Bonjour Kitty! This five year old girl was surrendered to PALS by her family who could no longer care for her. She clearly loves attention from people, playing with the mouse wand, and strutting around her gorgeousness. We asked our Emilie, our French Canadian vet tech, to come up with a French name that befits her beauty and sass so we are now calling her Madeleine! Expect fancy cookies to celebrate her arrival :) Madeleine would probably do best as an only pet in a home where she could soak up all your attention and meow in French!

Lex is a dapper older gentleman who enjoys looking sharp in his fancy bow ties!  He came to us in rough shape with many health issues including diabetes, arthritis, and irritable bowel.  This made some basic cat activities like walking and jumping or even grooming difficult. You could tell he just didn't feel well.  A change of diet to a novel protein diet (consisting of rabbit, duck, venison, and even alligator - $600/month!) and an injection for his arthritis has Lex feeling like a new kitty!  This 14 year old miracle boy takes his insulin without issue, has put on weight, and is now walking, jumping, demanding his yummy food, and snoozing in cozy spots. He feels so much better!  With his expert biscuit making and soulful eyes, he is sure to steal your heart, just as he has stolen ours.

Chickpea is slowly but surely making progress towards adoption.  A stray who was rescued and fostered by PAWS Wakefield for 4 months, he’s shy but is progressing step by step to becoming the energetic cat we know he is inside.  He now regularly adventures out, climbing his cat tree and playing with his favorite toy, wrestling with his buddies, and even head bumping those he’s very close with. He will now even letting visitors now pet him a little.

Linus is a sweet 10 year old boy who's been through a rough time.  He came to us after his elderly owner was no longer able to care for him and he was quite timid, underweight, and had severe ear infections. Since then he has begun to blossom!  While he especially enjoys curling up in a soft bed, preferably in the sun, he has also started playing with wand toys and seeking attention. And people are happy to give him that attention and pet his soft soft fur.  One person even made him his own soft blue blanket... but even that can't compare with his pretty fur.  Linus has some Scottish Fold DNA and his ears require frequent cleaning and care to prevent further infections.  He is also FIV+ but he can still live a long happy life with proper care, even with other cats, as FIV can only be transferred through a deep prolonged bite. One look at his sweet face and crumpled ears, and one pet of his soft fur, and you will surely fall in love. Linus has an approved adopter (and his own social media page!) and will be going to his furr-ever home in a few weeks.

Mimi is a sweet one year old cat who was brought into the cafe by PAWS. She has been a mom already, and came to us extremely shy. She has continuously become more brave during her time at the cafe. Even though she is quite the introvert she is starting to break out of her shell. Mimi has been enjoying pets and playing with toys.

Nona is a cute little one-year-old rescued by PAWS animal rescuers during the brush fires from under a porch, along with all her kittens.  She can be easily recognized by the little orange mark on her head, or in other words a marmalade spot.  Even all of her kittens have a marmalade spot!  Nona is rather shy, minding her own business in a comfy place rather than going out and exploring or socializing with other cats.  However, she does love human contact, and will gladly accept pats or scritches from a kind person.  She’s also rather fond of playing with cat toys, even if she does it without leaving her hidey-hole.  It’s only a matter of time before this sweetheart decides to come out and about.  

Time to brush up on your Italian! Meet Micio, whose name translates to ‘pussycat’ in Italian. He is a two year old, super active and affectionate boy who was rescued as a stray. Very vocal and playful, all this gentle giant wants is your attention (and unlimited food!) He is also FIV+ but he can still live a long happy life with proper care, even with other cats, as FIV can only be transferred through a deep prolonged bite.

Prepare for the Energizer Bunny in orange-white kitty form! Reed is a one year old adventurer who was rescued as a stray by PALS. He rarely stops moving and playing, except for maybe a snack, a quick jump on your lap, or a cat nap. The big question on his mind is: “When are you going to play with me again?” He has also discovered a fondness for running water and can be found batting around the water in the sink and the fountains. Reed has an approved adopter and will be going to his fur-ever home in a few weeks.

Tiger is a talkative 1 year old boy with mesmerizing patterns on his coat. He was brought to us by PAWS when his owner could no longer take care of him. Although a bit anxious at first, it is likely he will claim your lap and not let you leave. Tiger is quite the explorer and views every closed door as a challenge. Tiger has an approved adopter and will be going to his furr-ever home in a few weeks.

Dexter is a sweet 2 year old who was rescued as a stray by PALS during a recent cold snap. For a cat who was pretty scarred and roughed up outside, he exhibits the sweetest purr-sonality. Dexter loves pets and headrubs and has even shown that he can sit on laps for a bit. We’re still working on building on his confidence, getting his coat soft and shiny, and figuring out what his favorite toys are. But we already know that he will be an amazing companion to whoever adopts him.

Darryl is a one year old boy who is super eager to be here. He is very playful and loves to chase wands. He has already been a dad and came to us from PAWS. He loves attention and all of the visitors that come into the cafe. Darryl loves to show off his gymnastics skills to his adoring audience. This sleek boy is always ready for a treat!
