PAWS at Wakefield Farmer's Market this Saturday

Once again, PAWS is providing two opportunities on Saturday, August 8 to learn about their work and their adoptable cats.From 9am until 1 pm they will have a booth at the Farmer’s Market on North Avenue, where dedicated volunteers and foster parents can describe the work of the rescue and rehoming organization and talk about the specific cats now in their care. Look for PAWS’ yellow tent to get cat adoption information from the friendly volunteers and sign up for a free drawing for backpack filled with school related items, many of them cat themed.

Before they are made available for adoption, all PAWS cats have had a vet examination, been spayed or neutered, received age-appropriate vaccinations, been 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 charged by PAWS don't cover all the costs incurred in caring for the cats and kittens, so financial donations are warmly welcome. If you have questions about the adoption process or a particular cat you've seen on our website, send an email to PAWS01880@gmail.com or leave a message on the 24-hour voicemail: 551-800-7297.
