Wow, what an amazing place!! I was having lunch nearby and could not resist going in after seeing the kittens in the window. There was a volunteer in the front room busy bottle feeding a litter of kittens but they were happy to take time to answer all my questions about the place. There were a couple other volunteers there too, busy also, cleaning and answering the phone that kept ringing. I was concerned that one of the cats looked sick, but when I asked about him, I learned that he had an injury to his eyes as a kitten that caused his tearducts not to work right anymore. Poor thing had a bad start in life apparently, but he was so sweet when I went to pet him. All the cats were so friendly!! The volunteers were quick to give me special instructions on a few of the cats that I tried to pet, letting me know a specific way that bothered them, to make sure that I didn't get scratched and the cat wasn't scared or made uncomfortable. Seemed like they knew the personalities and stories of each of the animals there. The place was really clean considering just how many animals they are taking care of there on a regular basis. I am definitely impressed. My house is full right now, but I will tell anyone I meet who is looking for a pet to go to PAWS Animal Shelter.
