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!

Let's all sing a chorus of MORRIS!!

Morris is a large, stately gentleman who has been through a lot - first having lost his home, then being at a town shelter with a painful mouth full of bad teeth!

We are happy to report that he has gotten his dental and a clean bill of health and is now ready to start a new life with you!

As with all of our adult rescues, their ages are often a guesstimation. He is somewhere between 10 to 12yo mellow and sweet and READY!

Available now at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY!

Let Them.

This is the newest, trending theory about how to treat people ... but this is how we have always felt about cats.

Just let them be.

Let them meet you where they are able to meet you and don't push them to go further.

Of course we wish every cat would just love us the way we love them!
The way it will happen is if we give them the time and the space they need to feel safe.

We rescued Dahlia from her shelter cage a few weeks ago. For whatever reasons, she was an owner surrender and her heart was broken. 💔

She is incredibly docile and sweet but she is hesitant to trust. We can tell she wants to come closer, but she is also afraid. 😩

Showing Dahlia, as many times as it takes, that we will not push her beyond her limits, is the way we will help her become braver and more sure of us and of herself over time.

We love you Dahlia and we will do what it takes to help you on your journey towards everlasting love.

ok I'd like to set the record straight. Been hearing all the rumors about me sleeping on the job and, as you can see, I am practically wide awake. I take my word very seriously so if I offer to be Spokescat then Spokescat I am!

So, Ehem!
I,Tank, am hereby spokesing out about our Wishlists! These are the lists of things we, the cats, have determined to be needed every single day so if you, the people, can send us some that would be fantastic!

All goods can be sent to us at the Adoption Center at 260 Broadway in Huntington Station NY 11746 and we, the cats, will share it all! (except the catnip bananas. I want all of the catnip bananas for just me.)

CAUGHT SLEEPING ON THE JOB!! (but it's OK!)

Recently-rescued, Tank, signed up to be today's Wishlist Wednesday Spokescat but here he is...settled in for a long nap in the sun.

There is nothing more we wish for our cats than their peace and happiness so we are going to let him sleep it out and we will do the talking for him. :)

Tank and all his buddies at our Adoption Center have compiled lists of their favorite-and-most-needed-always things! Please take a look and see if there is something you can send our way! Any and all gifts are always appreciated!

you: something is missing in my life, I can't explain it.

us: meet Ryleigh

If her face alone doesn't tell you all you need to know to come get her, then I guess we can add that she is an incredibly sweet, loving, wise and wonderful senior girlie in need of a soft place to land.


We're not sure of her exact age, or how much longer she has on this earth, but we do know she deserves the very best for her golden years.

Ryleigh is very undemanding. Wants a cozy spot to sleep, a warm lap to lounge on once in a while and someone to tell her how beautiful she is maybe once or twice a day.

Queen of our Adoption Center Sink, Talia, is ready. Ready for the week....ready for the water faucet to be turned on ...but mostly ready for a furever home with you!

She is a true tortie, complete with tortitude, and ready to be Queen of her Castle. Solo kitty home preferred but will tolerate others if necessary. 😜

So it turns out cats do get Sunday Blues like the rest of us...

Getting ready for the week ahead is no joke.

Do not try to get my attention.
Do not try to break my routine.
No I don't want to engage in any small talk. 🙄
Lemme do what I have to do.

Did not expect this from Tank bc he is usually so chill. He made NO attempt to hide his disgust lol. It's ok, ..we feel u buddy. 🫤

Sleep well and here's to a decent week for all.

❤️😴

(Tank is one of our many amazing cats awaiting true love at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY. He is a large, friendly and hilarious mush-ball....just don't interrupt his Sunday night routine and you're good.)

UPDATE: Tara had a rough day but is already seeming to improve a bit now that all her meds have had a few hours to kick in. Thank you so much for all the love and prayers sent her way today! All that positive energy truly helps! Will post uodates as she (hopefully) continues to improve. 🥰

*********************************
Happy Easter?

For normal people, holidays mean family, gatherings, celebration fun and food.

