This beautiful momcat is only a year and a half old. She can relax now that her 7 kittens have all been adopted and she’s been spayed.
Yes, this is Happy and Grumpy’s mother… also Sleepy, Doc, Dopey, Bashful, and Sneezy.

She looks more like a Sleeping Beauty today.

Here’s Brian and his brother Buster again – you met them a few weeks ago. Tabby Brian is cautious but curious. He checks to see if Buster likes you first… But Buster is so affectionate and outgoing; he seems to like everyone!

When I cleaned their cage, the disruption sent them up to their hammock. It’s harder to find homes for cats when there are two that can’t be parted. But the comfort they bring each other while they wait is very sweet to see.

There’s more than one cat named Patches at PAWS now, so this pretty girl has been designated “Patches II”. As you can see, she’s a dilute calico with beautiful markings. Only about two years old, she’s friendly and very active.
She must be placed with her brother Rusty, who is shy and wasn’t ready yet for a photo session. I’ll try to show you her handsome orange tiger companion next time… well, actually, I hope they won’t be at the shelter that long!

Kittens Fiver (black male) and Trudy (tortie female) are looking for a family to call their own too.

Meet Peanut, a lovely eight year old calico. She hasn’t been at PAWS very long and is still getting used to shelter life.

It must be calico week; my friends at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life have featured pretty Patches. CLICK HERE to see her.
Seven Kittens

This is Happy on the left, and Grumpy on the right. Can you guess the names of the other five kittens in the litter?

It’s that time of the year again….Kitten Season!

This is April.

And here’s June. May was already adopted, and I’m sure these beauties will be leaving the shelter soon.

I sat on the floor in front of their open cage and made some cat-friendly chirping noises. Slowly gray Buster came out, inspected me, and climbed into my lap.
Buster rolled, stretched, purred, and made himself at home. When shy tabby Brian saw that it was safe, he came out and laid beside me for some petting too.
These one year old boys are just sweethearts – and they’re available for adoption at PAWS.

Minnie Mouse and Mouse Continued…
Sunday morning Minnie was hanging out in her hammock with her mouse.

Today is Tommie’s birthday. At least, it’s our best guess at the date. He wobbled out of the woods in front of our house 15 years ago; a tiny, hungry, absolutely adorable 6 week old kitten.

He’s luxuriating in the early Spring sunshine, inviting tummy rubs.
He is my sunshine.

This is pretty Minnie Mouse.
She’s a playful, happy young cat who has adjusted beautifully to her temporary home at PAWS. Minnie Mouse likes the other cats in her room, people, food, toys, and her sister Tinkerbell.

We hope her stay at the shelter will be short, but meanwhile, she’s a joy to be around!
