Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Lilac is a soft, beautiful grey tabby with a gentle soul and a sensitive heart. She came to the shelter as a stray, so her age is approximate, but one thing is clear—she’s a quiet lady who feels safest in calm, predictable environments. Lilac will do best in a peaceful home with someone (or a family) who understands that nervous cats need time, patience, and lots of compassion. She’s not likely to be a lap cat, and that’s okay. Once trust is built, Lilac shows affection in her own subtle ways—like offering gentle rubs against your leg as a quiet “I like you.” To help her settle in, Lilac would benefit from having a space dedicated just to her before she arrives, giving her a chance to decompress and adjust at her own pace. Tools like Feliway spray or diffusers would go a long way in helping her feel safe and secure in her new surroundings. Lilac may never be the lovey-dovey type, but she is deeply deserving of a loving, understanding home—one that will see her for who she is and appreciate the quiet bond she has to offer.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Lavender is a gorgeous girl with a tender, protected heart. She’s not the type to rush into relationships—she prefers to take her time, observe from a safe distance, and decide for herself when trust feels right. Because of that, Lavender is looking for a patient, calm, and supportive human who understands that the best bonds are built slowly. She came to the shelter as a stray, so her exact age and past are a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that with time and consistency, Lavender begins to show her softer side. Once she feels safe, she’ll happily trade sweet head boops for gentle cheek scratches—on her terms, of course. Lavender would thrive in a quiet, low-key home where she can have her own space to settle in before fully exploring her new world. A calm household is right up her alley, and with the right person, she has all the potential to blossom into a deeply loving companion. If you believe in going slow, respecting boundaries, and earning trust the old-fashioned way, Lavender just might be your perfect match.

Come visit me at PAW - People for Animal Wellbeing!Adoption Fee: 295.00The excitement of adopting a kitten! Kittens are so irresistible, who can say No. Here are some tips to help ensure a smooth transition into your home.-Kitten proof your home (block of nooks and crannies, move electronic cords or other items you don’t want played with).-Be prepared and plan for your kitten’s arrival. Pick up supplies to help your kitten settle in their new home (kitten food, kitty litter, appropriate scratching surfaces, toys ect).-Provide lots of affection, play time and supervision to keep your kitten safe, out of trouble, and socialized.-Don’t overwhelm your kitten on day one. Provide a quiet area or allow them to explore a small room you have set up first. Once your kitten is settled, expect to see scratching of surfaces, wrestling and climbing. Kittens have boundless energy and curiosity. They will require more of your time and attention than an adult cat, but the reward is watching your kitten grow into a sleek adult cat, along with years of love and affection.
