Lightning Needs a Loving Home

Will you adopt this sweet cat?

My name is Lightning and I am a stunning, young cat who is more than ready to get some me time. I don’t know why they call me Lightning, because if I am fast, it is only because I have been dashing after kittens. Babies, babies, babies, oh my. Mine were lovely, but I am so done with being a mother. Now I want someone to mother me. What do I mean by mothering me? Well, I love to be patted. I love to be scratched behind my ears and stroked from my neck all the way down to my tail. I am so sleek and smooth your hand will glide right over me like, well, like lightning. Maybe we can even make a few sparks on dry days.  When we meet, I hope you will take the time to get to know me because I can be shy at first. But once I have scoped you out, I …

Louise Needs a Caring Home

Will you adopt Louise?

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] As the temperature drops and winter takes its frigid hold, cat rescue people don’t sleep well. We hear the wind whipping and worry about the homeless kittens and cats outside. We find comfort in cats like Louise, ones we are able to rescue due to a kind soul who spotted a mom and kittens and never gave up finding help. The owner never spayed their cat, instead moved and left her behind. So Louise and her siblings were born in a condo complex environment, behind a tall fence in a tangled patch of forest, seeking shelter in the crevices of a cliff.   Rescued at three months old, Louise’s foster mom has done a wonderful job of showing her that people represent …

Winter is a Warm and Loving Adolescent

Will you adopt this friendly cat?

My name is Winter, but I am not the least bit like that season. I am all spring, sweet and happy and loving, the kind of kitty who will sit on your lap and purr and purr. The kind of girl who likes to be scratched, rubbed, and petted in all those good cat spots (ears, chin, neck, etc.). In this very cold end of January, I am a tiger who will bring a lot of warmth into your home.  Did I say tiger? Not a real one silly! I am actually a torbie because of my range of colors (orange, brown, grey, cream) mixed with tiger stripes. Did I mention I am young? Maybe 8 months old. Some would say that is an awkward age, stuck between childhood and adulthood. But I would say it is the perfect age. I have all the energy and fun of a kitten, but I am …

Fudgecicle is One Sweet Cat [PHOTOS]

Will you adopt this friendly feline?

Hi everyone. My name is Fudgecicle, but you can call me Fudge, for short. As you can see, I am not a good speller. But I think I got my name because I am all brown like the frozen treat called a fudgesicle. Or maybe it was because I am extremely sweet, if a bit fuzzy. I am also quite unique with my medium-length, fine hair with no undercoat. You will be amazed by how soft and silky I am. Besides my beauty (and let’s not discount that), I am a very easy kitty to have around. I can be initially cautious, and will most likely hide in a new environment or around new people. But you can pull me out of my hiding spot and I won’t even complain. Once I feel safe (give me ten or so minutes), I will be ready to meet you and show you my playful and …

PAWS Pet of the Week

Brenda Has Two White Toes and a Sparkling Personality

Will you adopt this friendly cat?

I am sleek, sweet, and looking for my forever home. My name is Brenda and I am an almost all black except for two white toes and a few white hairs at my chest and neck. I think I am stunning. My foster thinks I am sweet as can be. I believe we are both right! Besides having two twinkly white toes, I also have a personality that is just as sparkly. I am very playful and love to snuggle. I came to PAWS with three young kittens and I used to run around and play with them. Now that they are gone, I will play with any other cat who is interested in having a romp. I get along with just about every cat I have met. So, I would be a perfect addition to your home if you are looking to add another feline. No worries about me getting anyone’s tail out…

Toby Needs a Loving Home

Will you adopt this friendly feline?

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] I’m Toby, a handsome young tabby playboy, about a year old and stunning enough for a cat magazine, with my gray soft fur and streaks of black. I just love to play and can often be heard chasing a rubber ball or seen soaring high after a wand toy. Take the time to play with me and I will love you even more. I might have a touch of coon cat in me, with my fluffy tail and furry ears and paw pads. I enjoy being picked up and a good ear scratching. Not the shy type, I will greet anyone who visits, rubbing up against them to show my affectionate side. When being petted, I have a purr that never ends and will lie down and roll all around. I’m not much into meowing and…

Will You Adopt Candy?

This sweet girl loves attention.

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] Candy. Just the word can elicit sweet childhood memories: a mouthful of gumballs, un-wrapping your favorite chocolate bar, zipping you back to an easier time.  Our sweet Candy girl had an easier life until her owner became ill and the family decided to give up their two young cats (Candy’s less than 18 months old). However, they kept their kitten. Candy is waiting to fill your world with sweet new memories. So friendly and affectionate, she just wants to be close. Candy is stunning; with her white diamond face, pretty caramel and chocolate colorings, tabby stripes on her head and tail but not on her body; unique for a tabby. Her short, pretty fur compliments …

Kelly RB Needs a Loving Home [PHOTOS]

Will you adopt this sweet tiger?

Everyone who sees me says I'm right from the jungle. I don't understand this at all. Yes, I'm a tiger cat. OK, I'm a BIG tiger cat. Well, a huge tiger cat. But really, if you come to meet me you will learn the truth: I'm quite civilized and downright sweet. Yes, that’s me, Kelly RB, a young, laidback brown tiger. My idea of fun is hanging out, looking impressive. I also like to sit in the window and watch the birds and squirrels. Watch is the operative word here. I'm not a hunter.  I'm very mellow. Mostly, you’ll find me lumbering around the house looking for friends to hang out with. I love to be combed and patted. I would be happy to watch the game with you.  Or, I could just take a nap and you could admire me. That would be fine. I …

Will You Adopt Transit?

Find out more about the latest Lots of Love Cat Rescue's Pet of the Week.

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] Transit is ready to travel to a loving home. He is a confident and striking boy, with his defined tiger-like stripes and spots, white paws and an adorable half-white diamond on his face. He also has soulful green eyes, short easily-manageable fur (gray and black) and a long, lanky body. His physical and personality traits lead us to believe he is an Egyptian Mau mix. Only two years old, Transit has faced harsh winters and near starvation trying to survive in the woods. Luckily, he stumbled upon a woman who was putting food out for some stray cats. Each time she arrived, Transit appeared. At each feeding, Transit would gobble down three cans of food. It wasn’t …
