Selfies by Declan

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 04:55:39 +0200

Handsome alert! Handsome alert! This is our awesome and adoptable pal Declan, who as you can see is one seriously good-looking mancat.

He also has the most sweet and snuggly personality! Declan is a genuine lapcat who loves being pet and even having his tummy rubbed.

Because he's so trusting of humans, we have little doubt this super friendly dude was someone's kitty at one time. Declan absolutely adores people and gets along well with other nice cats, too, so he'd be a perfect addition to almost any family. He's about two years old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find his true forever home. come meet Declan at PAWS today, and fall in love!

Like our beloved Target, Declan 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.

(Almost) Wordless Alexandra

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 03:08:38 +0200

This is our beautiful and adoptable new friend Alexandra. Don't you just love her big, bright eyes, round face, and fabulous whiskers?

This adorable one-year-old finds herself at PAWS after her good-for-nothing former humans tossed her and her brother outside to fend for themselves. Her brother was caught almost immediately, but poor Alexandra was so scared and skittish that it took rescuers three weeks to trap her. We're thankful she's here now, safe and loved, while she waits to be discovered by her true forever family.

Despite all she's been through, Alexandra still loves people. She's not too sure about other cats, though! Alexandra would probably be happiest in a home where she is your one and only kitty. She's spayed, current on her vaccinations, and ready to be adopted. Come meet Alexandra today and fall in love!

Sammy came to PAWS from a home that had way too many cats. He's a happy-go-lucky, palyful, and confident boy who loves his human buddies and gets along well with other nice kitties. Sammy is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find his loving forever family. Could it be yours?

Selfies by Bonita

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 04:50:08 +0200

We think our sweet and beautiful friend Bonita looks a lot like the main character in the Oscar-winning movie "Flow" in this photo. Do you see the resemblance?

While she may not actually be the cat in that movie, we can tell you that Bonita is an honest-to-goodness superstar. She's affectionate and gentle, and was this year's runaway winner in the "Best Momma to Seven Adorable Kittens" category. Yes, this tiny little ladycat birthed seven little housepanthers (who like their momma are sweet as pie and waiting to find their happily ever afters)!

Bonita, who is about 3 years old, was found alone and very pregnant on a cold and rainy Thanksgiving Day. She went straight into a foster home and gave birth to the septet of perfect little panthers you see above. She is now spayed, current on her vaccinations, and ready to find a forever home where she can be the cherished and adored baby of the family. Come meet Bonita at PAWS today, and fall in love!

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:59:16 +0200

Check out our cute and adoptable pal Jasper! He may be a little small for his age, but anyone who's seen him play can tell you he's got a big and mighty purrsonality!

Jasper can be a bit cautious with new people, but is very affectionate once he gets to know you. We know he'll do super well in a loving home with active kitty who's just a little bit older (you know, to kind of show him the ropes). Jasper is about 6 months old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home. Could it be yours? Come meet Jasper at PAWS today.

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 04:19:29 +0200

This is our super sweet and beautiful friend Cashmere, who is as soft as gentle as her name.

This pretty girl found her way to PAWS after a kind human found her wandering the streets. alone and frightened. We're so happy she's safe and loved now while she waits to be discovered by her lucky forever family. As you might imagine, Cashmere can be a little bit shy with people she does not know. But she warms up quickly, loves being pet and getting scritches, and is a great purrer! We know Cashmere will absolutely blossom in a loving home. She's about 1 1/4 years old, spayed, current on her vaccinations, and ready to find her happily ever after. Come meet your new best friend Cashmere today!

Selfies by Five

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:48:28 +0200

We really enjoyed hanging out this weekend with our friendly, handsome, and adoptable pal Five. Don't you just adore his big round eyes, super stripes, extra front toesies, and adorable pink nose?

Five, who is about 1 1/2 years old, came to PAWS after he was found wandering on the streets and doing his best to fend for himself. He's so friendly that he was once most certainly someone's pet. We don't know how he ended up outside, but are thankful he's safe now, receiving love and care until he finds his happily ever after. This awesome mancat gets along with other kitties, enjoys spending time with his human buddies, is neutered and current on his vaccinations, and is so ready to meet his new best friend. So, what do you say? Come and take Five (home) today!

