Lex is a dapper older gentleman who enjoys looking sharp in his fancy bow ties!  He came to us in rough shape with many health issues including diabetes, arthritis, and irritable bowel.  This made some basic cat activities like walking and jumping or even grooming difficult. You could tell he just didn't feel well.  A change of diet to a novel protein diet (consisting of rabbit, duck, venison, and even alligator - $600/month!) and an injection for his arthritis has Lex feeling like a new kitty!  This 15 year old miracle boy takes his insulin without issue, has put on weight, and is now walking, jumping, demanding his yummy food, and snoozing in cozy spots. He feels so much better!  With his expert biscuit making and soulful eyes, he is sure to steal your heart, just as he has stolen ours.

Chickpea is a three year old stray who was rescued and fostered by PAWS Wakefield for 4 months.  He’s shy but is progressing step by step to becoming the energetic cat we know he is inside.  He now regularly adventures out, climbing his cat tree and playing with his favorite wand toy, and wrestling with his buddies.  When he first arrived in September, he wouldn’t let anyone pet him. Now, he asks for pets by head bumping people’s hands. We know this little chickpea has more than hummus to offer. His new people will have to work to make him continue to feel loved and safe. We also think he needs a cat buddy to keep him company.  We can’t wait to see how he continues to progress into the best Chickpea ever.  

Max is a 9 year old Siamese that was brought to us through a joint rescue effort between PAWS and PALS after his owner could no longer care for him. He is super friendly and has even shown an affinity for laps. We believe that Max is really short for “Maximum Love!” Max has kidney issues and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and we’re working with vets to stabilize his condition and help him gain weight back.  His current position as Walmart greeter means he is often the first one you will meet at the cafe. 

Aren’t Milo’s eyes mesmerizing?  Milo is a 7 year old who was surrendered to PALS when his family moved. Although he is often hiding during guest hours, he is super friendly and lovable when feeling brave and will probably follow you around everywhere you go.  He loves to play and has quite the jump for a chonky cat. Milo is a shedding machine, but loves being brushed all over!  

Meet Freya’s dad, a shy two year old who was rescued as a stray by PALS. Jack is a true cat’s cat, who loves the opportunity to bond with other cats and has gotten much braver around humans. Fortunately, he can wooed by Churu, allowing us to give him head pets! Jack has FIV, which can only be transferred to another cat through a deep bite, usually in the wild, and can live a normal life given good nutrition and routine vet care.

“Don’t stop loving me. Can we play now? Are we there yet? I’m ready for a snack.”  We think those are just some of the thoughts that go through Monty’s head in the course of a minute. This high-energy two year old boy was rescued as a stray by PALS before coming to the cafe. Unfortunately, he had lost a lot of fur patches, the likely cause being stress. With the help of the cafe, he has flourished into quite the snuggly, playful cat that he is inside! His favorite activities include hoarsing around with a turtle wand toy and wrestling with his buddy Kermit. Through the efforts of the cafe, we are working to help Monty build his courage and find him the right diet so he can be a model for the Fur Regrowth Club for Men.

Bear is a sweet 4 year old chonkster who is bonded with Moose. He was rescued by PAWS when his owners had to move. Fond of head butts, Bear would love to welcome you with his soulful eyes and playful spirit. Moose & Bear have an approved adopter and will be going to their furr-ever home in a few weeks.

Moose is an incredibly soft, fluffy, and friendly 10 year old boy who is bonded with Bear. They were rescued together by the people at PAWS when their owner moved. Moose can be hesitant at first but can’t resist a good pet or brushing. Moose & Bear have an approved adopter and will be going to their furr-ever home in a few weeks.

Wow, what a beautiful cat! With Sunny’s light orange fur and amber eyes, this cat is gorgeous! But besides his amazing looks, Sunny has a great personality. Sunny is a very social cat that loves to be pet and loves attention! This curious boy loves people that he meets and loves to be near them so he can get as much attention as possible and he will love to play with you! Sunny is looking forward to finding his furr-ever home with an amazing family for an amazing cat!

Meet Lady and Ginny, a beautiful, deeply bonded pair of 8-yr-old tortoiseshell soul sisters from the Odd Cat Sanctuary. They may not be related by blood, but they most definitely are in spirit. Since they resemble each other quite a bit, they might be hard to tell apart. Lady’s face is of narrower size and her fur is more red in color, while Ginny’s face is rounder and her fur is darker in comparison. They are the yin to the other’s yang, Lady being more social and brave, and Ginny being more reserved and timid. Lady is FIV+, but will be able to live a long life with the right nutrition and regular vet care. Lady can live with other cats, as we now know that FIV+ can only be transmitted through a deep bite, typically in wild outdoor settings. Despite their differences, the two are both affectionate and seek physical love from each other or humans. Lady and Ginny share an unbreakable bond that is conveyed through their eating from the same plate, following each other around the room, or (quite literally) stacking atop each other in their special space. Lady and Ginny truly demonstrate friendship and certainly have a lot of love to give to their future home.

Do you see a huge pair of eyes staring at you from behind the couch? A monster? No, it’s just Lord Briar, a beautiful 6 yr-old flame point siamese. This adorable boy was surrendered to the Odd Cat Sanctuary after coming from a tough home life. He started out shy and prefering to hide behind the couch, but has started getting braver and even climbed on a few laps. Lord Briar will accept head pats, brushing, and might even eat treats from your hand with a little encouragement. When you touch him, you’ll notice his indescribably soft fur! Lord Briar has serious Irritable Bowel Disorder which can be managed with the right dietary restrictions and vet care.
