Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton
ID No.: A788737
Age: 3 years
Story: Paris Hilton is one of PACC's longest residents, and she has earned the love of volunteers and staff alike during her time at the shelter. This big gal can be shy at first, but she gets the best wiggles when she sees her favorite people and absolutely blossoms outside of her kennel, where she enjoys walks, play time (especially in the snow!), and tennis balls. She's also partial to a good treat! Paris has been playful with other dogs at the shelter and would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure it's a good fit.

Simone
Simone
Age: 6 months
Story: Simone is a tiny tabby girl with a shy side. She was found in the desert with her siblings when Paws Patrol came to their rescue. Her brother and sister were adopted but Simone is still looking for her forever home. She didn't have a lot of contact with humans until she went to live with her wonderful foster family. They have been so kind and patient with this young tabby. It took a while but now she loves being pet, belly rubs are her favorite but don't forget to scratch Simone’s cheeks too! She’s still getting used to humans so a quiet home would be best for her and another kitty for playtime. If you are an experienced, cat savvy human, Simone really needs you. Once she has bonded with you, she will purr, coo, and bring you years of love in return.
Fee: $75 for Simone. Adoption fees for Paws Patrol cats are $75 for a single cat or $125 for a pair. Adoption qualifications required. Includes microchip, neutering and current shots.

Gizmo
Gizmo
Age: 2-4 Months
Story: Gizmo is a cute little kitten who loves to share. That's because he helps everyone else eat their meal before he starts his. His foster family has been so kind and they think Gizmo may be the best boy ever. They call him the milestone kitten because he was the first one of his siblings to make it to the top of the scratching post and the top of a cardboard wall. Gizmo loves to play with toy mice, they keep him busy for hours while he tumbles around and tosses them in the air. He also loves to play with his brothers and sister too. Maybe one of those kittens can be adopted with Gizmo? This litter will be available for adoption by late June.
Fee: $75 for Gizmo. Adoption fees for Paws Patrol cats are $75 for a single cat or $125 for a pair. Adoption qualifications required. Includes microchip, neutering and current shots.
