AmandaAmanda's bio at the time of adoption: "Aaackk! My tail! What on earth happened to my tail?? All the other cats have nice long tails and I have this stubby little thing! No one will want me with this tail!""Amanda, dear Amanda...that little tail makes you very special. It means you are a Manx kitty, not just an ordinary old "domestic shorthair" like most of the others. Someone will choose you especially for your little tail, we promise. And look at it this way - you don't have to worry about chasing your tail and never catching it, or getting your tail caught in a door, or having someone step on it! You're actually very, very lucky." "Okay, if you say so. So...I'm a pretty grey and white, 7-year old Manx. I've been spayed and I'm up-to-date on my vaccines. Because our dad no longer could care for us, he brought my very good buddy, Wesley, and me to PAWS. Wesley, a 7-year old springer spaniel, found a new home very quickly and I really miss him....I wish his new family would have taken me too, but they didn't. Many of the PAWS kitties don't like dogs, but Wes and I got along just fine, so I wouldn't mind at all going to a home where I could have another canine friend. Something else you really should like about me is that I tell you when I want something...so many cats just sit there and glare and you have to figure out what's up. Not me. I can be very vocal. And once I have your attention, I am very sweet and affectionate, little tail and all." |

AmelieAmelie's bio at the time of adoption: AMELIE is, of course, black…with white toes. Amelie is an 8-month old, spayed female who is quite shy around people. She fears that she will be thought of by humans?American humans, that is…as Bad luck. Had she been fortunate enough to be born in Britain or Japan, she would bring Good luck by simply crossing a human’s path. Although not a lap cat yet, Amelie does like to be petted and gains confidence watching other cats. Touching a black cat brings Good luck! |

AmyAmy's bio at the time of adoption: Amy is an orange tiger female (don’t see these too often!). 4-months old, born of a feral mom, this kitten has been in a foster home since the age of 6 weeks. Although she's come a long way from her feral beginnings, she's still somewhat shy and will require patience and a slow introduction to a new environment. |

||
| ......................................................................................... |
ArcherArcher's bio at the time of adoption: Archer is a 6 month old, neutered male with all his vaccinations including rabies. As a young kitten he was very skittish and hard to handle. He has come a long way and has decided my lap is just fine as long as he has the choice. Also loves to be petted and will beg for treats both vocally and by standing on top of the cabinet where they are located. First to greet me in the morning and rub around my legs. Plays well with other cats [young and old] and is close to Rheamy although they are not litter mates. DOB 4/4/03, male |

ArielAriel's bio at the time of adoption: Ariel -- Sister number two, also spayed, is a medium-haired torbie with a funny crook in the end of her tail. Ariel has extraordinarily beautiful yellow eyes. She’s cuddly and a purr machine, but seems to enjoy some private time as well. |
||

BillieBillie's bio at the time of adoption: Dear Billie is a brightly-colored, long-haired calico -- female, as all calicos are, and spayed. Best guess is that she’s about 5-6 years old. Billie’s owner passed away two years ago, and poor Billie has been outside on her own all this time. When she was rescued and brought to PAWS, her beautiful fur was tightly matted, she had wounds that needed to be cleaned and sutured, and a cloudy cornea which we'e just observing for now. In other words, she was a mess. Despite her predicament, Billie was as sweet as she could be. Her matted fur was clipped and she was shaved so her wounds could be treated, so she looks a bit silly now. But you can see what a lovely cat she will be when all her fur grows back. Billie’s purr machine works non-stop, and if we can guess what she’s telling us, it’s “Thank you for caring…I feel SO very much better now. And although I sorta miss my diet of bugs and fresh mouse, the food here isn’t all that bad?and I don’t have to work for it!? Next stop ?a good, loving indoor home. |
||

Billie JoBillie Jo's bio at the time of adoption: One-year old female, short-haired gray stripe with white around her eyes. A tad bigger than sister Bobbie Jo. Billie Jo is more of a loner and not quite as sure of people as sis, but she can be loving and, with some attention, may just learn that cuddling ain’t so bad. Will be spayed before adoption. |

