Vespurr went home with her new family this afternoon!

Trust me, she's happier than she looks 😜

It's dangerous for aquarium fish in foster homes...

Chewy Clause is reading pet's letters and possibly granting wishes. My own cat, Talent's, letter to Chewy Clause is below. (He's so generous 😆).

If your pet wants to send their own letter to Santa, here's the link (and Chewy will send 1 lb of food to pets in need via the Good Program).

Alternatives you can use for a treat (these are NOT nutritionally complete)...
Goat's Milk hàs no lactose
Lactaid or a generic.... It's expensive, but my cats enjoy it.

🚫🥛 Resist the urge to offer cats milk!

Despite what cartoons and movies might suggest, milk isn’t a treat for most cats—it can actually cause digestive issues. 🐾 Many cats are lactose intolerant, meaning their digestive systems can’t properly break down dairy, which can lead to diarrhea and discomfort.

If you want to treat your feline friend, try something cat-friendly like:
🐱 A small piece of cooked chicken or fish
🐱 Store-bought cat treats

Remember, fresh water is all your cat truly needs to stay hydrated! 💧 Let’s keep our kitties happy and healthy by sticking to what’s best for them.





Many thanks to Cat Behavior Associates for this information and graphic.

I'm sure you've noticed, it's all or nothing in terms of posting from me!

Reminder, we are having a silent auction at the end of January and would love to have lots of items! While we wouldn't mind a few, we are targeting items valued at a minimum of $25.

We have 1,500 followers, I just know some of you have access to goods or services (including gift cards) that can be donated to a 501(c)(3). We can provide a receipt that includes our EIN.

PLEASE...

1. Let us know you have a donation by...

Texting us at (913) 353-6010
Emailing us at [email protected]
Message us here

2. Post this on your own page, here are a few reasons why we are deserving:

-Since 2021 we have found homes for 454 cats and kittens.
-Most of these kittens were rescued from the largest "kill shelter" in the state.
-One-third of the kittens and cats that we rescue are ill or injured.
-We are a Foster Network rescue and all our cats live in homes with their caretakers.
-Cats Pawjamas gained its 501(c)(3) status in May, 2020 and began rescuing cats with the proceeds of a $1,000 grant from the Drs Morrill Foundation.
-All our cats and kittens are spayed or neutered and microchipped before going home.

Below are pictures of a kitten we got recently that had to have her back leg amputated. She's about 4 months old. She's the second Tri-Pod in the house 😂

A reporter for the KC Star interviewed us this past week and took pictures at today's adoption event.

I need help from our newspaper reading followers....

The reporter isn't told when they will choose to publish the article. Probably in the next 4-6 weeks though. If it's in print, it will be in the Sunday paper, if it's online only, it could be any day.

If you see it, please save it and let us know by tagging us or sending us a message!

Thank you! The article might have a picture of little cranberry in it.

Hello, Cat Lovers!

We’re fundraising again, but this time, we’re not asking for cash! Instead, we’re reaching out for a small portion of your time and generosity—no cash involved.

Due to recent challenges, including changes by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and basic inflation, 2024 is shaping up to be a financially difficult year for Kansas rescues. To continue helping cats and kittens, we urgently need to rebuild our financial base.

On January 27th, Cats Pawjamas will be the beneficiary of a "Painting it Forward" event at Pinot's Palette in Olathe! This fun event will feature a silent auction, and we may even have a bake sale. But we need your help to make it a success.

With over 1,500 followers, we believe we can make a big difference with your support in the following ways:

1. Donate Gift Cards or Unused Gifts: Have a gift card you don’t need? Or an unused item from last Christmas? Donate it to support the kitties!

2. Business Owners/Managers: If you own or manage a business, could you donate one or more gift cards or products? We’ll gladly mention your business in our auction catalog as a thank-you.

3. Give an Hour of Your Time: If you’re unable to donate items, could you spend an hour or two calling local businesses or asking friends and family who manage businesses if they’d support our rescue?

You can drop donations off with us at our bi-weekly Olathe PetSmart Adoption Events, located at the back of the store. We’ll be there Sundays from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. on 11/17, 12/1, 12/15, and 12/29.

Questions or need a copy of our 501(c)(3) letter? Text us at (913) 353-6010 or email us at [email protected].

Please share this message, and thank you for supporting Cats Pawjamas! Together, we can make a difference for Kansas kitties in need.

We have our winners from our Meow-velous Moments Photo Contest!

Our First Place Winner is Madison Richie with a photo of Willie (A Cats Pawjamas Alum!) with 100 Votes! That's $100 raised for the rescue. Madison is also donating her gift certificate back to Cats Pawjamas.

Our Second Place Winner is Sheryl Conard-Walker She entered 2 photos, 1 of Spirit, 1 of Silver, Boo, Magic and Tank and the photos are tied for second place!

Her prize is a $50 gift certificate towards a pet portrait.

We raised almost $300 dollars which is pretty good considering we had no entries a week before the end of the contest. We may do it again, so keep those cute photos somewhere you can find them!

***** I am so excited to see that we are getting some participants and voters in our Meow-velous Moments Photo Contest! We've decided to extend the contest through Monday! *****

Hey everyone!

Today’s the FINAL DAY of our Meow-velous Moments photo contest, and we could really use your help! We have only two entries so far, so it’s a fantastic chance to snag one of our two grand prizes—a gift certificate for a custom pet portrait! Our artist can create beautiful portraits with multiple pets, pets and people, or any custom twist you’d like. (Check out the sample portrait below!)

Entering is easy and only $5, and every $1 vote from your friends and family helps support our rescue. Plus, with such low participation, each vote really makes a difference for the kitties!

Please share this post! Every bit of support counts, and we'd love to see your favorite furry photos in the contest! Thank you for helping us make this event a success!

I posted about Stormy last week. She was the kitten that came from animal control I'm Wichita, developed terrible eyes and turned into a beautiful gray girl.

Well she was adopted at her debut at PetSmart! By one of the first families there on Sunday. Here she is in her new home.

We love getting pictures of our our kids in their new homes!

I need my shares to share! I'm counting on all of you!

The weather is gorgeous, and our animals are loving it! My own cat, Blaque, is strutting his stuff with a GPS collar, clocking in over 6 miles a day like a true adventurer.

Now, about that photo contest we’ve been hyped about… Let’s just say it hasn’t quite taken off yet. But here’s your chance to change that! Want to support our cats and show off your own pet? Submit a favorite photo (or three, because why not?) of your furry (or not-so-furry) friend. We’re not picky about species—hamsters, dogs, lizards, they’re all welcome. Each entry is only $5!

Then, rally your friends and family on Facebook (or however you like) to vote for your masterpiece. Each vote is just $1, and honestly, what else can you get for $1 these days? Certainly not a McDonald’s meal!

The best part? You could win a gift certificate for a custom mid-century style pet portrait—your choice of one pet, two, or even a full family shot with your pet. A timeless keepsake to treasure.

With everything going on—from wild weather to heated elections—there’s one thing we can all agree on: cute pet photos make the world a better place. So, show some love to Cats Pawjamas by entering your pics and casting a few votes. You might even find a new favorite along the way!

Let’s do this for the animals—Blaque's already got his Halloween costume on!
