Josie
DOB appx April/May 2008. DSH black with white
toes on her back feet, and a tiny spot of white on her chest. Josie was in a very bad home then dumped on the street
where we found her. She has learned to trust us to handle her nicely, and can be picked up now, and be petted. She was tame,
just had not been handled nicely. Josie loves attention, she is skittish about it if you are standing. However, if you are sitting,
she's all over you! She is one of those kitties who does flips and rolls around when you are petting her, silly girl!!

Gator DOB
appx 2008. DSH orange mackeral tabby. Here's his story, written by his rescuer!
I was at the gym Monday
morning (11/15) and I got out of
my car and I heard something crying and crying and crying. I was like,
"What is that???" because it was so loud and I walked around to the other side of my car and I saw this
really cute orange cat and it's just staring up at me crying and crying like, "Please feed me!".
So, I felt so horrible and I walked in to tell the gym manager and she said , "I know..the
cat." and I said, "Yes, we have to feed it...it's so hungry!" and she said they didn't have any food for it,
but then I made her give it some oatmeal. So, we took the food outside and the cat was hesitant, but then it came up
and started to eat the oatmeal. We went back inside and she said the cat had been there
since Thursday and has been crying non-stop, but they're not allowed to feed stray cats according to their lease. She
said that some of the people at the gym have been complaining about it so they called Animal Control, but Animal Control never
came to get the cat.
So, I just couldn't leave the poor cat
there to cry and I didn't want it to be picked up by Animal Control (and my gym is on a very busy road so I was
concerned about it getting run over by a car), so I ended up catching the cat and taking it with
me to work. I took him to the vet and it turns out he's already been neutered so I definitely
believe he was someone's pet before and that they just dropped him off outside the gym last week (and
that's why he was confused and lonely and crying so much). The vet thinks he's about one-year-old.
Because the vet needed a name for him, I
temporarily named him Gator because he's orange and he was so blue (i.e. crying) when I found him (and I'm a graduate of UF)
:) Gator is VERY playful, loves to romp and wrestle
with Roscoe. He also likes his canned food treat morning and night. We have found Gator is one of those kitties who
sometimes "overstimulates" as you pet him, he will nip (not bite or break the skin). So we tell people pet him three
times and stop....we primarily pet him on the head only, it seems to be his back that makes him overstimulate.

Aunt Bea
DOB
appx Feb 2004, DSH black and white tux, was pregnant and a great mom PLUS a surrogate mom to 2 motherless kittens. Bea loves
affection and gets along great with other cats. Since her kittens were weaned and placed, and she got spayed, she has filled
out very nicely.
UPDATE:
May 2010: Bea is an older cat now and we have noticed some wheezing as she breathes, she may have a growth in her nose so
we are taking her to the vet.

Sapphire
UPDATE: DOB approx 2008? Spayed female DMH orange and white with blue eyes aka Ojos Azule!
She was found outside in the court yard of a senior day care center. One of the workers was feeding her and
was able to pet her and get her on her lap. When the management found out there was an animal on property she had to go. She
called PAWS. She is highly unusual because you don't find orange cats with blue eyes. We had to see for ourselves. Sure enough
when we went to check it out, true as could be she was an orange female with big blue eyes. We took her in to foster her and
find her a forever home. She was very thin and dirty. Boy when she cleaned up she was just beautiful. Her face reminds me
of the innocent face that Puss in Boots gives on Shrek. She is still timid but I am working on that. She likes to talk to
me when I enter the room. When I pick her up she just curls up in a ball. She does the same thing on my lap. She
will need a quiet home and someone with some patience and she will reward you with conversation and lavish affection.

