Dog Walk-A-Thon Saturday, October 23rd
'Tis the Season....for Kittens and their Moms!
During the months of July through October, most animal shelters are filled to capacity with kittens and their moms, with many, many more waiting for a “room at the inn.” PAWS is no exception. We have SO many lovely momcats, SO many kittens, all seeking loving, lifetime homes. ‘Tis the season to consider adopting a mom and one of her kids….or any pair of kittens up to one-year old. All moms have been spayed or will be spayed prior to adoption. Special adoption fees are in effect through October!Momcat and kitten: $95 for both
Pair of kittens: $65 for both
($30 deposit for each unaltered kitten, refunded after proof of spay/neuter)
Bonded adult pairs: $65 for both (special fee in effect year-round)
Summer is the time for fun and frolic. Welcome a lovely momcat and her babe or two frolicking youngsters to your home and let the fun begin!
(Note: With kitten adoptions in full swing, some of our moms already have empty nests. Choose a mom and a kitten from another litter and the special adoption rate applies).

Be a Superhero for Special Cats
Some PAWS cats available for adoption are searching for an adopter who will truly be their Superhero. These cats have some special needs. They also have lots of love and affection to give and most of their needs can be fairly easily accommodated by their adopter. However, each does require some sort of special attention; perhaps needing special foods or medicines or being watched carefully for symptoms of illness or having to be kept indoors and away from other cats due to their having a suppressed immune system themselves. Some will possibly need more frequent visits to the vet than a cat without obvious special needs. Some might just need a patient adopter to help them overcome shyness or other behavior issues. Please look at the listings for these wonderful cats. Their online bio should explain more about their individual circumstances. Maybe YOU really can be a Superhero to a wonderful cat. Foster homes are needed for special cats, current and future, too.
Please DO check out the listings for:
Dude
Elliot
Fingers
Some of our other cats require special foods to stay healthy, so please visit them and consider them for adoption too. They really are great cats and their needs are easily met.
Second Saturdays are the best time to meet the special needs cats who are not there every weekend!
Watch for information about special weekend promotions for these cats. Some of the cats are on site most every weekend. For those who are not at the center on non-event weekends, special arrangements can be made for interested parties to meet them.

Your $25 tax-deductible donation will enable us to continue providing quality shelter and medical care to pets while they await adoption. Your name, or the names of your family and friends, will be displayed under the photograph of your chosen feline or canine – or if you prefer, you may remain anonymous. Be a hero!
