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.

Now that Loreen and Krystal have been adopted, I was very curious to see who moved into their old room at the shelter.
The new residents are a mother and daughter. Meet four month old Daisy.
And her one year old mother Dolly.
Little Daisy was very busy exploring the room while Mom kept a watchful eye on her baby.
Daisy wore herself out! Have you ever seen such pink toe pads?
ADOPTED TOGETHER!

Adoption Update!
Three of the friendliest, most affectionate cats at the shelter have gone home. This is Parfait.
And the little Mommas, Cherry and Apple, were adopted together!
Speaking of sweet…

Loreen and her sister Krystal have been at PAWS since September 2009. From the start, Krystal has been a good tempered cat, adjusting well to shelter life.
Then there’s Loreen…
There’s a dry erase board in most of the cat rooms with tips on things like favorite toys, whether a cat likes to be brushed, which cats can be out of their cages together. It’s very helpful information. Some months ago a note appeared (Thank you Tracey and Kevin at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life!) advising that if you put a towel in your lap, Loreen would come over and sit. Having needed bandaids from encounters with Loreen in the past, I wasn’t eager to experiment.
Then Sunday I sat down with the towel and called her. She came right over and purred up a storm! Yea!!!

This is the first stop for anyone who volunteers at the Shelter. To prevent the spread of germs, we wear smocks and change them between rooms.
So many choices…
After gathering up cleaning supplies, I start in Cat Room #1 where Tessa is waiting to supervise.
This is Cecil’s room too. He’s a sweet playful boy, right down to the white tip at the end of his tail.
UPDATE! Cecil has been adopted!
And this is also Loreen’s room. She’s got a favorite new napping spot.
I’ve gotten very fond of the cats in this room. But every week I hope that they will have been adopted and are gone.

We said goodbye to kitten Amy and her shy sister Amanda during the Winter in 2010. Unfortunately their family had to bring them back.
They are beautiful full grown cats now. Just as they were as kittens, Amy is more adventurous and Amanda is shy.
We hope it won’t be long before they get their second chance at love.

Shirley is a two year old tuxedo cow cat. You can’t see it in this photograph, but she has several nicely placed black markings. Besides her obvious cuteness, she’s a very sweet, friendly girl.
She’s available for adoption at PAWS, but she’s not going anywhere without her buddy Sandy.

She’s a newcomer to the shelter. Sandy is only three years old with a great friendly personality.

Three year old Oracle is an office cat at PAWS. She shares the room with Sweetie the cat, Tippy the cat, and Matt the cat person.
While she’s very content and well cared for at the shelter, we hope she sees a home in her near future.
Here’s Sweetie and Tippy (I don’t have a picture of Matt).

If you adopt Tippy, she promises to do your taxes next year.