Kinobi
DOB appx 5/26/07, DSH black
and white male. Tizzi and Kinobi were found at a Melbourne apt/condo area where maintenance had been directed to take them
to the county shelter. They were BOTTLE fed by PAWS from 10 days old. So they are extra sweet! Kinobi is very loving & likes to sleep in your lap or on the back of the couch. Very sweet &
likes tummy rubs and his ears massaged! Kinobi (and his sister Tizzi)
were returned at age 1 year old, due to owner's allergies. |

Nick
DOB appx Feb 2004, DSH blue and cream mackeral tabby
and white. Very sweet cat, was in a kill shelter adoption room and they ran out of room so his number was up. He is VERY friendly,
outgoing and loving. This is one of our favorite cats. We held him back from adoption events because when he got here he would
stress and overgroom, so he was almost hairless on his tummy. We took him to the vet and moved him to a less stressful
foster area. His coat filled in and he is gorgeous.
Nick prefers to get attention without
being picked up (he's a big boy anyway so he's heavy). He has fabulous green eyes and we
have tried and tried to sneak up on him with the camera but he acts like a movie star and turns the other way - until the
other day - we finally got him looking at the camera.

Alanan
DOB 2004, DSH spayed tortoiseshell
tabby tuxedo (wow that's a mouthful....). Alanan had a great home then the owner passed away, so she is back in foster care.
She is a little shy for a day or so around strangers, then she's fine. OK with other cats. She had been adopted with Savanna
(listed on our Older Cat Adoptions page), now they are both back. Alanan is a
little timid but is okay once she knows you. She likes to sleep beside your hip at night.

Juliet
DOB approx 7/27/08
DSH solid black spayed female. Juliet was found on the side of the road in Cape Canaveral starving and all skinned up.
A nice lady picked her up and brought her to PAWS. Now she is healthy and beautiful and ready to be the new member to your
family. She is one of the prettiest solid black cats I have seen. Her fur is full and shiny. You would have never know where
she began. She is great with other cats and dogs are OK too.

Phoebe
DOB appx Sept 2006, DSH creme and blue tuxedo, spayed
female (momcat). Phoebe was found dumped with (we think) two separate litters of hers, on a Friday the 13th. She was very
thin and we have been fattening her up! She's a very sweet cat, and extremely petite. Phoebe has a virus which is NOT contagious but she will always have, it is called:
Feline Cutaneous Fibropapilloma. Due to this
virus, most people will skip adopting her, despite her being a very nice and playful kitty! This virus requires no special care, there is a cure...time...and immune supplements.
We hope for that one special adopter to come along because her immune system is consistently "taxed" in foster care
with the revolving door of kitties and kitty stress. So her virus will clear quickly in a private home. We verified
this with the actual scientists who did the original study on FCF. Contact

Lila
DOB appx 2006, DSH shiny black coat!
Gorgeous spayed female. Lila was found dumped on the street in the same place as Collier was, with the same kind of injury.
(hmmm) Lila had a cut under her armpit so those take awhile to fully
knit. It is completely healed (took several months). She was hungry
and scared, now she has filled out and looks like a completely different cat! She weighs in now at a whopping 17 pounds.
OK with other cats, she typical female cat personality (needs
her space occasionally). She loves attention so it is really hard to get a picture of her, she is constantly walking toward
the human holding the camera! |

Deco DOB appx June 2006 (best guess), DSH black
& white spayed female, with left eartip (this means she was living on the street). Deco was turned in at the animal shelter,
and because she tested FIV+ she was going to be put to sleep. FIV isn't a big deal, we have lots of vets, foster moms, and
previous adopters who agree. See the Cornell University website for more info or links on our Helpful Information page. Deco is very loving and sweet, and has interesting markings. She sure has come out of her shell now! Deco LOVES
to be petted, will turn herself inside out coming back for more attention. Her favorite is having her face and forehead rubbed
and scratched. She practically dances around you if you pet her. She is extremely playful and LOVES being held. After you
pet her, she will "paw" your hand back to her face for more petting!! She's a bedbug, and would be a lapcat but
there is too much competition here! Deco is also extremely playful so would do well in an active home. |

