Vivian is a female Domestic Shorthair and Tortoiseshell mixed kitty who is just under 1 year old.Some cats wait for life to happen. Vivian makes it happen.She is confident, curious, and likes to know what's going on. Whether she's supervising your daily routine, inspecting your latest project, or reminding you that it's time for attention, Vivian is happy to take charge.Don't mistake her leadership skills for being bossy—she simply knows what she wants, and one of those things is being part of your world.

Story
During the entire month of August, we will be having a Clear the Shelters event.This means half-price adoptions! Cats will be $50 and Dogs will be $75. Tapatio is a male Domestic Shorthair and Tabby mixed kitten.This little guy is always ready for fun, whether he's chasing toys, wrestling with his siblings, or investigating things he probably shouldn't be.The funniest part? Tapatio has figured out that purring is a great way to get out of trouble. Caught red-pawed? No problem—he'll turn on the motor and flash that sweet face, and suddenly all is forgiven!When the excitement winds down, Tapatio is happy to trade zoomies for snuggles. He's the perfect mix of playful mischief and affectionate charm, and he's looking for a forever family that appreciates both.If your home could use a little spice, a lot of laughs, and a kitten who knows exactly how to work his magic, Tapatio is ready to purr his way into your heart.Tapatio is currently in a great foster home with his siblings.He is described as a 'Party Animal'. I'm a cat on a mission: PARTY! I love to play and explore and test my limits. I'd love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils, post-it notes, potatoes. If you're looking for some laughs and someone to liven up the party, think about inviting me. It is recommended that whenever you add a new animal to your household, it is done with a slow and monitored introduction.Adoption fees:Cats - $105 for one or only $150 for two!Dogs - $155For more information on this animal contact washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comor call 319-653-6713All our animals have been spayed/neutered (or will be arranged if currently too young).Dogs will be tested for heart worms, vaccinated against distemper/parvo and rabies.We recommend crate training until you’re confident that your dog is used to his/her new home. For more information visit: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/weekend-crate-training.Cats will be vaccinated against feline distemper and feline parvo, and have been wormed. All animals will be bathed and treated for fleas/ear mites. Microchipping will take place at the time of adoption.For an application to adopt, go to:https://www.pawsandmorewashington.org/adoptIf you cannot currently adopt, donations are ALWAYS welcome via our website Donate Now button at pawsandmorewashington.org Or mail to:PAWS and More Animal Shelter 1004 1/2 West Madison, Washington, IA 52353To sponsor an animal, emailwashingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comor call 319-653-6713.Hours:Monday closedTuesday thru Sunday noon to 4 Get directions at:washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comTo foster an animal (any length of time), complete the questionnaire atpawsandmorewashington.org/foster

Story
During the entire month of August, we will be having a Clear the Shelters event.This means half-price adoptions! Cats will be $50 and Dogs will be $75. Dynasty aka Penelope is a female Domestic Shorthair kitty who is about 5.5 years old.Penelope may look like she's judging your life choices from across the room, but don't let that grumpy face fool you.Life at the shelter can be stressful, and we suspect some of Penelope's famous "attitude" is simply her way of coping with all the changes. She's the kind of cat who prefers to take things at her own pace. Give her a little time, a little space, and a lot of patience, and you'll discover the loving cat hiding beneath that serious expression.If you appreciate cats with a little personality, a little sass, and a lot of potential, Penelope could be the perfect match. All she needs is someone willing to see past her grumpy exterior and give her the chance to shine.She is described as a 'Love Bug'. Do you seek affection? I do! If you also like petting, purrs, and paws kneading your lap, I think we might have a LOT in common. I'm looking for "someone who enjoys quiet times and togetherness." Could that someone be you? It is recommended that whenever you add a new animal to your household, it is done with a slow and monitored introduction.Adoption fees:Cats - $105 for one or only $150 for two!Dogs - $155For more information on this animal contact washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comor call 319-653-6713All our animals have been spayed/neutered (or will be arranged if currently too young).Dogs will be tested for heart worms, vaccinated against distemper/parvo and rabies.We recommend crate training until you’re confident that your dog is used to his/her new home. For more information visit: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/weekend-crate-training.Cats will be vaccinated against feline distemper and feline parvo, and have been wormed. All animals will be bathed and treated for fleas/ear mites. Microchipping will take place at the time of adoption.For an application to adopt, go to:https://www.pawsandmorewashington.org/adoptIf you cannot currently adopt, donations are ALWAYS welcome via our website Donate Now button at pawsandmorewashington.org Or mail to:PAWS and More Animal Shelter 1004 1/2 West Madison, Washington, IA 52353To sponsor an animal, emailwashingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comor call 319-653-6713.Hours:Monday closedTuesday thru Sunday noon to 4 Get directions at:washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comTo foster an animal (any length of time), complete the questionnaire atpawsandmorewashington.org/foster

