This is Momma Margarita and her daughter Larissa below. They sound like heroines from a Victorian novel!
Paws never uses numbers instead of names, but I wonder how often adopting families keep the shelter names.
Great cat names- click HERE.
Imagine that you are 60 years old. Your family decides that they can’t keep you around any more and drops you off at a shelter…
That’s Carrie’s situation. She’s 11 years old. Is she bitter or angry? No. She’s one of the most affectionate cats at the shelter.
There’s a handy conversion chart here- how old is your cat?
The cats in C7 are such good and entertaining company, sometimes I think the shelter could raise money by charging admission to this room!
Unfortunately, sweet Zee, Annie, Butch, and Etta from the original “Hole in the Wall Gang” are still waiting for homes.
At 9 months old, Franklin is a very outgoing friendly teenager.
Franklin has been adopted!
I don’t usually clean the room where Potsie lives, (hey, PAWS volunteers, is this Potsie?) but now I know I shouldn’t leave the paper towels where he can reach them.
I love working and photographing at the shelter, but I’m not a writer. For stories about PAWS cats, you can visit this very cool blog!
This is 6 month old Larisa who is at the shelter with her mom, Margarita.
I’ve been reading about cat markings, and she would be considered a patched tabby, maybe.
Tortie-tabby, torbie, caliby, dilute whatever… she’s a very cute cat!
You can read about markings here and get more confused too.
Cyrus has been adopted, but Momcat Pearl and her baby Lizzie are holding out for a home where they can be together.
Meanwhile, Pearl is making sure Lizzie is nice and clean.
Pearl and Lizzie have been adopted together!
Here are little sisters Nora and Natalie hanging out together at the shelter.
Nora and Natalie have been adopted!
Two of the sweetest young girl cats at the shelter!
Katherine has been adopted- and Emily too!
Catnap interrupted!
These two shy girls came to the shelter separately, but I sure hope they leave together.
He is such a busy little cat- sometimes it seems like he’s everywhere at once.
But I have to admit that I had some fun using Photoshop in this photograph.
Oreo has been adopted!
Jellicle Cats are white and black,
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size;
Jellicle Cats jump like a jumping-jack,
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes.

It’s very cold outside here in Connecticut.
These shelter cats were sunbathing and playing on their new cat perch.
Fonzie has been adopted but Richie, Ralph and Potsie are still at the shelter.
