Its Adoption Update Sunday and its been a very good week. This week we were able to see some of our super long term cats find forever homes and we couldn't be happier.

Ray and Harry came to us from Kuwait and had been with us a year and a half. They were shy enough that adopters were not willing to take a chance until Evelyn and her family came along. They love dogs and immediately bonded with the family dog. When Evelyn applied we did a virtual visit and then dropped them off for a several week trial. That's what it sometimes takes for a shy cat to get a chance at a home

Luke and Humus came to us two and a half years ago from the country of Jordan. Even though they are fabulous cats and great with their foster, they seemed to know that when adopters visited they should be at their worst, so that they didn't have to leave their wonderful foster home. That is until Kelly came along and we guess she got the seal of approval

Our other lucky cats may not have been long termers but they all are so deserving of permanent homes

Congratulations to Julien

“If you feed them, they will come.” 🐾

And that’s exactly why community cat caretakers matter. When a reliable food source is maintained, colony cats return to a safe, familiar place where they can be monitored, managed, and cared for. Not only does providing regular food, fresh water, and safe outdoor shelters help the cats survive harsh weather - managing cat colonies helps prevent disease via vaccinations and also reduces injuries by way of spay/neuter (lowering the natural urge to fight and stemming overpopulation)

Thanks to YOU, we’re now more than halfway to our $15,000 goal! Every donation helps keep food bowls filled and supports the dedicated caretakers who make sure these cats don’t go hungry or without medical care.

What About Me Wednesday🐾💙

What about me?

It’s a question so many community cats might ask if they could speak for themselves.

This week, we want to remind our community that every cat matters—and the support we provide can completely change a cat’s life.

PBJ recently helped this sweet community cat who was suffering from bilateral entropion, a painful condition where the eyelids roll inward and rub against the cornea. Without treatment, this constant friction can lead to painful ulcers, infections, scarring, and even blindness.

Thankfully, this little one didn’t have to face it alone. ❤️

PBJ was able to provide the bilateral entropion surgery needed to relieve the painful irritation, protect the eyes, and give this community cat a much better chance at a comfortable, healthy life.

For an outdoor cat, something that might seem like a small medical issue can quickly become a serious, life-altering problem. Your support means we can step in when community cats need us most.

So this , please take a moment to think about the cats living just outside our doors. They may not have a home, but they deserve compassion, comfort, and care.

Thank you for considering to support our Community Cat fundraising efforts so we can continue to serve cats in need. https://pbj.org/communitycats.html

Help PBJ Reach $15,000 by September 20! 🐾❤️

In 2026, PBJ has been there for community cats when they’ve needed us most. From food and shelters to vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, wound care, dental treatments, ultrasounds, sedated mat shavings, and so much more, we’ve worked hard to give cats the care they deserve.

Behind every one of these cats is a dedicated TNR community—people who give their own time, money, and energy to help cats in need. PBJ is committed to being there for these incredible caregivers with the ongoing resources, medical care, and support they need to continue their lifesaving work.

Life as an outdoor cat is never easy. Every vaccine, surgery, treatment, meal, and safe shelter can make a difference—and give a cat a better chance at a healthier, safer life. 🐱

But we can’t do this alone.

Our goal is to raise $15,000 by September 20 so we can carry this important work into 2027. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue providing critical care and resources to community cats and the people fighting for them every day.

💙 Will you help us reach our $15K goal?

Your gift can provide food, medical treatment, lifesaving surgeries, and so much more for cats who desperately need it.

Donate today and help PBJ keep showing up for community cats in 2026—and into 2027! 🐾

Meet Zenyatta!

Beautiful one-year-old Zenyatta is ready to begin her next chapter with a loving forever family — and this girl is quite the character!

Zenyatta believes any spot is a good spot to plop down, and if there’s a new box, toy, scratching pad, or cat tree around, you can count on her to investigate it immediately.

She’s playful, curious, and even interested in dogs around her size. She gets adorable bursts of zoomies, but when the day winds down, she’s happy to cuddle up in bed at night.

One of her sweetest habits is finding a soft blanket, suckling on it while making biscuits. And when she finds a toy she really loves, she carries it away to her special “cave” under the bed for safekeeping!

🐾 Playful & Curious
❤️ Sweet & Affectionate
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Great for Families
🛏️ Nighttime Cuddler

Go to www.pbj.org to fill out a no-obligation application to meet Zenyatta! Our adoption fee covers spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccines, microchipping and FIV/FeLV testing.
