MEET SAMANTHA
Meet Sammy -- she isn't just beautiful mainecoon mix -- she's very sweet and longing for a home. Sammy was adopted as a Cause 4 Paws foster kitten when she was just a baby. She had a wonderful home for quite some time, but a death in the family caused some unfortunate changes and Sammy was adopted by a neighbor. The 4 children were a little too much for Sammy, who had been used to a quiet household. The new family decided she should just live outside. Sammy was very lonely and her gorgeous long fur became matted and dirty. We got a call telling us about the situation and we took Sammy back into foster care. Sammy is so happy to have attention again! She recently went to a groomer and was shampooed and had all of her mats cut out. You can see her sporting the groomer's bandana in the photos. Sammy is about 4 1/2 years old -- spayed, up-to-date with all vaccinations and felv/fiv negative. Sammy would thrive in a quiet family with not too many other pets and not too many active toddlers. She loves attention and will be a great companion. Please contact Diane to meet Sammy: c4pcats@aol.com or (908) 377-4579.

Thanks to the Girl Scouts of Troop 163. These great young ladies have been helping Cause 4 Paws for several months now. They have assisted with adoption events, made original pamphlets for publicity, designed and made cat toys, and hosted a "movie night" for the benefit of the Cause 4 Paws kitties. The Cause 4 Paws volunteers want to thank them for all of their generosity and hard work!
Rowdy Time
Rowdy was rescued from a street in North Arlington, NJ. A very nice man took him and his 3 siblings in and cared for them. He was able to find homes for all but poor Rowdy. So, Rowdy ended up in foster care with Cause 4 Paws. He loved playing with the other foster kitties and getting love from his foster mom, but it wasn't the same as having his own family. Thankfully, Rowdy's turn came when a family saw his picture and description on Petfinder. They came to one of our adoption events to meet him and decided he would fit well into their family.
This is what his new mom had to say
about him several weeks later:
"Rowdy, now known as Charlie, is doing wonderfully. The first 48 hours
or so were an adjustment (I think he missed his kitten friends), but
he's settled in nicely. We adore him. He may be the most patient and
gentle cat I've ever met. My younger son picks him up and carries him
around like a baby and Charlie seems to love it (or at least never
lashes out at my son for disturbing him!). He's not freaked out by the
high activity (and sometimes noise!) level either. Charlie has settled
into our rhythms and routines, and takes a turn cuddling with everyone
when they each go to bed. He is a love and we're so happy and lucky to
have him as a part of our family."
Harold's Story
Harold was one of two tiny gray
kittens that Cause 4 Paws rescued from a shelter in Bowling Green, KY,
just in the nick of time... He stayed in foster care until a wonderful
family saw his write up on our website and decided that Harold was the
kitty for them. Harold's foster mom brought him to meet the family and
it was love at first sight. We recently received a heart-warming email
telling us how fabulous Harold (now Derby!) is and how much they love
him. This is what makes fostering worthwhile!
" I will never forget when you took the kitten out of his crate and
showed him to me, he reached out and patted my cheek. I didn't know then
that it would be the first of hundreds of times he'd do that to me! It
is just one of his unique traits, he loves to pet your face. The petting
is closely followed by the rubbing of his cheek on your's. He is so
openly affectionate! He loves receiving affection as well. His favorite
is to be kissed on the forehead. He "grunts" audibly with pleasure, when
you do that to him...Whenever I think about how close he came to being
euthanized at the KY shelter, I shudder! If it weren't for the efforts
of your rescue group, this wonderful little cat, so full of life, would
never have graced our lives and brought us what I hope is many years of
joy! No one would have ever had the chance to know him, and there is
soooo much to know about him! I'm so grateful that he was saved and made
his way to us! I'm not just saying this, but when my heart is so full bc
Derby is rubbing my face and purring, I DO think of you and how your
sacrifices made this possible for our family! After the extreme sadness
of losing my two beloved cats (Sam's buddies) in a span of 6 weeks in
the fall of 2008, Derby and Charlie were the ultimate salve on our
wounds. We hope they have long long lives with us, and when their time
is over, we will adopt more rescue cats!"
Time for Tabby
Blanche was rescued from a kill
shelter and brought into foster care. She and her sister Sophie were as
sweet as could be, but poor Blanche got apprehensive in new situations,
so she never captured anyone's heart at our adoption events. So, her
sister Sophie was adopted immediately, while Blanche waited...
Then the perfect home came along and Blanche (now Tabby) gets to live
happily ever after in a wonderful new home. This is what Tabby's new mom
has to say about her:
"Tabby is a delight! She is even learning how to type.
She loves the sound the laptop makes when she hits the keys!
MacGregor is still not sure about her but they are being civil to each
other.
Still moaning and groaning and some hissing but no fights. I am
exhausted
from giving them each extra attention all the time so they both feel
they are the
most important.
I had forgotten how much fun a kitten is. She is growing quickly and I
suspect will be
a big girl.
Thank you again for making this such a pleasant experience."
Thank you Martha, for giving this little kitty a loving home to call her
own!
Brody's New Home
This strikingly handsome boy came to Cause 4 Paws as one of a litter of 4 stray kitties that were found in a backyard in Perth Amboy, NJ. They were lucky enough to be rescued by a kind woman who brought them into her garage to keep them safe and then called us. Brody, then called "Floyd", was lucky enough to find the perfect home very quickly. Here is what Brody's new family has to say about him:
He
truly is a joy to love. He always wants to be where we are...when we eat
dinner, he hops up on an empty chair..peeks his head up and watches us
eat for a few minutes and then curls up on the chair til we're done. If
we are in our office/weight room...he likes to lay on my lap on a pillow
while I'm on the computer. He loves his toys and even plays fetch with
his mice and his favorite..the chirping bird. Brody is not only
affectionate and handsome, he's packed with personality. We love him so.
Thanks again for such a wonderful experience we've had with Cause 4
Paws. You may think Brody is the lucky one but we know that WE are the
lucky ones, to provide a forever home to such a special furry bundle of
joy! We wish that each and every kitty could be as lucky as Brody! A
huge thank you to Brody's new family for giving him the best home we
could have ever imagined.
Jasper's New Home and New Best Bud!
Jasper has made himself at home with his new best bud, a shepard mix, Andy. While Andy may be 10 years old, Jasper keeps him young at heart by chasing his tail and stealing his ball.
Chase's Wonderful New Life!
"Here are some more
recent pics of the 'mountain lion' I adopted from you.....lol.
He's been doing really well.... He's at 10lbs 10oz now and still not
fat, you can see how big he is next to my 55lb pitbull/shep mix Sammy.
Chase sleeps with Sammy all of the time.... "

