This is Amy. She and her sister Amanda were kittens at PAWS three years ago. Amy is quite friendly and curious about the visitors in her room. Shy Amanda would just as soon view them from under a chair.

Holly loves to be petted and brushed. She’s got the softest coat and deepest happy purr. Come to PAWS to meet Holly- she’ll love you too.

Our friends at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life recently featured her. To read more about Holly CLICK HERE. We hope this sweet cat won’t be spending her golden years in the shelter.

Five year old Ella is a petite torti cat.

But there’s nothing petite about her cute polydactyl paws!

Please join us for a special Saint Patrick’s Day adoption event at PAWS.

Six year old Toni, a beautiful tortoiseshell cat, came to PAWS recently when her owner died.

Toni’s brother Chino is with her.

They must have been well loved, because even with all the changes in their circumstances, they still look to people for affection. It’s a sad story, but I hope there’s a happy ending soon.

“Do you think Loreen and Krystal are in there, Kosmo?”
“Dunno, Kramer. Why don’t you go in and find out.”

“Nope. They’re not in here either, Kosmo.”

Loreen and Krystal have left the shelter for a home of their very own!

Speaking of sweet…

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.

Ironically, the cats who live in the shelter kitchen are all on reduced calorie food. Pepper and Susie are very laid back cats.

But Shadow says, “Are you saying that I’m fat?”

Today I started cleaning in Cat Room #1 at the shelter, and was surprised to see a new resident in Bijou’s cage. Pretty gray and white Della is twelve years old, quiet and loving.

Pretty little Carmella was adopted this week, as well as some old friends who had been at the shelter for quite a while (those are the names with stars).
See where it says “Mickey (from Foster)”? Kitten Mickey is officially ours!

This is Carmella.
