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
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
Will work for food. Yeah, “work” means being cute, playing with yarn balls, and soaking up attention. I’m Hobo, an adult tabby guy who moseyed onto a property on Halloween. Good choice, fella. It turns out she fosters cats for Paws and Claws! I’m not really a fan of being held, but that’s not something I was used to. I could probably learn to like it with a lot of practice though. My foster mom said that I get a little “jerky” with other cats, but because I was out on my own, I hadn’t been in a home with other cats either. I got sick too – I wasn’t used to eating good, nutritious food on a regular basis. There were so many things that were different from “living rough.” She loves watching me play. I toss those little yarn balls up in the air and just watch them fall to the floor. That’s it. Over and over. Up and down. If you’re patient, and you’d like to continue my education as an indoor cat, introducing me to new toys, “luxuries,” and more tender loving care, I’ll be happy to be your Hobo guy.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
You know how certain insects are drawn to light? I’m that kind of light. I’m Elaine – my name means “bright shining light.” I’m an adult calico who was found in St. Charles, and I have been staying in a foster home since December 26. I pretty much like all cats, “even the ones who are jerks” to me, according to my foster mom. I am nervous in new places and might hide, but once I know you, I am such a good girl. I love to eat, and my calorie intake should be watched so that I don’t gain too much weight. I’m a delightful girl who is ready to let my light shine brightly when I go home to be your beloved Elaine.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
Jasmine (and Alice) are available for viewing at VCA Cascade Animal Medical Center. Jasmine is a beautiful flower that grows in tropical and warm climates. It represents love and grace. I’m a lovely adult female named Jasmine. I was surrendered to Rochester Animal Control along with another kitty from my home, Alice. I am a quiet but friendly girl, and I like to be petted. This is a big change for us, and while it is not required that we be adopted together, it may be easier for us to adapt to a new home environment if we can stay together. In some cultures, the jasmine flower also represents new beginnings. With the love of a caring family, I will adjust and be a happy Jasmine kitty. Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

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 no longer have to live in a kennel and have settled into a home of my own, without so many other cats around, it is hoped that I will calm down. Then the only fire this dragon will breathe will be the sparks of love. Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax
