Cats at PAWS
Here’s four year old June. She came to the shelter with her BFF Phoebe, and won’t be leaving without her.

Volunteers snip a few sprigs for the shelter cats on their way into the building.

Safety in Numbers
We were doing a small but noisy catification project in the hall outside the kittens’ room last week. When we looked in to see if they minded the construction noise, this is what we saw.
PAWS still has many charming and friendly kittens waiting for homes!
