Calico kittens & cats in Monroe, Wisconsin

Shadow if a very energetic and playful kitten. She is a Calico. Her orange and white fur comes from her mother and her black comes from her father. We had originally been feeding a stray who we discovered to be pregnant. Shadow was her only surviving kitten. After a couple months shadows mother dissapesred and we took her in temporarily while looking for a home. She has spent a good amount of time indoors (roughly 5 months), but was originally an outdoor stray. She is timid at first but very cuddly once she gets to know you.

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.   ##2717054##

She is a beautiful, quiet soul who thrives in a one-on-one environment. While she isn't a fan of the hustle and bustle of children (she will hiss to ask for space), she is a world-class napper and will be your best friend once the house settles down. She is looking for a 'retirement speed' home where she can bask in the sun and reclaim her throne on a comfy sofa."
