, but their sweet personalities and good health lead us to believe they were all very well-loved. Tortellini's siblings have already been adopted, and now it's this good boy's turn to find his new forever family. He is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. He really enjoys being pet and getting quiet attention from his human pals. He also gets along famously with other kitties, and would be a great addition to almost any home. Come meet Tortellini today!

(Almost) Wordless Twinkie

Those of you who saw Sunday's kitten post might remember Zinger, Honey Bun, Yankee Doodle, and Snowball. If you happened to ask yourself what the mama of those little cuties looks like, wonder no more, because today we present you with (the kittens' mama) Twinkie! 💖

At only about one year old, Twinkie is pretty close to being a kitten herself. But after giving birth to her beautiful babies, this former stray is now spayed, current on her vaccinations, negative for FIV and FeLV, and ready to find a forever loving home where SHE can be the baby. Twinkie is a super sweet girl who loves being pet, snuggling, and spending time with her human pals. To know her is to love her, so come get to know Twinkie today!

Kittens Taking Selfies!

As we've heard is true in so many other areas around the country, kitten season here has been crazy this year. It's as though there's been a cornucopia of kittens coming through PAWS, with little sign of stopping. That said, some of the adorable babies at the shelter wanted to get in on this week's selfie action, and well, who were we to refuse? And for what it's worth, these little ones absolutely rocked their selfies!

Mittens and Ginger

Yankee Doodle and Snowball

Now that they've been fostered for a while, these little ones are back at the shelter, getting ready to be discovered by their forever loving families. They'll all be spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and tested prior to adoption. Meanwhile, they'll keep working on being cute (not that they have much to learn)!
