Story
Please contact Dee (Dee@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet.  *Please read bio in its entirety prior to contacting the foster. The first step in our process  for any animal you are interested in, is to fill out an application. For more information not listed in the bio, please email Dee at Dee@PawsandPrayers.org* Karen is a very independent girl that loves to watch your every move. She has been with us for about 2 1/2 years now, and she is still learning to trust humans. Karen is very curious, and she loves to figure things out on her own. She previously lived on the streets, and she is extremely cautious about making new human friends, but loves to be pet when she finally lets you! Karen loves other cats, and she would do best in a home where she can have a friend of her own size to help her feel confident and safe. She has a sensitive tummy, and requires a grain free diet.  Karen is about 6 years old, litter box trained, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed, dewormed, and combo tested. Her adoption fee is $125.  This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program. Copy and paste this link for more information. https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/ April 28, 2024, 3:53 pm

Story
Please contact Jamie (jamie@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet. Meet Matcha! Matcha is a special girl who needs a home she can reside in, and not necessarily receive attention. Matcha loves the companionship of other cats, but could give or take humans. She is not aggressive, just shy and not fond of human touch. She has a sensitive tummy and requires a gentle formula food (not prescription). She is about 1 year old. Her adoption fee is $125.   Paws and Prayers Cats are spay/neuter, fully vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested (neg), dewormed, current on flea/tick prevention, and microchipped at the time of adoption. They are litterbox trained unless otherwise noted. Please be aware we do not walk around standing & holding our shelter cats - this is unnatural to them and we like to keep them as comfortable as possible.  Please read the entire bio before emailing the foster with questions.    Meet and greets are not arranged unless an adoption application is filled out and approved and are by appointment only. April 28, 2024, 3:53 pm

Story
Please contact Jamie (jamie@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet. Meet Stache! Stache is a dapper 2 year old domestic short hair. He is playful, energetic, and fun! When he first came to Paws and Prayers he was not a happy camper but once settled in, he’s blossomed into a sweet boy! He absolutely loves the company of other cats, and tends to take kittens under his wing and play with them all the time!  He does get overstimulated with play and petting with humans, so a home with no kids would be best. Stache’s adoption fee is $125.April 28, 2024, 3:53 pm

Story
Please contact Jamie (jamie@pawsandprayers.org) for more information about this pet. Alex can come off as a little bit of a sour patch kid at first, but will show you that she is really sweet as pie. She likes attention on her terms but let’s you know when she’s had enough. She gets along with other cats, but would be content in a home on her own. She is very petite and does the cutest squeaks. She is about 5-6 years old. She has a deformed eye but it has been checked by a vet and doesn’t bother her or cause issues, it just waters from time to time. Alex also seems a little hard of hearing but that does not effect her either. She is a great girl who’s ready to find a home! Her adoption fee is $125.   Paws and Prayers Cats are spay/neuter, fully vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested (neg), dewormed, current on flea/tick prevention, and microchipped at the time of adoption. They are litterbox trained unless otherwise noted. Please be aware we do not walk around standing & holding our shelter cats - this is unnatural to them and we like to keep them as comfortable as possible.  Please read the entire bio before emailing the foster with questions.    Meet and greets are not arranged unless an adoption application is filled out and approved and are by appointment only. April 28, 2024, 3:53 pm

The first step in our process  for any animal you are interested in, is to fill out an application. For more information not listed in the bio, please email Dee at Dee@PawsandPrayers.org* Santana is trying hard to learn to trust humans, and she is very watchful as she learns as much as she can about you before she makes her move. She has been with us about a year and a half now, and has made so much progress! We have found that at feeding time seems to be the best time to pet her and show her love. She enjoys affection, but she does not yet actively seek it out on her own unless she feels comfortable with you. She is looking for a special person that will offer her patience as she gets comfortable in her new environment. She loves the company of other cats, and would do best with a kitty companion in her new home.   She is about two 1/2 years old, litter box trained, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, spayed, dewormed, and combo tested. Her adoption fee is $125. This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program. Copy and paste this link for more information. https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/ April 28, 2024, 3:53 pm

He can be approached on his terms, and does not mind one to two pets very occasionally, but he will not tolerate a lot of affection. Walt's ideal home would be on the quieter side, and one without small children. He does not mind the company of other cats, but could also live alone. We believe a dog would likely overwhelm him. He is about 5 years old, litter box trained, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, neutered, dewormed, and combo tested. His adoption fee is $125.   This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program. Copy and paste this link for more information. https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/ April 28, 2024, 3:53 pm
