Lou Lou
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Color: Grey & Orange Dilute
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: I will give you the most adoring looks when I want to be petted. I am very laid back and get along with all my cat friends here in Catroom 2. I like to sleep in little cubby places and need a house to run in because I am getting a little thick around my center here, it might have something to do with my new love of salty things like chips and crackers. When i here the rustle of a bag of chips, I come flying in the room to see what the humans are eating and hopefully sharing. I also have the cutest chirping meow I do to let everyone know where I am.

Sam
Age: 10 months
Sex: Male
Color: Orange Tabby
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Sam is a great looking boy with a very unique color. He loves the company of all the kitties but dogs make him nervous. He is a little shy, but is overcoming his fears. He was thought to be a feral kitten, that is why the tip of his ear is clipped, but is showing us that with a little time and a lot of love and patience, he is turning into quite the little love bug. His buddy is Dexter, but he could go home with anyone, or by himself. Come in and take a peek, he'll be peeking back at ya.

Pandita
Age:
Sex: Female
Color: White & Seal
Breed: Snowshoe Mix

Personality Profile: As content and comfortable as she looks in her picture, Pandita's happy ending almost did not exist. Left outside in her carrier in front of a local shelter on a cold January night, Pandita was extremely stressed out and hiding under the towels in her cage when the shelter staff got her inside. She also began to lose some of the fur on her backside. Paws4Ever was called and the shelter transferred her out to see if the open cat room environment would do the trick. Unfortunately, she was already so depressed, she chose to stop eating. The good folks at Veterinary Specialty Hospital donate their services once a quarter forPaws4Ever animals that need extra care and took Pandita's case. Dr. Concannon was quick to find a doctor that could see Pandita. Her blood results confirmed she had hepatic lipidosis. Since it was curable and diagnosed in time, a feeding tube was inserted and Pandita left for Executive Director, Tracy Carroll's home until she would eat on her own. For the next week and a half Pandita was tempted by food but she was content having the feeding tube be her source of nourishment. Finally about a week and a half later, Tracy put some food in front of Panditaand low and behold she began to eat. Thanks, to the local shelter, Paws4Ever staff and volunteers, and the staff at Veterinary Specialty Hospital, Pandita is back in action and ready for her forever home. Pandita is in foster care, so email tracy@paws4ever.org for more information

Lenny
Age: 5 years
Sex: Male
Color: Brown & Black Tabby
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Gives great big head butts! As you can see in my pictures I will rub on anything, but I perfer humans the best, they always rub me back. I get along with all the other cats, and dogs don't bother me too much. I think if you had a dog in your home I would be just fine with that. All I require is lots of head butting action.

Denver *Adoption Pending*
Age: 3 years
Sex: Male
Color: Copper & Black Tabby
Breed: Exotic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Denver, and his friends San Diego, Kansas City, Oakland, yes they are football fans:) , recently came to p4e from a very bad situation. They were from a home that contained at least fifty other cats!!! It was someone that was breeding exotic short hairs, and the situation quickly became out control. Denver has gone through numerous encounters, and as a result, is a bit on the shy side. He is a big sweetie once he gets to know ya, so don't let that shy side scare ya away. Come on in and check out Denver and his friends, they are funny and beautiful looking all at the same time. Some people have told us they look angry, but to each his own right:) So check them all out and see what you think! UPDATE!!! All of Denver's friends have found homes, but he is still waiting for someone to scoop him up and give him his new forever home.

Martha
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Color: Brown & Black Tabby
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: This girl appears to be a lynx mix, with the pointy hairs on her ears & those piercing eyes. Her attitude is somewhat variant, depending on her location. She sometimes likes to hide in cat boxes and prefers to be left alone. When out in the open though, she thoroughly enjoys being petted & loved on. Who doesn't appreciate (and deserve) some time along every now and then? She gets along well with other cats & has even produced a litter of her own (hence, her name). Sadly none of them made it, so we let her get away with what she wants sometimes, when she's demanding peace & quiet. She is a very lovely, patient kitty that would probably do best in a home with no dogs due to her nervous attitude. She could really blossom in a home that would spend time showing her the devotion & care that we believe every animal genuinely deserves!

