Golden Paw Society, Inc. GPS: Helping Shelter Cats Find Their Way Into Forever Homes

We rescue cats from kill shelters and care for them at our adoption center until they are adopted.

Follow along and be a virtual part of our rescue mission! Located in Huntington NY Our shelters are filled to capacity with homeless, displaced cats; cats of all ages, many adults, who either sit for several months (day in, day out) waiting to be discovered and who are at-risk of being euthanized if they have or develop health issues or exhibit too much stress in captivity. Regardless of condition

s, no shelter cage is a happy or appropriate place for a cat to be in and cats suffer tremendously in the shelter setting, often surrounded by loud, barking dogs. In order to help us fulfill our mission, we have created a cat center for the cats we rescue! This is a true home-away- from-home for the cats to enjoy while we continue the work of finding homes for them. In our care, each cat we rescue is kept safe, comfortable and tended to medically and emotionally in preparation for adoption. Here, it’s all about the cats, and it’s about letting each one of them know they are wanted and wonderful even though somebody at some point in their lives decided they weren’t. One thing we know for sure: Whatever condition the cats are in when we remove them from the shelter setting, without fail they each begin to transform and come into their own and become the cats they are meant to be. It's an amazing and beautiful thing to see, and once they are adopted they transform even more. THIS is the beauty in what we do and this is the thing that keeps us driven to continue to do more. We are so proud and so excited to be doing this, and we ask for your support. Please visit our website at www.goldenpawsociety.org to see if there is a way you may be able to help us…So many homeless and hopeless cats will appreciate it, as will we!

We end the evening on a positive note, which has been made very easy to do thanks to Beverly. 🥰

She digs her new digs. 🤩

Beverly has enjoyed exploring every inch of our adoption center, and she approves!

We are thrilled to have rescued this incredible senior girl, and we are so grateful to be able to provide a safe space for her and so many other deserving kitties.

She and we THANK YOU all (again) for making our Thanksgiving Shelter Run a success! Beverly is one of 21 desperate shelter cats rescued! Her shelter pic is in the comments. 😢

(Next stop? Forever home with you! Please SHARE to make this come true!!
Beverly is pure love and is available at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY. )

❗️Important message to our supporters❗️

We are no longer accepting donations through Venmo.

Sadly, we discovered that there is not only one scammer but two who are fraudulently using our name to create fake accounts in hopes of collecting money from unsuspecting people. (How low can you get??)

The scammers have been reported but the venmo platform has not been responsive in shutting them down. Our best means of protecting our supporters is to stop sending you there.

❗️If you've donated to us via venmo and want to confirm we received it let us know. Payments made to the scammers can be disputed. ❗️

We will post reminders once in a while to make sure everyone knows.

We will post screen shots of the fake accounts in the comments so you can beware.

Our THANKSGIVING SHELTER RUN REVEAL is READY!!

We feel so grateful as we bask in the glory of the TWENTY ONE newly rescued angels we now have in our care thanks to all of YOU!!!

Twenty one formerly sad shelter cats now have a fresh start in life!

This shelter run raises our total to 3690 shelter cats rescued to date since our inception in 2012!

Incredible to know how many lives have been saved and changed forever - and this is all because of you, our friends and followers who believe in and support this Mission.

Enjoy the beautiful faces of our newest rescues. Each one is pictured as they were when we met them. We can't wait to show you how they're progressing in our care in the days ahead.

Thank you so much for all of your love and support as we welcome these 21 sweethearts to Golden Paw Society!!

Enjoy the rest of this weekend and the start of this holiday season!!!

The day is long
The hour is late
and our Thanksgiving Shelter Run is COMPLETE!

🤩

Anton, rescued during our last Shelter Run, is so happy to have welcomed our newest crew of rescued cats today!!!

Our Adoption Center is the safe space every lost, abandoned and traumatized cat deserves - a quiet, cozy space for them to finally be able to breathe easier as they begin to realize they are SAFE.