Like our beloved Target, Five 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.

Rumor has it that Avalanche, who is about 10 months old, is a Scottish Straight. While we don't know for certain if that's true, we do know that he's gentle, outgoing, and joyously playful. (And yes, his fur is as soft and plush as it looks in these photos.) He adores humans and gets along well with other nice cats. Avalanche is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and waiting at PAWS to find his new best friend. Could it be you?

Felicette is a lapcat!

This three year-old kitty was saved from life on the streets and after having had multiple litters of kittens.

Felicette spayed, current on her vaccinations, and ready for her happily ever after. Come meet her today, and fall in love!

Selfies by Babs

Sun, 09 Feb 2025 04:36:12 +0200

You're in for a treat today, because look who raised her pretty little paw when we asked for volunteers for this week's selfie. It's our adorable, gentle, and adoptable friend Babs! 💖

If you're wondering if Babs is as sweet as she looks in these photos, she absolutely is. This petite two year-old ladycat loves spending time with her human friends, especially when they talk with her sweetly and give her scritches on her cheeks and under her chin. We're so glad she ended up at PAWS after being found pregnant and living in an unfinished basement. In her foster home, she gave birth to two precious babies who have since been adopted. Now it's Babs' turn to find her very own happily ever after. She's spayed, current on her vaccinations, and ready to meet her forever best friend. Could it be you?

As you can see in these photos we took over the weekend, our beautiful and adoptable friend Bambi is a sweetheart through and through. 💖

We're so thankful Bambi found her way to PAWS. We're told she was rescued when she approached some humans on the street after being abandoned by her former family. (We can't imagine how or why they did this, but as mentioned, we're glad she's safe and loved now while she waits to find her true forever home.) This two year-old kitty is affectionate and friendly, adores people, and gets along with other nice cats. Bambi is spayed, current on her vaccinations, and ready to find love. Could it be with you?

Momo's Sunday Selfie

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 04:55:17 +0200

We're not sure who named our buddy Momo, but we think his moniker (which means "peach" in Japanese) is pretty appropriate. It's true. This handsome dude is one peach of a mancat!

Momo, who is about one year old, loves hanging out with and getting attention from his human pals. And though you can't tell it from these photos, he's quite the conversationalist! Momo is neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find his forever family. Come meet him at PAWS today!

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 03:40:13 +0200

Three year-old Casserole came to PAWS from a home that had way too many cats. This very unassuming and wonderful boy loves people and gets along well with other nice kitties. He's neutered, current on his vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to find his new best friend. Could that be you?

Selfie by Ashford

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 04:41:46 +0200

Handsome alert! Handsome alert! Just check out our adoptable friend Ashford, and you'll see we're not joking about him being handsome. 💖

He's also very sweet. This gentle giant really enjoys getting pets and attention from his human pals, and loves scritches under his chin and on his big cheeks. Ashford came to PAWS after being found abandoned outside as an un-neutered male. He has some scars that show he was picked on out there, but that's all behind him now. Ashford is such an amazing dude, and he's glad to be safe, warm, and loved while he waits for his forever home (we're glad, too!). He's about 3 years old, neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready for his indoor happily ever after. Come meet Ashford today, and fall in love!

Like our beloved Target, Ashford 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.

(Almost) Wordless Mousse

What's black and white, and fluffy all over? As you can see from this photo, the answer to the question is our adorable and adoptable buddy Mousse! Just look at those awesome whiskers, cute white toesies, and big round eyes! 💖

Mousse, who is about 7 months old, is a very sweet and gentle dude. And although the unfamiliar sights, smells, and sounds of the shelter have been a little bit intimidating for him, his confidence is growing with each passing day. He already loves the company of other gentle cats, and is starting to learn that humans are nice, too! We have no doubt that Mousse will positively blossom in his forever loving home. He's neutered, current on his vaccinations, and ready to find his happily ever after. Come meet Mousse at PAWS today!