Abby
DOB appx June 2007. DMH brown mackeral tabby spayed female. She is most likely a Maine Coon mix, as she
has the fur and the facial structure. However, she's a miniature - she's very petite. So if you want the look but not the
18-25 pounds, here's your cat choice! Abby was found hovering
around the edges of a feral colony in the woods outside some apartments, looking for food. The caregiver noticed her as being
a new cat (good caregivers know all the cats they feed daily, so new kitties are noticed immediately and caught ASAP to foster,
like Abby, or fix & release if they are feral). Abby was
limping, poor thing, so the caregiver took her to a vet. Abby had an abcess on her leg, which is healed very quickly!! She
had a terrible case of worms...and after deworming, she gained 3 pounds in less than a month! Abby is very petite and looovveess to be petted, she is a great lapcat. She takes a few days to settle in (like most
cats) and is now doing fine in a foster room with about 12 free-roaming cats. In foster care, Abby REALLY came out of her shell! Now that her tummy doesn't hurt from the worms, she plays and
romps with the kittens, and her little personality is awesome! After her leg healed, we found she LOVES to be picked up -- I was slow dancing with her in my arms, and singing along
to the radio, and she was purring up a storm! I am so proud of this cat, she is a TRUE success story, coming off the street
looking so awful and now is healthy and happy, playing joyfully, in 8 weeks. Abby was adopted & returned. The adopter's vet said she had a heart murmur, grade
1. Our vet did not find a heart murmur when we first got her. So we sent her back to our vet after we got her back.
We now have two more veterinary opinions, that
Abby does NOT have a heart murmur. However there was some wheezing in her chest which does not go away even with antibiotics
(which the foster mom had also noticed), so an xray was taken. A specialist looked at the xray, she does not have asthma.
(whew)
Abby's 5th veterinary exam was done in the foster
home on 4/26/09. The vet listened to Abby's chest, and there was nowhere near the wheezing she had at the vet clinic, so the
vet agrees that Abby stresses out when she takes a car ride in a carrier. So, Abby is FINE and is looking for that great "forever home". As you see from the pictures, she is a HAM
and loves having her picture made. Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com

Baby DOB 2007, DSH smoke female,
very small build, petite and lanky. Beautiful green eyes! Obviously has a little siamese in her from her lanky build,
and she talks a little (her vocals sure did calm down after being spayed).
She is fine being picked up -
even by strangers. She loves to play chase with our dog!
Baby was turned in at the county shelter and we fell in
love with her outgoing attitude toward things. She's a survivor. Evidently from what the shelter staff said, she was pulled
from a hoarding situation.
Her smoke color is actually a rare color - we love kitties this color but most people
don't know what we are talking about!!! We have several kitties lately who are this color: Baby, Pretty Girl, Widget,
and Joshua. The deal with a smoke color is, they LOOK black, but with a closer look, they are actually more of
a charcoal grey color with almost-black stripes. What you do is, rub the fur BACKWARDS and you will see underneath it is not
dark, it's WHITE! That's a true smoke color, when the reverse fur color is white. Too cool.

Breanna
DOB approx 9/12/08, DSH white with gray patches female. Breanna
was turned in with her mom and siblings at the North Animal Care Center (NACC) in Titusville. Because they were owner turn
ins, they can be put down at any point. They were desperate! PAWS rescued them and put them in a loving foster home so they
could find Forever Homes.
Both her siblings and her mama have found their Forever Homes. Breanna is the only one left of the group now. She loves
to play with the turbo chaser (ball that rolls around in a track in a circle or other shapes). She plays for hours with her
kitty friends. She doesn't mind dogs too much. She is a mild mannered well adjusted cat.
UPDATE: Meow, I’m Breanna. I am a female patch tabby almost 2 years old. I am quiet as a mouse
but occasionally, I like to chat. I’ve been told that I have a great voice so I'll chirp for attention or for my morning
yum yums. I live with 2 other patch tabbies (see Paco Bandito’s Bio) so occasionally, I’ll use catouflage to fool
my foster mom into giving me another treat! I get along with all of my cat housemates but I’m especially bonded to the
young playful cats in my house. On the first day of meeting, we were playing soccer in the living room and now make an evening
game of it. And believe me when I say that no bug survives in my household, I earn my vittles. I am very social, not only
with other cats, but, with people too. I follow my foster mom from room to room and I play Marco Polo with her; when I loose
sight of her, I will call out with my special chirpy meow until she calls back, then I come running. Yeah, I could look through
all the rooms for her but where’s the fun in that? At dinner time, I’ll sit in an open chair, I never get a plate
but I’m still waiting for the day she decides to serve me. At night, I sleep next to my foster mom with all the other
cats. I’m polite, I don’t walk on anyone but I do like to snuggle up with my foster mom, and sometimes I steal
a pillow if you’re not looking. What? It's my size, of course it's made for me to sleep on! I have excellent house manners,
when I’m told ‘no’, I listen and obey. I am a sweet and tender soul. I am looking for a home with a playmate,
I would be completely bored with no other cats, I enjoy running around and chasing stuff, it’s what I do. So, if your
cat is looking for a companion, look no further, I’ll teach them to play soccer and show them how train their people
to pet, give lots of snacks and play Marco Polo.