BobBob's bio at the time of adoption: I'm BOB, brother of TOM. He thinks he's being so clever with that TomCat/BobCat business...hmph. Guess it IS a little amusing. Like Tom said, we look pretty much alike except that I've got just a couple of white hairs on my chest - have no idea how they got there - and some white on my belly, but not much. We were born on 12/13/02 and, I guess, are pretty big for our age. We're a super friendly pair, not at all intimidated by the adoption center, and we love to play by ourselves, with each other, especially with people. The other cats at the Center don't bother us at all, and I can't imagine us having a problem with dogs or kids. We're all round well-adjusted boys. Only one thing - as Tom said, we really want to be adopted together. We get along so well, and anyway...why settle for one when you can have twice the fun?! |
||
| ......................................................................................... |
Bobbie JoBobbie Jo's bio at the time of adoption: One-year old female, short-haired gray stripe with white muzzle and chin. Small for her age, may always be a petite kitty. Left behind with a neighbor when her family moved. Bobbie Jo is cuddly and loves to be held….a real lap kid. Will be spayed before adoption. |
||

BootsieBootsie's bio at the time of adoption: Bootsie (shown here with Sheba) is mostly black with white paws and a white stripe on her forehead. She gets more and more loving every day. Bootsie especially enjoys butting her head into your hand to get your attention and to be petted. Bootsie is Mrs. Murphy's kitten, and she was born in August of 2001. |
||
| ......................................................................................... |
BrigitBrigit's bio at the time of adoption: Brigit is a one-year old spayed female calico who is new to the Center and still trying to adjust. She acts unsure when first approached, but is very eager to be petted once you get beyond her “stay away from me” façade. According to her previous owner, Brigit is territorial around other cats, but is people friendly, loves to play “fetch” with her special stuffed mouse and is very loyal to her person. More on this pretty girl once we get to know her a little better. |
||
| ......................................................................................... |
BrummelBrummel's bio at the time of adoption: This very handsome, 1-1/2 year old, tan and white fellow was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia in February. He was cold and hungry, but otherwise healthy. A Penn State student rescued him and brought him to State College, but when she graduated, she couldn't keep him. Brummel was neutered last week, and he made such an impression on the staff at the veterinary hospital that THEY wanted to keep him! Operation or no operation, he was so affectionate, he won their hearts. Brummel is definitely a talker and, if last week's experience is any indication, a ladies' man! So come see him soon. He's gonna talk...or charm...someone into adopting him very quickly. |

| ......................................................................................... |
BuddyBuddy's bio at the time of adoption: Looking for an older guy who's been around the block once or twice? Then look no more! I'm a neutered, black and gray tiger who's almost 8 years old, but has lots of life left in me. I'm a very laid back fellow who, sadly, came to PAWS because my owner died unexpectedly. I like other cats but have never been around dogs, so I don't know whether I'd like them or not. I haven't been around children much either, but since I'm such a mellow cat, I don't think they'd bother me so long as they're not pulling my tail or trying to hurt me. If you're looking for someone who can love you as much as I can, then your search is over...you've found a Buddy! |

CandyCandy's bio at the time of adoption: Candy is a beautiful three-year old spayed tortie. She is very quiet, but loves to be petted and will squirm in ecstacy when stroked gently and lovingly. She especially likes a friendly scratch behind the ears and under her chin. Candy was born in Rebersburg (Summer 2000) and has had several litters of kittens, but she has now "retired" from the joys of mothering and just wants a quiet home where she will be the queen. |

