In what is most definitely one of those classic "there are no bad cats, only not-so-good owners" moments, our beautiful friend Cooca was recently returned to PAWS for "escaping" from her home. Sigh. We suppose it's all for the best, because now this beautiful ladycat can find her real forever loving home.
We love the kitties in PAWS Cat Room 5. All of these sweet cats were very shy when they got here, but something about this particular mix of roommates (and the love and patience they have been shown by their human pals) has allowed each of them to make incredible strides.
Super handsome Apple, who used to hide whenever humans would enter the room, can now most often be found relaxing on one of the primo cat hammocks. He adores head rubs and chin scritches.

Sweet and beautiful Arizona was pretty nervous when she first arrived, too. Now, she comes out to greet those lucky enough to visit.

Arizona really enjoys being pet, and adores other kitties -- especially her BFF, Fang.

Fang came to PAWS with his brothers Draco and Phantom. They were terrified and overwhelmed when they arrived, and could always be found huddled together for security. None of them would dare make eye contact, so selfies were most definitely out of the question. Look how far they've come (and yes, they all enjoy being pet now, too)!

Check out our beautiful, sweet, and incredibly lovable friend Cheetah. We're not kidding when we tell you she is adored by pretty much everyone at PAWS. Yes, she's that wonderful. 💖
Cheetah, who is about 7 years old, ended up at PAWS when her owner became homeless. Her former human did her best to keep Cheetah safe, but eventually felt it best to give her to friends to care for her. Sadly, they let Cheetah's health deteriorate. The silver lining, we suppose, is that she ended up here, where she has received the love and care she needed. Throughout it all, Cheetah has been the same lovable and loving kitty. And now she's now ready to find her real forever home! She gets along well with other cats, and as we mentioned previously, adores her human pals. She's spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. To know her is to love her, so come meet Cheetah today!
With 2022 just about done, it's probably safe to say most of us are raring to get going with a new and shiny year. But before we get going, here's a little bit of happy to close out what's been for so many a very tough year. If you guessed we're going to share about a bunch of PAWS cats getting adopted, you pretty much nailed it. In fact, we're happy to share that some 500 cats and kittens graduated from PAWS in 2022. A whopping 45 of those adoptions (some of whom are in the collage below) happened in December alone!
