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!

Belle. She'd been left behind in an apartment when her humans moved without her.

Imagine the confusion. A place thought to be home, now empty and silent. Nobody there to provide any comfort. No familiar face coming in the front door to make it all ok.

Eventually she was found by the landlord, who then arranged to have her brought to a municipal shelter where she sat alone in a cage where we met her. (shelter pic in comments)

It hurts so much to know how much heartbreak animals have to endure.

Belle can't tell us all about it, but her eyes do.

She is just about 1yo. She's friendly, playful, sweet and gentle - and ready for a true friend.

Available now at our adoption center in Huntington Station NY.

When one ginger Kitty is not nearly enough!!

This truly golden moment was captured by one of our volunteers at our adoption center earlier today. 🤩

Gus and Morris and Spiros OH MY!

We have so many amazing cats waiting to be chosen for adoption. Until that happens, we are so grateful to be able to provide this beautiful space for them to feel free in. Every cat deserves to feel this good.

🥰

Our adoption center is in Huntington Station, New York.

Well with Munchie now adopted we hired Matteo to do the Monday Mantra.

He was supposed to have it ready this morning but he's been apparently struggling with it all day. We told him it's got to be something:

meaningful
mindful
and motivating.

We will post in the comments when he finally comes up with something...in the meantime send him some love. He is a wonderful boy and he's been waiting a while to get adopted.

Hang onto your hat for this announcement!!

Munchie, and his bed AND Lambchop have left the building!!

🤩 ADOPTED!!! 🤩

🥰😍

If you've been following, you know that we've had Munchie for quite a while and he put us through quite a ride with eye surgery and cone-wearing and then quite a scare awaiting biopsy results!

This boy very quickly won all of our hearts and we are SO THRILLED for him to finally have a human of his own! Best part is his new mom also fell for our newly-rescued Ricky (shelter pic in comments) so now they get to be brothers!!

😻😻 Congratulations to our boyz!!!

🤩 A lot going on at the moment.🤩

Little miracles are taking place. 🥰

Meg.
You met her during our recent Shelter Run while she was in a shelter cage. She was completely alone in the world and her heart was broken. 💔

Meet the real Meg now, at THIS moment, because there is a lot going on. She is no longer isolated, contained or denied freedom. Those things can do a number on a girl; eliminating those things changes everything!

Meg is so ready to live the life of the showgirl she is meant to live - cherished, loved and celebrated. ❤️

Ready when you are at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY

Guys!
It's real!
That thing they call love! It happened to me and it saved my life. 🤩

You met Lenny during our shelter run as the 10-year-old owner surrender who completely shut down and stopped eating because he could not bear what had happened to him.😩 (shelter pic in comments)

He had lost his home and everything he knew life to be when his family brought him to a town shelter and left him there. 💔

Lenny wasn't immediately cured of his pain upon arrival at our adoption center, but we have lathered so much love on him since then and helped bring him back to life! He has a fabulous appetite for food and an equally fabulous appetite for attention. We are thrilled to see him feeling grounded and solid, happy and hopeful. 🥰

The day Lenny gets adopted will be the best day ever, but until then we just love having this guy around as the most purrfect reminder of the importance of what we do. ❤️

Check out the comments for the best before-and-after glow up ever. We're not showing Lenny the picture because he never again wants to revisit the anguish of his abandonment. 💔

My God where do I begin. This woman taught so much and inspired so many! It is impossible to think of animal welfare and animal connection and not think of Jane Goodall.

She showed the world how important and amazing animals are and how each and every single one of them is completely unique and deserving of a life of dignity and respect. She showed it by living it and not just by the words she shared, though she shared so many words that were vital and important to a world thirsty for compassion.

She taught me and probably countless young girls growing up with her example that it's possible to choose an alternate lifestyle based on your passion and your interests and intellectual pursuits rather than following societal norms that leave you feeling flat and empty. Hers was a life of courage and innovation beyond anything we had seen most women pursuing.

As a child first learning of her time in the jungle studying chimpanzees, I wondered how she didn't get lonely or feel isolated. I was fascinated to realize that being among animals is probably the least lonely place you can be because they provide endless opportunity to remain present and to learn as you witness their magic.