CCCC's bio at the time of adoption: My name is CC (just that it doesn't stand for anything). I have a long, charcoal-grey coat and pretty green eyes. They tell me I'm beautiful, and I can accept that! I'm 7 years old (born March 1996), and I've been spayed, front declawed, and am up-to-date on my vaccines. I adapt very quickly to new surroundings and am very affectionate. I especially love having my long hair brushed, and since this needs to be done regularly, it's a darned good thing I REALLY enjoy it. I'm very clean in my habits, and would love to be a bed cat-if I were allowed. I like to snooze in out-of-the-way, cushy spots and I pick nice, sunny spots to watch the great outdoors. I come when I'm called and am very social, but I do tend to be possessive of my person's or family's attentions. Although I stroll amicably around the adoption center with the other cats, I'd rather not share my home with one™¾nd you'll never get me anywhere near a dog! I really want to be someone's Number One and only CC. |

CheriseCherise's bio at the time of adoption: Pretty calico, spayed female, about 5 years old. Was outside on her own for awhile, but seems quite content indoors. Cherise may be a little cool at first, but spend some time with her and she’ll capture your heart. Just turn on a computer and you will instantly have your very own techno-lap cat! Cherise is a quiet companion cat who very much wants a home of her own, preferably one with a nice window seat or two so she can keep an eye on what’s going on in the neighborhood. She thinks other cats and dogs are okay, but not really necessary! Come to the PAWS Center and take time to get to know pretty Cherise . |

ChloeChloe 's bio at the time of adoption: Chloe is a sweet, medium-gray female with a white bib. She is nicely vocal and active. Chloe and her sister, Sophie, were born around June 1998. Sophie was adopted in 2001. Chloe misses her sister and very much needs a loving home to ease her lonliness. |

DaffyDaffy's bio at the time of adoption: Daffy told us this about himself when he came to PAWS: ~{!0~}My name is ~{!0~}Daffy~{!1~} because I~{!/~}m such a rowdy, monkey-like clown who loves to entertain. I~{!/~}m a handsome, black dude with white ~{!0~}mittens~{!1~} and interesting white markings on my face. My tummy is white with a black stripe right down the middle! I~{!/~}m accustomed to being indoors at night and use my litterbox faithfully. During the day, I have a ball romping outdoors and ripping up and down a dogwood tree on my farm!~{!1~} --- Daffy is indeed a funny, fun-loving and super-friendly cat. The PAWS volunteers adore him. He has adjusted very well to being indoors, so with fun playthings, a playmate or two and ample space, he~{!/~}d probably do fine staying inside. A floor-to-ceiling tree house could be a nice substitute for his favorite dogwood tree! Daffy is one year old and is neutered. He misses sister Dottie, who found a new home almost the instant she came in the door, so you might want to consider a new female companion for ~{!0~}the Daff.~{!1~} |

DinkyDinky's bio at the time of adoption: Dinky, also known as Jeannie, is a 3-4 year old, absolutely stunning medium-haired, spayed calico. She is a very sweet, smart and loving cat who acts like a big kitten when it comes to playtime. Dinky loves to sit on her person's lap while person is reading, watching a movie, etc., and if the person happens to be female, earrings are fair game! Look out!In her previous home, Dinky learned a game called "what's under this piece of paper?" It's her favorite. Stick something like a pencil under a piece of paper and let the game begin... she'll come on in full attack mode. Second to that, she loves skidding down the hallway with her yellow catnip mouse, throwing it down the stairs, bringing it back up and starting the process all over again. Guess that means Dinky's preference for a new home would include "skiddable" flooring! As most cats, Dinky comes to life at night, snoozing away her days in a comfy spot far from the maddening crowd or curled up in a window seat watching the birds and squirrels. It would help if her new family has at least one "night person", as Dinky really doesn't like to be alone when it's her time to shine. It's a must that her new person enjoys brushing her and fluffing her face and head as much as Dinky enjoys "going to the beauty shop" each day to keep herself looking like the gorgeous calendar cat she is. |

