Jasper

We adopted Jasper at the adoption event June 2023. He was scared and had bad matting which we got him shaved, and he opened up to us. Fast forward to now he is a lovable, playful little fellow who loves…

Oaklie now Daisy

I adopted Daisy in September of 2022. She was a six week old black and white tuxedo cat I guess they call her. She came home and she was like I was told cats would be. She stayed in the…

Sesame now Chance

I adopted Chance in July of 2022. I should say he chose me. He has such a funny personality-he is quite vocal at 5am. Really he is adorable and a complete joy.

Lenore and Tex

Tex (adopted July 2022) and Lenore (adopted August 2021) are an absolute delight. Lenore and I lost our first kitty friend, Poe (adopted October 2020) after an unknown illness swept through him very quickly in the Spring of 2022. While…

Handsome now BUDDY2

Three years ago today I adopted BUDDY2, and he has brought so much love and joy! Here he is with his “celebration” cake and a happy face! Thank you to the Staff at AWS for the love and care you…

Bindi Sue now Mitzy Spark Clawzilla

Misty

Misty was our second cat of the bunch, and this poor baby was surrendered. We met her in April of 2020 and were told she wasn’t cuddly or loving. We took her home anyway and at first she was hesitant.…

Fluff now Flora

Flora joined our family about two years ago and has brought immense joy, comfort, and affection to us since then! The day that I came into AWS, the member I met with mentioned that this blue-eyed beauty was very, very…

Fitz

An orange kitten sits on the chest of his new owner as one of our Happy Homes stories.

I just wanted to reach out with an update on Fitz! He has had an AMAZING two weeks in his new home; meeting his new family and (after a very long and slow introduction process) playing with his brother! Fitz is…

Sesame now Chance

I adopted Sesame (now Chance) back in July 2022. He is such a snuggle bug and quite vocal. You folks do an amazing job and I always recommend friends to adopt from you if they are looking. I drove 2…

Zach now Theodore

A cat curled up on the couch in their home.

I adopted Theodore 2 years after the passing of my male cat, Benny. He has been a very entertaining addition for me and my senior cat, Lilly, to watch. Constantly running around, playing with his toys, and getting into mischief!

Sesame now Chance

My golden had passed and it was time for a new pet. This time we decided on a kitten! Chance is such a snuggle bug and a feisty biter (LOL). He has truly made us happy!

Wisteria now Luna

A grey cat lays sleeping on a striped chair in her home.

(Written by Braydon age 11) My Dad and I volunteer at AWS every Saturday morning and do cat socialization. We came across a cat named Wisteria and pet her a lot one day. We both loved her right away. We…