Sergio
aka Frosty Paws Sergio Video
4 year old DSH neutered male black
with white tips on front paws.
Sergio and his buddy JR (adopted) were originally found in a feral colony as kittens.
They were taken in by their caregiver to their home to live. Unfortunately, a family member has been diagnosed with a serious
illness that prevents them from being able to care for them anymore. PAWS is helping to find them new forever homes. Sergio
like JR is a big boy and has just as much love to give as he is big. In the picture his poised and ready to pounce on me and
hug me and smother me with kisses. Every morning when I go into the foster room to feed and love on every one, he greets me
the same way. At first he was the shy one --- he stayed behind the big bookcase with his head and paws sticking out just
enough to see what was going on. That lasted a few days and all of a sudden he was out and full of love. I am told that both
boys are siblings. He is not fazed by my two dogs and would most likely do well with children but wouldn't
be light enough to be picked up and carried around. Contact Lynn at: bluemoonwolf@earthlink.net |

Taffi
DOB
appx January 2009, DSH brown mackeral tabby tuxedo. Spayed female & vaccinated as of 1/26/10. Very sweet -
let me tell you this story!
Usually rescuers are women, you know. Well, over time those husbands do get trained.
It takes years, but they do soak up something! LOL So...my husband was taking his evening walk and saw this kitty come
out of the woods, and head right into traffic. Just trotting down the street, not a care in the world, and headed right for
a car.....she darted out of the way just in time....so of course my wonderfully triained husband scooped her up, and walked
3/10 of a mile home with her, she was OK being held - at night, walked by a stranger, all that way! Does that tell you
anything about her super sweet personality!!!
As for her personality, we can tell she
was with other cats. However she does like to stay "up" on furniture and away from the other cats. Dunno if
she was chased away by other cats or something.
Taffi is currently not a
lapcat, again that could be because so many cats want our lap and she stays aloof from other cats, but loves humans! In the pictures she was very curious about the camera, it was really hard to get her to back away for a full body
picture! So her head looks really big in some of them because she kept sticking her face up to the lens ....

Cricket
DOB appx 4/18/09, dilute tortie, mostly grey with a big beige
spot on her face. Spayed female. Very playful and high energy, thus her name!! Cricket was pulled from kill room
at eau gallie.
We cannot believe Cricket is not adopted yet. She's the last of the litter
of 7 we pulled June 10, 2009. She knows her name, is petite (will probably be a 7 pound kitty). OK being held. Loves the laser
pointer toy!!!

Dusty Dusty is from the cute litter of four born about April 5, 2009. Their mom gave birth
to them in a roof over hang in a neighbor's house. When the little guys started walking around the gutters, the owners decided
it was time to pull them out and call PAWS. Mama kitty took very good care of these little rolly pollies. They are very
healthy and cute as could be. Sibling to Dapple, Flicker,
and Tiddles, who have been adopted.
Dusty is DSH white with brown tabby patches, and he has a white blaze down his nose. He is a very social
boy and will chirp to let you know he is happy. He likes to play with feathers. He will carry one around as if it is alive
for hours and talk about it. He is good with dogs and would be great with children.

Mandie
DOB appx 3/15/09,
DSH-DMH tortie tuxedo. Spayed Female. Mistyh as white on her nose, chest and feet. She was found in the parking lot
at Publix on SR524 in Cocoa. The person called around and was sent to NACC which is the county (kill) shelter. She was upset
to learn this shelter has only a 2% adoption rate so we agreed to pull the kitten.
Mandie is sweet and a little timid after being in a cage at NACC. She was also caged here due
to URI but she is over that now so we are letting her out with the others to play. She is a little timid of noise, so we are
suggesting she have a home without very young children. We are working with her on being picked up, she is improving daily,
it's a trust factor. UPDATE: Mandie is lots better with noise, new people, and being picked up.
We finally got some better pictures of her. She has
alot of white on her face so the flash really reflects off her face, it's hard to get a pic of her beautiful colors because
of that! The pic on the purple carpet shows her colors the best.
Update: Due to Mandie's chronic URI from being at the county shelter, she has intense nasal passage scarring
and will always 'snore' when she breathes.