Jokers
Age: 8 years
Sex:
Color: Orange Tabby
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: I am a gentle lady who gets along with everyone around me. My favorite spot is in the window watching all the people come and go all day long, and sometimes taking the time to give me a nice rub under my chin, I love chin rubs!!

Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Color: Grey & White
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Tom Tom is a new guy at paws4ever. He is still nervous and ajusting to things here. Tom Tom and his friend Tiny were returned adoptions as a result of a divorce. Tiny is at our clinic right now with a cold, so now Tom Tom is very sad and misses his friend. Tiny will be back to keep him company as soon as he gets over his cold, and hopefully Tom Tom will cheer up a bit when he does. Tom Tom doesn't like being picked up, but is an affectionte guy. He will come over to you if you sit and talk to him. He does have a very loud motor, once he gets it reved up. So come on in and talk to our new friend Tom Tom and make him feel a little better. He would love to meet you:)!

Coco Puff
Age: 8 years
Sex: Female
Color: Blue & Grey
Breed: Domestic Shorthair / Russian Blue

Personality Profile: I am a very laid back and lazy lady. My favorite spot is the biggest pillow i can find in the cat room, and it doesn't matter where it is. Sometimes i get to cuddle with the other cats when they share my pillow, I'm no pillow hog. The best would be if I could go home and have my very own pillow in some ones home, or even better if I could share a pillow with a nice human family.

Ella
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Color: Black & White
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: You'll always find me cuddled up next to my best friend, Jackie, or the next closest feline companion. I can be shy around humans, but I'm definitely a sweet girl. I need someone to give me a nice, stable home that will allow me to warm up and become myself. I'm still kind of confused as to why I'm here and I'm staying close to my cat friends. Please come by and show me what true human devotion is. I know I will can make you proud!

Blackie
Age: 6 years
Sex: Male
Color: Black & White
Breed: Domestic Longhair Mix

Personality Profile: *Front Declawed* Blackie is an easy going guy. He was surrendered to the county shelter when his owner passed away. He settled in here at paws4ever a lot easier than his friend Tiger. It would be best for Backie to go home with Tiger to help him adjust easier into his new home.. Blackie loves to just lounge around and get his loving from anyone that goes into the cat room. If you need to lovely big guys, look no further, Blackie and Tiger are your men! Blackie loves to be brushed as well, he'll take all the help he can get with his big fluffy coat. Come on by and visit them today.

Gavin
Age: 12 years
Sex: Male
Color: White
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: I am a sleek youthful man who is in great shape! I am a quiet, peaceful lover. I will squint my eyes with pleasure when you give me chin, cheek & head scratches. I would do best as the only cat, because I am a loner who wants all of your affection to myself! However, I could live successfully with one other cat, as long as they give me my space.

Crimpy
Age: 3 years
Sex: Female
Color: Black
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Crimpy gets along with other cats and will not come begging for loving, but I sure loves it when you volunteer it! If you like your kitties on the less needy side, Crimpy could be your girl. You will love her little "crimpy" ear too!

Sammy Single
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Color:
Breed:

Personality Profile: Sammy came to us as an owner surrender from the shelter. He had a massive infection in his left ear, which was unfortunately, left untreated. His ear canal had swollen shut from the inflammation, consequently, leaving amputation as his best option. He is recovering quickly & is more than ready for his new home! As a shy guy, he would do best in a home with little commotion. We believe he is somewhat shy due to the pain he endeared while in the "care" of his human. A little love and compassion would go a long way with this guy! Once petted, he will raise his rump and flip his tail, thoroughly enjoying the rub-down. As a result of the persistance of Paws4Ever, Sammy knows that most humans want the best for him! Shown the proper love & care, he would be an excellent pet the right home!