DominoDomino's bio at the time of adoption: "My, what big feet you have, dear Domino!" "The better to keep my little 'uns in toe...er, in tow, dear PAWS person." Domino is a beautiful momcat with medium-length black fur and a white mask. She is polydactyl which, for the uninitiated, means that she has an extra toe on each paw, front and back. In fact, she has the biggest feet we've ever seen! Domino's five little 'uns were born March 19 and two already have been adopted. Of the three remaining kids, one is polydactyl like mom, but on his front feet only. Domino is a very loving kitty and is THE cat for people who like to trim nails... four extra ones to do each time! YES! |

DorothyDorothy's bio at the time of adoption: If you¡¦re an antique buff, perhaps you¡¦ve seen me at Old Fort Collectibles in Centre Hall. My name is Dorothy, and no, I wasn¡¦t in training to be a shop cat! But the wonderful owners of the antique shop allowed me to spend my weekdays there so that folks had a chance to meet me when the adoption center was closed. This also gave me freedom to run around, to greet people who came into the shop, and to play with real ¡§shop cat¡¨ who lived there. I loved it! But now Old Fort Collectibles is closed and, doggone it, I¡¦m back at the adoption center full-time. ƒ¼ I¡¦m a pretty dark tabby and white girl, close to 7 years old, spayed of course, and front declawed. I can be quite vocal, but people seem to enjoy my unique voice. I¡¦m very affectionate with people I trust, and because of all the trips back and forth to Old Fort, I¡¦ve become quite patient with the carrier routine and riding in the car. I used to hate that! I was harassed something awful by another cat in my previous home, so I¡¦d really like to be your only cat or else team up with a really mellow fellow. -- Dorothy |

DozerDozer 's bio at the time of adoption: Yup, that's me, full name Bulldozer.? I'm a really big orange and white fellow,16 pounds big! But don't let my name or my size scare you off. I will not bulldoze my way through your home leaving all your precious possessions in my path. Not at all! In fact, I'm just the opposite. I'm 8 years old (all that destructive kitten stuff long gone), neutered, no claws on the big front paws and, at this middle passage of my life, pretty much of a couch potato. I come with a small trousseau of stuff? which includes my harness and leash. You heard that right! I won't fuss at all if you wrest me from the comfy couch, put on my harness and take me for a walk. I really enjoy getting the fresh air and the exercise sure can't hurt. I'm new to the adoption center and still in that very confused "where in the heck am I and what am I doing here" state of mind. But give me a week or two and you'l see what a nice, well-behaved, loving big guy I am. Take me to your couch! I'll keep it nice and warm for you. -- DOZER |

EbonyEbony's bio at the time of adoption: EBONY, appropriately named, is black on black….a nine-month old neutered male who is shy but loving, especially with other cats and kittens. There’s not an aggressive bone in this fellow’s 10-pound body. Ebony doesn’t mind being second banana in the household and will make a wonderful companion for you and another cat. If your other cat’s a kitten, your job is done….Ebony LOVES to take care of kittens. Having a black cat enter your home is Good luck! |

EmeraldEmerald's bio at the time of adoption: 5-1/2 month old, medium-haired, orange and white male with looks a girl cat would die for! Playful, super-friendly, not at all intimidated by the newness of being at the adoption center. Will be neutered before adoption. |

EmilyEmily's bio at the time of adoption: My name is Emily, "Em" for short. I'm a 9 yr.-old spayed calico with (so I'm told) the most captivating crystal green eyes. I'm also told that I don't look or act my age....thank heavens for that. I'm very loving and affectionate, but....don't know how to say this without offending anyone....I really don't have the patience or tolerance for children or other animals. This is why I lost my previous home. Don't know what it is, but I'd be happiest with a single adult, perhaps a senior citizen. I enjoy lying in the sunlight, chasing reflections (flashlights....a laser pointer would be fun!), being brushed and petted. Occasional tuna and catnip really turn me on. I'm up-to-date on my vaccines, and this week, I'll be having my teeth made pearly white again. After that, I'm ready to meet YOU! -- Emily |

