PAAW’s foster homes are brimming with cats and kittens of every color, age and personality just waiting for a loving home. Whether you prefer young and frisky or mature and mellow, you’re sure to find the perfect cat companion during Adopt-A-Cat Month!

Come browse our Petfinder or PetTango adoption pages to see all the kittens and cats we have available for adoption.

Walk for the animals on Sat., Nov. 14, at the River Ranch in Lafayette, LA.
