Cats Pawjamas Rescue Society

We have awesome cats and kittens available for adoption — some new faces, some familiar favorites. 🐾

And we will have new faces each week.

We’re still getting the newest arrivals up on Petfinder, but each photo includes the kitten’s name so you can go ahead and apply now at:

www.catspawjamas.org

Donations can be made via our website as well, or directly through Venmo (-Pawjasmas) or PayPal ()

All our cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, up to date on shots and worming, are microchip and come with a complementary lifetime registration. There is an adoption fee.

If you have a cat or two — and kids somewhere in that 6–12 age range — you already know this: they become absolutely obsessed with figuring out how old the cat is in people years.

Now you can show them this:

How old is your cat in people years?

Recently, while talking with cat owners about FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), I’ve been surprised to find that one myth still persists:

That FIV+ and FIV- cats cannot safely live together.

Years ago, people were often told that FIV-positive cats could only live with other FIV-positive cats. But as research has evolved, we’ve learned that isn’t true.

FIV-positive and FIV-negative cats can safely live together in stable households where cats are spayed or neutered and get along well.

FIV is primarily transmitted through deep bite wounds associated with serious fighting. It is not spread by sharing food bowls, litter boxes, grooming each other, cuddling, or normal day-to-day life together.

That means many FIV+ cats can safely live with FIV- cats without issue.

You can learn more here:

Unfortunately, despite what we now know, rescues like Cats Pawjamas still struggle to find homes for FIV+ cats and kittens.

Now that you know, would you consider adopting an FIV+ cat or kitten?

Why or why not?

Drum Role Please

It's time, Maeby is debuting on Petfinder and we are taking applications.

This is Maeby. She is a white domestic short hair. Her birth date is 2/3/26.

She also was born with some congenital anomalies.

She is deaf
She's a polydactyl (she has 6 toes on her back paws as opposed to the normal 4)
She is missing a bone in both of her front legs

Put all this together and her condition is called "bilateral radial hemimelia with hind limb polydactyly and congenital deafness.

Sounds like a lot right? But it's really not. Maeby doesn't know she's different and has the spirit of a lion! She's a happy girl that is quite sure she's the center of attention at all times. Nothing stops her. She can get on and off the bed. And up the cat tree. She's determined.

Her condition doesn't require treatment at this time and isn't anticipated to require any in the future. Since she walks on one elbow and relies heavily on the other leg, she will have to be monitored for sores from contact with the floor.

We are looking for the best home possible for her.

Fill out an application and come meet Maeby.

We rescue as many kittens like Maeby as we can afford to. Maeby happened to only required minimal vet care, but we didn't know what she would require when we took her.

Many of you have donated recently, Thank you! If you haven't, please help us continue to rescue cats like Maeby. This is our passion and why Cats Pawjamas exists.

Using this link supports donating via Venmo, PayPal or credit/debit.

I did not know what to expect when I made the post about Cats Pawjamas’ financial situation.

Since then, this community has donated roughly $1,600.

That amount may not sound life-changing. But to us? It means lifesaving.

It means food gets ordered.
Medical care gets approved.
Bills get paid without checking the bank account first.

It bought us a little breathing room.

Some people gave far beyond what I expected, and I’m still a little stunned by the generosity. But I also want people to understand something important: small rescues like ours survive because ordinary people decide to help. There is no giant funding source behind the scenes. It is literally people seeing a post, donating $10 or $25, sharing it, offering supplies, helping with events, or simply caring enough to pay attention.

That matters more than you know.

We are still operating very carefully, and the long-term financial challenges have not disappeared. But this response genuinely helped stabilize things in the short term and reminded me that people are still paying attention to what we’re trying to do.

Thank you for that.

Now the 21 kittens in our care would also like to thank you by immediately eating everything in sight.

We have less than $1,000 in the bank.
And they eat every day.

That’s the reality.

At the end of 2023, Cats Pawjamas had about $8,000 in reserve. We could say yes to medical cases without hesitation. Now?

Costs are up.
Income is down (about $6,000/year due to KDA enforcement changes).

And the math is struggling.

🐾

We are still doing everything we can:

• Buying in bulk
• Utilizing pricing only available to non profits
• Stretching every dollar as far as possible

But frugal only gets you so far.

🐾

If you believe in what we do, we would appreciate your immediate and ongoing support (yeah, these balls of fur KEEP eating!)

We have no financial cushion left. We are one emergency away from disaster.

Donate if you can.

And maybe you can help in other ways:

• Fundraising help
• Business connections
• Event coordination
• In-kind donations

🐾

Every dollar directly supports the cats in our care.

This is our little Chip. He keeps stealing the dog's bed at his foster's house. She does NOT appreciate it.

Chip does not care.

Here we are at the start of kitten season and we had the adoption of one of our longtime fosters yesterday!

The beautiful Liora was waiting for the right, patient Best Friends. She wasn't a cat that showed well, and definitely has "Stranger Danger", so finding an adopter that understands that can be difficult.

She found a family in Gardner with experience making friends with a more introverted cat. With time, patience and a supply of Churus, all will be well and she will have her own people to love her and fuss over her!

She had 5 siblings when she came to us 606 days ago at 6 weeks of age.

We keep our cats until they find their Best Friends. This means on-going costs for adults like possible dentals, ongoing food, litter, vaccinations, and equipment.
