Gretel is a beautiful, sweet and social girl who instantly grabs everyone's attention when she rubs up for pets purring. When she's done with getting attention, or just wants to stir things up, she gives a nip to let you know. She would do well as a solo cat with a family who can make sure she gets the exercise and attention she needs.

Punch came to PAWS as a stray. He isn't fond of the shelter environment, so he is in fostering and in just 24 hours he blossomed into a great pet. He loves walks and when he returns, he is all for snuggling up on the sofa. He knows basic commands and does well when crated.

Maggie can be willful sometimes, so will need a strong consistent hand, and sometimes a time out. She bonds easily with women and can be selective with men. No small children because she doesn't like to share her food. Maggie is good with other small dogs and is housebroken. She needs a fenced in yard so she can run and play, especially with another small dog.

Shamrocky is a 6-year-old male domestic long hair brown tabby that was found as a stray. He is engaging, curious and friendly and will always greet visitors to his kitty condo looking for attention. He likes pets and seems to have a gentle nature. He is FIV positive and would need to be the only cat in a home, live with other FIV positive cats, or possibly live with other non-aggressive cats.
