HANSI
Hansi, formerly known as Taz, is officially home! At just 1.5 years old, this sweet boy has found his forever family, and we couldn’t be happier for him.
Hansi has begun a wonderful new chapter surrounded by a family who will love and cherish him for years to come. We are so grateful to his new family for opening their hearts and home to him and giving him the happy ending he deserves.
Hansi's adopted parent said "He chose us at the open house! And since he’s been here, he’s blooming! He may still be a bit shy, but he is becoming an affectionate and purring cat."
MAX
We adopted Max in May 2023 after losing our other black kitty a few months before.
Max instantly made himself at home, befriending our dog Reese and our other cat Penny.
Max's hobbies include bird-watching, mouse-hunting in our basement, and keeping us company while we work.
He's been a great addition to our family!

THEO
Theo, a black cat, was adopted to be a buddy to Leo, an only and lonely kitty. They became fast friends almost immediately.
He is a chatter box always trilling or chatting away.
Theo's favorite food is whatever is in Leo’s bowl even if they have the same exact thing. He loves Churu sticks and freeze-dried chicken hearts.
Theo's is favorite activities include the laser pointer, zoomies, sitting on top of Leo, wrestling with Leo, snuggling with Leo and sometimes snuggling with mom. TQ
FOGGY
Last October, Foggy (formerly Lego) adopted my wife and I from PAWS and we love him more and more every single day. HUGE shout out to PAWS and your entire team of amazing people.
Thank you for everything you do for every cat that comes into your care.
The work you do and the loving care you show every cat is truly inspiring and a blessing. CP
MOLLY
Molly (formerly known as Mary Bailey) has been with me for two years now and is still happy and healthy.
She's also still known as The Spoiled Girl! She loves her windows, porch, paper towels, nap spots and toys. Her favorite thing to do is to go to the bathroom with people, even those she's just met, and have them pet her from the "throne"!
If they don't let her in, she sits outside the door and yells at them when they come out. Everyone loves that she's so friendly. She's wonderful and I couldn't be happier!

PIXIE
You helped me adopt Pixie last year. She was super scared and timid during her time with PAW's fosters and at the Kitty Cat Cafe on Route 1.
I wanted to thank you for your support in the adoption process. She is a completely different cat with my boyfriend and I now. She is finally accepting pets and love.
I figured you would appreciate her transformation! RL
