Have you met Queen Bee Pattypan yet? 👑

Pattypan is a playful gal who enjoys anything with catnip!

She is known to have some tortitude (tortie cat + attitude) at times, so she is looking for cat-savvy parents who don't have any cats or younger children; teenagers and dogs should be okay.

Come meet Pattypan anytime PAWS is open.

Chops has been in his forever home for about a month, and it's clear that he is doing amazing!

His grandma checked in to say, "He fits in with our other fur babies great. At 16 pounds, chow time is his favorite. He will let you know by meowing very loudly if you're even five minutes late for his feeding times!

His other favorite thing is cuddling. He's just the sweetest big boy, and we love him so much!”

Are you looking for a parrot -- well the feline version? 🦜😺

Tonks is a social cat who enjoys being the center of attention and will likely follow you around the house to know what you are doing. She often climbs up on shoulders and perches for attention like a parrot.

She can occasionally give love bites when she is over stimulated so she would do best in a home with adults or older kids. Tonks was living with a dog and should be good with another dog.

With the frigid weather on the way, here are more good tips for any outdoor cats you are caring for from our friends at The Hundred Cat Foundation.

Plus, instructions on how you can make an outdoor shelter for them with a simple Styrofoam cooler and straw: https://www.hundredcats.org/outdoorcatcare.html

With a parade of winter storms hitting most of the country, it's a good time to make sure your outdoor cats are comfortable and safe. It's important to shovel OUT and shovel a path TO your outdoor cat shelters so kitty can easily get inside. Be sure to check water dishes frequently if they are not heated so fresh water is always available and consider increasing the amount of dry food you feed as cats burn more calories in cold weather.

"She knows she's a princess" -- a sign you know you are about to read a great !

"Rae-Rae was adopted from PAWS in March 2023, and she has been the highlight of our lives since we first adopted her.

She has put plenty of smiles on our faces since we lost our other pup Kylee at age 9 with osteoarthritis in early February 2023. Rae is living her best life, and she knows she's a princess.

She loves "go", "grammy", "walk", "treat", "squirrel", "rabbit", "ride", and is learning to press colored buttons for things she wants. She will be 3 in June."

How old do you think this handsome guy is? 🤔 Here's more about him before we give you the answer:
🐱 Likes to play with mouse toys and occasionally will give string a good chase
🐱 Loves rubbing his chin on everything
🐱 Gets the zoomies
🐱 Loves drinking from a water fountain - always ends up with a wet head/chest
🐱 Sleeps belly up a lot!

Have a guess? Ted, also known as Teddy Bear, is 11 years young. The oldest we have gotten when we have asked people before is 7 years!

Ted is declawed and diabetic. He gets twice daily insulin injections, but he takes them like a champ! While he is wary of children, he is social at large adult gatherings.

Since Ted lives full-time in a foster home, apply online to start the process to meet him!

A appreciation goes out to PAWS Volunteer Sara B.

Sara has been with PAWS about 20 years and has fostered dozens of animals in that time. Since she is also on our medical team and particularly skilled in handling fearful cats, Sara often fosters our most challenging medical cases. Her expert help allows PAWS to provide the individual care and consideration at the core of our mission. Their time with Sara means a chance at recovery or, when needed, a loving hospice home.

Picklewich is Sara's most recent special foster. When he arrived at PAWS this fall, he was unable to stand or walk on his own. Sara made a place for Picklewich in her heart and her home, providing him the specialized care and love he deserved. While we ultimately said goodbye to Picklewich, his story reminds us of the good work our volunteers do for the animals of Centre County.

Thank you Sara for always going the extra mile to care for all of the PAWS animals you have helped through the years.

The loaves of your life are waiting at PAWS!
Barley (white dog) and Rye (brown dog) are two of the sweetest pups you'll ever meet. They're a bonded pair, meaning they must be adopted together. They're both housebroken, do well left alone, and are the biggest cuddle bugs during bad weather. They also love going on walks together and get along with everyone they meet. They are also both around 20lbs!

They're waiting for their forever homes, and we know they'll make the perfect companions for someone lucky enough to adopt them. If you are interested, apply through our website today!

P.S. Barley and Rye's adoption fees have been generously paid for by their guardian angels!
