We lost our older kitty and really couldn't imagine our house without a cat. My teenage kids and I visited Bainbridge PAWS and enjoyed all the kitties there, but then we went to Kingston. We held and pet half a dozen different kitties. The last one we looked at was a 1-1/2 year old female who is what my son calls a Calitort (she's a mess of color). We loved her instantly and brought her home. Her name at PAWS was Purrdy, but we call her Zoe. She is a wonderful kitty -- more kitten than cat. Grateful to have her in our home. She loves all of us, even the dog.

PALS program – Snoodles

"I want to thank you so much for the help from PAWS in paying some of our vet bill. We were so shocked when the injury to our doggie, Snoodles, turned out to be so major with the loss of her eye. Not only was the severity upsetting, we just didn't know how we were going to pay the vet bill from Social Security. We are stretched to the limit helping to raise our 2 grandchildren who spend a lot of time with us and their single dad. Snoodles is doing great although she hates the "halo" collar and does not like being cooped up in the house, she would much rather be out in the yard with the grandkids. Thank you again. We so appreciate all your help!"

I adopted my kitten from PAWS, and it was a wonderful experience. It was obvious to me how much the staff cared for the animals. They were well educated and answered all of my questions. I left feeling knowledgable and confident about giving the proper care and love to my new baby, Juniper.

Our family adopted a very lovely 11 year old cat named Owlsen, He quickly became a beloved member of our household. He is spry and unique and at ease. He needed a little care with mite treatment in his ears, but I have come to expect that shelter environments can only be so diligent with so many animals passing through. I was happy to bring him home and get him the attention he needed. I knew within minutes that he was the cat for me.

People overlook older animals sometimes, but it is quite a blessing to take home an animal, who knows himself, has manners, and a solid personality. I'm very greatful to PAWS for accepting him from his previous owner, who was unable to keep him so that we had that time to find each other.

A great organization for lost and found pets. We found a starving little dog and were able to post her pic and general information quickly and easily. She had no tags, no chip and no family looking for her. With the help of the Kitsap Humane Society a forever home was found for her in less than a week. Thanks to everyone who helped to save this loving little dog!

Vet Assist – Sally

I want to thank you very much for the assistance I received for my cat Sally. I wouldn't have been able to take her to the vet without it. She had a strange growth on her ear, which turned out to be cancer, much like when we humans get skin cancer. The vet removed it and that took care of it. I am very happy to say she is feeling much better.

Kitsap Lost Pets – Cat

I am happy to report that I found my cat after two weeks; he was trapped in a basement storage locker in our neighborhood. Thirsty and freaked, he's home and wanting to go outside. Think I'll keep him in for awhile until he becomes more settled. Thank you for your help, the ability to post on your webpage gave me a great feeling of doing something and involving others who might be able to help.

"The dog we found was reunited with its owners and has been to the vet for care. Thanks for your site, it saved Baxter from sure starvation, as he was trapped and lost on the Keyport base. We saw him on the other side of the fence and then found the owners on Kitsaplostpets.org! They were reunited a few days later. Thank you!!”

Vet Assist – Michael

Thank you for following up on Michael's dog! The help you gave him and his pet was so much more than you think. He was so nervous coming in and asking for help and you set him right at ease. Michael is homeless and his dog is all he has. We keep an eye out for him but life is not easy for him. We took his dog to the vet you chose (Tender Touch). They were fantastic, they gave him medicine and shampoo and his dog is doing so well. He tells all about your kindness and will be forever grateful for all the help he was given. Your service is so needed in this area! I also thank you for your help to my friend and his beloved pet.

Vet-Assist – Callie and Oddie

Thank you for the $75. It helped with getting Prednisone shots for my cats when they had breathing problems from the mold in our apartment. They are breathing better and we are able to proceed with our plans to move to a safer place. Callie and Oddie help me when my PTSD flares up and I would be lost without them!

Vet Assist – Bud

I was in the Navy overseas for four years. Now pretty much all my money goes to my college expenses, along with some help from my dad. My dog, Bud, is my best friend -- everybody loves him and he's just a big "people dog" who follows me everywhere. When I found out he had a fungal infection in his lungs, and would need medication for 7 months, I was like "whoa" when I found out the cost. Thank God for PAWS because, honestly, it would be devastating to lose him. I hope people realize that by helping out this fund they're not just helping an animal. It's so much more than that.

"Thank you so much for your help in getting Speedy spayed. When my father went into a nursing home I wanted to do the right thing and give his cat a home, but the cost of having her spayed was just too much for our budget. Thanks to PAWS, Speedy has become a great addition to our family, and I can bring stories and pictures of her when I visit my Dad."

Spay-Neuter Program – Hazel

I just wanted to extend my gratitude for your wonderful and generous donation to our puppy, Hazel, whose recent spaying you paid in full. I never thought I'd be in a position to have to ask for assistance, but unfortunately, my business is down to levels I never dreamed it would fall. Add to it, Hazel got hit by a car a month prior, and thankfully will recover from a broken hind leg. But the cost will take years to pay off at this rate. (To think, I almost bought insurance.) And so it is your gesture of help that means so much, I'm grateful beyond words.

Kitsap Lost Pets – Nikki

On November 3, I posted a lost dog notice on KitsapLostPets. A man saw the notice and I was reunited with my dog. Had I not had this connection to your web site, chances are I would have never seen my dog again. The nice man told me he was leaving for his home in Chelan the next morning and he was going to take the dog with him. God bless you!

"I was in the PALS program with my kitty, Trixie. She needed kidney diet food, and they supplied it through the vet. And, after 3 years of that, when she finally failed, at age 18, PAWS helped with her euthanasia so she did not have to suffer. I miss her, and so I'm glad of those extra 3 years we had.”

My life would be so empty without them.”