EnochEnoch 's bio at the time of adoption: Knock, knock on Enoch's door.For fun and frolic and laughs galore. Our dear little Enoch is never a bore. She's Personality Plus and a whole lot more!
Although she already celebrated her first birthday, pretty Enoch thinks she's still a kitten. She's very petite so she blends right in with the little 'uns at play, only occasionally becoming a little too rough for them. When she's given a "time out", i.e., returned to her playpen, she doesn't complain although you can tell she wonders why she's being discriminated against. If you have a soft spot in your heart for dark torties, here's one with just the right combination of fun-loving, mischievous silliness, but who’s also very sweet and well-behaved. Enoch has been spayed, is up-to-date on her vaccines, and "ready, set, go" to a family who will appreciate her delightful antics. She'd love to have a kitten as a buddy. Enoch has one special need and that is a prescription diet to help with a minor digestive problem. She may very well outgrow the need for this once she's settled in a calm, stable environment.

EowynEowyn's bio at the time of adoption: I was rescued from the cold just before Christmas with my two kids in tow. We became fondly known as The Lord of the Rings cats at PAWS, so if you're not a "Rings" fan, this explains my rather odd name~{!-~}.which is pronounced however one wishes to pronounce it! Kids Pippin and Aragorn were adopted together into a wonderful family, and I've since been spayed and am ready for something good to happen to me. I'm a petite, black and white girl, born somewhere around July 2002. And there's something v-e-r-y special about me....I'm polydactyl! What in the world, you ask, is THAT? That's just a fancy word humans use to say that I~{!/~}ve got six toes on each of my front feet....ordinary cats have just five. I'm very outgoing and affectionate. I love to rub my face into your face, snuggle up, or roll on my side, purring loudly, and gaze up into your eyes. And imagine what it's like to have your lap kneaded by a "Rings"gal with 12 toes! When you come to the adoption center, please ask for Eowyn....however you pronounce it, the volunteers will know who you mean. -- Eowyn |

FaerieFaerie's bio at the time of adoption: No, my name is not Eliza Doolittle, nevertheless, I¡¯m the fairest of fair ladies at Centre County PAWS. Professor Higgins would have a fit with the spelling of my name, but he¡¯d be hard-pressed to find something insulting to say about ME. I'm a lovely 18-month old, spayed, dilute calico, having come to PAWS with 5 kittens who all have found homes of their own. I have a sweet, gentle personality, and I speak perfect, highly cultured "Cat". That is, I speak only when spoken to...or when I'm hungry and want your attention. When I first went to a foster home, I was scared to death of the toys foster mom bought for me. I had no idea what they were or what I was supposed to do with them. I learned...and now I'm playful as a kitten. When I tire of playing, I roll over, hoping that someone will softly rub my belly. And as my way of saying thank you, I give an ever-so-gentle little bite. I still have fond (and not so fond) memories of being outdoors, so I would appreciate a couple of window seats, a screened-in porch, or some way of watching what's happening out there. Although the PAWS folks have grown accustomed to my face at the Center, I'm ready to venture out and dance all night (well not really) at your place. Please come to the Center and ask for PAWS' fair lady, Faerie. Just maybe you'll end up taking me to the street where you live. |

FluffFluff's bio at the time of adoption: Like a talker? Well, I love to verbalize and I love having you talk to me. I also love to roll on my back, do acrobatics and bounce. Why walk when you can run? Or bounce? Or pounce? I'm a petite, spayed, 8-month old whirlwind, weighing only about 6 pounds though I'm almost full-grown. When the energy wanes, and it does occasionally, what makes me happiest is sleeping cuddled up with my favorite human. I've got a plush, shimmering, long steel-gray coat and a fantastic, furr-rific tail that would make a Disney squirrel proud! So come to the PAWS adoption center and talk to me. If we can get a good conversation going (or a first-class romp), I'll have you twisted around my little paw in no time at all. You just might want to take me home! |

