Calico kittens & cats in Beloit, Wisconsin

Name: MelodyBreed: Calico/DSHDOB: 7/3/2026Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location:  Roscoe, IL  Adoption fee: $200 a kitten or $350 for a pair of kittens under 2 years of age. Fun Bio: Kittens need to hit 2 pounds (usually around 10–12 weeks old) before they can be spayed or neutered. We try to schedule their surgeries as close to that mark as possible, but of course it depends on the vet’s availability. This all has to happen before they’re ready for adoption—so once they’re fixed, they’ll be on their way to their forever homes!  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 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 (done at 26 weeks), 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 amputated 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 litter box.  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.   ##2810953##

Born: April 11, 2024 Adoption Donation: $200 Meet Friday – A Gentle Soul Looking for Love Friday is a beautiful calico cutie with a quiet, gentle nature. Coming from a hoarding situation, she’s still learning to trust people, but one thing is for sure—she absolutely loves other cats! Having feline friends gives her confidence, and she would thrive in a home with a social, friendly kitty to show her the ropes. Though she’s very shy, Friday has a sweet heart and just needs a patient adopter who will give her the time and space to feel safe. If you have a calm home and a kind heart (and maybe a kitty friend waiting), Friday might be the perfect addition to your family. Are you the one to give this shy girl the love and security she deserves? All cats are microchipped, neutered, current on all vaccines, and FeLV/FIV tested at the time of adoption.

Lord Nefarian, Lord of the Black Dragonflight is a 4ish y/o black cat with opinions. He is a big boy at 18 lbs due to being a tomcat in the wild for the first 3 years of his life. He is caught up on his vaccinations. We adopted him from the local shelter almost a year ago and gave him more than enough time to acclimate to our home with 3 Dachshunds and 1 other cat, but he is physically aggressive to all of them. He bullies our other cat and all the dogs have received injuries from him showing his displeasure about their existence. He is absolutely a loving, attentive, happy cat with the humans. He purrs, he meows, he headbutts, he sings, he is a love machine. To humans. He would do best as an only pet. He loves to lie on the arm of the couch like a panther lurking before pouncing. His tail never stops swishing, like the Lord of the Jungle he is. Is your home prepared for his regal presence? We sure hope so!
