(Almost) Wordless Parrot

Our buddy Parrot is straight up adorable. His i.d. card says that he likes to sit on people's shoulders and heads. As you can see from these photos, this sweet boy also happens to be an accomplished lapcat!

If you think Parrot looks like love personified, you'd be right. He gets along famously with everyone -- humans, cats, and even dogs! He's about one year old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home.

Parrot has tested positive for FIV, but it's important to remember this does not mean he can't live a long and happy life! According to Best Friends Animal Society, "FIV-positive cats can live normal lives, both in quality and duration. They just need to be monitored for infections and dental issues. But if they’re well cared for, they can be healthy, happy, wonderful pets." FIV cannot be passed to other cats through casual contact, or by sharing food, water, or a litter box. Nor can it be passed to people or other pet species.

Come and meet your new best friend Parrot today, and fall in love!

Selfies by Bubbles

Our adoptable friend Bubbles has the sweetest face ... and a purrsonality to match. Here, see for yourself!

This beautiful, gentle and friendly kitty was found wandering around outside of a local daycare center. It's clear she formerly had a home, as she was already spayed and trusting of humans. We don't know how she ended up abandoned, but we are thankful she's safe and loved at PAWS while she waits to find her real happily ever after. Bubbles is about three years old, spayed, and current on her vaccinations. She loves people of all ages and gets along with other nice cats. Come meet her today, and fall in love!

(Almost) Wordless Kitten Bros

If you were barely able to stand the adorable and adoptable sibling kittens in our last post, hold on to your seats. Because while we were hanging out with Snickerdoodle and Whoopie Pie, we were also hanging out with their roommates SpongeBob and Squidward. It's true! Can you imagine all four of these cutie pies romping about between snuggles?

Squidward

3 month-old brothers SpongeBob and Squidward are extremely bonded, so they must be adopted together. The way we see it, though, that means some lucky adopter is going to get a huge double dose of love and happiness for life! SpongeBob and Squidward are sweet, gentle, and playful. They enjoy hanging out with their human buddies, and get along well with other kitties, too. They are neutered, current on their vaccinations and ready to be discovered by their new forever family. Come meet SpongeBob and Squidward today, and fall in love!

Super Cute Sibling Selfies

Look who raised their cute little paws when we asked for volunteers for this week's selfies. It's Snickerdoodle and Whoopie Pie! After hanging out with them this weekend, we can tell you these bonded sibings are as sweet and wonderful as their namesake treats. 💖

Snickerdoodle

Housepanther ladycat Snickerdoodle and her tabby brother Whoopie Pie are about 3 months old. As you might expect, that means they have some serious kitten energy and they love to play! But they are not one-dimensional kittens by any means; these sweeties also love snuggles when the mood strikes (as it did while we were hanging out with them ... so cute). They love people and get along fine with other kitties, too.

These siblings are a bonded pair, so they must be adopted together, but as we always say in such cases, that just means double the love! Snickerdoodle is spayed and Whoopie Pie is neutered, and they are both current on their vaccinations. They're so ready to find their new forever home. Is it with you?

(Almost) Wordless Merry

If you thought all that merriment stuff is old news now that the holidays are over, you would be wrong. Because today's amazing and adoptable PAWS cat is none other than our friend Merry!

We hung out with this sweetheart over the weekend, and we can tell you that she's even cuter in purrson than in these photos. Merry is about 11 months old, super friendly, and outgoing. She also happens to be good with other kitties, children, and dogs. And she's spayed, current on her vaccinations, and negative for FIV and FeLV. So, what do you say? If you're looking for a lifetime of merriment, come meet Merry today!

Ava's New Year Selfie / Year in Review

 

Happy MEW Year! With another year coming to a close, it’s a time for hoping and dreaming of good things to come. That will most certainly be the case for a whole bunch of (now former) PAWS kitties (well over 400 with one day of adoptions still remaining) who found their happily ever afters this year. Those of you who've been here before probably recognize some of the faces in this collage of just some of our friends who will be ringing in 2024 with their forever families!

And what would a year-in-review be without us sharing a few happy tails from some 2023 graduates?

 

 

Jolene (now known as Gracie) went home (by train from CT to NYC) because not only was her person very sad after one of her cats passed on, but so was her other cat, Carson. Carson loves his person, but she concluded that there is no substitute for fish breath and a warm furry coat, so she brought Gracie home to help fill the void. At first, Gracie lived under the bed and Carson watched her from the doorway. He gradually moved closer and closer and eventually Gracie came out and about. She began wrapping her tail around him, rubbing up against him and touching noses. Carson returned her affection and soon began settling in to sleep next to her. Now they chase each other, play with toys and just like being together. Gracie’s spot under the bed has been abandoned and her sweet being and presence is moving them forward as a new family.

Known as Snacks now, Watermelon has been home for three months and getting sweeter and sweeter every day. He talks to his person throughout the day with tiny beeps, chirps, and trills, loves his toys and seems very content. He likes to sleep under the covers and enjoys snuggling into his person whether she’s resting in bed or on the couch. He is fascinated watching his person work, follows the pointer on her screen and flops onto her laptop at least once a day! He also loves watching nature shows and will stare at the otters, penguins, and herds of buffalo for hours! He’s the best little boy and will continue to be spoiled forever.

 

Goldie (now know as Acie) is a very affectionate little girl. All she wants is a smushy lap or a shoulder on which to cuddle. Playtime is good, but cuddling is paramount! Acie is such a darling that her main man doesn’t want to go to work. He just wants to rub her tummy! And when they went on a vacation last month, they thought about Acie longingly several times a day! She’s their love and they are eternally grateful for the care she got at PAWS!

Twizzy’s new family has a Seinfeld theme going in their house, so they renamed her to Marble, as in marble rye! Her new big brother Newman likes having her around. Marble likes being as high up as possible, but also comes down to be a love! Marble is great with visitors to the house and has helped bring Newman out of his shell. She’s getting accustomed to the family routines and Newman has shown her the ropes. In return, she has taught Newman about those high places he never thought about before! The family says that Marble is the fastest cat they have ever known and a great little cat!

Hei-Hei and Khleo have settled in nicely, but they’re still fresh with the dog and get into trouble (especially Hei-Hei). Khleo loves to sleep between his people and nudge them for affection. They’re very bonded, do everything together and butt heads to greet each other. They love to wrestle and their people take bets on who will win! They are loved so much!

Congratulations to all of the graduates and their forever families! We wish all of them, and all of YOU, a new year (and many, many more to come) filled with happiness, good health, and love.

HAPPY MEW YEAR!

(Almost) Wordless Frank Sinatra

Just to set the record straight, today's  post isn't about "Ol' Blue Eyes." While our adoptable pal Frank Sinatra was almost certainly named after the crooner of the same name (and eye color), at just two years old, maybe his nickname should be "Young Blue Eyes."

When this super friendly dude showed up in a community cat colony, it quickly became evident that he was not feral. In fact, he was so people-focused that it was clear he had previously been someone's pet. Now, Frank Sinatra is at PAWS, where he's waiting to be the superstar of some lucky family's home. Frank likes hanging out with his human buddies and gets along with other nice cats. He's neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to be discovered. Come meet him today, and fall in love!
