She is curious, playful & has enough energy to keep up with your outdoor adventures, but digs snuggling up on the couch just as much!

Molly is a true blue kinda gal — once she falls for you, she’s in for life.

Her ideal home has easy outdoor access & will work with her to engage her curiosity ✨

She has so much love to give & forms the most beautiful bonds with her people.

Dreaming of a calm, loving companion to share the couch (and your heart) with? Enya’s your girl.

💛 Email [email protected] or [email protected] (her current foster) to learn more about this sweet angel.

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 23h

Like many seniors, she has a few manageable conditions — chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism & arthritis — but she’s feeling great with daily care 💪

And to make sure her next chapter starts off strong, PAWS will send her home with 3 months’ worth of medication & a supply of her special diet.

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 23h

She’s happiest when she’s with her people, snoozing, purring & reminding you love really is all we need (in addition to a cozy blanket, of course).

Enya may be in her golden years, but she’s living them to the fullest 💜

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 23h

❣️ Warning: Adopting Enya may result in excessive snuggling & reduced productivity!

At 16 years young, this golden girl has perfected the art of affection.

Friendly, outgoing & irresistibly sweet, Enya is the kind of cat who’ll climb into your lap the moment you sit down and stay there for hours 🧵

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 2d

He adores people, he loves to snuggle on couches & laps & he even enjoys tummy rubs.

His dream would be a low-stress home where his people are around most of the day so he can follow you around like a little shadow 💜

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 2d

He’s also deeply committed to his long-term relationship with a rundown stuffed beaver 😂

You’ll often find Pizza stationed at a window, keeping tabs on birds, squirrels, trucks & the occasional street drama — but his very favorite thing in the world is spending time with you!

PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) @phillypaws.bsky.social · 2d

Pizza's fav activities:

🩷 Hogging the fluffiest blankets

💨 Sprinting down hallways

💧 Sipping straight from the tap

⛄️ Staging dramatic battles with his sworn enemy — a stuffed snowman
