Golden Paw Society, Inc. GPS: Helping Shelter Cats Find Their Way Into Forever Homes

We rescue cats from kill shelters and care for them at our adoption center until they are adopted.

Follow along and be a virtual part of our rescue mission! Located in Huntington NY Our shelters are filled to capacity with homeless, displaced cats; cats of all ages, many adults, who either sit for several months (day in, day out) waiting to be discovered and who are at-risk of being euthanized if they have or develop health issues or exhibit too much stress in captivity. Regardless of condition

s, no shelter cage is a happy or appropriate place for a cat to be in and cats suffer tremendously in the shelter setting, often surrounded by loud, barking dogs. In order to help us fulfill our mission, we have created a cat center for the cats we rescue! This is a true home-away- from-home for the cats to enjoy while we continue the work of finding homes for them. In our care, each cat we rescue is kept safe, comfortable and tended to medically and emotionally in preparation for adoption. Here, it’s all about the cats, and it’s about letting each one of them know they are wanted and wonderful even though somebody at some point in their lives decided they weren’t. One thing we know for sure: Whatever condition the cats are in when we remove them from the shelter setting, without fail they each begin to transform and come into their own and become the cats they are meant to be. It's an amazing and beautiful thing to see, and once they are adopted they transform even more. THIS is the beauty in what we do and this is the thing that keeps us driven to continue to do more. We are so proud and so excited to be doing this, and we ask for your support. Please visit our website at www.goldenpawsociety.org to see if there is a way you may be able to help us…So many homeless and hopeless cats will appreciate it, as will we!

Oh no! The dreaded CONE!! And it has to stay on for TWO WEEKS until his eye stitches dissolve!

The Munchmeister's surgery is DONE and he is on his way back to our Adoption Center just on time for dinner - his most favorite thing EVER! 🤣

His poor little eye looks so painful but omg so much better already, and we know he feels so much better not having eyelashes scraping up against his eye!

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated towards his eye surgery! We have thus far raised a few hundred towards the 2200 bill. Donation link in the comments if you would like to contribute. Every bit helps us to keep helping cats like Munchie to live their best lives!

Munchie handled his eye specialist appointment like a champ (even though he did have to be burritoed by the vet tech who needed to use her full body weight to hold him 🤣🤣)

We are so proud of him for enduring a few uncomfortable eye tests and attention to his face that he much preferred not to be getting.

His right eye is perfect - his left eye needs entropian surgery (to fix the bottom lid from turning inward and scraping eyelashes up against his eyeball!) This surgery will be life-changing for him as it will put an end to the constant irritation and damage to his eye he has been living with likely for years! 😩

Surgery is tomorrow morning! Munchie's upper lid that has the suspicious tissue can be examined more thoroughly once he is under sedation for the surgery - but the specialist is feeling optimistic about how this will turn out!

☺️😊

Asking for more prayers and positive energy for Munchie as he goes through this! We will of course keep you posted!

We were given a discount but the price tag of this surgery is still quite exorbitant.
Today's exam was $355. Tomorrow's surgery is $1933. Grand total (barring any complications or need for biopsies etc,) is $2288.

Munchie is worth every penny of it!

If you can help us with a donation towards the cost of this, it would be so very much appreciated! Munchie is one amazing cat out of close to a hundred in our care, and we have many more Munchie's to save in the future. Every donation helps us to keep saying YES to cats who need us. ❤️

Donations can be made here: https://www.goldenpawsociety.org/donate.html

Or checks payable to Golden Paw Society can be mailed to us at 260 Broadway, Huntington Station, NY 11746

Thank you so much! 🥰

Well it's a Magnificent Monday for this little girl because she just snagged herself a home!

🤩 BECKIE IS ADOPTED! 🤩

Great way to start the week after a weekend filled with other great adoptions! Zoe, Analise, Megan Ethan and Ronnie are HOME! Will share happy at-home photos as we receive them!

So, if you happen to be caught on camera while canoodling... play it cool. 😎

(Humans still have SO much to learn from cats! 😜)

These two have no guilt about the connection they have made, but they do like to be discreet and will pause when they realize they've been spotted.

We've had big boy, Tomato, for well over a year. Sherman is younger and relatively new on the scene and somehow, instinctively, Tomato has known to take this little boy under his wing (paw?)