ForestForest's bio at the time of adoption: Brother and buff-colored look-alike of Emerald. Another calendar cat to be sure! Forest is playful, outgoing and friendly, but has one silly little phobia. He’s terrified of feather toys! Don’t know that Emerald thinks much of them either, so you’ll have to find something else with which to amuse these dear fellows. Will be neutered before adoption. |

Gentle GGentle G's bio at the time of adoption: Lookin'for a really cool cat? Come have a look at me! I'm Gentle G – the "G"stands for Giant. I'm not a giant, but I am a big guy, and as the Gentle part of my name suggests, I'm a lover. This is really something for somebody found roaming around outside, unneutered and suffering all those nasty things roaming cats suffer....like earmites, worms, etc. But a wonderful young man allowed me to camp in his garage, finding out very quickly how much of a people cat I want to be. I really liked him and he liked me, but unfortunately, he has one of those cats people call "Type A male" who didn't at all appreciate our budding relationship. So now I'm at the PAWS Center, all the wormy, mitey stuff taken care of, and looking forward (honest!) to being neutered this week. They tell me I'm a really handsome fellow – gray and cream tabby, about 18 months old – and there's just something about me that's...well....Cool! -- Gentle G |

GuyGuy's bio at the time of adoption: Hi Guy! That’s what the PAWS volunteers kept saying and I thought they were just greeting me. Now I know, I’m the Guy….I mean, that’s my moniker. I’m a neutered, year-old orange and white fellow who’s scared to death being at this place they call the “Center.” I hide behind my bed, under my bed, wherever I can go to escape. But….when someone forces me to be sociable, ya know, it ain’t half bad. I really enjoy the strokes behind the ears, the scratches under the chin. I’ll come around in time. Probably a calm, quiet home would be best for me. More later as our Guy adjusts to life at the Center. |

HagridHagrid's bio at the time of adoption: Short-haired, red tabby male with striking, very prominent markings, least frightened of the group |

HallieHallie's bio at the time of adoption: 14-week old, short-haired black female with a very small white spot on her chest. Hallie is still very frightened and has a wicked-sounding hiss, but she never strikes out. In fact, she loves to be held and petted? she’s just skittish at the initial approach. With the right person to help build her trust, Hallie will come along very quickly. |

HoppyHoppy's bio at the time of adoption: Once upon a time, there was a petite grey and white kitty named Happy Hop Along. Happy was a proud mother-to-be when tragedy struck. As the story has been told, she was struck by a car, lost her babies, and was found nearly dead by the side of the road. When she came to PAWS, Happy wasn't a happy kitty anymore, rather she was very frightened and sad. Because her leg had been injured in the accident, leaving her with a limp, she was renamed "HOPPY". Our first and foremost goal was to make 3 yr. old, 6-1/2 lb. HOPPY happy again. Oh, but not so fast. On examination by the vet, we learned that HOPPY is with kitten again and very close to delivery. Let's hope that being a mom will restore her courage and her once very sweet and happy disposition. More as HOPPY's story unfolds. Click here for an update. |

KelsoKelso's bio at the time of adoption: KELSO is a slate grey neutered male, born in August 2002. He and his brother, Kenevan, are new to the Center and are still a bit overwhelmed with the environment. They huddle together in their cuddle cup like two peas in a pod...but please don't pass them by. A little attention goes a long, long way. Talk to them and pet them and you can feel the tension melt away. Kelso is a gentle, laid back fellow who enjoys playing with balls, dangly rope and pens. He loves to have his neck scratched, and especially enjoys taking treats from your hand. Kelso and Kenevan enjoy each other's company so much that they would love to be adopted together into a quiet, loving new home. |

KenevanKenevan's bio at the time of adoption: KENEVAN is a grey, one-year old, neutered male, slightly lighter in color than his brother Kelso. Kenevan is blind in one eye and probably has been since birth, but this in no way prevents him from getting around and doing anything he wants to do. Like Kelso, he is shy at the adoption center (it IS a scary place for newcomers), but in a home environment he's very playful. Kenevan loves to run and jump with his brother and enjoys the same toys (balls, dangly rope and pens) and treats. Kenevan likes to have his belly and tailbone scratched. He, too, tells us that he'd really like to stay with his brother, so we're looking for one gentle home wanting to double the fun with two gentle, fun-loving young fellows. |

