Story
This sweet boy was abandoned near our home. He is not microchipped and no one claimed him following report to local shelters. Our vet examined, neutered, and administered his shots. He is a very sweet, docile boy but we have three other adult cats and two of those refuse to tolerate him. We are hoping to rehome him. We live in Rockford but are often in Janesville and Madison, WI if it would be helpful for us to coordinate drop off closer to new home.

Story
Inky is a handsome boy, approximately 3 years old. He's very healthy (fully vetted), gentle, and loving. He grew up as a stray and after a rough street life was was converted to an indoor cat (and he LOVES it). He is happy hanging out with his person and chilling in a window. He was attacked while living on the streets so is untrusting of other cats. I believe he would be best as an only pet. He is very clean, has always used the litter box, doesn't touch plants, uses his scratcher and doesn't scratch furniture. He needs a calm home where he can roam freely and be adored. He's a special, sweet soul. His foster mom loves him very much, but juggling cats/doors/tension has become very difficult on everyone. If you are willing and able to give Inky his best life he will reward you with unconditional love and snuggles. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Name: LolaBreed: DMHDOB: 5/21/2023Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Rockford, ILAdoption fee: $25 Fun Bio: Lola was rescued from a hoarding situation and is ready for a fresh start. As only 20% of orange cats are female, this rare beauty is quite the catch! She is spayed, microchipped, fully vetted and ready to go! Apply to meet her today! 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 naile cat’s nails without harm. ##2079813##

Fun Bio:This beautiful girl may be shy at first, but once she learns to trust you, it’s all pets, purrs, and cuddles from there She just needs a little patience and a lot of love — and in return, she’ll be your sweetest shadow 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.