Green Eyes
Age: 1 year
Sex: Female
Color: Black
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Green Eyes is a great girl who has ben here with us for quite some months now. We feel she is always overlooked because most black cats are ( same goes for black dogs too unfortunatly). It seems that people just see a black cat with no fancy markings and keep on going. Green Eyes is a very mellow and easy going lady. She never causes any problems with the other cats, and isn't distructive in the rooms either. She loves to get affection and will come out to anyone and say hello. She is o.k with dogs and could easily live with one in a home. Come on in and say hello to this lovely lady and her friends, you never know, she may be your awited best friend and companion!

Slade
Age: 13 months
Sex: Male
Color: Buff & White
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair Mix

Personality Profile: Hello, my name is Slade, nice to meet'cha. I'm from the Caswell county shelter, farm boy at heart. I was living on a farm with many cats, can't reckon I could count that high( us farm boys don't get to get that fancy schoolin'). But right now I been staying with these nice folkes at paws4ever. So now it looks like my days of farming are done and now I am living inside. Ya know I do like it. I always wondered where the farmer slept at night, if it was nicer than out in the barn. Sure sleping with the cows in the hay wasn't bad, but sleeping inside on a warm fluffy bed sure beats it. I like my cat friends here, they sure are good company. Sometimes the folkes that seem to run the place bring in a big ol dog into there office area. At first I was afrraid, brought back bad memories of the old farmers neighbor's cousin's dog. That dog sure was mean to me, but the dogs here are nice. SO i think i would like a doggie friend, as long as it's like one of the nice ones the folkes here bring in to visit. So I suppose now is the part where I tell ya'll to come visit me and all my friends, so please do that. Come on in and visit, and come back soon, ya here!

Nala
Age: 10 years
Sex: Female
Color: Black & Orange
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: *Front Declawed* I am a very sweet kitty with very unusual markings that make me unique among other cats. I also have silly rings around my tail that I think clash with my lovely reddish-brown swirls. No one else seems to care though. I have quite the little purr motor in me, which comes out instantly when you pet me. I am very affectionate with lots of love to give. I get along great with other cats, but I don't like dogs too much. If you think you can give me a friendly canine-free castle, please come visit me at the shelter today!

Tiny
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Color: Buff
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Tiny came in with his buddy Tom- Tom. They both ended up back here as a result of a divorce. Tiny is a very active and happy fellow. He loves attention and is always purring and giving lots of head buts. He's a little difficult to get a picture of because he won't stop rubbing on the camera, silly guy. So we will try soon to get some more pictures of happy Tiny up soon. Tiny loves everyone, cats, and he doesn't mind dogs a bit either! When the staff is cleaning the cat rooms, he follows us from room to room. He loves people and talking to you as well. Best thing to do is come on in for a visit, you'll be very glad you came in to see him and all his new friends.

Abasi
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Color: Brown & Black Tabby
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile:

Bosco
Age: 2 years
Sex: Male
Color:
Breed:

Personality Profile: I am full of personality and spunk! I often hear people ask around me, "Who is that cat?", and that's because I am always running through the halls or after a feather wand, making people shriek with delight. I can easily leap a person's height to catch toys and other objects of interest. I like other cats but have no problems occupying myself with anything I can bat around. You will enjoy me as your new family member if you like entertainment from your felines, plus pizazz to spare. And would you mind sharing your dinner with me? I love the smell and the taste of delicious meal fresh from the microwave, or sharing a bag of potato chips. I've got a wild streak, so life as an indoor/outdoor kitty would be quite satisfying.

Wave
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Color: White & Black
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Wave has been waiting for that right person to see how special she is. She has grown up here at the adoption center and was passed over when she was at her cutest as a kitten. We don't know why she's passed over, but we do know she will make a great pet for someone regardless! Wave enjoys a good back stroke and loves to explore high places. As you can see, she can be silly when she finds something to entertain her. Consider Wave if you'd really like to give a younger cat a home, but your heart aches to help a kitty who has waited a long time for a family.

