This Week's Pets: Calm Clyde and Tame Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell and Clyde are furry balls of calm. If you're looking for a lap cat that'll love you forever, these are the guys for you.

Since it's beginning, Adopt Me has often featured energetic dogs and playful cats. This week, Patch brings a pair of feline friends who are content with sitting on a lap. Would you like a pet who won't need much attention? Tinkerbell is an orange tabby cat who is 5-6 years old. She gets along without other pets but will probably do best in a home without any other cats, according to the good people at PAWS Animal Shelter in Tinley Park. Clyde is a 2-year-old domestic short hair whose favorite thing in the world is a good brushing. Both cats are ready for a new home. Get News Alerts and Facebook Updates From These Patch Sites:

This Week's Pets: Spirited Kittens Ready to Play

Mittens and Spencer are about a week away from being ready to adopt out in Tinley Park.

What's better than a kitten? How about two? A pair of 4-month-old kittens were recently dropped off at PAWS Animal Shelter in Tinley Park. Mittens and Spencer are about a week away from being ready for adoption. The wonderful people at the shelter need to arrange for a final shot for the black-haired cats before they can go out to a new home. The cats came to PAWS after the previous owner gave them up due to allergies. Both like to play and, as you might expect for young cats, are energetic. Spencer, especially, likes to chase balls around. Potential adopters don't need to take the pair together; the kittens are young enough to adopt separately.

This Week's Pets: Young Cats Want New Friends

Lucy Lou and Stosh are waiting at PAWS Animal Shelter for new homes.

Two cute and cuddly cats from PAWS Animal Shelter in Tinley Park are ready for a new place to live. Lucy Lou is a 3-year-old domestic short hair cat. She was a stray and still has her claws but is known around the shelter for being a lap cat. Lucy's inclination is to find a place to hide and will probably find her way into an open box. Her playful personality will mesh well with a new owner. Stosh, a 4-year-old domestic short hair, is one of the most easy-going cats you'll meet. He's great with children and is very playful. Stosh also has his front paws declawed. Pets with new homes Here are some success stories from PAWS: Want News Headlines and Updates Delivered to Your Inbox?

It is a good thing I don't live alone (and that my landlord has a two-cat limit) because my place would have a cat for every room. But I do wish I could take Snuggle home...   more ›
