Single lady looking to be the only cat in your life. Meet Mrs. Howell- she is a sweet girl who adores attention. She chirps at you when she doesn’t feel you are giving her the adoration she know she deserves.
She loves people but doesn’t really like other cats. She is very food motivated, loves to play, and would be a great companion for an older couple or a family with older children. We have posted a video in the comments as well.

Mrs. Howell is spayed, up to date on vaccines, FIV, Felv negative and looking for her forever home.

She lives in a foster home, so if you are interested, please fill out an application and once approved we can arrange for you to meet her.

We have a great update on Jack❤️❤️. He was an original $5 Friday and we did an update a couple of weeks ago as he was not feeling well. Went he went to the vet a couple of weeks ago, Dr Sam was very concerned as he was not eating. He sent Jack home with more meds and a lot of love and prayers. Well it worked.!! He was at Dr Sam’s yesterday and We got this from his foster mom

“Hi, I just got home with Jack, good news. His Labs came up from 7.5 to 11.5, it's still a far cry from 30 where he should be, but it's in the right direction. They said they cannot believe he is still alive!🙀 They gave him more steroids (which he will get every two weeks), to continue the Cyclosporin, and to put him back on Varenzin which showed a little promise back in November. He goes back in 10 days”
We all believe in the power of love and we know that love Is keeping Jack going.
We could still use your help with his vet bill. His vet cost was around $1000 in 2024 and it most likely be the same in 2025 if not more. We don’t care!! We will not give up on Jack and we know our supporters will not as well.

Thank you from Jack, his foster mom and everyone at Paws Cat Shelter

Is your home missing some major kitten energy? Do you like it when cats climb up high and look down at your like they are your overlord? Have you always wondered how much dust is on top of your cabinets, but don't feel like going up to check? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Riko and Runo may be just what you are looking for!

Riko (white) and Runo (tabby) were part of a litter of 4 kittens that were dumped on the street. A good Samaritan brought them to us, concerned about their well-being. They were born (approx) in July of 2023. These boys are playful, mischevious, and love to climb high and get into everything. They are a little nervous and may take a day or two to get used to their surroundings. They are not lap cats- they want to be busy, eat, sleep, repeat.

If you don't want a pair of crazy kittens, then look elsewhere! If you are looking for hours of entertainment, hiding spots you never knew existed, and having all of your knick-knacks rearranged, then these are the brothers for you.

In all seriousness, these are great boys who can't wait to start their lives in there forever home. They may be over a year old, but nobody told them that they should be starting to calm down- they still have full kitten curiosity and energy. They are often overlooked at the shelter because they are too busy exploring to stop and say hello.

These boys need a home without dogs. They would also do best with children 10+ or no children because they are so full of energy. They are both neutered, up to date on vaccines, FIV, FeLV negative, and microchipped.

If you think your home can withstand these handsome boys and you can't wait to make them part of your family, fill out an application here: https://woodstockcats.org/adopt

You can meet them during our open house every Saturday (unless noted on our FB page) from 12-3.

Forever Home: Bradford's Adoption Story

Bradford's mom, who also happens to be a volunteer, shared Bradford's adoption story with us and it is such an amazing story of patience, love, and triumph that we just had to share it with you. Here it is in her words:

Four years ago today, I brought home Bradford. To celebrate his “gotcha day”, I’d like to share his adoption story and some photos from the past year.
Before arriving at the shelter, Bradford was abandoned by his previous family. He was not used to being confined in a cage and initially took a few swipes at volunteers. He lost trust in people after being left out in the cold. But, some of the volunteers could tell he still yearned for love and affection, and over time he warmed up to having his head and shoulders scratched.
I made the decision to bring Bradford home for foster. He was hesitant around my cats at first and kept to himself. Then slowly he started feeling safe enough with them to sit on the same couch. Sitting together led to playing together, and playing together led to napping together side by side. He became best friends with my other gray-and-white cat Starfish, also a Paws alumnus. Seeing how he bonded with my other cats, I knew this was his permanent home.
Bradford still has some scars from his time outside, remnants of having to fend for himself. For the last four years he has thrived in my home, knowing he has a warm bed, plenty of food, and playmates to keep him company. He has blossomed into what I believe was his true personality all along - sweet, curious, and confident.

Two Truths and a Lie: Microchip Edition
1. Microchips can track cats in real time if they go missing.
2. All cats that are adopted out through Paws are microchipped.
3. The biggest reason that microchipped animals are not reunited with their owners when found is because the information for the chip is not updated.

Senior Spotlight-

Earlier in the week we introduced you to Grace and Zorro, here are the other 2 Senior kitties from the same home that need a place to spend their retirement.

Meet Daisy (11 years old, tortie) and Marlow (12+ years old, black cat). Again, these cats are well loved. They are up to date on vaccines and spayed or neutered.

Marlow is a sweet old man. He gets along with other animals. He does have Hyperthyroidism and he has no teeth. He needs a nice, cozy home to live out the rest of his life.

Daisy is a petite girl, only 6lbs. She craves attention! She has lived with dogs and does ok with them. She is ok with cats as well, but does get jealous of them when they are getting attention, so she would be ok in a home without other cats as well.

Their perfect home is someplace quiet- maybe with an older person or couple who are looking for a companion animal. They want to lounge around, be pet. No kitten zoomies here.

If you think you might be the perfect retirement home for either Daisy, Marlow, Grace, or Zorro- please reach out and we can get you in touch with their person.
