Forever Home Needed- kittens!!

Meet the Pumpernickel Litter: Brioche & Challah!

Brioche (short-haired black male) and Challah (short-haired tabby female) are 7-month-old siblings who were born in November 2024 to a wonderful mama cat who was sadly abandoned. Thankfully, they were raised in a loving foster home, and it shows in their affectionate personalities.

Brioche is a BIG boy—already over 10 pounds!—with a panther-black coat and an outgoing, social personality. He loves everyone and is full of energy and charm. Challah is much smaller and more reserved at first, but once she trusts you, she’s incredibly sweet, snuggly, and playful. She has a striking tiger-striped coat and resembles a tiny black-footed wildcat.

Both kittens are playful, especially with string toys and laser pointers. They play well on their own but thrive with interactive play. They should do well with cat-savvy kids, other cats, and even dogs with proper introductions.

Brioche is neutered, and Challah is spayed. They’re both vaccinated and FIV/FeLV negative—healthy, happy, and ready for their forever home!

Meet Angel!!

Edit We added some pics❤️❤️

Her family reached out to us for assistance. It seems like Angel is pregnant and we found out that they thought she went into labor a couple of nights ago and had a greenish discharge They said it “looked” like she had a couple of contractions then nothing… until today when she started to bleed.

We made one call to our vet Quinebaug Valley Veterinary Hospital, LLC and she was on her way down. As we are writing this, they performed an emergency “C” section and they said she had one big baby. At this time we know Angel was waking up but we do not how the baby is.

What we do know is that this was her first pregnancy and it will be her last. It seems that the family also took in one of the many strays in the neighborhood which was an unneutered male.

This is why we promote spay and neuter!!! We must stop the cycle of unwanted pregnancies and kittens.

We were just thankful that we were there to help or she would have not made it. These calls are coming in frequently. Someone trying to do the right thing by taking a stray off the street…until something happens.

Any help you can give us to offset the cost will help immensely. We cannot do this alone and we know the calls will only increase.

You can Venmo: or
PayPal paypal.me/pawscatshelter

Once we get further updates, we will let everyone know.
Thank you from Angel and everyone at Paws Cat Shelter

Courtesy post!!

Meet Audrey. She is a 11 yr old female that is in need of a home. We posted her last year with no luck and the family has asked for our help again.

As she has gotten older she has decided that she wants to be the only cat in the house and is very stressed. The family has had her completely vetted with no issues.

The family says she is shy at first but warms up quickly. She needs to be the only one in the house.

This decision is very hard for the family but they want to do what is right for her.

If you can give Audrey a home, please reach out and we will connect you to the family.
