Two Truths and A Lie- Food Edition
It is time for our favorite game- Two Truths and a Lie. This week, we are talking about food and nutrition. Which ones are true and which one is the lie?
1. We feed our cats whatever food we get donated so the brand changes from week to week.
2. We have many cats on special diets, so we get regular shipments of special foods to keep them healthy.
3. We use CBD oil to help our scared and feral cats transition better into the shelter. This is added into their food each day.
Let us know what you think is true and what is the lie! Stay tuned for the answer and some additional fun facts straight from our volunteers, which I will add on Friday!

This handome and very large good boy is named Whopper and he is on the nicest list! He is not for adoption and is very loved and cared for by one of our volunteers. She asked if she could share his story with all of you because it emphasizes what we have been talking about: some cats just need time to warm up to show you their true selves. Here is Whoppers story:

Whopper came to PAWS in 2020 from the TNR program, he was found in a junkyard, and upon examination had many wounds on his body and holes in his feet. He was very underweight. Yet at his impressive size was still pretty scary for all of us volunteers.

I remember the day I got to meet whopper I was in awe of just how huge he was. I was determined to make him my friend . Over several months of working with him, the big lovable teddy bear inside came out, and Whopper came to join our home in 2021.

When Whopper first came home with us he was hiding in the closet for quite a bit, and you could not reach your hand out to pet his head, he had quite a fear of hands above him.

After lots of love and patience, he is one of the most gentle, loving cats we have. All of his shyness and fears are completely gone.

He is a huge fan of head bumps, is always the first one to the dinner plate, and we couldn’t be happier owning him.

Plainfield Agway is getting into the holiday spirit and helping Paws and our Community by collecting donations in their store. Wolfie says this is his happy face and he wants you to go right down and visit them and fill up their donation box because he is positively wasting away. We truly appreciate our community and our businesses that support Paws- we couldn't do it without them. You can do your part by supporting them when you are doing your holiday shopping (or every day shopping) and don't forget to leave a donation for Wolfie!

***Wellness Wednesday***
We wanted to share this happy update to all of you! Juliette was posted in August - she was ready for adoption. She had come to us after having been hit by a car. While she was not a $5.00 Friday, this poor girl went through a lot and we are so happy to report that she was finally adopted into her furever home! While Juliette does require a monthly injection, her new mom was not fazed in the least by that! We are so happy that Juliette is now living her best life and look forward to many happy updates! This is what Rescue is about for us. Helping the ones that need us most. Watching them heal, come out of their shell, and finding the family that they deserve. Congratulations to Juliette and her new person!