We have an amazing group of newbies who are tucked in safely for the night and who will awaken tomorrow morning, Thanksgiving Day, to the first dose of actual daylight they have seen in a long while due to our many windows. 🌞

We are so incredibly grateful to be able to provide this for shelter cats in need, and we never lose sight of the fact that every bit of ALL we do is possible because of you! 🥰

To our many supporters, thank you so much! Stay tuned to meet our newest crew and be prepared to fall in love many times over!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

❗LAST CALL to participate in our THANKSGIVING SHELTER RUN!❗

This is it!
In just a few hours all of the shelters will be closed. This is our last chance to get them out before the holiday!

We have met so many sad cases and we really need your help. 😫

This little baby girl is only 4 months old and is already having a tough life! She was found alone and needs to have what is left of her infected eye removed. She doesn't deserve to be going through this alone in a scary place.

Please help us to save her and several others by contributing now to our Shelter Run Fund!

$100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat.
Every dollar counts and adds up to save more lives! http://www.goldenpawsociety.org/shelter-run-fund.html

Once rescued, they are SAFE with us to enjoy the comforts of our Adoption Center where they are loved and cared for by our all-volunteer team until adopted (or forever if not adopted.)

Our THANKSGIVING SHELTER RUN is in progress and we need you❗️

More sad stories and sad little faces needing us and our time is limited! Shelters close on holidays and we have to get them out!

This adult cat lost everything she knew life to be when she was surrendered to a municipal shelter with another cat.

No more home. No more humans. No more kitty sibling. Life as she knows it officially over.

😩

Please help us to come to the rescue of this desperate girl and several others!

We've launched our THANKSGIVING SHELTER RUN and we need you!

Confused. Alone. Waiting...helplessly waiting to see a familiar face. Waiting for an owner who will not be returning to bring them home.

NO cat should have to live like this. Ever!! Yet, when a cat is surrendered to a town shelter this is how it is.

PLEASE help us to save this girl and several other shelter cats who desperately need us!

Your contribution to our Shelter Run Fund makes it happen!

The only thing worse than seeing a 16 year old cat sad and alone in a shelter cage, is seeing two of them! 😩😫

❗ IT'S TIME FOR A SHELTER RUN❗

We need to rescue as many shelter cats as we can, including this desperate super-senior pair, before Thanksgiving!

With Thanksgiving only 3 days away, we are short on time with no shortage of cats who need us.

Your contribution to our Shelter Run Fund makes the life-saving difference!

Hear ye Hear ye! May I have your attention please?

We have a VERY important announcement coming up for anyone looking for a way to make life better for shelter cats! "Twill be within the next few hours so stay tuned and be ready but first...

CONSIDER ADOPTING ME!

Yes, I used to be the scariest cat in the world, putting the fear of death into anyone who would come near me, but it's not my fault!!

It's bad enough for ANY cat to find themselves all alone outside fending for themselves, but far worse for a cat who has also been front declawed like I had been. :(

By the time I was rescued, I was beside myself and using any way I could to push people away. Growling, hissing. I even lunged for the full effect. If anyone tried to touch me for real, I would even try to bite. (Claws are our main defense; remove those and we are left with no other recourse than to bite when we feel threatened.)

The good news in all of this, is that I've been given a chance to recover from the horror of those first days. I'm so much calmer now because I feel safe. I am not quite 100% because, for that to happen, I need to be in a quiet home with an understanding human who will allow me to continue to heal from my past trauma.

I know pretty much ANYONE looking at me will want me because of my Persian dna and my stunning appearance - but anyone with superficial fancy-cat desires and/or children in the house need not apply. You're not putting a bow in my hair or taking me to the groomer anytime soon. This is me, I have progress to make, and I need the real deal so I can fully heal.

I can and will tolerate another cat or two
but ideally, it'd just be me and you!

Please help me to find true and forever love! Come adopt me now or SHARE this post so I can be home for the holidays!!

Love,
Riva

(3-5yo and available at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY)
