Winter is waiting for you at PAWS.
My name is Winter, but I am not the least bit like that season. I am all spring, sweet, happy and loving, the kind of kitty who will sit on your lap and purr and purr. The kind of girl who likes to be scratched, rubbed, and petted in all those good cat spots (ears, chin, neck, etc.). In this very cold end of January, I am a tiger who will bring a lot of warmth into your home. Did I say tiger? Not a real one silly! I am actually a torbie because of my range of colors (orange, brown, grey, cream) mixed with tiger stripes. Did I mention I am young? Maybe eight months old. Some would say that is an awkward age, stuck between childhood and adulthood. But I would say it is the perfect age. I have all the energy and fun of a kitten, but …

Striker is waiting for you at PAWS.
Striker is my name, but sweetness is my game. That is right, I am a beautiful, adorable, handsome, sweet, funny, and loads of fun. Oh, I am also a very modest guy, so I won’t toot my own horn. I will just let you look at my pictures. I can be goofy, or serious, or very chill as you can see. That is me, all me. OK, I am not a small guy. But hey, there is lots of me to love. I like my kibble and I like it often. I will sit, patiently shifting my weight from right to left and squinting my eyes at you until you get the message and give me a treat. I want your attention, true. But, I want that treat even more, thank you very much. I also love, love, love to be held. If you pick me up, I will wrap my big fuzzy paws around your neck …

Mumtaz is a declawed Siamese.
Meowee. Did you hear me? I want to talk to you! My name is Mumtaz and I am trying to have a conversation. I am a Siamese, so I really do want to talk. We do that. But we are also very balanced cats. We are not shrill, we are not crazy, and we like people. I love people. I had the same owner for 13 years until she got too old to care for me. I miss her. But I am trying to be realistic. I can’t be with her, so I need to find a new home. Did you hear me? I am talking to you. Meoooow, Mrumph. Let me tell you a bit more about me. I am a purebred, Applehead, Siamese cat. I am like the cat that came to this country from Siam, as a present from the king. I am the real royalty as you must realize since I have the same name as the …

Jeneva and Marta are waiting for you at PAWS.
My name is Jeneva, meaning "white wave," which seems appropriate considering my beautiful white coat, green eyes, and exotic features. From the looks of things, I must have some Siamese in my family tree. And, my tendency to talk while I'm walking around my foster home could be another hint, although my voice is as sweet and soft as I am. Yes, I am a very friendly cat who will nuzzle against you and can’t get enough petting. I am also very maternal. Anyone I love will be the object of my watchful care. I came to my foster home as a single kitten, rescued while I was trying to cross a busy street. I know that was silly and I won’t ever do it again. I don’t even ever plan on going outside again. But you know, what, I am also a bit of…

Cats in tuxedos are waiting for you at PAWS.
Did you say party? My name is Tuxedo Tom and I am ready to go. Dressed up in my beautiful shiny, black coat, lovely, white ascot and stunning, amber eyes, I always look my best. Yet, I am really not a formal guy. Instead of going out, I would rather sit on your feet when you are at the computer or by your side when you are watching TV. On the other hand, I’m also not a couch potato. I love to play, especially with toys that I can hunt and stalk. So, if we do go to the dance, you should know that I would want to lead. My foster mom says that makes me lots of fun to live with and she always tells me I am amazing. While I am clearly the most elegant, I do have to confess that PAWS has several black and white felines who are all …

Orange Tabbies are waiting for you at PAWS.
Hi, my name is Carberry and as you can see, I am a beautiful five-year-old orange tabby. I have to say, I am delighted Halloween is over since I keep getting confused for a pumpkin. Must be my beautiful orange coat and the way I sit around and purr. OK, I am large, 14 pounds (all brawn) and I guess when I curl up, I look just like a jack-o-lantern. But really, what pumpkin purrs, is beautiful and laid back and gets along well with dogs and well-behaved cats? The best news of all about me is that PAWS is lowering adoption fees on certain cats just for this weekend. I see I am on that list. I am happy about that because I so very much want a home of my own. Did I mention we have a pumpkin patch at PAWS? Well, not really, but we do …

Chloe and Tiger are a sweet pair.
There we were, my sister (Chloe) and I, having a perfect life with our beloved owner, when she got sick and could no longer care for us. We missed her terribly, and counted ourselves very lucky that her parents took us in. But you know, they were not so young, and now they have moved to assisted living, where we are not allowed. Can you imagine that? OK, we are not here to discuss the health care system. But Chloe and I are a bit heartbroken under our brave demeanor. We have had two big losses and that is not easy for any cat, let alone two loyal and loving felines like Chloe and me. Thank goodness PAWS has taken us under their wing. We are now in a lovely foster home and we have been promised that some very nice person or people …

Noirot is waiting for you at PAWS.
My name is Noirot and I am a purr machine. Nothing makes me happier than a long petting session and a good, loud rumble in my throat. When I see my foster person, I give her a cute meow or two and then, even before she moves in to pet me, I start to purr up a storm. I can sit forever when I am being stroked and groomed. My medium-length fur is now glossy and sleek from all that care—and wait until you see my amazing, bushy tail. I will even let you touch my paws. Yes, you heard that right, touch my paws! For those of you who know cats well, you know that a cat who lets you do that must be a very gentle, sweet feline. Need I say more? I am purrfect! With the days getting colder and darker, I must admit I am happy to be inside and no …

Mr Leo is waiting for you at PAWS.
My name is Mr. Leo, but you can call me Cream Puff. I know, I look like I recently retired from the WWF, but I am really a young, three-year-old, go-along, get-along kind of guy. Plus, with my dark reddish tiger stripes and my Maine coon fuzziness, I combine the best of the feline kingdom. I mean, who wouldn’t want an orange tabby? And everyone seems to love Maine Coons. As for my personality, I’m a sweet, gentle guy who is ready to warm right up to anyone. And, if you offer to brush me, I may just roll over so you can get my tummy, too. Yes, brush my gorgeous, fluffy, orange fur and I will be putty in your hands. I am affable with a capital A. Lately, I have been hanging out with my new gang of friends at the Danvers PetSmart. When I am …

Red-Headed Freckles is waiting for you at PAWS.
I may look like a fiery red-head, but believe me, I am as mellow as can be. I was abandoned by my owners when they moved, but being so sweet, I found my way to some nice neighbors, who noticed I looked lost and forlorn, and rescued me. Now I am at PAWS’ adoption center at the Danvers PetSmart. Life here is OK, but, well, a sweet guy like me needs company. This place sure gets lonely at night when everyone leaves and the lights go off. Can you come adopt me? I promise I will slide easily into your life. As I said, I am the sweetest, mellowest orange tabby you will ever meet. I love to curl up for naps—any cozy place will do. If you want to hear my purr, all you have to do is pet me. I’ll purr even louder if you brush my hair. By the way…
