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!

Looking for a loyal cuddelbug! Jacqui is a two year old affectionate girl with the most piercing yellow eyes. She was a momma rescued as a stray by PALS before the recent cold snap. She’s not a fan of other cats, but she definitely wants all your attention to herself. Her purr is wondrous (her motor starts the minute she greets you!) and her head butts are so filled with love. Jacqui is quite playful with ribbons and wands (she has been known to bring you the toy she wants to play with!), and will melt your heart with her belly flips.

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 incredibly shy but is progressing step by step to becoming the energetic cat we know he is inside.  While he mostly stays to himself right now, he’s been adventuring out, climbing his cat tree and playing with his favorite toy, even head bumping those he’s very close with and even letting visitors now pet him a little. Chickpea has an adoper and will be going to his new home in a few weeks.

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.

Suzie Q is a one year old sassy girl who came to us through PALS. Not shy at all, her purr-sonality is full of playfulness and hungering for attention. She has white patches similar to the black and white pattern of a cow. She still gets overstimulated by too many pets, so we are giving her plenty of wand play time! Recently, she has started getting on laps and his enjoying having visitors take her for rides outside in her pink backpack. Bonus: it’s really fun to sing the Suzie Q song as you interact with her ) Suzie Q. has an approved adopter and will be going to her fur-ever home in a few weeks.

Meet sweet and tiny 1 year old Mimi who was rescued by the volunteers at PAWS Wakefield along with her kittens. Mimi started off as quite heistant, but has gotten more confident with every passing day, accepting pets and playing with the wand toy.

Simon was rescued by PALS as a stray along with Jacqui before a recent cold snap. He is approximately 1 year old, a little shy, preferring to stay holed up in a little cubby than go out and explore. But even if he prefers to stay cozy by himself, he does appreciate a human giving him some love and care. If you take it slow, and let him get to know you first, he’ll gladly accept pats and scritches of all varieties. While only just learning to come out and see the world for himself, with enough encouragement from a human friend, he should learn soon enough that there’s a lot to see out there. You never know what can happen when you give a kitty a chance. Simon has an approved adopter and will be going to his forever home in a few weeks.

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.

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.
