Clarice is a beautiful, medium haired calico. She was adopted from us 2-1/2 yrs ago and we recently reclaimed her from an out of town animal control as a stray. The owner never contacted us, the microchip company or animal control to report her missing so she is again with PAWS. She would do best in a home without young children or dogs. We are not yet sure if she is cat friendly.Please submit an application at pawshs.org and NOT a Petfinder inquiry as they may not be answered due to the volume of these inquiries received.

Name: AdrinaBreed: Medium Hair CalicoDOB: 04/01/2022Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: UNSUREGood with cats: YESFoster location: Chicago, ILAdoption fee: $50Fun Bio: All hail Princess Adrina! This beautiful, calico, orange-eyed girl is gorgeous - and she knows it! This little lady was found struggling to survive outside with her mom and siblings. She was brought inside where it was safe and warm and has slowly learned that humans are good (in general....and as servants). Adrina is still a little shy of the public eye and takes a little time to warm up to new people but once she's comfortable with you, she's a sweet, playful girl. She loves cozy cat beds, toy mice, being admired, and other cats. She also LOVES her mom, (Queen) Attina (also available for adoption). Adrina has been waiting patiently for her forever home for over a year now and has watched her siblings find their homes, sadly wondering why no one has picked her yet. This pretty girl would do best in a home willing to be patient as understanding with her Royal Highness as she adjusts to her new castle. Are you her happily ever after? 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 nails without harm.  ##1510005##
