What an appropriate name for this cat. She’s got a sunny disposition and a glowing coat.

Sunny is under a year old with a kitten’s playful energy. She loves to be held and petted. I would be happy to visit her again next week, but I bet she’ll be adopted by then – off brightening someone’s life.
Sunny has been adopted!

He’s a large cat with a big friendly personality…he reminds me of the character Norm in the old TV show “Cheers”. Stoney is outgoing and good natured. And available at PAWS.

Adopted!

There’s a new cat living in the Meeting Room at PAWS.

I stopped brushing her so that I could take her picture. Obviously, she wanted me to continue.

Good News! Marigold has been adopted. I hope she’s getting all the love and brushing sessions that she deserves.

If you’re in the area please join us!

When Milo came to PAWS, he was unkempt, battle scarred and fierce. It was months before he realized that he’d hit the jackpot. First we had to continually remind him that humans could be trusted. It was a long process and emails went out among the staff and volunteers celebrating every mark of progress.
And boy, did he make progress! He became the calmest, sweetest lap cat who never willingly ended a brushing session. All the other cats in his room wanted to be near him.
And this week, two years later, it finally happened… the moment we’ve all dreamed of. Milo has left us for a real home of his own.

Mickey Mouser and I watched the wild turkeys approaching our house in a snow storm last week.

It was a very good day to be inside!
Meanwhile back at PAWS…

Oscar was in his hammock at the shelter, safe and warm.

Handsome Tommy is shy and slowly warming up to people. This young cat is waiting at PAWS for his own true love. Won’t you be his Valentine?
Meanwhile back at my house…
Tommie has a new favorite low calorie treat. It’s only one calorie per twenty licks. The difficult part is trying to count his lightning fast licks.
It’s available in lots of flavors and they even make it for dogs.

Andrey, CEO (Cat Entrusted Official), of the Cat Amazing company sent samples of their toy to the cats at PAWS.
It arrived at my house and our cat Gracie opened the very cute envelope. The toy is easy to assemble, no tools needed. You just drop treats (not included) into the holes and stand back! I used Greenies, which everyone loves. I gave Gracie a few treats to apologize for taking this fascinating toy off to the shelter.



Lenny and Tony had a great time hunting and fishing.

But Elmer was so fast and accurate, you would have thought he had opposable thumbs!
Thank you, Cat Amazing, for brightening their day while they wait for new homes.

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!

Santana, “Will it finally be my turn to get a home?”
PAWS is joining the Best Friends Animal Society in the 9 Lives for $9 national cat adoption event. The age of the cats must be 9 months and older, the length of the promotion is 9 days (November 10-18), and the drastically reduced adoption fee is $9!
Don’t worry, the PAWS match makers (adoption counselors) will be as careful as ever to make sure the cats will go to good forever homes.

Warner is waiting.
I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity to bring home a new family member who will love you forever. PAWS is located in Norwalk Connecticut. Click HERE for a list of participating shelters in other states.

At this price, brothers Lenny and Tony are a real steal!

Shy Matt lurked while the other cats were brushed.

Minnie bonded with her favorite blanket.

Lenny and Tony rested after running laps around their room.
Just another day at the shelter.