Tomato, who used to be afraid of everything and everyone, must have recognized himself in his new little nervous friend. The very act of comforting Sherman has helped to heal Tomato of his fears as he is now a happy, confident kitty with a purpose. 🥰

Just kind of blown away by the purity and the wonder of love that our cats continue to show us. ❤️ There is simply nothing like it.

P.s. please don't ask us to keep them together - we know!!

'Twas over a week or so ago that we asked for prayers for Munchie. A biopsy was done on his nose with concerns about possible cancer.

The power of prayer works! We are so happy to share that Munchie's nose is cancer-free!!

We are not in the clear yet. Next Wednesday, Munchie sees an eye specialist to determine what is happening with his eyelids that is causing redness and discomfort for him.

Thank you for all the Munchie-love! Please keep it coming and we will keep you all posted. In the meantime, he is a cozy, happy boy tonight with no worries - as it should be. 🥰

The very littlest of our angels, Petunia, is fast asleep.and cozy on a heating pad. She has come so far and is soon going to be able to reunite with her rescued housemates. She has gotten stronger and better every day.

Sweet dreams, sweet angel. You have no idea how many of your dreams have already come true. ❤️

So sorry for the delay on this. Our day has been busy and full, and our hearts are also great and full, because we get to take care of such beautiful little beings in their time of need.

Yesterday we told you about going back to the municipal shelter for three of Petunias housemates. Their pictures are included here but we're holding off on reuniting them right now with Petunia because they are very stressed and she's still healing.

As we told you yesterday they're all kind of fragile as they've been through terrible trauma.

Those dark days are behind them and today has been the first day they've been able to wake up and see sunshine and feel peace in a long while. We will share happy pictures of them as they decompress, in the meantime these are their shelter pictures.

Please welcome Petunia's three very brave housemates to Golden Paw Society.

If you recall last week for our Summer Shelter Run, this little peanut named Petunia was one of the 32 cats we rescued. She was so excited to meet us in the shelter that we couldn't get a clear shot of her. She was in the isolation room and sick.

Petunia had survived a horrible situation where she and her housemates were left alone in their house in crates for who knows how long after their owner died. They were all found emaciated and covered in f***s and urine. 💔

Petunia was the worst off of those who survived this nightmare (some did not), and even after being rescued from that house and cleaned up and offered food in the shelter, she would not eat.

Complete shutdown, and it was getting to the point where she wasn't going to make it. 😩

We took her immediately upon meeting her! It took a few days of us syringe feeding for her to finally catch on and start eating on her own. She is now eating like a champ (!) but she has a long way to go and is now suffering from terrible upper respiratory infection and eye infections.

We love this little girl more than anything and we want her to be okay. 🙏

After having three quick adoptions with our new group of rescues this week, we ran back today to get three of Petunia's surviving housemates.

They are all fragile and have colds, but they are in better shape than she is and we are hoping that being reunited in a nurturing atmosphere will help all of them.

So back to today's math:
1 + 2 = 3. Three adoptions = 3 new rescues!
and now 3 + 1 = 4. We now have four little peanuts from the same nightmare SAFE with us under one roof!

We will show you their little faces when we introduce them to you tomorrow. Right now they are resting up from the journey and getting ready for their new lives.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

The first of our new-32 has been adopted!

Last week's Summer Shelter Run brought us 32 rescued shelter cats! Riley's sad little shelter pic the day we met her is on the right.

Few days later, Riley snagged herself a home with a prior adopter and we must say...being home and happy sure looks good on her! 🥰

Love is the greatest gift of all! ❤️

Yes it's the middle of the night but we thought it was worth mentioning that we have a tiny little peanut on our premises who goes by the name of Paige. 🥰

She's all grey and she has green eyes, so some might be tempted to suggest she is a Russian Blue, which we are all for if that will make someone notice her. 😬

She's also very tiny and her little face is kind of pressed in, which suggests there might be some Persian in her bloodline. 😲

Basically, what we're trying to say is that there is something truly amazing and unique about this little fur person we have in our presence. You could search the WHOLE world over and you will never find another one like this one. A Persian Russian Blue!! (Or, is she a Russian Blue Persian?? 🤔)

Paige. 9yo. Purrfect.

Awaiting discovery at our Adoption Center in Huntington Station NY. PUHLEASE put a stop to her wait!!!