Miley
DOB appx April 17,
2009 DSH dilute tortie, spayed female. Miley was very loving as a kitten and is more aloof now that she is grown. We think
if she gets into a home with less distractions of other cats, she will bond again with humans and be less aloof. We
recently had her caged to treat her for diarrhea (she's firm now) and she was very friendly one-on-one.

Rorie DOB appx 3/15/09,
DSH brown torbie. This color means she is brown with orange (instead of the typical black with orange). The word 'torbie'
is short for 'tortoiseshell tabby'. (yes because that's alot to say every time). If the cat has even one stripe
at all, it's called a torbie. If there are no stripes, it's are a tortie. DOH!
This litter was found in the
woods in Cocoa. Sibling to Scout, Debo, Drake, who have been adopted. She
is a typical tortie, growly for the first couple of days. She tends to keep to herself so she would be okay going alone
to a home. She is very independent and so you can only hold her for short times. It's on 'her' terms!!!
And...this
litter looks and jumps like they have some Abyssinian in them! |

Sammy
DOB approx. 3/27/09. Male DSH white with black spots. Sammy was
literally living in a hole in the ground when this nice family found him. They wanted to make sure the he got a good
forever home so they called PAWS. We took him in and found that he is quite a little character. He loves to play. I have found
him playing with smaller kittens that are in a large kennel for isolation. He would give them toys and sometimes take their
toys. But most of the time he was trying to play with them. He has been with children and is around other kittens and cats.
He loves to play! He has the coolest spots like a Dalmatian. Sammy is very social and doesn't mind being handled. He will pat you with his paw to see if it is ok to get
on your lap and to tell you not to stop petting him. He has on occasion given me a lick on the face to wake me up to let me
know he was there. If that didn't do the job he would then pat my face with his paw very gently. I can't resist. He
was adopted and then one of the children got severe asthma (she tried nebulizers) and it didn’t' work out. Sammy
has been around young children. Sammy would probably do well with small dogs. He has been around my two medium to large dogs.

Ferily DOB appx 2008 or 2009. DMH / Maine Coon mix spayed female. I have actually had this
cat in my home since September 2009, and it's quite the story!! Just now (March 2010) listing her for adoption....Here is
Ferily's Story!!! As most of our PAWS "followers" and adopters know, I manage several (5) feral cat colonies around
the Cocoa area. If you have "established" colonies, the cats are all fixed and you watch like a hawk at feeding
time for newcomers. What you don't want is that newly-dumped (and scared to death) female getting pregnant or giving birth
before you can get her spayed!! You also want to catch the new ones (chances are they are tame) before they revert to the
wild, which takes about 3 months. If they are tame you can have them vetted and find them a new home. At one of my colonies where I
had recently gotten the population under control, I see this new cat. Due to the medium fur I had no clue if it was male or
female. So 50/50 chance of female and I wanted to get her trapped right away. She was new, so possibly tame, and she looked
very hungry. I had a trap in the car so I set it up with some yummy canned food, and she was an easy one, I practially pushed
her in!! A couple of days later I got a vet appointment to get her spayed. The vet said the cat was very, very thin and could
I hold the cat to fatten her up a little before re-releasing her to the feral colony? Of course I agreed. The trick is to
use a large enough trap to hold a small litterpan at one end, and food/water at the other. After a couple of days I realized 3 things - she was tame
(and probably recently dumped), why she was thin, and why she was dumped (probably). She had some horrific and violent diarrhea.
Yep, that'll do it in most homes. The area I got her from is Section 8 housing so tempers are short, and so is money for vet
care. So, off we went to the vet. Oh boy was this an uphill battle. It took me 3 months to stabilize her poo, and each day
I would have quite a mess in that cage to clean up. Our paper towel budget about doubled. Finally I got the hint to put paper
towels under the litterpan and that made it easier to clean up, because they absorbed any watery "spills". Ahem.
Well, after she got stabilized, I let her out of the cage. Yes, she is tame. To a point. She was in a home where (most likely)
she did not get alot of positive attention. So she is just a touch skittish until she trusts you. Food wins her over every
time!!! She's actually quite a nice girl who is ok being picked up by people she trusts. So, she's not feral, but I had to
give her a name to get her on the "roster" at the vet for her fecals and meds to correct her little gut problem.
Thus her name Ferily. (derived from the word "feral" on the fly at the vet) I don't want to have to put her back
out in that Section 8 housing area, she's having SO MUCH FUN here, she plays like you have never seen....I think she's one
of those cats who didn't have a good "childhood" so she's making up for it now! I'm working on better pictures.
She's a very light brown color. |

