Story

Don’t you love the feel of a cat’s fur? Mine is white and tabby, a nice brown color. I’m called Tucker. Did you know that the name Tucker means “cloth softener” or “cloth weaver”? I’m especially glad for my coat because I am one of 18 cats who were left in the parking lot of a boat store in December 2024! We were left together in 2 carriers/containers. A rescue group brought us to Paws and Claws, where could be safe, warm, and receive the care and attention we need and deserve. I was adopted in April, but unfortunately I was returned to the shelter recently because my people were moving and could not take me along. I appreciate attention and petting, and I started playing a bit my first day here. When you meet me, please touch. Please pet. Please talk to me. I’d love to have people spend time with me. I hope that someday soon I can be someone’s very own Tucker boy. Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

Remember “Finding Nemo”? I’m a tuxedo kitty, and I’ve never seen a movie, but I’ll bet you have. Dory’s a fish. Dory said, “When life gets you down do you wanna know what you’re gonna do? Just keep swimming.” Easy for a fishy fish to say! I’m a kitty cat. But I guess I understand. I was found as a stray and was brought to the Carriage House Vet Clinic in Kasson. Then I came to Paws and Claws so I can find a forever home. Since I got moved to a new room here, it’s been taking me a while to adjust. I feel most secure when I am in a hiding place. Normally, I am good with other cats and like to play. Don’t worry. I won’t “drown.” I will tread water. I will swim. Before you know it, I’ll be diving in! Splashing and having a ball! No one can keep Dory down! You’ll see! You will love Dory, and we’ll get along swimmingly.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

Mark your calendars. There’s a Tortoiseshell Appreciation Day; it’s April 17! But it should be every day! I’m Catherine, one of a large group of cats plus other animals who came to Paws and Claws from another rescue in early September. I had originally been found as a stray, and I live up to the tortoiseshell’s reputation. I am a highly spirited girl, full of spunk and sparks. Do you remember the moral of the fable about the tortoise and the hare? Slow and steady wins the race. If you are to win me over, I will require patience and understanding. If you can purr-severe, I will sense your compassion. Love wins. When love wins. I win. I deserve love. We all do. Catherine.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

Hey, everyone, Teresa here. Since I arrived here in December with 17 other “T Cats,” I’ve been trying to “bloom” where I’ve been “planeted.” Ha! My name comes from a Latin word that means “earth.” It hasn’t been easy. The whole bunch of us were found in a couple of kennels in a parking lot, so many of us are still rather shy but allow some petting if approached slowly. Quite a few of our friends have been adopted, but five of us are still waiting for our forever homes. We’ve made a lot of progress. We’re active, playful young cats. I’m a 2-year-old brown/orange tabby girl who loves playing chase games with the other cats. We all love wand toys and even that doggone laser light! One of our favorite things is Churu! If you want to be our hero, bring squeeze up treats! You’ll be mobbed! We have access to kibble round the clock, and when we get canned food – Fancy Feast or Friskies – that’s exciting too. I’ll be even more excited to be transplanted so I can blossom in a new environment, a forever home as your pretty, young Teresa kitty!Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story

“If you are very strong, you must also be very kind.” – Pippi Longstocking. I would love to go home with someone who is very kind. People here are very caring. I’m Pippi and I am estimated to be around 1 year old. I came to Paws and Claws from another rescue with two other kittens, Monkey and Jesse. I tend to be a little bashful, but I`ll be thrilled if you pet me. I like to talk, and I like to play too. I get along well with other cats, especially my friend Attica, so I might like having kitty companions in my new home. I’ll be meowing, “Yippy skippy!” when you adopt me to be your darling Pippi!

Story

Are you looking for a lover boy? I’m George, a handsome, medium-haired boy who came to Paws and Claws from a rescue partner. I’m friendly and love being petted. I’m playful, but my behavior can be unpredictable. It would be best if my adopter is cat-savvy and the home has older children or adults only. “Always be yourself, unless you can be a dragon, then be a dragon.”- “Tease Me”. Once I have settled in more, and now that I have been neutered, it is hoped that I will calm down. Then the only fire this dragon will breathe will be the sparks of love.