Maureen
Age: 3 years
Sex: Female
Color: Orange & Brown Calico
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: I'm satisfied with the basic things in life. A rug to lay on in the sun, a bowl of food and water, and a few head, cheek, and chin scratches; and I am content. I don't mind sharing these fine things with a cat friend either. I'm the quiet type and don't act too obnoxious when visitors come by like some of my feline counterparts. The way I see it, if someone takes the time to notice me --the polite girl in the corner-- than they're worth the time I've spent waiting for that special someone. I love to explore the outdoors, so life as an indoor/outdoor cat would be great for me.

Nutmeg
Age: 10 years
Sex: Female
Color: Bronze & Black Tabby
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: I am a quiet lovely lady. I love to sit in laps and get petted for hours. I get along with other cats and love cozy, snuggly beds. I would like a more quiet home , but I still have a lot of life and love in me!

Saphie
Age: 3 years
Sex: Female
Color: Grey & White
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: I was a great mama whose babies have all been adopted. I am still a baby myself and want to be spoiled. I am super affectionate with people and wouldn't mind being the only cat, even though I coexist with other cats now successfully.

Dexter
*Sponsored by his hero Melissa Bennett*
Age: 1.5 years
Sex: Male
Color: Brown & White Tabby
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Dexter is a very special boy at paws4ever. He had a severe case of ringworm and had to remain at our clinic until he finally got all better and made it over to the adoption center. He is a little shy at first when meeting new people, but if you just sit on the floor or chair and talk to him, he'll come and and talk away. Once you pet Dexter he's yours, he rolls around on his belly purring and rubbing on your legs, begging for someone to scoop him up and give him his new forever home. He gets along great with all the other cats. He's never met a dog so we will update soon when he meets one and let you all know if a dog friend would work out with Dexter. Come in and ask about our special little man, you'll be delighted you did.

Kikimo
Age: 9 years
Sex: Female
Color: White & Black
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: I have been here at p4e along with my brother Monty since the begining. Why neither one of us have ever found a home is beyond me. I am a big girl, with a whole lot to offer. Many people who come in ask if I am pregnant, and the staff always laughs and says no. At first I was taking offence to this, ya think us cats don't have feelings!!!!!! But as time went on, I have learned to just ignore rude coments, and occasionally I do laugh myself at the ridiculous remarks. Me pregnant, HA!! I was spayed before I ever new what being pregnant was all about. But enough about that. ( I just had to get that out of the way before you yourself might ask the same thing, and I won't even let it offend me!) So I am beatiful, charming, amazing blue eyes, independent, Quite playful when the moode strikes me( I do loveeee catnip), can find the best and warmest places to sleep, and the shocker of them all , I am single and looking for someone to love. I could love a family, it doesn't have to be just one person, I have plenty of love to give. It would be really cool if you would adopt me and my brother, but I understand if you only like girlly girl cats and not boy cats( no offence to my bro, I do love him dearly) So next time you are in town, look me up, I am usally free on Friday nights and sometimes Saturday afternoons, I am a social butterfly, what can I say!!

Junior
Age: 11 years
Sex: Female
Color: Orange Tabby
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Junior is just FULL of PERSONALITY. Junior loves people food and will try to steal it from you if you let him. He is very loving and laid back and has a great purring motor. Junior's the adventurous type and that is probably why he ended up as a stray at 10 or so years old. We joke that Junior may have been a jazz musician in his former life. He also is a friend of canines, and is not afraid to rub up against and be social with dogs.

Ponzu
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Color: White & Grey
Breed: American Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Even though he came in as an owner surrender with Disco, Ponzu isn't as outgoing as he is. He's more calm & laid-back, enjoying relaxation in the nearest cubby hole. Sometimes he likes to go unnoticed, remaining observant of everything around him. He would do best in a quiet environment where he can loosen up some more. Small children tend to make him very nervous, so a home with older children would be best. He also likes to hang out with dogs, even though his fellow cat friends think he is an odd ball beacause of that He's a big boy that deserves someone with a big heart! There are lots of pictures of him, please take a peek!