Tinkerbell
DOB approx 5yrs 2005 DMH
solid Grey Maine Coon Mix. Tinkerbell was found in Cape Canaveral by a citizen with a collar and tags. She was taken
to the County Shelter in hopes that her owner was looking for her. No one came to claim her. When the numbers from the tags
that were on her collar were called, all were disconnected. How sad. She had been left behind. She is such a lovely cat. She
curls up next to me at night. She loves to give kisses and will roll over for a belly rub if you are willing. She greats all
people with lots of love and affection. She is not sure about being around other cats.

Shellie DOB
appx July 2009, we think this sweetie is about a year old. She was dumped at a local gas station with her kittens.
The lady put them on the sidewalk, stomped her feet to make them run away, then drove off. (that is very illegal and fines
are $500 per animal!!!) The kittens were taken in by a customer, and the momcat is now in rescue.
She
is very sweet and will actually raise up on her hind legs to reach your hand to be petted. OK being held. Seems to
be ok with other cats, the typical hissing is going on while she adjusts.
Update - this is the best
all around kitty! Very tolerant of everything, loves people, greets everyone, and she hums and makes all sorts of
squeaks about lots of things.

Tatyana aka Taty Purrrrrr,
I'm Tatyana, Taty for short (since I'm a very petite little lady I need a very petite name). I am a three year old,
Siamese Calico which makes me the most unique kitty ever because I have brown and peach spots with baby blue eyes. I
am very gentle, very quiet, and extremely affectionate. I start purring when I see your hand approaching me, I like
to pre-purr. I sleep in the bed next to my foster mom with all of the other foster cats. I get along with everyone
in my house (two of the boy cats have a crush on me, I think it's cute). I love to be in your lap. I came from a trailer
full of cats, our previous owner went to jail and the person left to care for us did not feed us regularly and we did not
receive much attention. Now, I'm happy, healthy and thriving in my foster home, I just wish I had a permanent home with
a family to love. If you are looking for a snuggle bunny, look no further. If you would like to adopt me with
my best buddy: Betty Boop, that would be great, we grew up together and play together and would like to stay together.
The shelter thought I was five but I'm younger than that and love to play ball with my 1 year old buddy, Betty Boop,
so you'd never even know I'm not a young lady.
UPDATE: Betty Boop has been adopted by one of our
PAWS volunteers. Contact Tracy at: teesweet@gmail.com |

Maya  I'm Maya, on the go! I am an indoor/outdoor 3 year old female
tabby cat. I wondered into a colony of feral cats even though I was tame. I wasn't able to get any food as I'm
a gentle soul and the feral cats were very mean to me. Now I live with my foster mom, I like napping inside but I must
have my outdoor playtime. I need a house with a fenced in yard or a courtyard, I need daily sunshine! I have
a little mainecoon in me, so I don't meow, I trill. I love to be petted but I'm not a lap cat, I sleep next to my owner,
not on top of her. If there is a loud noise, I get scared, so I need to be adopted by a family without children.
If you have a home that needs to be rid of pests, I'm your cat, nothing, not even the ants have a chance against my exterminator
skills. I am everyone's favorite when they come by to visit, they love the way I embody the independent catitude but
then roll around belly up for affection. BTW, don't mind the picture, this is one of my post-catnip pix....

