PAWS - For the Love of Cats

Every Sunday morning at 10 a.m. is the same. I wake up after sleeping in, I love my weekends for that very own reason. Another reason I love my weekend is my excitement to help out at the PAWS Animal Shelter here in West Linn. It's a small no-kill cat shelter dedicated to placing many homeless cats and kittens into loving and caring homes. The owner Sharon is an angel to me. To dedicate her life to finding homes to these helpless creatures is so selfless and just wonderful. This weekend she was sick at home and no wonder, she works so much and so hard, not just here but for many other wonderful purposes in her life. Checkout her website. It's cute, she names her cats after celebrities when they come in. The pictures don't seem to be working on the website but I will let Sharon know.

I typically meet two other women there on Sundays, Sheila and Stacie. They are the sweetest two gals to work with. They educated me on everything there is to know when volunteering there. They are so dedicated to taking care of these sweet cats and making sure they are loved and taken care of at the shelter. I am proud to become a part of that family. :) Here are a few pictures of some of the cute little kitties waiting to find forever homes, although they are QUITE happy where they're at :)

This weekend Tami (my friend I had tea with Saturday) and her sister, Michelle came with me to help out! I was so happy! We had about 8 volunteers there this weekend. :)

Aren't these two the cutest. They just love sleeping together.

Hey lady, you and me, your car, closing time. You can take me home and I'll love ya forever. *wink*

This sweet little guy was full of love this weekend.

This is sweet, sweet Sunday. She was hit by a car and left on the road for two days until she was discovered and brought to the shelter. Her back end is mostly paralyzed so she scoots around with her front paws. Despite her disability she is always PURRRRRING....and all she wants is lots of love. She gets a lot of attention from all of us. She's as happy as can be!

Gotta love that face. He's a playful big guy. He fell asleep in my arms last weekend while I was brushing him. :)

Just sleeping or hanging out is what they do.

Oh and eating....

And playing....

And looking cute....

And looking beautiful....

And you can't help but to cuddle them...all of 'em!

Although these guys don't have homes yet, rest assured they are WELL taken care of. Sharon knows exactly who needs special care, at what times, etc.

If you are ever in the area, please stop by and see these cute guys or even adopt one or two or three! :) If you are unable to do that any donation would help these guys. :) I might need another one. :) If you have it in your heart, rescue an animal and they will thank you forever.