I'm a very conservative girl and I won't push myself on you for attention. I just want to be noticed and then I'll move on about my merry way. I love to chase kitty toys and dive under rugs when we're playing. I'm very appealing to the eye with my small white feet and tiny, short tail. Please come by the shelter and take a look at me!

Kansas City *Adopted*

Sex: Male
Color: Silver & Black
Breed: Exotic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Hello there, I am called Kansas City. Yup the silly humans here named us after what they call Football teams (I think, I have no idea what that is). I believe they said that someone might want us just because of a team, I don't know, but if it works, that's all that matters:) Well if you read the others profiles than you know the story about us, but if not, I'll fill ya in. We were at one time used for breeding, and then it turned into an icky situation. The breeder turned into a hoarder, not fun:( Well now we are here and awaiting our new forever home. I have made lots of friends with the other kitties, and the humans are nice too. I get lots of attention and am loving every minute of it. Even though life has been tough, I am still an easy going guy. We even have this box that gets warm, great for sleeping on. The funny thing about this box is that it makes noises and has lots of things going on, but only on one side and not the others. My cat friends had a name for it, I believe it's called a teeveee??? Well I do enjoy watching this teeveee, it's very interesting and entertaining. Well I think I have filled my box about myself, I must say it was fun. So come on in and say hello, I enjoy visitors, especially when they give me some lovin!! MEOW:)

Despite what she has been through, she is a great little lady. She wasn't spayed, and we are pretty sure that she was bred every time she could get pregnant. She is very skinny, but eating like a horse now, trying to pack on the pounds, to look like a happy kitty ( that she is!!!) with meat on her bones.

Breed: Exotic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Hey there. I recently came here with my friends Denver, Kansas City, and San Diego. We came from a sad situation. We were used for breeding, but then it turned into a hoarding situation. Now we are here patiently awaiting our new forever home. The silly humans here named us after football teams thinking that maybe someone would see their favorite team and scoop us up. I've never herd of this thing they call football, but hey if it works we'll be forever grateful for it:) Even though I have been through a lot of moving and craziness in my life I still have a very happy and outgoing attitude. I love all my new kitty friends (as you can see in one of my many pictures) and the humans are great here too. There are a lot of humans that come too see us, the staff tells us they are volunteers. All I know is that they are very nice and I just can't help but get my motor revving and getting some nice head butts in whenever they are here. Come on in and check us out and say hello, and please give us some nice scratches under the chin ( that's one of my favorite things, hint hint;)) MEOW

Digger *Adopted*
Age: 2 years
Sex: Male
Color: Black & White
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Mix

Personality Profile: Hello everyone, Digger here. I lived at a county shelter for many long months. I was a lucky guy who got to stay there because I had such a good personality and I didn't let myself get depressed while I was living in a cage. So after all my good behavior I am rewarded. Now I get to play with other cats, get visited from all sorts of different people, and I got to meet dogs!! I think dogs are great, and some of my new kitty friends think I lost my mind at the county shelter. I tell ya, some cats are sooo silly. When the staff tests the dogs to see if they like us cats I get very excited. I met one nice doggie named Lada, and she loved me too. I got to rub all over her head and give her kisses, but the staff took her away because the other cats were grtting upset. I try to tell the other cats to calm down, but like I said they think I am crazy so they don't listen. Oh well. Please come visit me and my buds very soon. And if you have a doggie that likes cats, please oh please pick me!!!!! please :) MEOW

