Tutu is a true social butterfly who thrives on human connection. His affectionate and easygoing nature makes him an absolute joy to have around, even though he hasn’t become a lap cat just yet. Whether he’s greeting you with his soft little meow, plopping down beside you while you relax, or curling up at the foot of the bed at night, Tutu is happiest when he’s close to his humans. Tutu would be the ideal cat for any family, as he's great with kids - even little ones. This tabby’s coat is a beautiful blend of brown, black and white.

Cannon is a sweet, social, sensitive guy who knows exactly what he likes and isn’t afraid to let you know. This black and white kitty loves other cats and would thrive in a home with a similar energetic feline companion to keep him company. Having a buddy around helps him feel comfortable and gives him the social interaction and playtime he enjoys. He could also be the only cat in the home but would prefer someone to be home as much as possible.He can become a bit overstimulated with too much petting; he appreciates gentle attention and knowing when to take breaks. We think he would do best in a home with no children.

Beanie, a beautiful calico, is bonded to a slightly younger black cat, Salem (aka Sal). They're a little bit shy at first, according to their foster mom, but they are very sweet young cats.

Before they are made available for adoption, all PAWS cats have had a vet examination, been spayed or neutered, received age-appropriate vaccinations, tested for feline leukemia, dewormed at least once, and microchipped. Other tests and procedures may have been provided, depending on their age and health status when they came into PAWS’ care. Adoption fees vary, depending on the cat’s age, and those fees are listed on the website.

Rest assured, in addition to those four 2-yr olds, PAWS has a number of other cats available for adoption.Some are too shy to come to the office, some are in the pipeline (a little too young or awaiting their medical clearance), while others are in residence at the Kitty Café in Peabody.Several would love to be seen by potential adopters, but do best in a more familiar, quieter environment, so arrangements are made for them to receive visitors at their foster homes.Appointments can be made after completing an adoption application online or by visiting the PAWS office this Saturday morning, between 10am and Noon.Additionally, PAWS has some cats awaiting their forever home at the Kitty Cat Café and Adoption Lounge on Newbury St (Rte. 1), Peabody, which provides visitation details on its website: kittycatcafema.com

If you are interested in meeting any of the PAWS kittens or cats, we encourage you to fill out a no-obligation adoption application, available on pawswakefieldma.org, and a coordinator will contact you.No fees are charged until an adoption is finalized. If you have questions about the adoption process or a particular cat, send an email to PAWS01880@gmail.com or leave a message on the 24-hour voicemail: 551-800-7297.
