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!
Oliver: Able to leap up tall cat trees in a single bound.
He’s athletic, playful, and sweet.
Daisy: Loyal sidekick and playmate.
She’s a wonderful lapcat with a soft coat and friendly purr.
These two exceptional cats are available at PAWS.
In this room at PAWS, there is a large cage where many cats have found temporary shelter while waiting for their new forever homes.
All of the cats below are graduates within the last year.
Hippity and Hoppity recently moved in after Scoots and Louie went home. These two sweet and shy black and white cats have been in the shelter for two years now. I’m hoping the luck of this cage will continue, and they will be adopted soon.
This is 5 year old Hippity.
When I cleaned their cage Hoppity was feeling worried about the disruption and joined Hippity for comfort. They are very devoted to each other.
I looked at the adoption board Sunday morning
and saw Kosmo and Kramer’s names listed. Gone home together!
Bazooka Joe and Wrigley went home together too.
And then I saw Boone and Logan were adopted – together!
Do you remember pretty tabby Givenchy? Adopted!
Volunteers were dancing with joy at the shelter Sunday.
The girl kittens, calico Gumball and torti Juicyfruit, have already been adopted.
Wrigley, shown above, is a perfect cat for all moods. Show him a feather toy and he leaps amazing heights with focus and wild abandon. Sit down, and he’ll crawl into your lap purring with joy.
So, why hasn’t he been adopted yet?
Brother Bazooka Joe is slightly more quiet, but just as affectionate.
They are healthy young cats and ready to make some family very happy.
Meet Oscar, a playful new resident of the PAWS Meeting Room.
While we were busy cleaning, we noticed Roamer watching us… this picture gives you a clue to his fun loving, quirky personality!
Some weeks when I get home from the shelter and look at my photographs,
I have a hard time deciding what to share on the blog.
Maybe a beautiful tabby kitten like little Vea?
Looking through the window at the cats in Room #4 who are waiting for a visit
(they’ve been redecorating).
You’ve seen Kosmo and Kramer before on the blog, but what a sweet pose!
For more kitten cuteness, visit my friends at Animal Shelter Volunteer life. They have some adorable action shots of Bobble, Vea’s gray brother.
Clicker training is a way to have fun, positive interactions with cats. This is especially important in a shelter where some cats don’t view humans in a very positive light. It reminds the cats that nice things happen when people are around. Eventually cats become less fearful and more interested in potential adopters.
PAWS volunteer Gail has been teaching clicker training to other volunteers, and working with a number of cats at the shelter.
Here’s a session with Roamer, one of her star pupils.
“Up, Roamer!”
“Good job, Roamer!” Gail gives him a little reward.

Meet Scoots, a friendly affectionate cat brought to the shelter with brother Louie. Their family moved to another country for work, Scoots and Louie moved to the shelter.

We hope their stay at PAWS will be brief.
Patch is surveying the room from a very well worn cat perch. That’s Brenna, an active young girlcat, below him. Shy Junior is in the background.
Another week, another hammock.
Roamer has a pink one to match his nose.
