Story
“Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.” – Maya Angelou. My name, Ellie, means “bright, shining one.” I tend to be nervous in unfamiliar places. I am only about a year old and was a stray who had become shut in a warehouse. My rescuer said that I am a quiet girl who likes listening to music and to people’s voices. Although I was scared when I arrived at the shelter, I would come to the front of my kennel and allow petting and stroking with the stick part of a wand toy. I will need some time to settle in, but maybe if people take time to speak to me and maybe play some pretty music for me, I will feel safe and calm. That will help bring out the light I have inside me, for I am Ellie, a bright, shining, beautiful girl. Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
In the picture books angels have wings and halos. But some angels have whiskers, fur, and paws. I’m Angelica, a 4-year-old, tabby kitty who came to Paws and Claws from a rescue partner back in February! I may have been overlooked because it took me a while to settle in, and I’m not really a “lap cat.” That doesn’t mean I’m not a sweet, lovable girl. I am! I used to swat, but I don’t do that anymore. I’m much more content now. I like being petted. Will you pet me? Guess what else I like! I like running water! I walk back and forth on the counter drinking water out of the faucet as I pass by. I’ll even jump into the sink while the water is running! I don’t mind getting all wet. What’s not to love about a cat with a personality like mine? How about this: You can be my guardian angel, and I will be your sweet Angelica kitty! I do have some special health needs. Anyone interested in adopting me should speak to an adoption counselor to get more information. Apply online to adopt Angelica.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
Life can have its ups and downs, can’t it? After my owner died, her granddaughter went all the way to Indiana, where I had lived with my person since she found me as a stray. She had me vaccinated, spayed, and front declawed. The granddaughter brought me home with her, but she couldn’t keep me. My name is Lil Bit. I can be a lil bit sweet and a lil bit salty. I am used to a very quiet, laid back life. I like to have my space, and I can be sassy. The granddaughter believes that I would do best in a home where there are no younger children, or possibly with a couple or with a single person. She thinks that an active household would be a bit too much for me. I have already experienced difficult changes; going from a quiet environment to a faraway home is one, then coming to a busy shelter is another. I think she’s right; I would prefer a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. If you’re even a “lil bit” interested in adopting me, please come in so we can get to know one another. I’d love to have a home where I can be someone’s lovely, lovable Lil Bit once again.Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
Do you remember the Teletubbies? I’m Po, named for the red Teletubby who loved her scooter. Po`s favorite object is her blue and bright pink scooter, which she calls `Po cooter!` or just `cooter.` I’m a black kitten who came with my three siblings, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Tinky Winky from another rescue. I’m a gentle kitten who will find a comfy perch close to the action where I can watch people and other cats. I’m sweet and easygoing, and I like gentle, quiet company. I do well with changes and appreciate a steady routine. I will likely thrive in a home with a peaceful setting where I can unwind at my leisure. I would love to be adopted with one of my siblings. I hope you’ll scoot over to the shelter and get to know Po.Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
Teletubby fans, you know her from Tubbyland. She’s yellow and has a big yellow ball. And she sings, `Laa-Laa-Li-Laa-Li-Laa-Li-Laa`. I’m Laa-Laa, one of four kittens named for the Teletubbies. We came to the shelter from another rescue, along with other kittens. I am friendly but not overbearing, and I am content watching people and other cats. I’m an easygoing kitten, and with a steady routine, I adapt well to changes. I enjoy a serene setting and would probably like a quiet home where I have time to set my own pace. As time goes on and I settle in, I`ll have a ball as your Laa-Laa! From Tubbyland to your home, Laa-Laa and maybe one of my siblings, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, or Po, would love to hang out with you for many years to come! Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax

Story
Kif? If you think that’s an odd name, well – the name comes from a sci-fi sitcom called Futurama. Kif Kroker is a soft-spoken alien lieutenant. I’m one of five kittens born in a foster home to a mama named Chai. I’m a happy boy with tons of energy. I love to have fun, and I know you’ll have fun when I’m your friendly, lively young Kif! I love attention and always want to be close to you or on you! Maybe I should’ve been a Star Trek “Klingon”! My most recent trick is reaching up to give hugs with my paws then quickly climbing up to rest scarf-style on your shoulders! I love launching myself into your arms or onto your back too. If you love a kitten who is athletic and loves people, you will appreciate and adore Kif!Adoption fee $150 + microchip fee $30 + tax
