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?

eLarisa
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.

Catnap interrupted!
These two shy girls came to the shelter separately, but I sure hope they leave together.

eOreo
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!eC7

It’s very cold outside here in Connecticut.
These shelter cats were sunbathing and playing on their new cat perch.

How can anyone resist this perfectly friendly, healthy, playful tabby boy?
Update: Someone couldn’t resist! Hank has a new home.

The cats have each other, and lots of attention from staff and volunteers until their perfect new family finds them at the shelter. Very soon, I hope!
It’s getting pretty crowded at PAWS.

I have learned at the shelter that the appearance of old furniture can be greatly improved by the addition of a decorative cat. Two cats are always better though.

I was busy taking pictures of this pretty tabby cat in one of the communal rooms in the shelter, when I felt a tap on top of my head. It was this guy-

Chyna is a new cat at the shelter. She has extraordinary blue eyes and (I’m sorry but it’s true) needs to go on a diet.
Updated February 2010- Chyna has finally been adopted!

Tabby markings have always been my favorite. These two are very different looking, but both beautiful examples. To read about tabby cats click here.

When I think of Spring, I think of robins, flowers, and kittens.
