Sylvia's Selfie

Anyone who visits PAWS Cat Room 5 is sure to be welcomed by our beautiful and adoptable friend Sylvia. She adores people, and has quickly become the official greeter in this open (cageless) room! One thing about cats who run to greet you is that it can be a real challenge to get them to sit still for a proper portrait. Imagine our surprise when Sylvia volunteered for this week's selfie! We think you'll agree she did an amazing job.

Sylvia, who is about 5 years old, came to PAWS after her human passed away. This sweet and playful girl has adjusted pretty well to being at the shelter, but she is definitely ready to find her new forever home. While she tolerates other nice cats, Sylvia would probably be happiest as an only kitty. She is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Come meet Sylvia today, and fall in love!

 

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 Amelia

Don't you just love our beautiful and adoptable friend Amelia? As you can see from these photos, she has the cutest face. She also happens to have an adorable personality to match!

We always enjoy spending time with this wonderful kitty, and she always does something to bring a smile to our faces. See that third photo, of Amelia in the scratcher box? She finally settled on that one after trying three other boxes around the room in a five-minute span. It was like watching "Goldilocks & the 3 Bears" on fast forward. MOL!

Amelia, who is about 2 1/2 years old, is incredibly sweet and super social. When she first arrived at PAWS, she had a very bad urinary tract infection, but with medical care and a special diet she is doing much better, and is on the way a full recovery. Amelia is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. She is so ready to be adopted with her meds and special food, and just needs a chance. Amelia is sure to fill her forever home love and laughter. Could it be with you?

Sibling Selfies: Quija and Addy

Look at our adorable new friends Quija and Addy. As you can see, this brother and sister really know how to play to the camera!

 Quija and Addy came to PAWS after their long time foster had to leave the state, and the original rescue no longer had room for them. They are both super sweet and affectionate, get along with other cats, and adore their human pals. Quija is neutered, Addy is spayed, and both are up to date on their vaccinations and negative for FIV and FeLV. These cuties, who are about 8 months old, are definitely ready to find their new forever home! Could it be with you?

(Almost) Wordess Cooca

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.

 

Cooca is about 5 years old. She's an indoor only cat with no history of being outside, and will do best in a home with humans that will ensure she stays inside at all times. Cooca likes her human pals at the shelter, and gets along well with other nice kitties. She's spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. Now all she needs is to find her happily ever after. Is it with you?

Roommate Selfies

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

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

Fang and Arizona

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)!

It's beautiful to see these sweet and gentle felines blossom with love, care, and friendship, and we know they will continue to do so in loving and patient forever homes. Until they find them, we are so grateful they are in a place where they know that they are safe and loved.

(Almost) Wordless Cheetah

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!

Happy Mew Year!

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.
