Fun Bio:
: !
Zilla (short for Godzilla) is a 2 1/2 year-old mini-panther with a secret: he’s an ! While his gorgeous fur is ebony with a few white splashes, his personality is oh-so ginger—playful and a little mischievous!
: Zilla is a nice balance of "party animal," “chill,” and "Velcro cat." He can turn a stray milk cap or pen into an Olympic-level toy, but he’s just as happy napping on your chest or by your side. He’s independent enough to entertain himself, but social enough to join the family around the Christmas tree to "help" open gifts.
• : He’s a fan! He’d love a young, playful buddy to wrestle with but would also be okay as an only cat (just be ready to play with him!). Proper, slow introductions a must.
•: He’s lived with a cat-friendly dog and did great.
•: He thrives on companionship and can even be held. He’s looking for a patient cat-lover willing to help him adapt to his finally-forever home.
' : We all have one, right? Well not only does Zilla identify as orange, but he also sometimes thinks he’s a puppy. He sometimes gives "love nips" when he wants attention, his food replenished or wants to play with you like a fellow cat. It’s pretty gentle, but because of this, he’d do best in an adult-only home or with cat-savvy older kids who understand he means no harm. Are you a patient cat-lover willing to work with him on this?
' : Daily Churu sticks and tossing Temptations treats he can pounce on will earn you a best friend for life. He’s all about food and fun!
Whether chasing treats or snuggling up after a long day of being handsome, Zilla will bring a smile to your face. And he’s looking for his finally-forever family — could that be you?
Ready to see why black is the new orange? Come meet Zilla!
These babes will be ready for adoption when they are 8-10 weeks old. So we have some time, but follow their story! Get an application in, and be patient OR apply for one of our already kittens or cats!
If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website. We process applications in the order in which they are received. We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.
We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!
Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip.
Anti-Declawing Policy:
All cats and kittens will have a no declaw policy in their adoption contract with us!
Declawing is a series of bone amputations. Declawing is more accurately described by the term de-knuckling and is not merely the removal of the claws, as the term “declawing” implies. In humans, fingernails grow from the skin, but in animals that hunt prey, the claws grow from the bone; therefore, the last bone is amputates so the claw cannot re-grow. Declawing is one of the most painful, routinely performed procedures in all of veterinary medicine. Each toe of the cat is amputated at the first joint. Declawing a cat is equivalent in a person to amputating the entire first knuckle of every finger.
Declawing is done strictly for the benefit of the owner. There are NO benefits to the cat and NO good reasons to declaw.
Declawing can lead to behavior changes. A declawed cat has no way to defend itself and may resort to biting more often. Due to pain, they may stop using the litterbox.
There are humane alternatives to declawing. Cats can be trained to use scratching posts. They should have their nails trimmed regularly. There is double sided sticky tape that can be put on furniture to deter a cat from scratching there. There are also nail caps called Soft Paws that are glued onto a cat's nail without harm.