For cat rescue people, holidays mean no regular vets are open and you're inevitably going to end up at an ER spending a fortune just to walk in the door and more-so after that.

Never.fails.

(Our girlie, Tara, is a 12yo GPS superstar/alumni and loved by many. A bit of an unsolved mystery why she suddenly was unwell this morning...but home now on 5 medications ...antibiotic, fever reducer, anti-nausia, two diff meds for her painful tongue 😩)

All prayers and good wishes welcome. ❤️

Good Morning from Raquel, in the sunny, cozy bed she now shares with her adoring, smitten human! ☺️

Months and months and MONTHS of waiting at our Adoption Center have finally paid off for this very selective 5yo sweetheart. 😜🥰

Yesterday, true love walked in the room and that was that! Her meant-to-be human had arrived and swept this girl off her feet into the solo-kitty life she was craving. 🤩

Good first-morning waking up to the life of love you are so deserving of! We are so happy for you!

❤️

Before you fall asleep
To make your day complete
Here's more Matt 😍

The road to home is paved in...acceptance.

We just know someone is going to have to have Matt. And his tongue. We. Are. Obsessed.

We know what you're thinking. It isn't tongue-out-Tuesday so why now are we featuring Matt with his tongue out?

That's because this is Matt. Anytime, any day - every day of the week - tongue out.

Yes he is able to bring his tongue back in whenever he wants, which is good bc then it doesn't get dry. However, due to a cleft/raised palate, he is most comfortable with it out. (See more pics in comments.)

And yes, he will let you touch it. Yes we tested this theory out before saying so and ...you know you want to! 😛😝

So there you have it. You can go get yourself a regular cat, or you can come get Matt.

We should add that he is SO sweet and gentle and loving and wonderful! The tongue-out thing is just a bonus feature that will keep you smiling every single day of the week. 😁

8yo and available now at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY

STELLA'S JOURNEY

Stella is a 2-year-old sweetheart with cerebellar hypoplasia (CH), which essentially means she has some coordination issues when she moves. This is something neurological that she was born with, it does not progress and it does not cause her any distress.

Stella's Journey started over 800 miles from us in Chattanooga Tennessee where she was adopted as a little baby (see comments for her baby picture)

Almost 2 years and over 800 miles later she was found abandoned on the side of a road in a carrier. 😔

Her microchip identified her prior owner and, in reaching out to that person, we learned that she didn't want to care for Stella anymore "because of her handicap."

We shall refrain from commenting on that. 😶

Despite her "handicap", and despite the fact that she was incredibly terrified when she was found on the side of that road alone in a carrier, and despite the fact that she spent her first few days with us throwing up and in distress due to being very confused and disoriented, Stella has since happily moved way past that past rejection. 💪

In no time at all Stella has managed to burrow herself deep inside every one of our hearts and we cannot wait to see where she goes next. 😍

Stella makes us smile everyday. In this video we were so shocked to see her climbing on our climbers! She got up but then realized she wasn't quite sure how to come back down!

You can see she's incredibly smart and responsive to guidance and she also has a sense of humor and likes to surprise us. 🤣 Now she is climbing up and down our climbers every day!

Next stop on Stella's journey is a forever home with someone who will adore her as much as we do. Must be very special with a heart of gold 💛

ODIN IS ADOPTED!!

His beautiful face caught the eye of a prior adopter who couldn't wait to meet him!

To meet Odin is to love him, and now he is forever safe and loved by the best mommy/daughter team ever! 🥰😍

Congratulations Odin! Enjoy every minute of all this love you are so deserving of! 😻

Whoa we almost let TWOS DAY pass without mentioning this pair!!

Meg & Peg!!! Or? is it Peg & Meg? 🤔

Point being, these two sisters are adorable, affectionate, friendly, fun AND smart! We caught them chilling out in our front window today, obviously waiting for their future forever human(s) to arrive.

Each of them alone might seriously be the best cat you've ever met but now you can have TWO of those!! 🤩🤩

Double-purrfection love-connection waiting to be yours now! Imagine sleeping with stereophonic purrs every night!

Just about 1yo and available now at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station, NY!
