(Almost) Wordless Zelda

What does a lapcat look like? If you guessed that she might look like our gorgeous new friend Zelda, you’d be 100% right. 😻 This sweet girl is a tabico -- an amazing combination of tabby and calico markings -- with some white fur mixed in for extra charm. She’s got a beautiful tabby mask, unique splashes of color, and the cutest polydactyl paws you’ll ever see!

Zelda came to PAWS after being found as a friendly stray, and we can tell you from firsthand experience: she is incredibly sweet. Her most favorite thing is curling up on the laps of her human pals, soaking up snuggles and gentle petting. She’s still new to the shelter, but so far she seems just fine around other kitties. 

At about one year old, Zelda has her whole happy future ahead of her. She’s already spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccinations, and just waiting for her forever family to come find her. Could it be yours?

Come meet Zelda the lovely lapcat today! 💖

 

Cute Kitten Selfies!

It’s still summer, which means it’s still kitten season. On the plus side, we do get to meet some extra-special, extra adorable short-term PAWS residents like Alfred, Selina, and Bruce — better known as The Bat Crew!

 

These three 12-week-old siblings came to PAWS via one of the local municipal animal controls with no mom in sight. Luckily, one of our incredible fosters swooped in to raise them, and now these babies are ready to show the world their super sweet, extremely playful, and wonderfully friendly selves.

 

Selina

Alfred

Bruce

Alfred, Selina, and Bruce are spayed/neutered, up to date on their age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to find their forever homes. Since all kittens at PAWS must be adopted with another kitten, maybe this crime-fighting crew could head off to one lucky family together? Come meet The Bat Crew today! 🐾

We're participating today in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, hosted by our wonderful friends at The Cat on My Head. Be sure to check out who's hopping along and/or join in on the fun!

(Almost) Wordless Steinway

Our handsome and adoptable friend Steinway is such a sweetheart. Can you tell from these photos that he’s the bestest dude ever? We hope so, because he really and truly is.

 

 

Steinway is about 3 years old and already knows how to win hearts everywhere he goes. This curious boy loves chasing his favorite butterfly toy, watching Bird TV, and snuggling with his human pals. He’s even been known to play fetch when he's in the mood!

 

 

Steinway is a go-with-the-flow kitty -- happy to lounge near you while you work during the day, ready to show off his playful, silly side, and down to chill when it’s time to relax together after hours.

 

 

This affectionate mancat gets along well with other nice cats, is neutered, and is in great health. Steinway came to PAWS with some medical needs, his latest bloodwork is excellent -- he’s healthy, thriving, and ready for his happily ever after. All that’s missing now is his forever person. Could that be you? 🐾

 

Like our beloved Target, Steinway has tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), 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.

Selfies by Miss Kish

Check out our beautiful pal Kish! This lovely lady housepanther is as sweet and gentle as they come. She adores people, loves scritches under the chin, and when the mood strikes, she’s an unabashed lap cat with a nice, loud purr that will melt your heart.

 

Kish is about 2 ½ years old. She was first discovered as a friendly stray and brought into a home with another cat -- but Kish made it clear she’d much prefer the spotlight all to herself. She’s currently sharing space with some older kittens and doing pretty well, but we can tell she’d really shine as the one and only kitty in her forever home.

 

Kish is spayed, current on vaccinations, and ready to meet the lucky human who gets to be her BFF. With a sweet, gentle cat like Kish, who needs anyone else? Come meet her at PAWS today, and fall in love!

(Almost) Wordless Samoa

Check out our sweet, beautiful, and adoptable friend Samoa. With her soft colors and gentle expression, she turns heads and wins hearts wherever she goes. And she’s ready to bring a whole lot of love and joy into her new forever home.

 

Samoa, who is just one year old, came to PAWS as a 7-month-old kitten with her two siblings. They had been living outdoors and were being cared for by a kind family, who wanted to make sure the trio had the chance for safe, happy lives. When the shelter care team first picked her up, they quickly realized this young beauty was expecting kittens. She went into foster care, where she had five stunning little ones. She was a wonderful mom, and now that all of her babies have been adopted, it’s her turn to be someone’s beloved forever girl.

 

 

This gentle dilute calico loves people and gets along well with other nice cats -- especially her sweet roommate Cupcake. Wouldn't it be nice if they could be adopted together?

Samoa is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and read to find her happily ever after. Could that be with you?

Selfies by Croissant

Look who raised his paw to volunteer for this week's selfie. It's none other than our handsome and super duper snuggly new friend Croissant!

We're not joking about the part about "super duper snuggly," either. If he could, we're pretty certain Croissant would still be curled up in my lap right now. We were, in fact, lucky to get the two photos above ... he popped up immediately after this and claimed my lap as soon as I sat down.

Because Croissant is very new at PAWS, so we're still getting to know him. It's clear he adores people, and so far, he seems to be okay with the other cats in his room. If you're looking for love, this amazing and affectionate boy just may be the kitty for you. Come meet Croissant today!

(Almost) Wordless Ferdinand

Say hello to our big, beautiful buddy Ferdinand. This handsome boy has been through quite a journey, but you’d never know it by looking at him now!

 

 

Originally found wandering the streets, Ferdinand proved himself to be a true survivor. Back in November 2024, he was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) and immediately began antiviral treatment. Three months of treatment plus another three months of observation later, we got the best news ever… Ferdinand beat FIP!

 

Now fully cured and feeling fantastic, Ferdinand is ready to trade in his street-cat past for a loving forever home. He’s one year old, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and rocking the most gorgeous tabby tuxedo you’ll want to snuggle up to every day.

 

This gentle giant loves people and gets along well with other nice cats, making him the perfect addition to many kinds of homes. Ferdinand has survived a lot, but what he’s really waiting for now is someone to love him for life. Could that be you? Come meet him at PAWS today!

Like our beloved Target, Ferdinand has tested positive for FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), 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.
