PAWS Pet of the Week

Milo is a Future Olympian

Milo is waiting for you at PAWS.

My name is Milo and I have some growing to do so I can catch up with my long legs and big feet. Being an adolescent boy is a part of my charm. Don’ t you think I am adorable in my orange tiger striped coat? Besides being cute, I am also very friendly and playful.  I love string toys and will jump very high to catch them. I am thinking of a career in basketball or possibly a try for the US men’s gymnastics team in 2016. My event will either be the high jump or box diving. Ok, as you can see from my picture, maybe I will specialize in being stuck in the box when exploring. Is there a gold medal for that event? Despite these antics, I can be very laid back when I am ready to rest. Indeed, I fell asleep on top of my foster mother the other …

PAWS Pet of the Week

Ruby Nugget Has Grace Of a Dancer

Ruby Nugget is waiting for you at PAWS.

Mellow and sweet are the attributes that define me the best.  Add to that my incredible body and I am a great cat in a beautiful package.  That is me, Ruby Nugget, a sleek, shiny, black beauty with stunning eyes and sculpted Siamese-like physique. I think I could be a dancer.  I can stretch my spine and move in ways that are amazing and beautiful to watch (if I do say so myself).  I love to parade with my elegant tail curved right over the top of my back.  Martha Graham, watch out! Next to stretching and strutting, the thing I really love is catnip.  That stuff could be addictive.  Is it legal?  I hope so, because it makes me feel so great.  Give me a pinch and I will run and play like mad.  Of course, that tires me out and I will need a …

Gansett Wants to Play For Your Team

Gansett is up for adoption.

Submitted by PAWS. My name is Gansett and perhaps you have met me at PAWS’ adoption days. Everyone loves me there as I sit like a gentleman in my blue harness and greet the visitors. Adoption days are fun, but I must say that I am sick and tired of sitting on the bench as other cats are scoring goals. I want a real home team of my own to play with. So let’s get to the details. I am very handsome in my grey and white coat. I used to be a bit portly, which was a shame for a young guy like me. After all, I am in the prime of my life at 8 years old. But I have successfully lost the extra weight, and I did not even need Weight Watchers. That is because my foster mom had me running the treadmill. Well, not really, but she did insist I do the …

Emiliyo, All Around Perfect Sweet and Fun Cat

Emiliyo is waiting for you at PAWS.

Boy, I have I had a tough few weeks.  First, I found myself wandering lost in Wakefield.  That was definitely not fun and I was hungry. Then I spent two weeks in quarantine at the VCA.  Everyone was nice there, but they had to hold me to see if my original family might be looking for me. That was really not fun. Finally, finally, I am in a PAWS foster home and let me tell you….life is good. My name is Emiliyo and I am a beautiful black and white tuxedo with amazing golden eyes and the cutest white markings.  I feel right at home with my fosters and I will settle in easily at your house when you adopt me (hint, hint), because I am, well, I am an extremely nice and friendly, young cat.  I must say, when I first arrived in my foster home, I …

PAWS Pet of the Week

Avon, A Bright and Curious Cat

Avon will make you laugh.

My name is Avon and curiosity is my game.  Yes, I am an inquisitive sort.  I love to sit by the window and watch the birds.  There is a nice rhododendron bush outside the dining room window and sometimes I get so excited I forget I am on the sill and fall off.  But don’t worry, I get right back on and do it all over again. It’s all part of the fun!  I am also fascinated by the three-year-old human that I live with.  I can sit and watch him forever.  I know how to play gently.  I also know how to get out of his way when he gets too rambunctious!  But mostly, I just want to sit near him and watch. True to my curious side, I am known to steal a toy or sock or something. When I find a toy that I like, I dash through the house with it while my…

PAWS Pet of the Week

Twizzle, a Tiger With Sizzle

Adopt Twizzle the tiger cat.

My name is Twizzle.  I did not pick my name, or my coat, but I think both fit me quite nicely.  I love my grey and white outfit with its subtle stripes.  That’s the understated side of me.  As you read further, you’ll learn more about my extra sizzle.  Okay, those are big words for a kitten so you know I am getting some help writing this.  After all, I am just a little guy. Like all kittens, I love to play.  I will chase anything, but I especially enjoy that long grey thing I keep glimpsing behind me.  I run after it in circles and cannot seem to catch it. It is always just out of my reach, but I do plan to catch it eventually.  I am a persistent little fellow.  In the meantime, I’m happy to catch the tails of my playmates.  I can resist …

Spryng Is a Beautiful Girl In A Tuxedo

Who says tuxedos are just for boy cats?

My name is Spryng and I believe in unisex dressing since I am a girl tuxedo cat.  Don’t you think I look mighty fine in my dress-up fur? Ok, so I have big feet, but double paws are considered cute in a cat. I like my white socks and I use my big paws to play with catnip mice and grab at any string you might dangle my way. I may look a bit formal, but I am really just a year-old kitten looking for a fun time. That is not to say I am a party animal. I am actually very picky about my friends. I need to really know you before I let loose and have fun. My foster family is nice, but they had to prove they were patient and sweet… which they are. Now, when they call me, I come running and sometimes I like to sleep on their bed.   Although I can be…

Tré Cool, a Truly Awesome Cat

Tré Cool is waiting for you at PAWS.

My name is Tré Cool. Like my namesake the rock drummer, I believe that “Everyone is entitled to our opinion.” And, in our opinion, I am truly a cool cat.   I am also bright, friendly, and curious. At six years old, I am settled, but still active and playful. However, you need not worry that I have any other Tré Cool qualities. No drums… no cymbals… and the only backup vocals you will hear are when I am forced to ride in a car. Don’t worry, once I arrive at my destination I will settle happily into the swing of things, as was the case went I went to my foster home.  My foster family is wonderful, but just between us, I am eager to find a permanent home. I am looking for people as wonderful as my previous owners, who loved me very much. …

Friendly, Sweet Guy Seeks Love and Affection

Stuart is waiting for you at PAWS.

Let me introduce myself.  I’m Stuart and I’m a real lap cat.  There is nowhere I would rather be than sitting in your lap and nothing I would like better than being pet.  I promise that I am not one of those felines that will tease you with a quick visit, jumping off the minute things don’t go my way.  If you like to cuddle, I would be your dream feline since I will roll over for you.  Can you be sure to give me some belly rubs while you are at it?  If you look at my picture, you will see that I have a really beautiful and touchable tummy. I hope you can tell that I am a people guy.  I am going to wait in the window for you to come home from work and I will greet you at the door.  I will put my paws on your shoulders to look at you eye-to-…

Beautiful Green-Eyed Brewster Seeks Soul Mate

Brewster is waiting for you at PAWS.

My name is Brewster and I am a two-year-old with spectacular green eyes and the silkiest black medium-haired coat you ever did touch.  Please, do not think I am conceited when I describe myself this way.  It is just a fact that I am very handsome and wonderful.  I want you to know that I am not going to let you love me for my beauty alone.  I am looking for a very special person or persons who will take the time to get to know the real me.  If you do, I think you will find that I have a lot more to offer than silky fur and amazing eyes. Right now, I am living in a wonderful foster home with very nice people.  They are so friendly and I especially like when they shine the laser light for me.  That game turns me right back into a kitten; it …