I learned that a life of service and devotion to animals is not only a possibility but it feeds your soul.

In this world that is so hard on animals, I imagine she must have had her heart broken hundreds of thousands of times and yet she kept showing up with her whole heart to make a difference.

Thank you, Jane, for your courage and your class.

Finally the wait is over and our FALL SHELTER RUN REVEAL is here!!!!!

Thank you for patiently awaiting the pics of our 25 (!!) newly rescued cats!

They've all been safely tucked into their new digs at our Adoption Center and the magic is already starting to happen!! Some of them are already happily free-roaming and loving their freedom, others are enjoying the peace of this new space and working on gaining courage as they observe all.

As they decompress and realize they are safe, their true purrsonalities start to come out and we get to learn who they are.

We already think they are all amazing for being the survivors they are, and we know you will feel the same.

Every bit of this is made possible by YOU and your support for our shelter cat rescue mission. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for your generosity and compassion. Because of you, these cats now have the second chances they are so deserving of.

**We received sponsorships for more cats than we have space for, which is a nice problem to have because now we can run out and get more as soon as our space opens up with adoptions!! **

Please welcome these amazing newly-rescued cats to Golden Paw Society and get ready to fall in love 25 times! (actually, two pics are not there due to kitty witness protection so you will only see 23!)

🤩 We have THE most amazing, supportive followers ever!!! 🤩

Thanks to YOU, our FALL SHELTER RUN has been successful and we have a fabulous new crew of rescued cats safe under our roof tonight!

Everyone has been set up, fed and tucked in and tomorrow they will wake up in a peaceful new space to call home - home for now until they are adopted, home forever if they are not.

We have been busy busy busy making this happen as your donations came in! Our hands are full, our hearts are even fuller, with so many new little faces to love and get to know! 🥰

Cannot wait for you to meet them all! Stay tuned as we prepare their reveal! Until then, please know how very grateful we are for your love and support. Everything we are able to do is thanks to your compassionate belief in the importance of our shelter cat rescue mission!

THANK YOU!!

We are in the midst of our FALL SHELTER RUN and we need you!

Donations have been slow 😟 but the number of desperate shelter cats in need of rescue keeps growing and we've got to get them out! 😳 Any help you can offer will make the difference needed to save another life!

For this 9yo boy, all has been lost. His family surrendered him to a town shelter and he is in complete shut-down mode. Won't eat, won't move, can't lift his head. Done. For this boy, the need to be removed from the shelter setting is URGENT as cats who stop eating altogether can very quickly decline into a life-endangering health crisis. 😩

Please help us to save his life and several others by contributing now to our Shelter Run Fund.

Please help! We have launched our FALL SHELTER RUN and we need you!

Times are tough, and charities like ours are taking a hit. We are so appreciative of anyone who is able to make any donation at all. Please know that no donation is too small.

Sadly, we are seeing more and more cats suffering the consequences of these trying times as well. This purrfect girl lost everything she knew life to be when her owner was evicted. 😩 She needs the peaceful, nurturing space of our adoption center - not the isolation of a shelter cage.

Please help us to rescue this girl and several others by contibuting now to our Shelter Run Fund.

$100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat but every dollar donated adds up to save more lives.

We have launched our FALL SHELTER RUN. Are you in? It cannot happen without you!

There's a world of pain within her eyes.😞

We wish so much that the cats we rescue could tell us all they have been through, and that they could fully understand the words of comfort we offer in response. 💔

In the absence of that, we settle on the fact that we can bring immediate relief to shelter cats just by removing them from the shelter setting and providing a safe, peaceful space for them to heal in. ❤️

This is everything we are here for, but we can only do it with support from you.

Please help us to be here for this very desperate girl and several others with your contibution now to our shelter fun fund.

$100 sponsors the rescue of one shelter cat but every dollar makes a difference and helps us to save more lives.

*Our official link to DONATE is in the comments!*

Thank you so much for any amount you can give! Stay tuned to see who we are able to rescue thanks to you and everyone here who believes in the importance of our mission.
