Sundays at the Shelter http://www.shelter-cats.com Fri, 18 May 2012 21:35:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Mystery Cats http://www.shelter-cats.com/2012/05/mystery-cats/ http://www.shelter-cats.com/2012/05/mystery-cats/#comments Fri, 18 May 2012 21:35:22 +0000 Maggie http://www.shelter-cats.com/?p=5422 One day recently, two cats were found in a hallway at the PAWS shelter.
Someone drove by, opened the door, and shoved them into the building.
This is Katniss.

And her brother (probably!) Peeta.

These healthy sweet young cats aren’t holding a grudge. They love everyone they meet!
Someone treated them well enough to help form their affectionate happy personalities (catsonalities), but then left them at the shelter.
Why? And where did they come from?

Katniss and Peeta aren’t saying.
They are available for adoption and ready to go to a new permanent home.

I made a hammock last week for Kosmo and Kramer’s house, and was very happy to see it in use today!

Roamer is very playful and energetic!
To see him in action, CLICK HERE and go to youtube.
Notice his cute markings and dark striped tail.

He’d be so happy in a home where he could romp to his heart’s content. Come see him at PAWS.

She had a beautiful little family of three kittens and was a very good mother.
She nursed them, taught them good kitty manners, and they were all adopted right away.
That was in November of 2008.
Mercedes is still at the shelter waiting for a home of her own. She’s shy and quiet. Enjoys the company of other cats, and likes to be gently brushed.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mercedes.

Full house on the Kuranda Cat bed!

Kosmo and Kramer are a fun loving pair of young cats. They are brother and sister and devoted pals. If you’re wondering about their names, it turned out that Kosmo is actually a girl cat (I think her name should be changed to Cosmo, like the flower).

In cage or out, they are always together. Fortunately they are waiting safely at PAWS, where the excellent adoption councilors wouldn’t dream of separating them.

Last week I met Frederick and fell in love.
He’s a big guy, but he’s calm, sweet and gentle.
The kittens I’ve been featuring lately are little balls of energy… and other things that require some training and cleaning supplies.
A mature cat is just ready to love you and so happy to have a home.
Come meet Frederick at PAWS!

Tommie’s 14th Birthday
Tommie wants to thank everyone for their birthday wishes. He was too busy celebrating in his catnip patch yesterday.

I wasn’t sure how to select a winner, so I went to www.random.com and put the number of comments into their Random Number Generator.
Immediately #7 came up. Comment #7 is Meowmeowmans aka Kevin from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life! Kevin has a wonderful blog about the very same PAWS shelter.

Then I decided to let Gracie chose a second winner. After she ate the treats I put in the bottom of the bowl, she picked out Laura, comment #11.

Thank you for all the nice comments! The book is now available on Amazon.

When I’m not at PAWS, or home playing with my own cats, I illustrate children’s books. What do I most like to draw and paint? Cats!
I just got copies of my new book starring my own Tommie and Gracie.

Leave a comment on this post and I’ll choose one person to get a free copy of the book.
Good Luck!
