Every donation goes a long way in keeping our cats comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. 🧡🐈‍⬛

Adoption Update- Rune (Clem) and Linnell (Linny)

Their mom Karina writes:

“I couldn't have asked for a better pair to call my own 💕

Linny came into my life in late January when I first joined the PAWS family. I laid eyes on her and immediately fell in love, didn't even hear what the other volunteer was explaining to me 😂 all I could see was her. So I filled out her application later that same day, and that Saturday, I took her home. It's been 6 months with her, with Rune joining us in mid-March.

When I adopted her, I knew the chances were high I'd never be able to pet her, or even go near her. All that mattered to me was that she felt safe and understood for the rest of her life.

In the beginning, she stayed in my closet where I put her set-up. I read to her, talked about my day, negotiated wet food, you know, the sorts 😂 I really think we both saved each other. Cats are pretty cool like that.

Rune joining us was the best decision I think I could've made for both of us. I get the snuggles, and Linny gets a role model. She's learned to meow, and has become so curious. Not to mention she's flourished like nothing else. She loves going into my roommate's room to roll in her socks and lick the walls 😂😂 she also comes over whenever I have something she likes the smell of.

These days, Linny spends her days lounging in the sun on the ottoman, curled up in the stuffed animal nest, wrestling with Clem, and begging for food she can't have (gee, wonder which cat she learned that from 😂)

Here's to 6 months of Linny 💕”

😻 We have wonderful cats that are waiting for a family- could it be YOU??
