    A dumb thing I made. I made it look like Yoshi is playing volleyball.

    Amazing place. Me and my family found the PERFECT cat there! His name is Yoshi. They always have beautiful cats and kittens. I highly recommend going here.

    We've adopted our little Luna after we lost our cat Coco from illness. Luna came from Paws Cat City, and she is the most amazing girl. Paws cat city was wonderful while we were there, and let us met all the kitty

    Got our second cat from PAWS City. Such a nice guy. The staff were great, gave us lots of information about him. Easy adoption process.

    We adopted our kitty from PAWS three months ago and so happy that we did! It is the best thing happened during this quarantine. The adoption process was easy. We had to submit a questionnaire online and schedule a 30 minute visit to meet the kitty in person. And then when we decided to bring her home, PAWS took care of everything. I appreciated that kitty was spayed and vaccinated up to date and get an adoption paperwork with medical record and other infos. You also get a generous coupon you can use at mudbay for food and litter :) We are looking to adopt another kitty from PAWS anytime soon and I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a kitty friend!

    The day before we paid a visit to paws, my husband and I drove around to literally every single animal shelter in the area looking for a kitten to adopt. We even hit up a hole in the wall adoption center in the back of a petco- two times a cat that we had been interested in meeting had been adopted literally right as we walked through the door. I'm glad that there's a high turn over around here but damn! At the end of the long night my husband calls PAWS and the nice lady who answers the phone tells us that they have some kittens that will be available to adopt the next day who weren't listed on the website yet, and told us to keep an eye on the website in the mean time. So the next day when I get off of work, the first thing we do is drive over to meet the little babies and see if any of them are a good fit. We arrive an hour after the rescue opens and ALL of the new kittens are already either gone or spoken for except for one! We meet the gentleman who was fostering the kittens along with their mother (he works at the rescue) and he was the nicest, most caring guy to the animals. I could honestly tell that he cared deeply about the homes that the cats were going to and were going to miss them- he told us stories about the personalities of all the cats and in the 6 weeks that he had them it was obvious that he bonded with them and was sad to see them go. It's amazing to find a pet rescue with employees who actually care about the animals because again, we had been to every single one in the area and only here and one other place met that criteria. The majority of other pet rescues and adoption centers we visited weren't nearly as clean, nor were the staff as attentive and interested in the well-being of the animals themselves or where they'd be going. We were introduced to little sammie and really lucked out, she's such a good girl! The play area was very clean (as was the entire facility) and the cats all had plenty of room to hang out and play. There were a few sick cats (not achoo sick, feline leukemia sick) that were in their own room and needed single cat homes but they seemed well taken care of and happy to be there as well. We knew immediately that we would be taking her home so after we visited we filled out the paperwork, paid the reasonably priced fee and brought her home. It was an easy process and exactly two months later she is still healthy and thriving. She likes doing yoga with me, riding around in her cat-stroller and collecting corn dog sticks under the couch. I can't say enough good things about this place!

    I'm so glad I found this place! I recently adopted a kitty friend from PAWS Cat City and the staff was so friendly and made it all so easy for me. The thing I love about this place is that unlike most shelters, they don't require you to be ready to adopt same-day, and they'll let you take your time and get to know the cats before you make that decision (you can also just go in to spend time with them regardless of if you're adopting or not). Of course, they can't guarantee that the cat you like will still be available if you choose to wait, but that's because their purpose is to find good homes for the cats as soon as they can, and if you need a little time to consider, there's a 24 hour hold option. The facility is pretty spacious and feels more like an apartment for the cats than it does a shelter, and that makes it a lot easier to meet the cats and get to know them. The place itself is clean and their prices for adoption and supplies are competitive and fair. Overall a great place.

    I've adopted two kitties from PAWS Cat City. My first kitty I adopted was nicknamed Blaze and was a senior kitty who was all black. I renamed him Hiro Kitty because he was a dude and instead of Hello Kitty, I named him Hiro Kitty (aka Fatty). He LOVED being the only kitty and chirped to me often. He liked to be outside and was such a sweet kitty. I adopted him when he was 12 years old and had him up until this October. I loved him very much but recently passed away to greener pastures. My second kitty I adopted is with me today. He was nicknamed Chase but I've renamed him Meoshawn Lynch after my favorite Seahawks player Marshawn Lynch. Meowshawn is also a black kitty with a bit of white fur. He's 3 years old. Very athletic and LOUD. But the best companion second to Hiro, of course. The volunteers are really knowledgeable and kind. They know their favorite kitties and have always been fun to work with. LOVE PAWS!

