Paws and Prayers Rescue Blog

It's Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month and when Paws & Prayers asked if they could feature me on their blog, I was flattered!  Why of course!  I'm not one to shy away from the spotlight.  And as you can see from my recent photo shoot, the camera just loves me!  Don't you agree?

At 8-9 years young, I'm a very confident, friendly and happy Pomeranian princess.  It's been said that I'm more independent than the average Pomeranian.  I guess I'm just not one to conform to the norm!

You may be inclined to think that with a name like Princess and classified as 'senior' I'm a typical pampered Pomeranian.  Well, yes, I do prefer my coat to stay clean and soft, ready for a good snuggle with you.  But I'm energetic and ready for a nice game of fetch just as much as the next pup.  If I get a little dirty, so be it!

I'm very upbeat and outgoing.  I make friends with just about everyone I meet.  I get along with everybody - other dogs and cats, too.

 I'm settling in with my foster family quite nicely and quickly, too!  In the morning I like to wake up and jump in bed with my foster family for some cuddle time.  Then as the day goes on you'll most likely find me sitting and observing the chaos in the house from the couch.  And when you reach for my leash for a walk, I get so excited I can hardly contain my fluffy self!  I do love a good, shorter walk in the neighborhood!  I trot as quickly as my little legs will carry me as the wind runs through my coat.  As evening settles in I'm ready to find a nice lap to curl up in.  By nighttime I'm ready for bed and love to settle into my crate for a good night's sleep.

It's me, Happy! Don't my quirky eyes add to my charm?!

It's Adopt a Senior Pet Month and what better way to celebrate than with me, Happy, Paws & Prayers most senior pet available for adoption right now, as the Pet of the Month!

I'm a mature, 9 years young.  Really, you wouldn't know my age without my file.  I'm active, affectionate and love your attention.  With my easy going attitude I know I'll make a great addition to your home and in return I promise a lifetime of love and friendship! 

Look how cute I am!

I've been at Paws & Prayers since mid-September.  My typical day starts off with a morning feeding and loving pets and attention from the Paws & Prayers staff and volunteers.  Then I go through the typical routine of grooming and settling in for a nap.  Then I start all over when dinner time rolls around.  I have toys to play with and blankets to cuddle in.  But my cage is too small to really run out my silly energy bursts I get.  I can't wait to have a furever home to run around in and call my own.

Hey, come here and love on me some more!

I almost found my furever home about a month ago at a Petsmart adoption event but it was noticed that I seemed to be sick with a cold.  I was checked out and diagnosed with a chronic upper respiratory infection.  Upper respiratory infections are very common in rescue cats and are brought on by stress.  Just like a common cold in humans, most kitties are back to feeling like themselves in a week or two.

I however will always experience symptoms that will never 100% go away.  But don't worry, it's manageable with basic, cost effective medicine, a healthy diet and lots of love!  It's not contagious to humans or other animals, only between cats.  So I will have to be the only kitty in my new furever home.

I love to roll around and be silly!

I don't even know I'm supposed to be feeling sick though.  I just want to soak up all of your love and attention.  I love to roll around and cuddle with you.  I purr up a storm, too!  And I get along with everyone!  Won't you please give me the loving furever home I long for?  I will be forever grateful. My adoption fee is $40 which includes my spay and up-to-date routine shots and vaccines.   Please  fill out an application for me today at www.pawsandprayers.org!
