While PAWS strives to find any animal that walks through our doors a home, there are a few cats and dogs that have been at PAWS so long that our volunteers are saying, “It’s time to get these animals adopted!”
Harry, Kit and Leo on the cat side and Bailey on the dog side have each been in the care of PAWS for more than a year or even two. All are wonderful animals and definitely a deserving of a home, but have yet to find that perfect family.
PAWS wants nothing more than to complete that missing link before 2012 comes to a close.
How can you resist that sweet face?
This loving, handsome and friendly guy with a small notch in one ear is the king of the PAWS cattery! Harry makes a good bed companion and when it is time to work, he thinks his fascination with computers will make him a great office assistant!
Harry also loves belly rubs and toys, especially shoestrings. He likes to scratch, but knows that’s what scratching posts are for.
Harry lived exclusively outside before coming to PAWS, and now can get stressed when around too many cats. He would do best as the only cat in a home, but may be okay with a female feline companion.
Bailey—PAWS resident for 572 days
Deemed all-around awesome and sweet dog by PAWS volunteers, Bailey is a 6-year-old Lab/Spaniel mix who loves to climb and snuggle onto laps. He is proud of his good manners and the fact that he can be left in a home alone, despite not being crate trained!
Check out that smile on Bailey's face!
Bailey is searching for a home without younger children since he can be scared of them, but older children are okay. Bailey has also requested that he not share his future family with any other furry siblings.
Bailey is so eager to find a new home that he will willingly participate in free dog training classes once adopted. He has already got a jump on this training through the PAWS Pet Partner Program!
Kit and Leo—A Duo at PAWS for 1,011 days
Kit and Leo have come a long way since being rescued from a feral cat colony and spending their first months at PAWS extremely shy and frightened.
Kit has definitely come out of her shell, making a breakthrough while in a foster home two holidays ago. She now looks forward to visitors at PAWS! Leo is still hesitant about greeting strangers, but tends to follow Kit’s lead. PAWS volunteers have also found that food is the key to Leo’s heart.
Handsome Leo is on the left with beautiful Kit on the right.
What neither is shy about is attacking the red laser dot that has become a playtime favorite!
Kit and Leo offer each other so much comfort and support that PAWS promised them they will not be adopted separately and wants to remind any family concerned about adopting two cats at once of the Lloyd Alexander quote, “Two cats can live as cheaply as one, and their owner has twice as much fun!”
The ideal home for Kit and Leo would be one that is quiet with an adopter who is cat savvy and patient.
Please help make 2012 the best year for Kit and Leo, as well as Harry and Bailey, by sharing their stories with anyone who is thinking of welcoming a new furry family member into their home.
Better yet, hopefully your home has a spot for one of these wonderful animals!
