Spayed or Neutered,

Story

What's not to love about Valerie? From her black-and-white bandit mask, to her absolutely adorable seal impression, all the way to her introverted nature, she is a perfect cat. Valerie first came into the care of Paws and Claws in April of 2025, and has been looking for her forever home since then. When she first arrived at her foster home, Valerie was clearly scared -- she hid away from humans, and rebuked their attempts at kindness. Over the 487 days since her arrival, she has blossomed into a totally different cat. While she doesn't seek out cuddles, she does accept polite headscratches. Valerie isn't the type of cat to curl up into your lap, but she will sit on the back of the couch while you're watching TV, or lay at the foot of the bed as you read. If you're lucky, you may even wake up one morning and notice that she's curled up right next to you, happily snoozing away. She will greet you at the door when you come home, and let out demanding little meows when she wants her favorite snacks, peanut butter or cheese. Valerie has settled into the housecat life so well that she has favorite foods. She feels safe enough to ask her humans for them, too. Valerie's perfect person will need to be someone calm, who respects her need for independence. In return, she promises to keep you safe by monitoring the outside world through the windows, and letting you know when birds or squirrels pass by. Valerie won't be everyone's perfect cat, but she doesn't have to be. She just needs one person to see the perfect companion she already is -- one person to give this senior gal the chance she deserves. Valerie is 10 years old. She would do best in an adults-only home.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Siena is a petite sweetheart with a gorgeous tri-colored soft coat, ready for pets! When she's happy and engaged, she adorably wags her tail like a dog. She's an interactive cat, who loves to express herself with happy little chirps. When you come home after being away, she greets you at the door and keeps up her end of the conversation, filling you in on what's been going on as you've been away with her meows. Siena is always up for toy-time and enjoys chasing games -- if you want to play with her, she'll never say no, but she can make her own fun chasing toys from one end of the room to the other. When you meet her, give her some scritches on her head and ears -- you'll get some very satisfied chirps! Siena is 6.5 years old.

Story

This supergroup of kittens is ready to rock your world! Meet Crosby, Nash, Stills, and Young! Crosby is a total sweetheart who loves to play, but also enjoys lap and snuggle time. In three words, he is quiet, confident, and bold! Nash is a lovebug, with two little beauty marks on his adorable face. He often greets new people with a gentle rub against their legs, and a jump into an available lap. Once he has your attention, he purrs loudly to announce his satisfaction. Also quiet and confident, he enjoys playing and exploring new spaces. Stills is anything but still! He is a high-energy kitten that absolutely loves to pounce and play, especially with his brothers. When it's time to settle down, he will often lay beside his favorite person for a well-earned nap. Young is a total cutie, and with his long-haired tabby coat and loving green eyes, we're sure he's going to become a handsome adult. He is curious and confident, and loves romping and playing with his brothers and pouncing on new toys. All in all, each and every one of these boys is perfect! Young is 2 months old. Due to his age, he must go home with another cat, or to a home which already has a cat residing in it.

Story

Splish and Splash are two teensy kittens, ready to meow and mew their way into your heart!

Splish is 2 months old. Due to his age, he must go home with another cat, or to a home which already has another cat residing in it.
