Sadly, two longtime clients of PAWS NY passed away recently, and we are looking for a new home for their sweet pets: Gigi and Baby Boy. Are you interested in adopting either of them? 

Sweet Gigi is a senior Shepherd Mix who is super friendly and smart. She loves to be around people and is good with other dogs, and she needs some extra love as she lives out her golden years.

As a senior pup, Gigi deals with joint pain and is on a few daily medications. She doesn’t do well with stairs, so a home without steep steps would be ideal. We’re also hoping her fur-ever home will be with someone patient and strong, who can give her an occasional boost on her walks. 

Update as of December 20, 2023: Baby Boy has been adopted!

Handsome Baby Boy is also looking for a new home. A neutered, mellow senior cat who loves attention, Baby Boy hasn’t lived with other pets, but would likely be fine with other calm and friendly pets in the home. He is healthy and would make a wonderful, low-maintenance animal companion.

If you are interested in adopting either of these pets, please click here to download and complete our Adoption Application and email it to Liz.Raganella@pawsny.org. We’re hoping to find them fur-ever homes in the NYC area.

April

Lucky

Lucky is a male tuxedo cat, neutered, and 10 years old. April is a female Domestic Short Hair, neutered, and 8 years old. Both are up to date on shots with no health issues.

 

Lucky and April are nervous around new people and it will take them both a while to feel comfortable in a new environment so we are looking for a relatively quiet home with no other pets or young children. They like to have safe places to hide around the apartment and are usually together.

These gentle souls have slowly been getting more comfortable in their foster home and coming out to interact with their foster mom so we need someone who can continue to show them patience and love.

If you’re interested in adopting Lucky and April, please send a completed Adoption Application to Program Manager Cristina Nieves Quinn at Cristina.Quinn@pawsny.org.

Janeau is a mellow 13-year-old neutered, medium-hair cat whose favorite pastime is lounging in his cat tree! At the beginning of the summer, Janeau’s guardian sadly passed away, and we’re looking for a fur-ever home for this paws-itively sweet senior cat!

For many years, Janeau lived with a dog, but the two didn’t bond too much, and in his foster home, Janeau has shown signs of wanting to maintain boundaries when it comes to the other two cats in the home. We think a home with a very low-key dog or no other pets would be best for him.

Currently in good health, Janeau had thyroid removal surgery about a year and a half ago that eliminated most of his health challenges, and recent blood work showed his levels are looking good. He is on prescription food that helps to keep him on the right track!

Janeau’s guardian told PAWS NY many times that she considered her pets her children and that she would do anything for them. While she was in the hospital, she asked PAWS to make sure to find Janeau and his dog sister a great home in the case that she passed away, and we said that we would. We’re so grateful to our wonderful foster volunteer who has been providing foster care for her cat, Janeau, and are now ready to find him a forever home!

From Janeau’s Foster:

“Janeau has really blossomed over the past two months and grows more playful, loving, and interactive every day! He is a big guy (close to 20lbs) but is gentle and timid. Handsome Janeau takes very good care of his grooming, his toilet habits, and has a healthy appetite for his special ‘kidney-friendly’ diet.

He is a well-mannered companion who loves being spoken to, enjoys a brush, tolerates the occasional snuggle, and engages in short play sessions in between his naps. Patience and calm would be key with him – he is worth it. He is definitely a special fella.”

If you’d like to adopt Janeau, please reach out to Liz.Raganella@pawsny.org to complete an adoption application.

This senior cat had a lonely year and we need your help to give him a safe, loving home to live out his golden years! 

A 13-year-old, neutered, short hair cat, Sparrow has lived with his guardian for his whole life. Although he and his cat-mom had a good relationship, he can get scared and hide around new people. Our client always said he is a sweet soul who just needs time to get to know someone. 

Sparrow has been predominantly alone since the fall, aside from the few people who cared for him throughout the week. His guardian has been in the hospital and rehabilitation facilities, and will not be able to come back home. Therefore, she made the hard decision to surrender Sparrow for adoption. 

Sparrow will need a quiet, safe place to acclimate to being around people again. PAWS NY is looking for a foster home with no other pets that can show him plenty of patience and love while we find his new forever home.

Anyone interested in foster or adoption, please email us at Cristina.Quinn@pawsny.org. Can’t help now but looking to provide support in another way? Consider donating to PAWS NY today!

Midnight

This senior chihuahua entered our program in October 2019, but sadly, in January 2020, his guardian passed away. PAWS NY coordinated foster care while we tried to find the perfect home for Midnight to live out his golden years.  

In the end, Midnight spent a total of 197 days in foster care, transferring from volunteer to volunteer a few times. PAWS NY was able to provide him with basic veterinary care, but one of his fosters paid for Midnight to get badly needed dental care worth over $1,000, an incredibly generous gift!  

We’re now happy to share that one of Midnight’s foster moms decided that he should join her family permanently and finalized the adoption last month. Midnight will spend his time basking in the sun in the backyard and shadowing his foster mom’s grandmother everywhere she goes. What a happy ending!

Inky & Joy

You may remember that earlier this year, we were looking for a fur-ever home for Inky and Joy, a bonded pair of black cats, after their guardian passed away. 

Ashley, one of their weekly volunteers, had been helping their guardian care for Inky and Joy since 2016 and immediately stepped in to foster both kitties. While fostering and giving both cats the time they needed to adjust to a new situation, Ashley saw how well they fit into her existing cat pack as the weeks went on. 

We’re thrilled to tell you that Ashley officially adopted Inky and Joy and they have been bonding with their new siblings over paper bags, naps, and lots of stretching. Thanks for everyone who helped spread the word about these two and congrats on their fur-ever home.

The post Adoption Updates: Midnight and Inky & Joy appeared first on Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS) NY.

Shy but very sweet, Baby had a recent vet exam, where she received a clean bill of health and all her shots. Baby also got a bit of a haircut to shave off some matted fur (see her “after” pic), so will be rocking a unique look while her hair grows back in.

One of our wonderful volunteers has been fostering Baby and her sister for several months and gotten to know them well. She has noticed that they both seem more comfortable when separated, so we are looking for a home for Baby with no other pets. We hope that in a new environment, Baby can thrive and be herself.

Baby’s current foster has noticed that when she is on her own, Baby is more outgoing and comes out to play and snuggle: “If you’re in bed, she’ll come headbutt you until you give her pets and scritches.”

If you’re interested in snuggling with this sweet cutie, email Liz.Raganella@pawsny.org to fill out an adoption application!

We are looking for a home that can adopt both Inky & Joy, and help them heal together. We’re positive that with consistency and love, they will grow comfortable in their new home.

More about Inky:

? 12 years old male
? Neutered Black Domestic Shorthair
? As an older kitty, Inky is more mature and settled. 

More about Joy:

? 2 years old female
? Spayed Black Domestic Shorthair
? Joy may be skittish around new people in the beginning, but warms up with time.

Neither cat has interacted with dogs, but are good with other cats. Both cats are healthy and litter trained with no behavioral issues reported.
