Young kittens should not be adopted as “only pets.”
These babies need the play skills, comfort, and social skillbuilding that can only come
from living with another cat or kitten. We work with adopters to educate them in this regard and do not
place one small kitten alone in a home. An existing family cat serves the need, although people often return
for a second youngster after discovering that the little one is driving a more sedate, older cat nuts. Babies
need much more playtime for good health than the average person understands and suffer from the lack thereof when adopted
alone. People are not equipped to supply the many hours of rough and tumble exercise that a second kitten
can, nor should they assume that role. Exercise aside, the comfort of another animal to a kitten just removed
from its littermates is simply humane. ~Cat Fancy June or July 2009

Chance DOB 3/20/10 DSH neutered male buff tabby tuxedo.
He
was born into a home with so many cats that the homeowner had little money to care properly for. PAWS got an emergency
call that one of the litters of kittens was dying, so a volunteer went and got the litter. They had so many fleas that
they had sucked all of the kittens blood (flea anemia) and the kittens were dying. The entire litter were given fluids
and force fed, but all died during the night except for Chance. He was syringe fed (forced feeding) for 2 days until he was
strong enough to eat on his own. He is steadily putting on weight daily and has gained more than Charlie and Chester
now. UPDATE:
Chaz and Gracie have been added as playmates. Charlie and Chester have been adopted.

Chaz
DOB 3/20/10 DSH
neutered male orange tabby.
This
little guy came out of the woods hungry and alone after his mother was hit and killed by a car the day before. He is very skinny, and needs to gain some weight. He has Chance and Gracie as his playmates.
He is ok being held and has taken to the other kittens quite quickly. He seems to like having new friends to play with. He
can be a little shy at first, but once he knows you he's fine.

Sakura and Yuri
DOB June
25, 2010. Lilac point Siamese DSH mix kittens. Sakura is the girl, and Yuri is the boy.
This
brother-sister pair were found in a drainage ditch in Palm Bay by someone with too many animals to be able to take them
in. He asked if PAWS could foster these little guys so they wouldn't be left outside. They have been in foster
care since they were about a pound. Both like to snuggle with you when they are sleepy and will actively play
next to you they remainder of the time. Sakura is the explorer and has found her running legs. They need to weigh at
least two pounds before they can be fixed and released to go home, so they should be ready to go home around late August.
We would prefer to adopt them as a pair!

Sedona
DOB approx Aug/Sept 2009 spayed female petite short hair cat with the tuxedo markings. She likes to
be around people and will sleep with you if you let her. She is calm and somewhat reserved, but actively seeks out her human
companions for head scratches and rubs. She tolerates other cats, but has not actively sought out to play with them yet. Probably
just trying to get used to the new surroundings. Seems to be ok with the dog. She is very tolerant of being held and petted
and does not struggle to get down. She likes to watch activity outside the window, but does not seem to want to get to the
outdoors. Quiet cat overall, perfect for those who want a low maintenance, indoor pet.

Miley and Madison We would like to adopt these two
together as they have been together since they were about three weeks old and have now bonded. There are no other
kittens in the home, so they have become inseparable buddies.
Miley: DOB appx 4/3/10 DSH neutered male flame point siamese mix. He was found
abandoned and alone behind a business on US1. He had been eaten up by fleas to the point he had flea anemia. He
has been treated and is now recovered and flea free.
Madison: DOB appx 3/27/10 DSH orange tabby spayed female.
She was pulled from the county shelter to be a buddy to Miley, as kittens their age do better with others than by themselves.
She is very active and playful, and the more outgoing and vocal of the two.

Spot
DOB appx Nov 2009. DSH black & white neutered male. Was dumped by his owner at the county
shelter in the gate box outside. VERY loving and playful. OK being held about any which way. Great for kids!
We
pulled him because his time was "up" at the shelter and he would have been put to sleep that day at 5pm if we had
not picked him up. He is a cutie, we made a special picture of his ears so you can see how they are half black and half white.
An adorable kitten!
Lets the dog play with him, they have a great time.

Riley: DSH
black, neutered male. Riley purrs up a storm when you pet him! Rainbow: DSH

Sabrina
Sabrina is a wonderful little girl born March 15, 2010. She is a
gorgeous, unique color, a black/smoke tabby spayed DSH. She is the friendliest kitten you'll ever meet and LOVES to
be with people. She will follow you around and enjoys attention. She loves to sleep with you and be held.
She likes other kitties and would probably be fine with a dog too once she got to know one. She would be a wonderful
addition to any family.

Ellie
My name is Ellie and I am an adorable
black and white tuxedo kitten. I was born March 15th, 2010. I have a sister also available for adoption,
named Sabrina. I am a sweet little girl who loves to play. I can be a little shy at first until I get to know
you and would be best in a home without small children. My foster home is very quiet, and I like that. I do love
people and attention and love to have my belly rubbed.

Bucky
DOB approx mid April 2010.
DSH neutered male Abyssinian mix. This sweet and adorable kitten was rescued from death row at one of the county
shelters. He was picked up as a stray and dumped at the shelter, so we don't have any background info on him.
He is missing two toe pads on his left front foot from an unknown injury he had when he showed up at the shelter. He
is now fully healed. He is enjoying playing with his two new buddies, Ellie and Sabrina. We will get more of a
description to come shortly. Contact Shannon at: Wingsandwhiskers@aol.com.

Zane
Male DOB approx May 28, 2010.
DSH black and white with
a circle on his tummy. Zane came to my door with a neighbor kid with ulcers on his eyes. I was horrified
and gladdly took him in. After treatment for a few days the ulcers were gone. But, he has some scaring. This has not stopped
him one bit. He runs around playing like he had perfect sight. He is so funny to watch. He is non stop playing. Nothing
phazes this boy. He is very curious and sweet. He runs up to me and finds an arm or leg to snuggle under when I am sitting
or squatting on the floor. He is obviously good with other kitties and the dogs dont really bother him either.

Joey and Josey DOB 1/25/2010 neutered males. They are also microchipped. While they get along with other cats
fine, they prefer to play and snuggle with each other, to the exclusion of other cats in the house, so they need to go together
if possible. They are being exposed to smaller sized foster dogs, so they should be ok going to a home with friendly
dogs. Joey:
Russian
Blue DSH mix.
Josey: Gray and white DSH neutered
male.

Marcie
DOB appx 3/1/10, DSH black & white
spayed female. Was found outside an apartment complex and the boy kitties were starting to get interested. The boys are
feral but this little girl is tame so we scooped her up and she is now spayed! We had just got her back from her spay
appointment in the picture, so she was in some pain and we will get better pictures later. She is very sweet, and
we are sure she is OK with other cats, dogs and kids. We have to confirm after she heals from her spay and will update her
picture and bio then.

Squeakie
DOB appx 2/1/10, DSH black & white female.
This little girl was a stray, and had two kittens. Lucky for her some rescuers
took her in! So here she is, off the streets and getting used to a consistent meal, clean water, and someone to pet
her. She's enjoying it and her little meow is so cute, she squeaks -- thus her name!
Her
babies are about 3 weeks old in the pictures, so we are sure she got pregnant with her first heat and the babies were born
sometime around 7/10. Both kittens are male, one has white mixed in with this brown tabby markings, the other is solid
brown tabby.
We just coaxed the white/brown
tabby male's eyes open and will have new pictures soon!
They are just starting to
move around so they are unsteady on their legs as you can see in the picture, they look very awkward! Plus they are
extremely fat because mom has all that milk for just the two of them!
Squeaky will probably start
weaning them by mid-August. Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com

She should be ready sometime around mid to late August.
