Get ready for an overload of cuteness this weekend as these kittens and more will be making their debut at PAWS!

Wondering why there is a bag of chips next to two of these kittens? We give theme names to each litter of kitten, and -- as you can guess -- those are the "Chip kittens".

Have an idea for what themes we can use as kitten season continues? Put your suggestions in the comments below.

This fluffy gal really is sweet as Pineapple! 🍍

Pineapple is 100% ready for a life full of cozy beds, fun adventures, and a family who will love her just the way she is. A gorgeous little pup, Pineapple is absolutely bursting with personality that is sure to make you smile. Her favorite things? Walkies, car rides, and getting lots of pets!

When Pineapple finds her family, she hopes that she gets some awesome doggy siblings who can show her the ropes and build her confidence. This little pup is ready to be your trusty sidekick and she’d be happy to meet you! Learn more about her on our website or apply to adopt her today!

It's an orange delight of cats and kittens at PAWS!

If you have a soft spot for orange felines, we have many waiting to steal your heart.

Anvil, Lock, Megaflash, and Rocket are adorable kittens ready to burst into your home with an abundance of fun and love.

One-year-old Dandy Randy is equally fun as he will play with you through the lobby window at PAWS, while Sherlock loved snuggling up next to one of our Reading Program kids.

Louey, Lox, and Sunoco round out our fabulous orange kitties, and all hope you will come and visit them at PAWS!

Trying to decide which cat you want to adopt from PAWS? Be sure to come and visit Tatiana, who has quickly become a favorite of our volunteers and Reading Program kids!

Tatiana is an outgoing and friendly girl who is always happy to have visitors.

She is a playful and fun cat, who also loves to sit on your lap for snuggles or kisses.

Tatiana has some health-related needs and has tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV+) -- but she hopes you will focus more on how much love she has to give you!

Journey spent nearly a month running as a stray near Lock Haven, keeping everyone on their toes while staying just out of reach. Thanks to the persistence and hard work of Joy Russell, her days of playing hard to get are officially over.

Now she’s ready for the next chapter, finding a family to call her own.

Journey is a sweet girl who loves everyone she meets, likes other dogs, and is ready to trade life on the run for comfy beds, belly rubs, and a place to settle in.

After a month of adventure, we think it's time for Journey to find her destination.
