Last week, July 19 – 25, was adoption week for PetSmart. We put cats and kittens in the cages and on the weekend had an adoption event at PetSmart in Central Park. During the week and weekend event we had 27 adoptions! Thanks to all our volunteers and our kitty’s new families.

"We have had a few calls from people worried their cats are in pain as they are exhibiting symptoms of yowling and other unusual behaviors (rubbing all over items). What these individuals are describing is their female cat having heat cycles which can occur in females as young as 4-months of age. Yowling, rubbing, raising the behind up in the air (lordosis reflex), spraying, the desire to go outside and find a mate...are all symptoms that can occur during a female cat's heat cycle. Sometimes females can appear more loving and other times females can have more aggressive tendencies during this cycle." ![]()

Remember that spaying a cat will eliminate these behaviors as well as help control the cat population. Please have your cat spayed by 4 months of age!![]()

Fundraiser for Inky
Inky is a sweet 1 year old girl who already had one litter of kittens and was on her way to a second when she had complications. A bowel blockage took the second litter of 6 babies and almost took her life too. Thanks to VVS in Charlottesville and surgeon Kevin Stiffler she has a chance to life a good long life. Help us pay her surgery bill.

Adopting a Cat During Social Distancing
Right now there are still restrictions on adoption events and keeping animals in stores so to compensate we have started using Petfinder.
Please use this link to see the available cats we have.
Cause 4 Paws’ PetFinder ID # is VA805 and the zip code to use for searching available cats is 22508.
When you have decided to adopt please download our adoption form, complete it, and send us an email through our Contact Us page. (We are working on automating our form).
Store Availability Update
We are now in three Petsmart‘s: Spotsylvania, Central Park, and Culpepper.
Come in and visit and find a new furry friend.

All We Need Is Love
The Good News and Bad News of Rescue
Every year we pray that kitten season will not bring us more than we can handle. This year has amazed everyone! The numbers of kittens needing our help seems endless. Every rescue group and shelter in our area, and beyond, is filled to overflowing. We are stretched to the maximum for people to foster and for the dollars we need to spend to get all of them healthy. This is the reason we are so adament about spaying and neutering all cats.
Your support has helped us rescue more cats and kittens this year than ever before. In 2018 we had 262 adoptions for the whole year. This year with 2 more months to go we are at 269! Wow! Thank YOU!
Currently we have 3 bottle babies that came to us in trouble. They all have damaged eyes. The good news is they are all eating well and growing. The bad news is they are all going to be blind or partially blind. Please pray for Peanut, Pecan and Cashew. These tiny ones were found in a storm drain. How their eyes got damaged is a mystery. All we know for sure is none of them will have normal vision. At least one kitten will need an eye removed.
Cats are amazing. They can have a very normal life with one eye. If they are totally blind they need more protection and help from us but they still can have a wonderful life. Thank you for helping Peanut, Pecan (passed away), & Cashew!
If you have the heart to help a cat with special needs live in a loving home, please let us know. These sweet babies will be up for adoption in a few months and will need special people like you to take care of them.