    We can't say enough about Cat City and PAWS! We've been involved with PAWS for many years, but had never had the need to adopt a cat until now. Our last cat died several years ago, and we hadn't decided whether or not we could go through losing another one. But, if you're "cat people", life isn't complete without at least one on your lap. So we checked the Cat City website, and saw Barney and Fred there. They are litter-mates, and needed to be adopted together. Lucky for us, we wanted two cats, and they filled the bill. They were almost one year old, but definitely still kittens, so they told us they'd be happy with us, and we brought them home. They are more entertaining than any movie or TV show, especially in this time of sheltering at home. PAWS is unique in so many ways, from their wildlife rescue and care facility to the dog and cat adoption side of it. There is truly no place like it! We're so grateful to the staff who lovingly cared for our boys until we found them...

    Love this place. I was really jittery about adopting my own cat for the first time, so I bounced from cat room to cat room for about two hours and the volunteers were totally patient. I never felt rushed (well, until they came to tell me there was only 5 min left until they closed for adoptions, which I had known was coming and was on me for losing track of time). There were a bunch of cats that I was really liked, so it was more just a matter of being able narrow it down and positive gut feelings. In the end I took home my new BFF Lulu, now rechristened Sushi, and walking all over my keyboard as I write this. With their adoption materials, I was able to take her to the vet for a checkup for free, had a list of all her medical history, free food and litter from Mudbay, free 45 days of pet insurance...it was great. Protip: I found it really helpful to spend some time on their website the night before I came in, it lists all the cats currently available for adoption, so I narrowed it down a little in advance and came in with a mental list of cats I knew I wanted to meet. They can also hold a cat for 24 hours if you need to sleep on a decision. The only negative for me was just that it was a bit stressful since other people were coming in and adopting cats left and right much faster than I had anticipated while I was looking, so just be ready for that. But that's not PAWS fault, plus it's good to know that cats are finding new homes so quickly.

Sadly, we come here almost every week just for the bones and ice cream. I still cook all his meals at home! So what's the best part about this spot besides the happy puppies? You can park downstairs in the village or up here in the smaller lot. It's a smaller store but they have the essentials that we always get: goat milk gelato, bacon and chedder swell's puppy ice cream, peanut butter ice cream! The smoked bones, Icelandic fish skin, the bully sticks, the chewy yak chews and the occasional little treats from their treat bar: we got the tub! You get discount per pound with the tub. He doesn't like them as much since they are mostly flavored with grains so we get a handful sometimes. But beef jerky, taffy, bbq smoked bones! Can't go wrong with them. Baci loves this place and so do I!

I had to quickly pick up one item for my dog and, as is the case with most businesses I go to, I was hoping to pull in my bike for a quick second - It's not like this store doesn't have any room to allow a person to put a bike up for two or three minutes. However, Even before I was able to get the door open, some blond chick in the store screeched at me: "no bikes in the store!" Clearly that is store policy, but the way she did it made it so that I don't ever care to go to this place again. I don't have a car so it's hard for me to get around, but I guarantee that I will go out of my way to avoid this store again because of the negativity I received today. Sure, they don't allow bikes in the store, but she could've walked up to me and politely asked me if I would park the bike outside and the policy is to not allow bikes in the store. Instead, she screeched at me from her counter across the store. That is really embarrassing and shaming. Perhaps she's not being paid enough to try to be polite to customers, but you can guarantee that they will not see my face at that store again.

He is 5 now, and when he was just a tiny little guy, I was roaming the aisles and overwhelmed by the fact that there is SO MUCH that you can buy for your dog to snack on, but I thought 99% of it was junk (after scrutinizing the ingredients). While I like junk food myself, I monitor EVERYTHING that goes in his mouth since I want him to live a long, happy and healthy life. Enter Blue Dog Bakery treats! He's tried them all, and gives all a 4 paws up, but his absolute favorite is the "Softie", which I describe as a fig newton for dogs. It's shaped like one, there's nothing in it that a human could not eat (I'm allergic to peanut butter, otherwise I might try it), and it is nice and soft (thus the name, obviously). I think it was designed as a nice treat for older dogs, but it has evolved as his goodnight snack, and no matter what he is doing, when I say it is "time for night night", he will RUN TO HIS BED to get his Softie. Seriously, he loves it. Loves the Softie. Loves. Blue Dog does lots of nice things for the community, has a great monthly newsletter that you can have emailed to you, and best of all, you will know that your best 4-pawed friend is eating things that are healthy!
