Mommy visited PAWS Chicago last week for a pre-race pawsta party for the PAWS charity runners. Mommy ran the Rock-n-Roll Chicago Half Marathon for them and she is running the Chicago Marathon in October. I am Mommy’s doggie publicist. You can donate for her cause here.
While at PAWS, Mommy visited with some homeless doggies and kitties. Here is a little doggie who got neutered like I did, so he is wearing a cone while he waits for a home. PAWS also has a low income spay/ neuter program and feral cat spay and release program.
Here is one of the kitty rooms. PAWS has very nice rooms for their kitties while they wait for homes. Their whole facility is cageless.
And here is Arrrgh the Pirate Cat. That isn’t really his name. It is just what Mommy would name him if Daddy would let us take him home, because he only has one eye like a pirate. But Daddy said no, we can’t have a pirate cat. Mommy says he better be adopted by the next pawsta party or he just might have to come live with us! Mommy really, really likes him.
Mommy enjoyed visiting PAWS and getting encouragement for her race!
I’ll post more about Mommy’s Half Marathon race later this week.
Ty, I gots a niece now!! My boy and his girlfriend are getting married this weekend, and they adopted a 2-year-old beagle mix and named her Annie. I haven’t met her yet but her pictures are real cute. They think she may be part wiener dog, too, because she’s kind of long and skinny.
Your daddy is right about the cat, though. Cats are evil. Maybe if your mommy really wants a cat, we could send Thunderpaws to her. That’s what we call him because he’s so fat, the whole house shakes when we moves. Except he doesn’t move very often because he gets tired because he’s so fat.
That looks like a first-class facility! I think the Pirate Kitty looks adorable. You would enjoy having a cat pal!
That PAWS place looks very nice. I visited a similar cat sanctuary that was also cage called Caroline’s Kids Pet Rescue. Here is a link to the video I took of my visit there:

Arrrgh looks very much like the cat my mom used to share with her estranger…they had to put him to sleep just the other day. They’re very sad about it and miss Tuppence very much. Mostly Siamese with some other tabbyness…eyes as crossed as they come. Such a sweet, peaceful dude…
I like the Pirate Cat too. I would like him to be my grandkitty!
You could have such grand adventures with a pirate cat!
