This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Elton.

Elton is a youthful 3-year old boy who can be a little shy in new situations, but will make himself at home in no time. He’ll sprawl comfortably across his bed (or maybe yours?) with his legs hanging out when he naps and invite himself onto your shoulder for a snuggle when you open his cage for a visit. He’s a big kitten when there’s a feather toy or laser pointer to pounce (a sparkly mouse will do in a pinch). Elton would prefer a home without young children or dogs, though.

Elton is waiting for your shoulder at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). He is neutered, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on his vaccines. His adoption fee is $90. Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Mia.

Mia is a sweet and beautiful 12-year old Torby (tortoiseshell/tabby) lady who loves having her cheeks brushed and chin rubbed. She has seen a lot in her life and is now content to take life easy in her golden years so while she is very sociable, she sometimes just wants a peaceful nap in a sunspot. Mia would prefer a quiet home without other cats or children and could use some help getting her girlish figure back.

Mia is waiting for you to scritch her chin at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). She is spayed, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on her vaccines. Her adoption fee is $75 or $35 through our Senior for Seniors program. Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

Meet adoptable cats and kittens from 7 local shelters and rescues, including PAWS, at the Meow in Mukilteo Cat Adoption Event this Sunday, July 18, 12-3 pm at Rosehill Community Center (304 Lincoln Avenue, Mukilteo, WA 98275).

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Cranberry.

Cranberry is a gorgeous 5-year-old Maine Coon mix. This easygoing fluffer is very friendly and gets along great with other cats. She has had both front & back paws declawed so she can be a bit timid in new situations, but she warms up quickly. She loves having her long gray fur brushed and her curly Cranbelly rubbed!

Cranberry is waiting for your lap at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). She is spayed, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on her vaccines. Her adoption fee is $90. Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

Come visit us at the Ballard Seafood Fest this weekend! From noon to 4pm both days, we will have some adoptable Cat City cats in the lobby of Sunset Hill Veterinary Clinic at 24th & Market. They will also be doing free dog baths & photos and a raffle, with donations going to PAWS.

Update: Collette has been adopted.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Collette.

Collette is a quiet, gentle, and friendly 9-year-old who is perfectly happy to spend her time curled up on your lap and taking life easy. She is mildly interested in cat toys, but prefers not to waste too much energy on them. Collette likes everyone she meets, but would love to have you to herself. She could live with the right cat, though.

Collette is waiting for you to rub her belly at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). She is spayed, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on her vaccines. Until the end of June, her adoption fee is only $25 or free to a senior human (60+)! After that, her adoption fee will be $75 or $35 to a senior human. Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

PS - Our other Colette is still waiting for her forever home, as is Missy!

Update: Simon has been adopted.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Simon.

Simon is a big ol’ bear cub with a stubby little tail and a cool Rorschach pattern on his face. He is friendly, gentle, and loves catnip. With some regular laser pointer time and portion control, this pudgy fella will be back to his fighting weight in no time! He has lived with both cats and dogs in his 6 years.

Simon is waiting to charm you at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). He is neutered, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on his vaccines. During June (Adopt a Shelter Cat Month), his adoption fee is only $50! Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Missy.

Missy is a beautiful fluffy 3-year old girl who loves to nuzzle noses with you! She can often be found on the highest perch in the colony, but will eagerly poke her head down through the hole or over the side to get some loving. She is a cute little squirrel who wants lots of playtime and interaction to keep her happy. She sometimes gets carried away with play or cuddling and may nip a little, so would be best in a home with grown-up humans who can be patient while she learns better manners.

Missy is waiting to bump noses with you at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood Ave. N. in Seattle). She is spayed, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on her vaccines. During June, her adoption fee is only $50! Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and adoption fees are reduced for all adult cats!

Update: Graham has been adopted.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Graham.

Graham is a gorgeous, 4-year-old Himalayan mix with stunning blue eyes. He is still healing from a recent surgery on his eyelids, but he is much more comfortable now and well on his way to a full recovery. Graham loves attention and being brushed. He is a gentle and quiet boy looking for a new home and a new beginning. Like Miss Sophie, though, he won’t hesitate to throw down with a good feather toy!

Graham is waiting for your visit at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle). He is neutered, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on his vaccines. During June, his adoption fee is only $50! Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

Update: Sophie has been adopted.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Sophie.

