Adoption Update! 🐾 Honeydew was adopted in September and wasted no time settling into her new home! She immediately set out to explore, quickly claimed her favorite armchair, and greeted her new family and visitors with warmth and curiosity. This friendly girl loves keeping her person company, whether they’re reading a book or watching baseball. She also has plenty of cute quirks, including rolling onto her back for pets and belly rubs, greeting her person with happy chirps and meows, and waking them up for breakfast with polite little paw taps to the face! 🧡

💬 “I could not have asked for a better companion! Honeydew is the friendliest cat I have ever met... She makes my day brighter and I am so glad to have welcomed her into my home.” - Honeydew’s adopter

We're so glad Honeydew is so loved in her new home! 🧡

Meet Evelyn! 🐾 This 7-year-old, 15-pound sweetheart is ready to find a cozy place to call home. She likes to take things at her own pace, but once she warms up, she makes a great companion.

Evelyn enjoys gentle walks, tasty treats, and a soft couch to nap on. She also appreciates the occasional lap cuddle once she’s settled in. This little lady is looking for a patient, adult-only home where she can relax, feel safe, and enjoy all the comforts of a forever home. 🏡

Evelyn’s adoption fee is waived! 🐾 Interested in adopting? Visit 🔗 www.paws.org/adopt/steps-to-adoption/

November is National Senior Pet Month! 🧡🐾

Senior pets make wonderful companions, bringing love, personality, and joy to the families lucky enough to welcome them home.

This month, consider opening your heart and home to a senior pet. They deserve a loving family and a comfortable place to enjoy their golden years, too.

We have several senior cats waiting for homes right now! 🔗 www.paws.org/adopt/cats/

We have some rock star wildlife team members caring for A LOT of bears this season! 🐻🧡

This young American Black bear arrived at PAWS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in October from the Skagit County area. She was quite small and thin when she first came into care. 🌲

She received a full veterinary exam, including radiographs and bloodwork, to assess her health. Over the coming months, she’ll focus on growing stronger, gaining weight, and developing the skills she’ll need to thrive in the wild.

It's been a BIG bear season at PAWS, and we couldn't be prouder of our incredible Wildlife team. Caring for so many bears takes an extraordinary amount of time, expertise, and dedication. Huge kudos to the staff and volunteers putting in so many hours to give these cubs everything they need to grow strong and prepare for the wild. 🌲

Adoption Update! 🐾 Sofie, now named Sofie Indi Bins, was adopted earlier this year, and has settled right into her new home! She quickly warmed up to her new family and doggie sister, and she’s been keeping her people entertained ever since. Indi is quite the chatterbox and loves having conversations with her family. She may have plenty to say, but she’s just as affectionate and loves ending the day with a good snuggle.

💬 “Indi has brought more purpose into both of our lives. Learning how to be a young adult isn’t so easy, and having a loving cat to come home to makes the days brighter!” – Indi’s adopter

Thank you for giving Indi the loving home she deserves! 🧡

No tricks here, just a treat! 🎃

Meet Jello! 🐈‍⬛ This 5-year-old black cat came to PAWS as a stray and is affectionate, sweet, and has a sassy side, too. Black cats can get overlooked in shelters, but they have so much love to give! 🧡

A few Halloween safety tips for your pets 🐾
🔸 Keep candy, chocolate, and wrappers out of paw’s reach.
🔸 Set up a quiet, comfy room with your pet’s bed, water, and toys to help them feel safe.
🔸 Keep pets secure when trick-or-treaters arrive, and make sure they’re wearing ID tags in case they slip out!

Have a safe and fun Halloween!
