Meet Scarlet! Now at the Apex Petsmart….

Scarlet came to Paw Prints as a skinny new mom with kittens less than 10 days old. She proved to be a devoted, attentive mother, but when it comes to other cats, Scarlet prefers to be the star of the show. A true diva, she was fittingly named after Scarlett O’Hara from Gone with the Wind.

Scarlet adores her foster mom and is very clear about her expectations: plenty of delicious canned food and lots of attention. She’s confident, affectionate on her own terms, and full of personality. With her striking beauty and sassy attitude, Scarlet is ready to be someone’s one-and-only queen. 👑

Happy New Year!! We are updating our photo album with current photos of our kitties still available for adoption. Some are new, and some have been with us for quite some time. Help us find them their humans by sharing our posts. If you’d like to meet them, an application is always the first start.
We currently have some of them at the Apex and Morrisville Petsmart locations and can be seen through the window.

As we come to the end of another year, we want to pause and say thank you—from the bottom of our hearts—to every single person who has supported our rescue this year.

To our followers, who share our posts, cheer on our animals, and help us spread the word—you make our reach so much bigger than we could ever manage alone.

To our adopters, who opened your homes and hearts to a rescue cat or dog—thank you for choosing adoption and giving these animals the second chances they so deeply deserve. Watching them thrive with you is the greatest reward we could ask for.

To our donors, fosters, volunteers, transporters, and supporters, whether you helped once or a hundred times—your generosity, time, and compassion quite literally save lives. Every vet visit, meal, warm bed, and safe landing spot happens because of you. ❤️

This year wasn’t always easy. Rescue never is. But because of this community, countless cats and dogs are ending the year safe, loved, and home…some for the very first time.

As we head into the new year, we encourage everyone to continue choosing adoption, supporting local shelters and rescues, spaying and neutering, and advocating for animals who don’t have a voice. There are still so many waiting, and together, we can keep making a difference…one life at a time.

Thank you for being part of our rescue family. We couldn’t do this without you, and we’re so grateful to walk into the new year with such an incredible community by our side. 🐶🐱❤️

Here’s to more lives saved, more happy tails, and more purrs in the year ahead.

Watch until the end.
Adele, Peeps and Brioche are the last of their respective litters to find their people. They are absolute purrfection but just haven’t been picked yet.
Come say hello to them at PetSmart.

Brioche and friends…. Come say hi to him at Apex PetSmart.

We also have a full house of available kitties in Morrisville. If you’re searching for a kitty to welcome to your family, check them out in both locations.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄
Did your pets get gifts under the tree? Share a photo in the comments—we’d love to see them! 🐾

Meet Berlioz. He opened a present just for him this Christmas. He’s been with us since he was a tiny kitten and, at just 1½ years old, is still waiting for his forever home.

He loved celebrating with his foster family, but his biggest wish is a family of his own. Could that be you? 🎁🐱

Merry Christmas! 🎄

Adele and her brother Bruno. These two siblings are purrfection in our opinion so we’re not sure why they haven’t been adopted yet. We would love to see them adopted together since they have been best of friends since day 1 (both were the runt of their litter) but would be ok separated as long as they had a kitty friend in their new home. Please help us find them a home for the holidays by sharing this post with anybody you know who may be looking to add felines to their home.
We are also at both Morrisville and Apex PetSmart through Christmas. Come see our kitties through the adoption windows. 🐈

The Story of Paw Print’s Volunteers who love Animals....

We are a small group of dedicated volunteers working tirelessly to save as many dogs and cats as responsibly as possible in our state of North Carolina. We pull from shelters all over so these animals will not be euthanized due to overcrowded shelters, in addition to finding many of our adoptable animals off the streets or from dangerous situations. We welcome these wayward animals into our homes and give them all the love we can in addition to medicating, cleaning, holding them and giving them comfort when they need it most. Sadly, we are with many of these animals when they take their final breath, and we cry many tears from heartache.

We also have volunteers who dedicate countless hours each week to TNR (Trap, Neuter & Release) helping to reduce the cat population that has skyrocketed all over North Carolina. TNR is vital in keeping animals OUT of shelters where they will be otherwise killed. We spend every weekend hosting adoption events at various Petsmart locations in Wake County meeting potential adopters. Adopting an animal into a loving and forever home is our mission, and when we adopt one, we can save another......and another......

Please adopt.....if you can’t adopt, consider fostering....if you can’t foster, volunteer. If you can’t volunteer, please donate...no amount is too big or small.....