Allie
DOB appx January
2008. DSH black with teeny bit of white on her chest. Spayed female. Ali is a great one-on-one kitty.
She loves to be with and around her human. She'll sit happily beside you, or on your lap, and just purr away.
Of course, if you're petting her, she likes that even more! She's also a bit of a "talker" - just ask her
a question and she'll answer - very cute! We tried introducing her to other kitties. We had a tough time, but there are
fewer cats in the foster room now, so she is no longer as aggressive as long as she has her "space"! It's like she
learned she can either be nice, or live in a supersized cage, which we had to do with her for about 4 months. Finally
she figured it out!!! So, she will be ok in a home with other animals, as long as it's just a handful.

Bailey 
DOB appx
2008, DSH grey mackeral tabby tuxedo. Neutered male / front declaw. Baily is FIV+ and it could be from exposure to another
cat (or from his mom) or from a vaccine. FIV is not a big deal as long as the cat is healthy! See the Cornell University website for more info or links on the Helpful Information page on our website. It is only passed via mating and fighting (bloody fighting not casual play fighting). Since they don't
mate for "fun" after neutering, that is not an issue. Bailey is not aggressive so as long as he is with nice non-aggressive
kitties, the virus will not have a chance to spread. It is not spread thru food sharing. Bailey is VERY friendly
and gets along fine from day one, he doesn't hiss or spit at any situation. Amazing!!! He likes to greet you with a
"meow". So he is a little vocal. Contact Mona

Roxanne
DOB approx 2008. DSH spayed female. Roxanne is a sweet little lady rescued from the local shelter
very pregnant. She gave birth and was the best mom in the world to her babies! Now she needs a loving and wonderful
home too. Roxanne is beautiful, a striking calico with a white chest and white feet. But also colored like a tortie.
She is sweet and quiet and would do best in a quieter home without small children. (She always blinks for pictures...so
this is the best picture of her, she is even more gorgeous in person!)

Spencer DOB approx mid 2009. DSH Turkish Van neutered
male. My name is Spencer and I am the
sweetest, most loving guy you'll ever meet! I am very social and love attention and hugs. I like to sit with you
and be close to people. I am a lap cat most of the time. I am also very playful and fun, and I love toys -
I am still quite the kitten. I am pretty handsome too with my beautiful white coat and only my tail and a spot on my
head is a striking tabby! Need a good buddy or someone to keep you company? I am the one!

Hugo
DSH Gray tabby neutered male approx 2-3 years old.
This poor beautiful cat was dumped outside during our January cold spell,
his owners moved and left him. He's a real people cat, loves to be with you. We don't know about dogs, but he looks like
he could hold his own with one.

Julian
DOB
(best guess) 2005. DSH brown tabby & white neutered male. This is the sweetest cat...If all cats were this nice, then
every cat would definitely be adopted. Julian was living on the street and was brought to a feral/stray cat spay/neuter
clinic. He was fixed and vaccinated (and eartipped for a life on the street). The volunteers noticed he had skin mites, and
some eye inflammation, so one of the PAWS foster moms agreed to take him and treat him. He is fine now and had no problems
since! That was Dec. 2007. Julian was adopted in 2008, and the children were carrying him around, which
he had a problem with (the ribcage carrying method). His family was sad to give him up but it was for the best as the
children were young and this was the only way they could carry a cat. They said other than that he is an AWESOME kitty
who loves sharing your pillow at night. (I have to add to that - it's more like "stealing" your pillow at night!!) |

Paco Bandito
Paco
Bandito is my name, playing is my game. I am a 3 year old, male tabby. I was living with a mom, a dad and a 1
year old baby and having the time of my life when my parents had to move to another state. They could not take me along
and I was grieving for 2 months after being left behind. I miss the hugs from my little baby. I was the only cat
but now I live with 8 other cats and get along famously. I'm over my sadness and now meow for attention often.
I enjoy hanging out with my other cat friends. I am playful but not over the top, I get along with my older housemates
perfectly. I am looking for a home with children or older adults. I am not sure how I will be around a dog but
so far, I'm happy around people and cats who are laid back. I will run at loud noises but I am quick to come backout
after the "danger" is gone. Please find a place in your heart for me, I'm a very gentle, loving soul. Contact Tracy at: teesweet@gmail.com |

Nala
This gorgeous female ragdoll mix
was brought to the county shelter because the owner was ill. PAWS was there rescuing 2 persians that were going
to be euthanized and we couldn't leave this beauty there for a similiar fate. Nala is 2 1/2 - 3 years old with the biggest blue eyes
we have seen. She fit right in the new foster home without a whimper and loves a lap to curl in. She's
very mellow and would make a great companion.

