Introducing our new 4 month old medium - long haired calico ball of spicy fluff, Ariel. She is more fun than a county fair, but definitely requires a family with a level 9-10 in cat savvy! She adores playing, but her definition of playing is a little rougher than most.

But if you love this kind of kitten, you've had one before and you know wouldn't change her for all the money in the world. She's sassy and she's just as likely to bite (she doesn't break the skin), as she is to snuggle.

Once I explained the best way to interact with her, my grandkids (5-10) did great with her and thought she was tons of fun!

Can you imagine? She was adopted and returned!!?

Like I said, if you know, you know (I grew up with one and it was a blast!). You can apply for her by accessing our application using the link below:

We plan to have these kitties at Boozy Bingo & Benefit at Craft Putt this Sunday at Craft Putt in Overland Park. The event begins at 11:30. The cats and kittens in the video are available for adoption.

To make the process smoother, we recommend submitting an application in advance. This:

Speeds up the process
Ensures we hold kitties that have meet and greets firmly planned
Helps us determine the best match for your home Avoids any confusion about order of applications

Here’s the direct link to our application:
https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=mp2357&method=online_form_html&formid=41

Filling out an application does not obligate you to adopt. If you’re unsure which kitten is the right fit, just describe the personality you’re looking for—we know them well from their foster homes and can make recommendations!

Help us have a good adoption day!

Hi! Short notice, I know, but can anyone help load or unload a pallet of cat food today?

Loading is at "The Caves" 8710 NE Underground Dr, Randolph, MO (it's NE KC) at 2 pm and will take about 20 minutes.

Unloading is at our storage unit at 11675 S Strang Line Rd, Olathe, at about 3:15 and will take about 30 mins. You'll have to park outside the gate and can come in through the office.

Let me know in the comments if you are coming. You can have a couple cases of cat food or a cat bed for your trouble.

Thank you!

Your Donations Save Lives – Flurry’s Story

Cats Pawjamas has received many generous donations from our recent fundraising plea, and we are deeply grateful for every single one! Your support makes it possible for us to continue rescuing and caring for cats and kittens in need.

Here’s a perfect example of why your contributions matter.

This is Flurry. He came to us as a tiny, four-week-old kitten who still needed bottle feeding. A little shy by nature, he didn’t always stand out at adoption events, but we knew he would find his perfect home in time.

Then, at about eight months old, something changed. Flurry became extremely picky with his food—yet still eager for mealtimes. He started losing weight. Now, at less than six pounds when he should be at least nine, it’s clear that something is very wrong.

After a vet visit and blood work, we discovered he is anemic, likely from malnourishment. The most concerning find? A severe lesion on his gum, likely caused by his upper canine tooth. While we never want to remove a healthy tooth, this may be the reason he struggles to eat. The surgery isn’t guaranteed to fix the issue, but at this time, it's our only hope. We are currently hand feeding him a very expensive food multiple times a day.

The cost of his care—blood work, vet visits, and the upcoming surgery—is estimated at $450–$550. This is exactly why we always worry about our medical reserves. Emergencies like Flurry’s can arise at any time, and we need to be able to act fast.

If you’ve already donated—thank you! Your generosity makes it possible for us to give cats like Flurry a fighting chance. If you haven’t had the opportunity yet, now is the perfect time. Every dollar helps ensure that Flurry and others like him receive the care they need.

Flurry may not be able to tell you himself, but as you watch him purr in this video, know that your kindness is giving him hope.

URGENT: Help Us Save More Cats and Kittens! 🐾

Dear Friends and Supporters,

First and foremost, a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has generously contributed to Cats Pawjamas Rescue Society, whether through monetary donations or essential supplies from our Chewy wishlist. Your unwavering support has been invaluable.

The Challenge We Face:

In 2024, due to policy changes by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, many sick kittens from Kansas's largest shelter were euthanized instead of being transferred to rescues like ours. This led to a significant decrease in the number of kittens we could save and, consequently, a $5,800 shortfall in our donations.

Despite these challenges, we successfully found loving homes for over 130 cats last year. Each of these cats received:

Basic Medical Care: Vaccinations, deworming, and spaying/neutering.

Illness Treatment: Many arrived with colds or other ailments requiring antibiotics and additional medications.

The Reality:

Our financial reserves are now at their lowest since our founding, when we started with a $1,000 grant from the Doctors Morrill Foundation. To continue our mission and save as many, if not more, cats this year, we urgently need to rebuild our reserves.

How You Can Help:

Your generous donation can make a world of difference. Here's how you can contribute:

Venmo: -Pawjamas

PayPal:

CashApp: $CatsPawjamas

Every dollar counts and brings us closer to our goal of providing a safe haven for these innocent lives.

Thank you for your continued support and compassion. Together, we can make 2025 a year of hope and new beginnings for countless cats and kittens.

With gratitude,

Michelle Beiger DePrima

One of our favorite litters is The World's Best Cat Litter. Unfortunately, because we don't have a physical location, we can't become one of their partners. However, for every picture posted on social media with the photo frame and hash tag, 5 lbs of litter is donated to a non-profit.

Even if we can't get any, I want to help others get some! Here's the link to their frame if you want to contribute.

Shiro went home this evening!

It was a tough call, there's a lot of competition in this house, but after a bit of a rough start (a little Stranger Danger) he sold himself like a Tippin's pie at Thanksgiving!

Shiro will have an 8 month old brother to keep him hopping. Congratulations 🎉

Cats Pawjamas thanks our friends of the rescue, Roger and Aimee for their contribution in memory of their cat, Joan Jett. Happily, they have already adopted a pair of juvenile siblings from North Bergen Purr , a rescue in NJ.