KennedyKennedy's bio at the time of adoption: Sitting straight, tall and majestic, Kennedy rode into town atop a gleaming chariot drawn by a team of magnificent stallions. It was a magical mythical moment, nay..."don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot."Okay, okay, we're making this up...sort of. Cat Kennedy did ride into town sitting straight, tall and...well...the truth be, precariously perched on the roof of a not-so-gleaming chariot known to commoners as a pickup truck! When Robyn Grabowski of Centre Wildlife happened upon the chariot and its passenger at the intersection of Pike and Elmwood Streets in Lemont, she honked, shouted and waved frantically, finally persuading the charioteer to pull over. The startled driver had no idea where the 9-month old tabby had come from, nor when he possibly could have climbed aboard. He'd driven from Stormstown (more than 5 miles away!), making only one brief stop. The good fortunes of Camelot must have been with Cat Kennedy (so named because his sojourn occurred just days before the 40th anniversary of JFK's final one). How he remained for even one brief shining moment atop his chariot is truly a feat of mythical proportion.
PAWS has been unable to locate the owner of this wonderful cat, so Kennedy is now available for adoption. He is delightful, friendly, affectionate and playful…and he will be neutered before he sallies forth again! Bring this lucky young fellow into your home...his good fortune just may become yours! ("Shining moment" quotation, JFK's favorite, stolen from the closing lines of the Broadway musical "Camelot").

LeroyLeroy's bio at the time of adoption: "Bad, bad Leroy Brown, baddest cat in the..." Now WAIT-A-MINUTE! I'm LEROY alright and I'm honored someone wrote a song about me, but let's get this straight. I'm a very GOOD cat! I'd better help the songwriter out. "Good, dear Leroy Brown, goodest cat in the whole PAWS town. He could charm old King Kong... he could tame the junkyard dawg!" That's better... and it swings! Seriously, I AM a good guy and if you like a talker, I like to talk (you can bet I’d simply yak that old ape and the pooch into submission -:) I'm a neutered male orange tabby, about 3 years old. I've been outside a lot, but would much prefer being indoors. I get along well with other cats and love human attention. I came to PAWS with a chronic snuffly nose, but the PAWS folks are trying to fix me up. Unfortunately, my doctor thinks I had a bad, bad cold when I was a kid that might have permanently damaged my nasal passages. This could mean that I'll always be a snuffly boy….not sick, just prone to periods of increased snooties. If the doc is right, I certainly hope this won't deter someone from taking me home. After all, I’m famous, and I’m a very... Good Leroy |

LuluLulu's bio at the time of adoption: Watch me do somersaults and rollovers! Yippee! Rub my belly to make me purr. I'm a 2-1/2 year old steel gray, spayed female with a white chest. You'd never know my age because I still feel and act like a kitten. I and ten of my siblings lost our owner unexpectedly and are now looking for new homes. I like other cats but haven't been around dogs. Since my personality is so outgoing, children shouldn't be a problem for me. In fact, I'd probably like them...'specially if they'll do somersaults and rollovers with me! Come to the Paws adoption center, ask for LuLu, and TAKE ME HOME! |

MaggieMaggie's bio at the time of adoption: I’m pretty Maggie. My coat, as you see, is long, sleek and black, but what you don’t see is my shimmering light silver undercoat. I’m a spayed female who was born in August 2001. I’d been settled in my home for just about a year when my dad received orders of deployment with the National Guard. This makes me very sad, ‘cause I loved my home and I especially loved my dad’s lap. But…..he must go serve our country, and I need to find a new lap! I’m playful and very loving, but most of all I love a lap. Got an empty one? -- Maggie |
