Happy Caturday from our pile of good luck charms! 🐈‍⬛ Head to pawsatlanta.org to adopt a black cat of your own ❤️ You know you could use some luck 🥰 #blackcat #adoptdontshop #pawsatlanta #kitten #adoptacat

BIG SKY IS OUTTA HERE! 🎉 Yes, you read that right. After waiting for a home for almost 7 YEARS, one of our longest residents, Big Sky, has been adopted! 👏 He's spent the last few weeks in foster with his now adoptive family testing the waters and learning the ropes. After working with our trainer to fully understand all Big Sky's little quirks, his new dad knew he couldn't live without this handsome goofball. While the shelter might be a little quieter without his daily "awoooo", our team has never been happier to say farewell to a pup ❤️ No matter how long it's been, we never give up on finding homes for our long-term residents. It can be a difficult road, but it's so worth it for moments like this.

At 14 years old, Japan is ready for a second chance. 🐈‍⬛ Well, really, a third chance. Japan was adopted from us quite a few years ago and was returned back to the shelter in 2021. He was adopted again a few months later, but last year, he came back to us again because his owner had unexpected health challenges. Japan knows the love of a home, and we want so badly for him to find it again. ❤️ Japan is doing wonderfully in his foster home, enjoying his catnip toys, couch naps, and his favorite tube treats. He's a perfect gentleman 🥰 and he knows the ropes: litterbox manners, dinnertime routine, greeting guests, he's got it all down to an art. Plus, his adoption fee is already covered by a secret admirer. Japan is lucky to have had so much love in his life, and we want him to continue to know the comfort of home all through his ✨️ golden years. If you're looking for a sweet companion to greet you at the end of the day and make you smile every morning, fill out an application to meet Japan today! ADOPT🔗 in bio

🚨 WE NEED PET FOOD! 🚨 We know it's only been a few weeks since we asked for your help with our Pet Food Bank, but it's already empty again. 💔 Every day we get calls and visitors asking for pet food, and it breaks our hearts to have to send people away empty handed. Our Pet Food Bank is entirely funded by the community. While we wish we had the ability to fund it ourselves, with the rising prices of pet food, we need to use the resources we have to feed our shelter pets. So...we need you! ➡️ We need donations of unopened/unexpired cat and dog food. You can drop them off in person any time (5287 Covington Hwy) or ship some straight to us from our Amazon Wish List, linked in our bio. Thank you to everyone who helps make this community resource possible! 🐾

We’ve had some wonderful adoptions recently. Here’s a look at a few of the dogs and cats who found their families.

We have had some really sweet adoptions over the last few days. On Saturday, despite the rough weather, 11 cats and dogs found homes! Thank you to everyone who came out to the shelter to meet our adoptables. We didn’t get a photo, but our kitty besties Judge Judy and Candy Land went home together… so we incudes shots from earlier in the week of them at the end. ❤️

HELP! We are completely out of dog treats at the shelter! We use a ton of treats as rewards for every sit (thanks, Hazy!) and stay and drama-free nod to passing dogs. They are the crunchy-crunch that makes going back to their kennels after a walk a lot more pleasant. Please donate a box of Milkbones or Milkbone-type treats so we can keep our pups happy. You can find them on our Amazon Wish List or drop them off or have them delivered to PAWS Atlanta at 5287 Covington Highway, Decatur GA 30085. 🐾 link to our Amazon Wish List is in our bio

Today was a good day! #ShelterSaturday is baaaacckk at PAWS Atlanta, and this time our nearly 100 pups have an URGENT REQUEST!! Have you any Milkbone-type treats? Crunchy but safe for all tummies? We have run completely out of treats! Treats help us reward good behavior, teach new skills, ease the sadness of those end-of-walk returns to their kennels, and treats help make the daily shelter routine a little sweeter for our guests. If you can donate a box or a bag, that would be amazing! Here’s a break down of the behind the scenes shots — 1. Jet got adopted! He was very pleased! 2. Bunty got a nice walk with her volunteer bestie, Chiara. She loved it! 3. Green Bean got some TLC from Sage, who came all the way from Portland! 4. Phantom went to town on his tennis ball, and no one took it away, even though it was nasty. 5. Jet’s new family has assured us this little prince will have an extensive wardrobe (like a walk-in closet) and a tiny 6-pound big sister to teach him the ropes of doggin. 6. Fluffernutter is ridiculously pretty. Still available, too. 7. Tenzin got lots of practice walks thanks to our new volunteers. Also available 8. Jigglypuff, our diluted tortie girl, is settling nicely into the cat cottage. 9. Jet and his new human brother hit it off right away. 10. Kya and Pigeon were adopted together! A 🐶 and a 🐈‍⬛! 11. Blu got a new adoption photo! 12. Onyx had a blast! He always does.
