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!

Skip the fireworks!! This is the only display you will need to see today!!

Our Summer Shelter Run Reveal is finalllllllllllllllllllllllllllly here and we are celebrating Liberty and Freedom for 32 Shelter Cats on this Independence Day!!

Every single Shelter Run we do is loaded with emotion due to the cats we meet; this Run has been a tad EXTRA loaded due to health concerns of some of the cats we met - waiting upon a biopsy for one, another we pulled for hospice who may or may not be hospice after all, another who had NO chance of making it unless we got her - and just the number of purrfect little faces that would not let us go, forcing us to juggle our space a bit to fit them in.

It's OK! We did it, we got them! Thanks to YOU and your support, our Adoption Center is now fully loaded with so much cuteness and SO many grateful cats that it's hard to take! (and, we have our list of those to go back for as soon as space allows!)

The pics here are of the cats as we met them in their shelter cages, hence the sadness. This is why we do what we do. We can't wait to turn all of these sad little frowns upside down!

Get ready to falllll hard and fast in love with each one of them as we welcome them to Golden Paw Society!!

thank you thank you thank you soooo much for your generous donations that make every bit of our shelter cat rescue mission possible!!

HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE!!

Before you get the wrong idea and think we're just lazing around like a bunch of cats doing nothing while you await our Summer Shelter Run results...

we assure you it is stilll in the works! We met a few cats we couldn't take on our first stops that we HAVE to go back for or we will not sleep at night. Once you meet them ALL we know you will agree it was worth the wait.

In the meantime enjoy Benji. He was a May Shelter Run rescue who hissed in the corner of his cage and wouldn't let us touch him. This is him right now at our Adoption Center. How quickly things change when cats know they are SAFE. 🥰

Can't wait to do this for our new crew! Stay tuned!!

Boy, rescuing cats really takes a lot out of you. Morris didn't even help yet he's yawning just watching all the work we had to do today settling so many newbies in! 🥰

We've got so many new cats we've lost count, but we've got one more shelter to hit tomorrow so our reveal will have to wait.

Frustrating? Yes, but also wonderful knowing that there are still some unsuspecting shelter cats whose lives will be changed forever tomorrow! Tonight is their last night in the cages they have been confined to for who knows how long.

We feel very blessed to be able to do this for cats in need, and we thank you so much for following and supporting our shelter cat rescue mission!

Everything we do is thanks to you and the donations we receive, because every donation brings us closer to being able to save another life.

They’re waiting behind cage bars for someone to care.

Every day, loving cats sit in shelters—scared, confused, and overlooked. Many won’t make it out without help.

We’re doing everything we can to rescue as many as possible, but we can’t do it alone. Your donation goes directly to saving lives—pulling cats from shelters, providing vet care, food, safety, and love.

If you’ve ever looked into the eyes of a shelter cat, you know: they just want a chance.

Please help us give it to them. 💔🐾

Our SUMMER SHELTER RUN is in progress and we need you!

another downtrodden little soul who has lost, literally, everything
and from the look on her face and in her eyes
she is also losing hope.

Day in, day out, right here in this cage.
So completely alone and chronically overlooked for all the perfect little kittens.
THIS is how it is for adult cats in shelter cages, and we are here to change this!

Help us to rescue this incredibly sad girl, and several others, by contributing now to our Summer Shelter Run!! We rely entirely on support from the public to do what we do, and we cannot do it without you.

Our SUMMER SHELTER RUN has been launched and we need you!

This senior lost his owner and, as a result, also lost his home and his freedom and all he knew life to be. 😩
As if that wasn't enough, he then lost his kitty sibling whose health rapidly deteriorated due to the same losses.
💔

There's no end to the sad stories we come across when we visit the municipal shelters, which is why we've made it our goal to create new chapters of rescue, freedom and happiness for these very deserving little ones.

When we do a shelter run we do our best to take those cats who need us most. With us, they are safe and free, and they can begin to live again. ❤️

Please help us to make this happen for this sad boy and several others by participating now in our Summer Shelter Run! We rely completely on support from the public to do what we do and we cannot do it without you.

$100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat; every donation of any amount adds up to save more lives.

Late June, what a time!
Graduations, Proms, Retirement Parties, Vacations!
and
Shelter cages FILLED with sad, scared cats with nothing to comfort them.
💔

Please,
if we can all just take a minute or two out of our busy lives to pause to make a difference for these little souls who need us!! They've been surrendered, given up, discarded and lost - and now they're completely alone to deal with the pain of that while sitting in metal cages surrounded by strangers and barking dogs. 😫

Help us to rescue as many as we can, including this desperate little girl, by contributing now to our Summer Shelter Run!!

$100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat; every donation of any amount adds up and allows us to save more lives.

SUMMER'S HERE AND THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR A SHELTER RUN!!

If you follow us you know this means we are setting out to rescue some desperate shelter cats from their cages!

Especially now, the municipal shelters are fully loaded with an endless stream of kittens - adorable and purrfect kittens - which means all of the amazing adult and senior cats who've already been sitting and waiting to be chosen have MORE competition and will likely go overlooked even longer 😩

The overwhelming stress of confinement in a shelter setting puts these cats at risk of developing health or behavioral problems that then put their lives at risk. 💔

Help us to change this for this sad boy, and several others, by contributing now to our Summer Shelter Run! $100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat but every dollar donated adds up to save more lives ! Your donation to our not-for-profit organization is tax deductible! EIN 46-0868998

DONATE HERE:
https://www.goldenpawsociety.org/shelter-run-fund.html

Once with us, our rescued cats are SAFE and cared for by our all-volunteer team at our peaceful Adoption Center while we prepare them for adoption. Any discovered medical needs are addressed with our trusted veterinarians.

These cats need and deserve the second chance we can give them, and we rely entirely on public support to make it happen!

If you cannot donate, please engage! Comment, like, and SHARE! We need you!

Remember Grant
Remember Lee
but most of all
remember that not all adult cats are going to sell themselves to prospective adopters.

They've lived lives before meeting you and they've experienced a few layers of stress and pain, so they're not always (hardly ever) going to jump into your arms and say I love you and be mine!!

Instead of walking into a space filled with cats and waiting for the one who chooses you, maybe make it your goal to be the one who chooses them no matter what.

If everyone realized how many cats were desperately in need of humans doing this, we actually would not have to exist as an organization. 🤔

GRANT (pictured here) got picked tonight! He's been with us a few months, quietly biding his time. He is such a perfect, sweet soul who has gone long overlooked because he will not sell himself. Tonight he didn't have to.

🥰

Happy Adoption, sweet boy! Can't wait for updates.

❤️