Purdy
DOB approx
2008 DSH female Torbie.
Purdy was dumped at a local utility plant. During the cold winter we had she tried
to get warm by entering their storage buildings. After being run out of them she managed to get up in the drop ceiling in
the main building. She began to meow because she wanted down and really caused a ruckus. The guys there were convinced that
she was ferral because she didn't trust them so they trapped her. I convinced them to give her to me to prevent her from
being dumped angain or taken to the pound. Turns out that she was just scared and hungry. She is the sweetest little cat.
She has such a nurturing personality. She has taken my 12 yr old persian under her wing along with Zane and Zeva our newest
tiny arrivals. I am so happy she ended up with us. She gets along with others wonderfully! As for the dogs, she holds her
own.

Freda
DOB appx July 2009, DSH lilac
point siamese, spayed female, we got his litter when we responded to a "free kittens" sign by the road. The lady
now has all her stray cats fixed, thanks to our local spay neuter programs for strays and ferals (via Space Coast Feline Network).
This little girl is a quite shy but loves to be petted, if you can catch her! So, she hasn't really tamed up, and
now that she is older, she is more skittish than ever. So we are looking to put her into a feral colony -- must be an indoor
one. If she goes outdoors, with her light coloring, she would be owl or hawk bait.
Her momcat
was caught and tested for Feline Leukemia so we are all set. Sibling to Freddy and Frank.

Storm Approx DOB July 2009. DMH Maine Coon mix brown tabby spayed
female. My name is Storm, I was rescued from the
animal shelter, I was on the list to be euthanized. I understand what they mean by "timing is everything."
I am a very young, beautiful Maine Coon mix, but I’m small like a mini-Maine Coon. I love attention and I love
playing with my housemate Clooney (see his bio for details). However, I am a bit of a hissy-pants. I hiss when
I’m afraid or nervous and since I've had a very rough start, it takes me a few days to get comfortable and situated
with new people. That is why I am requesting a quiet loving home filled with someone who will protect me and that I
can trust. Once you win me over, I'll let you hold me like a baby, but I have to decide that you are not going to take
me back to the shelter first! It was very traumatic for me, but once I trust you, I'm a love bug. Contact Tracy at: teesweet@gmail.com

Clooney DOB approx July 2009. DMH Maine Coon mix black and white neutered male.
Hello, they call me Clooney because I make the ladies swoon. I am handsome,
sweet, attentive and let you know that your presence is greatly appreciated. I love to be held, I crave attention, and
I am very gentle with all of my people and cat friends. I am a young cat so I do enjoy playing but my main focus is
getting petted and held. I’ll stop what I’m doing when you start petting me, I like to focus on feeling
the love. If you turn your back on me, I’ll gently tap you on the shoulder just to let you know that I am still
here if you would like to pet me so more. Besides affection, my other interests are: playing, treats, and toys (not
necessarily in that order). I loooooooooooooooooove treats and will play by myself with anything that even remotely
resembles a toy; balls, catnip toys, a piece of plastic, whatever, if it moves, I'm game. I am extremely laid back. I was rescued
from the local animal shelter, they put me in a cage in the kill room with a cat I’ve never met, and I was fine with
it even though I was suffering from a cold. Luckily I was rescued by my foster mom who put me with another two new cats.
I get along with every cat I meet, even if they are hissy-pants, it doesn’t bother me. Eventually, I win them
over, that’s why they call me Clooney….. I am seeking an individual or family
that has a cat and wants another for company. If you want someone to stay by your side while you sit on the sofa or
work at the computer, then I’m your cat. Contact Tracy at: teesweet@gmail.com