Miss Sophie is a beautiful, quiet, and loving girl who was surrendered to PAWS when her owner passed away. She can be a bit shy when you first meet her, but give her some time and she’ll warm right up. She loves being brushed, especially her cheeks! Sophie is dignified, but not too proud to attack the laser pointer or a feather toy (see our blog for a fun video clip). This 11-year old lady is looking for a quiet and predictable home where she can spend her days lounging by the window, watching the birds, and simply being loved.

Sophie is back at PAWS Cat City (8503 Greenwood in Seattle) after a little vacation in foster care. She is hoping for a new start to life in this new year! She is spayed, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on her vaccines. During June, her adoption fee is only $25 or free to a senior human (60+)! Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month! PAWS is hoping to find loving, permanent homes for as many shelter cats as possible. To accomplish this, during the month of June, adoption fees are reduced for all adult cats. The reduced fees are as follows:

• Senior Cats (over 7 years old): $25.00
• Senior Cats for Senior People (60+): Free!
• Two Adult Cats (adopted same day): $100.00
• One Adult Cat and one Kitten (adopted same day): $120.00

Update: Moses has been adopted.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Moses.

Moses is a curious cross-eyed youngster. At just 8 months old (roughly a young teenager), he still has a vast enthusiasm for playing, but is also a little love bug. When he’s finally worn out, he will shower you with little kisses and head-butts. He does not enjoy the company of other cats, though, so this Moses has an 11th commandment: thou shalt put no other cats above me (or below me or next to me)!

Come meet this sweet boy at Cat City on the northwest corner of 85th & Greenwood. He is neutered, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on his vaccines. His adoption fee is $90. Cat City is open Tue, Wed & Fri noon - 6 pm, Thu noon - 7 pm and Sat - Sun 11 am - 5 pm.

This summer Cat City will be staying open late on Thursday evenings. So if you want to beat the weekend crowds or come by after work, we’ll be here until 7 pm. As always, adoptions end a half hour before we close, but you can keep visiting up until the end.

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Buddy.

Buddy is a big galoot - not the sharpest tack, but eager to love! This 5-year-old boy loves having his head scritched and sleeping at the foot of your bed. He’s also very playful and will proudly defend your front window from passing canines. Buddy isn’t the best at reading people or other cats. He doesn’t mean any harm, though - he just doesn’t know his own pointiness! He would prefer a home with adults (and maybe older kids) so he can relax and be himself.

Come meet this sweet fellow at Cat City at the northwest corner of 85th & Greenwood. He is neutered, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on his vaccines. His adoption fee is $90.

We are pleased to report that Addie found her forever home this past Saturday!

This week’s PAWS Cat City Pet of the Week is Colette.

Colette is a beautiful 6-year old girl with inky black fur. She has a big freckle in her right eye and daintily scoops wet food to her mouth using her paw. However, her chewed up left ear attests to her feistiness (though she prefers to think of it as a bidirectional catnip antenna). She was originally feral, but has socialized quite nicely. Unlike many former-ferals, though, she prefers the company of adult humans to other kitties and will demand to be the lone cat of your kingdom.

Come see this sweet & sassy lady at Cat City at the northwest corner of 85th & Greenwood. She is spayed, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on her vaccines. Her adoption fee is $90. Cat City is open Tues-Fri 2-6pm and Sat-Sun 11am-5pm.

We are thrilled to report that Dirk & Buster found a new home last Sunday!

Update: Dirk and Buster have been adopted.

This week’s Pet of the Week is a two-fer from Greenwood’s PAWS Cat City.

Dirk and Buster have had a tough time in their short lives. Buster was rescued from a feral colony when he was a kitten by folks who meant well, but didn’t know much about cats. He and his sister spent the next 5 months living in a bathroom, observing but cut off from his new family. He was understandably very skittish when he came to us and overwhelmed by all the people and activity he found himself amidst.

We don’t know how Dirk spent his first year, but he spent his first couple months with us withdrawn and terrified of people. He came to Cat City’s back room two weeks ago and made slow steady progress outside of a cage with persistent gentle contact. Buster landed here a week later and was terrified in the colony with the other kitties, so we decided to try him in the back with Dirk. It was practically love at first sight!

A mere week later, you would think they were littermates. Buster makes Dirk braver & plays with him and Dirk grooms his little brother & frequently seeks him out for nudges & rubs. They are both affectionate and playful and growing more confident by the day!

If you think you might be the one to give these boys the better life they deserve, come visit them at PAWS Cat City at 8503 Greenwood Ave N. They are neutered, microchipped, litter box trained, and up-to-date on vaccines. Their adoption fee is $135. Cat City is open Tues-Fri 2-6pm and Sat-Sun 11am-5pm.
