A Paw in the Door

10/14/2025

Blue is a Paw alumni. Please keep your eye out for him. Please no negative comments about the dangers of going out. His people are aware but he was formerly stray & living outdoor & the kind of cat who refuses to be contained. Even with a catio he finds a way to get out. People do the best they can.
If you see him please call him in to the number on the poster.
Please share for maximum exposure! Paint the town Blue!
Thank you!

Although we found the calico cats home we ask that you don't forget Ghost who is still missing from the High Street/Hyde School area.
Keep your eyes open & if you see Ghost please call the number on the poster!
We will be coming around to remove the found cat posters for our calico.

This sweet little gal was brought to Paw in the Door as a longtime stray from High Street in Bath. She was hungry & tired & has been resting most of the day.
If this is your cat please get in touch...
Respond to the post, text or call 207 751 4131 or 207 837 8808.
She has had a flea treatment, lots of yummy food, plenty of love & naps. She will go to our vet tomorrow.

Thank you so much to all of you who donated, volunteered & shopped the sale these past couple of days!
We had so much STUFF! More than we've ever had & everyoneWORKED SO HARD! Shoppers shopped hard & our core volunteers stayed to clean up & return the senior center to squeaky clean!
With hard work comes great rewards & after expenses we made $4.523.00!
Yes, we are tired but seeing us all come together, feeling the love & support & visiting with & working with all of you was exhilarating! Once again you all have showed us that it takes a village & what an amazing village we have!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
And just think we will have another pre Christmas sale in November on Veterans day weekend!
Let's make this a recycled Christmas & buy as many of your Christmas gifts as possible at the next Paw yard sale!

PLEASE come & buy it all. SOOOO much stuff!

Special thanks to John Desjardins & the whole Wilson's Drug Store crew for selling our catnip bags for 20 years. John paid us upfront & never sold them for more than he paid for them. It was just another way this wonderful guy served our community!
Thank you to Christine Coombs aka Tina Coombs who got the ball rolling for us there & to Melissa Textor for delivering them for all those years!
We are blessed. It takes a village & our village is the best!
Wilson's helped us to fund the work we have done with cats for all these years without making a peep about another good thing they did!
We all miss them!

Thanks to all who came to our summer yard sale & shopped & donated to our cats! We had more stuff than ever from our volunteers & devoted friends of Paw & all of you who care so much about our kitties!
Every penny goes to the care of the cats that need our help currently in our program & to those cats who will need us coming up. With lots of funding cuts to many programs we feel that people will be struggling with spay neuter & hope to help with that as needed.
We brought in $3842. today to accomplish that!
We will have another sale in September - our annual fall yard sale, once again at the senior center to raise more money to continue helping. It's a lot of work setting up. selling & breaking down but a lot of fun too & we get to see so many of you shopping & are able to give some great deals too! We hope you all had fun too!
Thank you to all of you who donated things for us to sell & to our amazing volunteers who helped with set up, selling, breakdown AND to those who dug up their plants for us to sell as well as divided their house plants!
A huge shout out to our baker Anne Lavoie who makes us so many sweet treats to sustain us during set up & break down when we need a sugar high! Bakers Patti Sig & Dawn Toth too! All the bakers get 4 paws up from us!
I have a post showing the amount of trash we have go to the landfill. We donate everything we can locally to other non profits, churches, wildlife rehabbers, homeless advocates, restore, etc. Just the boxes & bags & plastic chair will go to the landfill!

It was a wild & crazy time but everyone got some great bargains, had fun & we raised $2878.50 for the kitties in care, our alumni that medical care or those that special diets are needed for, the cats that are in desperate need that come to us for help & those waiting to come in! Thanks to all of you who donated over & above the purchase price of the goods purchased to help the kitties!
