Bringing a cuddly, appealing bundle of fur (and purr) into your home is exciting, whether the kitten is your first or an addition to your current pet family. Your kitten will be entirely reliant on you to ease the transition from mom cat’s side or animal shelter to this strange new place.
Shamu was brought into the Ark a few weeks ago in critical condition. A lady in town had been feeding him. He was in deplorable shape. His tail was so matted he couldn’t even lift it. He was not neutered and his mouth — well, there are no words.
Beautiful Bella says it’s her time to shine. She is not only adorable but has personality as well. This lovable little ginger was found as a stray and has been charming volunteers and getting along well with all the other cats at PAWS. She is quite playful but also just loves to lounge and be […]
Ashes is a sweet, relaxed boy with a gentle temperament. He is about a year old and was rather thin when taken in. He did have quite a bit of matting so his belly was shaved to make him more comfortable. He seems to enjoy the company of other cats, loves to play with the […]

You can’t buy love but you can certainly rescue it. That is exactly what Rhaja is longing for. He was out on his own for a while and was timid and untrusting when he first came to PAWS. But he is adapting well. This good-natured fellow is also very gentle and submissive with all the […]
World Spay Day is always the fourth Tuesday in February, which this year falls on Feb. 28. This is a good reminder of how important it is to have your pets altered before any surprise litters can make an appearance.
