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 nails without harm.  ##1714352##

I adopted my cat at the age of 1 and had her for two years. I am getting married soon and my fiancé has bad allergies and asthma so I won’t be able to keep munchkin. She is super sweet though and a big people person, she will always want to be wherever you are or people are. She likes to meow and talk with you too. The only thing is she gets really stressed around other animals so she is a solo pet. Hoping to find her someone who can bring munchkin a good home!

Hi! My name is Eloise! I am such a nice girl -- and I'm as fluffy as I am sweet! I love to be pet, and will purr away while being stroked. I was recently returned to the shelter, with my two siblings. It wasn't our fault -- we are great kitties! My humans found themselves in a tough spot, and *of course* the nice people at the shelter said they would take us back. I grew up with my siblings, Seymour and Remi, and we are *super* bonded. We do all need to go home together. But don't let that scare you! I bet you're thinking, "I'd have to take ALL THREE cats?!" Our previous home had kids and a puppy, so we've already been exposed to quite a lot! We're almost out of kittenhood -- we don't really *act* like kittens. No crazy mayhem, no climbing the curtains, no toddler-like angst. We are basically made of sugar and fluff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Included in our adoption fee, all of our kitties are vaccinated, FELV / FIV tested, dewormed, microchipped, spayed / neutered, and checked out by a veterinarian.

Hello my name in Misato and I have a big heart..  for real. I have cardiomyopathy. I am a 2 yr old Calico and just beautiful. When I went for my wellness exam they discovered I had a significant heart murmur and also needed a dental. Since then I have had an echocardiogram. I will be on inexpensive meds for life and will currently require echocardiograms every 6 months that may go to yearly and or every couple of years. I am a very sweet girl and I just need a human that is willing to make the financial commitment to me as well as loving me forever. I do not like other cats at all. I am good with kids and not sure if I like dogs. Please come and visit me soon only serious inquiries need apply. Thank you. oh and I forgot to tell you that I purr constantly and it's really loud.... :-) June 3, 2023, 12:40 am

Ending up as a stray was not what I wanted in life. I had dreams of being pampered and loved with a comfy bed and lots of loving. During the day, I would enjoy naps in a sun puddle, then maybe spending some time watching the birds and squirrels. As you can see, I have a bed that I love and I get a lot of loving but at night, it would be great to have a lap. Can you make my dream come true?

Hi. My name is Chesney. I'm three years old, but I look and play like a little kitten. If you have any toys - I'm all in! I love cheek rubs, wet food, and all my cat friends here at the shelter. The shelter is the first place I felt safe. Before I got here, I lived in a home that was... well, not good. There were a lot, - I mean a lot of cats, and we didn't get enough positive human interaction, so we never learned to trust. When I first got to LAS I was terrified. If a person even looked at me, I ran away. It was wet food and toys that taught me that people can be kind to me. And slowly I learned to trust some of the people at the shelter. In fact, now they can pet me and I love it. I love them. When I think about getting adopted, I know that I'll need: 1) another cat in the home, 2) a quieter environment, and 3) people who are experienced with cats like me. Despite making amazing gains with people here, moving to a new place will be traumatic, so my new family will have to know that it will take me a good while to recover. So, that's me emotionally. Physically, I have something called *FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). That means I have a reduced immune system. My health issues sometimes scare people away. Being POS-FIV, my adopters will just have to take super great care of me, like having nutritious food and 2X year vet visits. FIV positive cats can live long lives with a bit of extra care. I hope you are the person that will give me a forever home. Please come to LAS and talk to the staff about adopting me. I'll be in the Teal adoption room waiting for you! *LAS routinely checks for FIV, as it is a common virus found in cats living outdoors. All of the cats in the Teal adoption room have tested positive for FIV. You cannot catch FIV, and you can't spread it. It is only transmitted by blood from one feline to another. Please come visit our FIV cats, they are some of the friendliest cats we have at the shelter.
