Forget the Spruce, Pick a Sequoia this Season
Look at me under the Christmas tree! With a name like Sequoia, I think I should have been photographed under my own tree. But, of course, sequoia trees grow mostly in California, and I am definitely a Massachusetts cat. I was found in Reading and rescued by PAWS with the help of a very nice lady who was feeding me. I wish my previous owners had kept me in the house so I would not have gotten lost. But I do consider myself one lucky cat to be spending the holidays inside. The only thing that would make me happier would be to be with a forever family of my own. As I said, I was found outside with a kitten named Hickory (who is already adopted!). They thought Hickory was my baby, but in fact, when I was spayed last week, they discovered…

Lilo Bunny Wants to Hop Right into Your Heart
Sniff, sniff, sniff ... hello nice person. My name is Lilo and I am a one-year-old mini lop eared bunny who really likes people. And people seem to like me, too. I guess it is because I am quite cute with my hanging ears, beautiful harlequin markings, and sweet, twitchy, bunny nose. Rabbits just don’t get much cuter than I am, if I do say so myself. You might think I am a bit biased. But really, I am just a very happy and social boy who enjoys life and dreams of a wonderful home. So, you are asking yourself: Why do I need a bunny in my life? Well, I am just a bundle of pure joy. My favorite thing to do is to stick my nose out of my cage and ask to be patted. Whenever anyone is around, this is what I do. I also like to play. There are toys…

PAWS' Pumpkin Patch is Full of Orange Tabbies who are Ripe and Ready to Go Home with You
Adopt out of our Pumpkin Patch: Orange Tabbies are Ripe and Ready to Go Hi, my name is Carberry and as you can see, I am a beautiful five-year-old orange tabby. I have to say, I am delighted Halloween is over since I keep getting confused for a pumpkin. Must be my beautiful orange coat and the way I sit around and purr. Ok, I am large, fourteen pounds (all brawn) and I guess when I curl up, I look just like a jack-o-lantern. But really, what pumpkin purrs, is beautiful and laid back and gets along well with dogs and well-behaved cats? The best news of all about me is that PAWS is lowering adoption fees on certain cats just for this weekend. I see I am on that list. I am happy about that because I so very much want a home of …

Chloe and Tiger are a Sweet Pair Looking for New Love
Chloe and Tiger are a Sweet Pair Looking for New Love There we were, my sister (Chloe) and I, having a perfect life with our beloved owner, when she got sick and could no longer care for us. We missed her terribly, and counted ourselves very lucky that her parents took us in. But you know, they were not so young, and now they have moved to assisted living, where we are not allowed. Can you imagine that? Ok, we are not here to discuss the health care system. But Chloe and I are a bit heartbroken under our brave demeanor. We have had two big losses and that is not easy for any cat, let alone two loyal and loving felines like Chloe and me. Thank goodness PAWS has taken us under their wing. We are now in a lovely foster …

Will you adopt this friendly feline?
Noirot, a Black Beauty with a Rumbling Purr My name is Noirot and I am a purr machine. Nothing makes me happier than a long petting session and a good, loud rumble in my throat. When I see my foster person, I give her a cute meow or two and then, even before she moves in to pet me, I start to purr up a storm. I can sit forever when I am being stroked and groomed. My medium-length fur is now glossy and sleek from all that care—and wait until you see my amazing, bushy tail. I will even let you touch my paws. Yes, you heard that right, touch my paws! For those of you who know cats well, you know that a cat who lets you do that must be a very gentle, sweet feline. Need I say more? I am purrfect! With the days getting colder and darker, I must …

Mr Leo Is Sweet Heart Looking to Share his Love with You
Mr. Leo is a Sweet Heart with Lots of Love to Share My name is Mr. Leo, but you can call me Cream Puff. I know, I look like I recently retired from the WWF, but I am really a young, three-year-old, go-along, get-along kind of guy. Plus, with my dark reddish tiger stripes and my Maine coon fuzziness, I combine the best of the feline kingdom. I mean, who wouldn’t want an orange tabby? And everyone seems to love Maine Coons. As for my personality, I’m a sweet, gentle guy who is ready to warm right up to anyone. And, if you offer to brush me, I may just roll over so you can get my tummy, too. Yes, brush my gorgeous, fluffy, orange fur and I will be putty in your hands. I am affable with a capital A. Lately, I have been…

This friendly cat needs a caring home to go to.
Red-Headed Freckles is a Sweet Young Boy right out of Mayberry RFD I may look like a fiery red-head, but believe me, I am as mellow as can be. I was abandoned by my owners when they moved, but being so sweet, I found my way to some nice neighbors, who noticed I looked lost and forlorn, and rescued me. Now I am at PAWS’ adoption center at the Danvers PetSmart. Life here is ok, but, well, a sweet guy like me needs company. This place sure gets lonely at night when everyone leaves and the lights go off. Can you come adopt me? I promise I will slide easily into your life. As I said, I am the sweetest, mellowest orange tabby you will ever meet. I love to curl up for naps—any cozy place will do. If you want to hear my purr, all you have to do is…

Sacagawea: Beautiful, Brave and Ready to make History
Sacagawea: Beautiful, Brave and Ready to make History My name is Sacagawea, and my days exploring in the wild are over. Like my namesake, the brave, pregnant, Shoshone girl who guided Lewis and Clark on their expedition, I was quite the outdoors woman, giving birth in a backyard and evading my trappers for two months. But now that I am in a PAWS foster home, with all the comforts that brings, I realize that the indoor life is the one for me. So, you may ask, what’s so great about staying inside? First of all, I love all the cool toys, especially the ones with catnip and anything that rolls. And, of course, I love the people who toss the balls and play with me. I also thoroughly enjoy it when they pat me and hold me. Safe inside, I get to …

Will you adopt these friendly felines?
Do you like cookies? I hope so, because I am Lorna Doone, an orange Maine Coon mix who is looking for someone to love her. I know you can see I am stunning to look at. Can you see my tail in the pictures? Isn’t it just so fluffy and amazing? I am also special and sweet on the inside as well. I have lots of favorite activities we could share. I love to be patted and I will purr and knead when you do that. You can pick me up and I will cuddle. OK, I will need to get to know you just a bit first, but after that I will be relaxed and happy to be around you. When you are not around, I will hang out on the window sill. I just love watching the birds and bees outside. It is better than cable and, to be honest, I am a bit of a couch potato. I …

This two-year-old, fit and trim medium-sized cat is looking for a new home—could it be yours.
PAWS (Protection of Animals in Wakefield Society) is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal welfare organization serving Wakefield and other neighboring communities. My name is Berwick and I might as well come right out and tell you that I was orphaned on the side of the road. I am no modern-day Huckleberry Finn. I don’t want to be alone and wandering. I am not the tramping type or a thrill seeker. I haven’t an ounce of wander lust in me. No, I am just a cuddly, loving tiger cat who wants to go home ... to you. As you can see from my pictures, I am a young, about two years old, very handsome, fit, and trim medium-sized cat. Unlike some felines, I am easy to pick up, very snuggly, and an all-around happy guy. Nothing ruffles me. I am not …