Amazing feline fact #4:
If your cat is near you, and her tail is quivering, this is the greatest expression of love your cat can give you. If her tail starts thrashing, her mood has changed --- Time to distance yourself from her.
Did You Know?
During her
productive life, one female cat could have more than 100 kittens

While we do not have a central facility for our foster animals, we still welcome you to come visit us. Our volunteers are at local pet stores in Madison and East Hanover on most Saturdays and at other various locations throughout the year - check the webpage for a list of places. We are also more than happy to have interested adopters or those thinking about volunteering to come to our foster homes to see our rescued kitties.

Cause 4 Paws, Inc. is a small, all-volunteer feline rescue group. We have been in existence for almost 10 years, and have already found homes for over 1,800 orphaned cats.
We rescue cats and kittens from local neighborhoods and area shelters that would otherwise be euthanized. Because we have only 4 foster homes, we are limited in the number of cats that we can take in at a given time, and are always looking for new foster homes so that we can increase our numbers.
We offer assistance with low cost spaying and neutering and also provide help to people that are interested in trapping, spaying, neutering, releasing feral cats.
Cause 4 Paws, Inc. volunteers can be found just about every weekend at pet stores in Madison and East Hanover showing the foster cats that are looking for homes. We also welcome potential adopters to our homes to see foster cats at other times.
Please give us a call or send us an email to find out more about our group, to ask about a cat, or to become a volunteer! Diane: (908)377-4759 (email: C4pcats@aol.com) or Christine: (908)687-4227(email: cmwagner58@comcast.net).
