Domestic Shorthair kittens & cats in Roscoe, Illinois

Name: Raoul Breed: DSHDOB: 09/01/2020Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Machesney Park, ILAdoption fee: $50                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Fun Bio: Raoul was found in a busy apartment complex after some neighbors moved away, left behind to fend for himself. Upon rescue, we noticed that he had some significant scarring on his back, which may be from a struggle with a coyote. Regardless of his past, this boy isn’t holding any grudges. Raoul LOVES people and is always up for making new friends. He thinks he has the charm of Ryan Gosling, but really, his mannerisms are more that of Sloth from the Goonies. Either way, this gentleman is magical and wants a happily ever after with you. Yes, he is FIV+ but it's really no big deal. FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which is passed through deep bite wounds or by a mother cat to her kittens across the placenta or through her milk. The virus affects the immune system, leaving cats vulnerable to infections and disease. If they get injured or ill, they may take longer to recover than most cats and could need a little extra TLC. FIV is not transmissible to humans or other species. But they generally don’t require ongoing medication or much additional care.  And research has shown that FIV+ cats have the same lifespan non FIV+ cats.  So, "Hey, you guys!" please apply to meet Raoul 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 nails without harm. ##1811061##
