Milo is a Future Olympian

Milo is a cat in need of a home.

PAWS (Protection of Animals in Wakefield Society) is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal welfare organization serving Melrose and other neighboring communities. My name is Milo and I have some growing to do so I can catch up with my long legs and big feet. Being an adolescent boy is a part of my charm. Don't you think I am adorable in my orange tiger striped coat? Besides being cute, I am also very friendly and playful.  I love string toys and will jump very high to catch them. I am thinking of a career in basketball or possibly a try for the US men’s gymnastics team in 2016. My event will either be the high jump or box diving.

Franny is the Perfect Companion Cat

One trick I am good at is drinking out of the faucet. I love moving water…

Adopt Willie, a Gentle Giant of a Cat

Adopt a gentle giant named Willie.

PAWS (Protection of Animals in Wakefield Society) is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal welfare organization serving Melrose and other neighboring communities. My name is Willie and I am a very friendly and talkative young guy who loves to be right in the middle of all the action. That means that I will always come right up to greet you and your guests, rubbing up against you to say hello.  It also means I can be quite helpful around the house.  Have some gifts to wrap?  I can help with that. Reading the Sunday paper? I can help there by stretching out on it. I also love to sun myself, so I hope you have a nice window where I can take in the rays.  I do have a little bit of a catnip habit. That stuff makes me wild. Give me a nip and …
