Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Dwayne The Cat Johnson came to the shelter as a stray, but he’s ready to star in his forever home. At roughly 2 years old, this charming boy has a lot to say—and he will say it. Dwayne is very vocal and loves to keep his people informed, whether it’s about an empty food dish, a serious lack of attention, or all the neighborhood “tea” you missed while you were out for the day. This confident conversationalist is playful and energetic, and he’ll need a home stocked with durable, cat-safe toys. Dwayne has a history of trying to snack on things (and toys) he shouldn’t, so supervision and sturdy enrichment are important to keep him happy and safe. With the right setup and a loving environment, Dwayne The Cat Johnson is a truly wonderful boy who will thrive as a devoted, entertaining companion. If you’re looking for a cat with personality, opinions, and plenty of stories to tell, Dwayne is ready to take center stage in your life!

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Pretty Prince truly lives up to his name! This very sweet boy came to the shelter through no fault of his own due to allergies and a move. He was an indoor-only kitty and has experience living with children, making him a wonderful family companion. Pretty Prince doesn’t mind sharing his kingdom—he’s open to making feline and even canine friends with proper introductions. With a little time to settle in, he can blossom into a true social butterfly! Above all, Pretty Prince adores attention. He loves cuddling up on a warm lap, soaking in pets, and being doted on like the royalty he is. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate cat who’s ready to be your loyal companion, Pretty Prince is ready to rule your heart.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Tinsel is a confident, pushy girl who knows exactly what she wants—and expects everyone to agree, because she is clearly the queen of the house. What Tinsel says goes… don’t you know? ?? She came into the shelter as a stray and was heavily pregnant at the time. Now it’s her turn to be spoiled. Despite pushy, and drive to nibble when she gets love, Tinsel is a sweet girl at heart who truly believes she deserves the world—and honestly, we agree. She’s looking for a home where she can rule in comfort, soak up attention, and be admired as the regal lady she is. Could your home be her kingdom?

Story
Adoption Fee 250$Come and visit me at PAW. Gizmo is a 9-month-old brown tabby with a big personality packed into a small, sensitive soul. He’s a nervous young cat who prefers to take life at his own pace and isn’t a fan of being handled, so he’s looking for a patient, understanding home that will let him set the rules and build trust on his terms.Gizmo would do best as the only cat in the home. He tends to play rough and doesn’t always read other cats’ boundaries well, so he’ll be happiest having all the space and attention to himself.With time, consistency, and respect for his limits, Gizmo has the potential to grow more confident and show his unique charm. He’s best suited for an experienced cat guardian who appreciates a more independent feline and is willing to let a shy cat come out of his shell in his own way.If you’re looking for a handsome brown tabby who just needs patience and understanding, Gizmo may be the perfect match.

THIS ANIMAL IS NOT FIXED AND IS BEING ADOPTED ON A SPAY/NEUTER AGREEMENTCome visit me at PAW - People for Animal Wellbeing!Adoption Fee: 285.00The 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.

Story
Come visit me at PAW - Adoption fee $250 - Gingerbread is a wonderful companion with a gentle soul and the sweetest heart. This lovely girl is an absolute sweetheart who thrives on kindness and deserves all the love and attention her future family can give. She came to the shelter as a stray, so her exact age is approximate, and her full personality in a home setting is still a bit of a mystery. But if her shelter personality is any indication, Gingerbread is sure to be a total gem at home. She has a calm, affectionate nature that makes everyone she meets fall a little in love with her. Gingerbread is ready to trade shelter life for a cozy home where she can blossom, feel safe, and share her gentle affection every day. Could she be the missing piece to your family?