Story
During the entire month of August, we will be having a Clear the Shelters event.This means half-price adoptions! Cats will be $50 and Dogs will be $75. Mink aka Martha is a female Domestic Shorthair kitty who is about 10 years old.This gentle girl is a PAWS alum who recently found herself back at the shelter after the other cats in her home began bullying her over the last several months.Mink is incredibly sweet and affectionate, though she’s understandably been a little shy while adjusting to such a big change. After having her world turned upside down, she’s taking things one day at a time and hoping for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished again.This lovely senior girl deserves a soft place to land and a family who will help her enjoy her golden years surrounded by comfort, kindness, and love. If you’re looking for a quiet companion with a gentle heart, Mink may be the perfect match.She is described as a 'Love Bug'. Do you seek affection? I do!

Story
During the entire month of August, we will be having a Clear the Shelters event.This means half-price adoptions! Cats will be $50 and Dogs will be $75. Hushpuppy is a male Domestic Shorthair adult kitty.Some cats ask for the spotlight. Hushpuppy would rather share it.He may be a little shy at first, but behind those gentle eyes is one of the biggest hearts we've ever seen. Hushpuppy has taken on the role of surrogate dad to our tiniest kittens, happily curling up with them, keeping them warm, and offering them comfort whenever they need it. Watching him snuggled up with babies who aren't even his is enough to melt anyone's heart.Now it's Hushpuppy's turn to be cared for.He's looking for a patient family who will give him the time to blossom and the love he's so freely given to others. We know that once he feels safe, he'll become the quiet, loyal companion you've always hoped for.After spending so much of his time comforting little ones, we think it's time someone showed Hushpuppy just how loved he is. Could that someone be you?He is described as a 'Secret Admirer'. When it comes to relationships, I'm very level-headed. I don't leap in paws first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I'll shower you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not see a lot of me, but I'll be thinking a lot of you! It is recommended that whenever you add a new animal to your household, it is done with a slow and monitored introduction.Adoption fees:Cats - $105 for one or only $150 for two!Dogs - $155For more information on this animal contact washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comor call 319-653-6713All our animals have been spayed/neutered (or will be arranged if currently too young).Dogs will be tested for heart worms, vaccinated against distemper/parvo and rabies.We recommend crate training until you’re confident that your dog is used to his/her new home. For more information visit: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/virtual-pet-behaviorist/dog-behavior/weekend-crate-training.Cats will be vaccinated against feline distemper and feline parvo, and have been wormed. All animals will be bathed and treated for fleas/ear mites. Microchipping will take place at the time of adoption.For an application to adopt, go to:https://www.pawsandmorewashington.org/adoptIf you cannot currently adopt, donations are ALWAYS welcome via our website Donate Now button at pawsandmorewashington.org Or mail to:PAWS and More Animal Shelter 1004 1/2 West Madison, Washington, IA 52353To sponsor an animal, emailwashingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comor call 319-653-6713.Hours:Monday closedTuesday thru Sunday noon to 4 Get directions at:washingtonpawsandmore1978@gmail.comTo foster an animal (any length of time), complete the questionnaire atpawsandmorewashington.org/foster