Rapa *Adopted*
Age: 5 months
Sex: Female
Color: Cream
Breed: Siamese Mix

Personality Profile: Hello there. I have been told my name is Rapa which means Moonbeam in Hawaiian. I think it's a pretty neat name so I kept it :) I have lots of friends here, but I would be happiest if I had you as my best friend. I was born with a misfigured front paw. It doesn't have the same amount of toes as my other foot. It looks kinda wierd, but it doesn't bother me in the least. If my kitten friends didn't ask ask about it, I probally never would of noticed I was diffrent. Oh well, My humans friends said it's nothing to worry about, so I won't . Honestly I don't think Kittens ever worry about anything, I know I don't. I'm a laid back girl, I know that must be hard to believe, but I really am. I do love to play with my friends, as you can see in one of my pics, but I love my quiet time. When volunteers come in to visit and play with us, I tend to find a nice lap to snuggle in. I think its more fun to get lovins than to go crazy all the time (like my buddy Hagen). Come on in and visit me and my friends. I asked my human friends if I could recieve phone calls or emails, but the told me if they did that for me they would have to do that for everyone, and that would be craziness!!! Oh well, so you gotta come in to meet me, and please come soon!!!MEOW:)

Kai *Adopted*
Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Color: Black & White
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair Mix

Personality Profile: Kai has come a long way since she first arrived. At first she was a terrifed kitty who always hid in the shy room. The only time anyone would see her is when the staff was cleaning and would move the cages around. Then she would dart out and find a new place to hide. If you looked for her you would alwys find her hiding, and her eyes were as big as marbles. NOW.... Kai is currently living in cat room 1. Her new best friend is a lovely lady named Trudy. She likes when visitors and volunteers come in, and awaits her pets. She is absolutely beautiful, with stand out markings. She likes lounging around, never gets very excited, and doesn't mind the ongoings of the day, busy or not. She gets nervous around dogs, but if it was a nice dog that was respectful of her, she could get along just fine. She isn't a big fan of being picked up ( many cats share that) but loves when you talk to her. If you get the right spot on her back she hops right up and will bug you for more loving. Come on in and see this beauty queen for yourself, and she'll bug you to take her and a friend home!

Screamer *Adopted*
Age: 11 years
Sex: Male
Color:
Breed:

Personality Profile: Well with a name like Screamer, do we have to mention he talks a lot? He loves to meow really loud, sometimes growl very loud, or purr very loud. At times it almost seems as if his talanted self can do it all at once, as hard as that maybe to believe or understand, sure has us baffled. Other than his sounds, Screamer is a lovable guy. He is very aloof with the other cats and tends to just hang out in a nice soft spot and watch the happenings in the adoption center. He was surrenderd to a shelter because the family ws moving out of the country and didn't want to take him along. It is very heartbreaking after 11 years of being a good kitty, but Screamer is taking it in stride. He's not depresed like a lot of cats can become after losing their family, who wouldn't be? He is a special guy because of his strong heart and his preseverece to move on even though he was left behind. When ya visit paws4ever, be sure to mention Screamer, and we will gladly assist you to his whereabouts.

I love all my friends in here in the kitten room, and I hear a lot of dogs barking, so I'm very curious about them. They do make me nervous but I think I could grow up to apperciate a dog's friendship, as long as they would do the same for me. So come on in and meet me and my friends, you'll be glad ya did!!!

Personality Profile: Frankie is an all around great guy. He adapts to any situation very quickly. He loves all the other cats, people, children, and he LOVES dogs. If he could go to a home with a dog he would be in Frankie Heaven! He recently staied at one of the staff members house for a sleepover, and did wonderfull. The staff member has five dogs and nine cats. Frankie was right at home. He needed no ajustment time and acted like he had lived there his whole life. He was having fun with the cats and enjoying their company, and all the soft places they had to take naps in. The dogs was the highlight for Frankie. He didn't know what dog to rub on first. He was right at home for the night. If your looking for an easy going guy, then check out Frankie. The only special need for Frankie is that he would do best on a urinary tract food. He had urinary problems when we first got him, and he overcame them, but we feel that he would feel his best if he staied on the urinary food. For more information please call or stop in and say hello to Frankie and all his four legged friends.
