When I wrote about Milo back in May, he was still a very grumpy, unfriendly guy. What a difference love, attention, and treats can make!

Now Milo is living loose in Cat Room #5. His calm manner and loud purr makes him the favorite cat to curl up with.


That’s Violet in the cage. The cats are telling her to stop hissing all the time so that she can come out too.

Phoebe and Zoe-Bob

Mindy and Maggie

Milo and Bobby

Julio and Concha

Some of the pairs at the Shelter came in together. Some found comfort in new friends that they met at PAWS.

“Ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don’t you let them…

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend.”

Jerome and Bunny love the cool new trees in their room.

I used to watch a TV show on the Animal Planet network called, “HouseCat HouseCall“. A vet visited homes and advised families on resolving behavioral issues. Dr. Katrina almost always suggested the purchase of cat trees.

It works for Santana! She’s is now out of her cage and free to enjoy her roommates. Or climb the cat tree and get away from it all.

This shy girl is almost a year old and making good progress with her socialization. Pokeeta looks like she’s thinking, “Can I really trust you?”

Chompers is just under a year old, likes baby food and gentle brushing. The shape of his upper eyelids makes him look disgruntled but he can’t help that.

A group of PAWS volunteers have been working intensively with some feral cats at the shelter. So far Mindy, Maggie, Santana, Pokeeta, and Chompers are all gradually responding to the extra attention and treats.
We are hoping this program will make the cats much better candidates for adoption.

Don’t sit so close to the TV, Smith!

The dogs love playtime in the shelter‘s fenced yard- except on rainy days.

Meanwhile, the cats were happy to be dry and snug in their beds. Here is Maine Coon mix Phoebe and her constant companion Zoe-Bob.
