Funny how I ended up in this pet of the week column usually devoted to a bunch of cats.  You must admit that I certainly stand out from the crowd you have been seeing here.  Well, March is Adopt a Rescued Guinea Pig month so it is the perfect time for me to introduce you to the joys of a cavy companion! I am pure pig, Guinea that is, from my white fur to the orange patch that adorns my eye. Honestly, I am cute and cuddly and I promise to brighten your day.  As most cavies, I love to talk and I will hold my end of a conversation with a selection of squeals, chirps, squeaks and whistles.  Being…

Tigre is a very special cat with an extraordinarily loving heart and spirit.  While she has already faced adversity in her young life, this beautiful tiger mom remains optimistic and happy – truly a warm and engaging companion cat.  She also has some nurturing left over from when she cared for her babies.  Watch out she may even be the one taking care of you!  Tigre’s babies have all been adopted so now it is her time to find her own home.   Playfulness is second nature to Tigre who also adores her treats, so much so that she even tried to scoop a few extra while at an adoption day. You will …

It is Saint Patrick’s Day this week and, Irish or not, we sure hope there is a pot of gold somewhere over the horizon, preferably in the form of a new home for the two of us.   Will you be our lucky leprechaun?  I am Angel, a ravishing (if I do say so myself) tortoiseshell with a touch of the blarney.   I enjoy meeting new people and making friends,   And I love to play.  No box is too tall or string is too wiggly to attract my eye.  I also love to play with my brother, Mr. Bigglesworth.  Isn’t he handsome with his swirly classic tabby patterns?   Like me, Biggie also loves to stare out the …

Katara is a petite, 2-year-old grey-striped tiger mom cat.  Now that her kittens are adopted, she is ready and eager to have a family of her own.  However, she is looking for a home with patient cat-people because she is a shy girl.  The good news is that she has made great strides in her temporary home and now sits with her foster mother and paws at her arm if she is not getting enough attention.  She also loves treats, which can be a way to break the ice with her.  For someone willing to take the time to let her inner kitty emerge, Katara is a beautiful girl with so much love to offer.    …

I know all the cats say they are beautiful, but I am the most beautiful of all with my gorgeous black and white markings. And my beautiful face is matched by my amazing disposition.  I am one sweet kitty and I am on a mission to find you. A woman does not like to tell her age, but at mine, I can brag: I am a two-year-old girl in the bloom of life.  My mission: To follow people around and find out what is going on.  I always tag after my foster mom and I am always curious to meet new people.  I am no wall flower, but a super sweet, super friendly, super centered, feline who definitely enjoys …

I am a gorgeous feline with my tiger markings on a marvelous white coat.  I was wandering the streets when a PAWS foster mother agreed to take me in.  We never did find my former home, but I am flexible so it did not take me long to adjust to my foster family. Yes, I do love humans with all my heart and I have big soft heart. Sweet is the word they use most often to describe me. And just so you know, my soft heart is matched by equally soft, clawless paws My tender nature is my charm.  I relish a good pat, a hug, some warm snuggles and just spending time with you.  I am mellow and peaceful, …

Orsini, a handsome redhead, is looking for his love!  This four-year-old orange and white feline loves nothing more than good food, a comfortable bed, and a window from which he can watch the world go by.  He also enjoys being patted around the head and neck. He can easily become your BFF. Orsini is mellow but a bit tentative at first.  He does not jump into things paws first and so  will need some time to warm up to you.  Before you know it, however, he will be sharing TV time on the sofa with you.  You will even be waking in the morning to find him snuggled on your bed.  This wonderful boy …

I am a sweetheart of a cat looking for love on Valentine’s Day, or any other day for that matter.  I am a seven-year-old grey and white handsome dude looking for life’s best friend—soul mates may apply.  I make the purrffect companion because I can hold a two-way conversation with you or even a solo chat with myself.  Rub me the right way and I am sure to respond.  Offer me a treat and you will win my heart forever. I seek a committed relationship with a mature human or two who know what they want and what they seek. My preference is to be your one and only. I have so much affection to give …

I am a two and a half year old glorious ebony cat with a very cool name.  They call me Sneaky Boy because I snuck into my foster mom’s yard.  I have to admit, I was very happy to move indoors when she rescued me in the fall.  It was getting cold.  Once inside, I quickly remembered how wonderful it was to have people scratch my chin and I love that.  It gets me purring. Now I just jump in my foster mother’s lap as soon as I see her sit down. She laughs because I like to go right up to her face and mark her mouth.  I – I thinks think to you humans it is just like kissing!   I also love  to …

Tweedledee and Tweedledum: A Pair of Adorable Sisters Seek Loving Home My name is Tweedledee and I am beautiful, sweet four-month-old tortie kitten with a winning purrsonality.  As you can see, I loved my first Christmas.  Are all these presents for me? I pride myself on my honesty, so l would like to mention right off that I am unique as I am missing several toes on a hind foot.  This is not an obstacle in my mind and should not be in yours.  I can do anything any kitten can do (maybe even better), including climbing.  I must admit I do love to shimmy up arms and shoulders, all the better to…

Love comes in all shapes and sizes.  My name is Guinness and I am a seven-year-old brown tabby with a beautiful white tummy. I am a big boy at 22 pounds (all muscle of course) and I have an outgoing teddy bear personality to match my size.  My hobbies are dining in, sunning myself, and working out. As you can see, I am a guy who likes to live large and love large, it’s that simple. I will lounge on your couch and, because I am already declawed, you will not have to worry about me shredding it.   I also consider myself an expert on human behavior.  I know, for example, that if I show you my …

My name is Punkin and I'm a handsome young guy who would love to be your one true love. I am a dark orange tiger on top, with snowy white on my bottom half. I'll purr just to be near you and jump right up in your lap or sleep on your chest. I make my foster mom laugh by kneading her hair. She says it looks like I have an orange tiger mask on my beautiful eyes just designed to steal her heart! I love to act wild when she throws catnip toys for me to chase. I do get frustrated when I see other cats. I want to be the boss of the house so it would be best if I were your one and only cat.  But I …

I am a happy, sweet, mellow beauty (grey with green eyes) who is seeking a loving home of her own.  I enjoy the simple pleasures in life, from being with family and friends to good food and full water bowls. I am a little plump, but who isn't in middle age.  So I am doing kitty Weight Watchers and hope to be a svelte babe in no time. Right now it just means there is more of me to love and I have more love to give. Regardless of my "extra baggage" I am a fabulous feline.  I am a healthy girl who is open-minded and open-hearted.  I make friends easily and with all kinds of people and creatures…

My name is Cooper Nowell and I am a looking for my own Christmas miracle, a new home.  I am a little sad because I recently lost my beloved person, who was the founder of PAWS.  I was her favorite because I am a gentle boy who loves to cuddle and purr.  The more you pet me, the more I will purr. I also adore being brushed and I love hugs. If you take me home, I will be your best friend and follow you around the house.  They say I am a good conversationalist, but that I never talk too much!  I am the perfect cuddly companion.  You should also know that I am a very adaptable fellow.  I could be…
