Story
Heather flowers symbolize good luck, protection, and resilience. I’m a young kitten named Heather. I’m one of seven kittens who came to Paws and Claws from a farm property near Elgin. Farms and farmers need a lot of luck, resilience, and protection, and so do kittens! I am the shyest of the bunch, but I do like being petted once I feel comfortable. I like playing with my siblings. We have lots of energy! We love batting toys, running, chasing, and wrestling. We each might like having a kitty friend to play with when we go to our new homes. I’m a beautiful medium-haired girl who’d love to be your sweet Heather. Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
“Tarot cards are like a compass when you are lost. But it only works when you get them out of the box.” – (C. Wong). I’m Tarot, an adult cat with a big personality and plenty of energy to spare. I came to Paws and Claws from a rescue partner. In unfamiliar places with people I don’t know, I tend to keep my distance and make it clear when I need space. I might let you know with a hiss or a swat if you get too close. I can get riled up, and I need some time to calm down. Having said all this, I hope this information won’t put me in a box, so to speak. With time, patience, and understanding, I can adapt and grow. A home with a calm, predictable environment would help me feel more at ease. When I know and trust someone, I am quite friendly, and I love being petted. I would do best with a cat-savvy person(s) who understands cats and will allow me to set my own boundaries. Once we get to know one another, I’ll be it will all work out fine. What does the future hold? I’m Tarot. Maybe you will be my compass. Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
“Sweet as the morning, smile like the sunshine…” (“Billy Dale” by Dolly Parton). Aww…I am a sweet buff tabby kitten called Billy Dale, after a song by the fabulous Dolly Parton. I am one of three kittens who came from another rescue to Paws and Claws with our momma Jolene. I am nervous and hissy in unfamiliar places until I feel comfortable. I do like to be petted, and I love to play. My siblings and I have fun chasing each other, and we like toys. Do kitties smile? We do, at least on the inside! You’ll smile, too, because I’m a lovable boy, and I can’t wait to be your Billy Dale! Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
“Hurricane Joe”? Is that me? Is that why I have the wounds on my head, shoulders, and legs? It IS the name of one of the many books in Franklin W. Dixon’s Hardy Boy Mystery series. I am named after the younger of the two brothers in the famous series. I was living outdoors with my brother Frank when we were found in Austin. Life is tough when you’re living rough. I am being treated for my wounds to prevent infection. We were relieved and happy to be fed, and our finder said that we liked playing with toys. She said we really need to be in a home where someone will take good care of us. Frank and I were nervous when we got here and startled at sudden movements, but we’re friendly, affectionate guys. We both love pets. After all we’ve been through together, we’ve become bonded to each other. We’d like to be adopted together. Who could split up the Hardy Boys?! Come in and get to know Frank and Joe!Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
If you are looking for a gentle, friendly dolly, please meet Jolene. I’m a sweet calico momma who came from a rescue partner to Paws and Claws with my three kittens. My kittens are playful and spicy, but I tend to be on the quiet side. I like to take things as they come, playing it slow and easy until I feel safe. I prefer to set my own boundaries with people, and if I am approached too quickly by people I don’t know, I may be hissy. As I begin to feel more comfortable, I’ll become more confident. I’ll probably do best in a household with patient adopters who will allow me to adjust at my own pace. I’m a lovely girl, and I know that when I feel at home, I will always love you! Your Jolene!

Story
3.14159…That might be my code name if I were an agent on “Get Smart” – sort of like Agent 86 and 99. Sorry about that, Chief. I`m Pi, a black cat who was found on Eastwood Golf Course in SE Rochester on 3/14, otherwise known as Pi Day. If you’re a math teacher, I’ll bet you have lots of fun on March 14. What do you have for dessert? Chocolate Pi? I’m a black cat, but please, I’m not quite ready for kisses. Do you know what’s wrong with the equation “Pi R squared”? You do, don’t you? Pi R round! I’m not square either. I was adopted at the end of April, but my new home was not a good match for me, so now I`m back at the shelter. I’m feeling – uh – out of sorts, I guess you could say. I’m normally a friendly guy, but coming back to the shelter has thrown me for a loop. It is taking me a while to adjust, but I’ll figure it out. I’m a friendly 2-year-old boy. You might even find out that I’m sweet, like that chocolate Pi. Please be patient with me. I’m still settling in, but I’m a wonderful cat, and I’d love to be your Pi guy.
