Kittens need a good home

[cASe SenSiTive]

My wife and I have been fostering three kittens, and it's time that they get permanent homes.

They just turned 12 weeks old. They are very sweet, affectionate, and playful. They absolutely adore other cats, but aren't sure about dogs at all.

They are completely litter box trained, love being brushed and are used to having their nails trimmed.

They've had their first set of shots, and will get the second and FELV tested this week. They are from a feral colony, so they do have a little bit of a cold that they're getting over (although the moving stress will probably make it flare up again). The rehoming fee is $75, but we will pay for neutering at All About Animals once they get settled and fully over the cold.


Bubba is mostly black with slightly darker black stripes (called a ghost tabby- I think those will fade as he gets older) and black and white spotted legs and belly, with a little white necklace.
Tinycat is a tuxedo.
Doug is a tabby with white in a tuxedo pattern.

We will not rehome them to anyone who will declaw them or let them be indoor/outdoor cats.

Cute cats. And props to you guys for fostering and the no-declawing. We just adopted out the cat we found under our deck with those same rules. Unfortunately Ricky Bobby doesn't seem to like other cats (unless it was just her that we just got rid of. :lol: ). That one with the black face looks pretty cool! Good luck with the adoptions.

They've only been briefly exposed to my brother's hyper King Charles Cavalier. Bubba seemed the most likely to accept a dog, but they didn't spend a lot of time together. I think it would depend a lot on the dog.

+1 for fostering the cats Thom. Good to see your still alive...

I'd take one if you could get it to GA easily enough. I've been looking for a cat for a little bit, but haven't had enough free time to go down to the shelter to get one yet.

what do you have against declawing?

 

[Stalker]

it cuts off the knuckle of the cat. So kind of cruel. I don't care if you do or don't declaw, but it's a sore point for many.

Road trip!

:werd:
Literally chops the cat's claw off at the first knuckle.

I don't see why. Both of mine are done, happiest most spoiled cats you will ever find. When I did have a kitten in the house with front claws it was a nightmare. Ruined everything.

 

[Stalker]

I don't care personally. I understand why some think it's cruel and understand why some want it. I don't have a cat so don't worry about it. Much bigger things to worry about than that in my life.

One of our cats is de-clawed, and he's happy and spoiled as well. But all our other cats have their claws and are well-behaved. I wouldn't do it to another cat.

I go back and forth on that issue. I have one done (6 years old) and a 4 year old that hasn't. Like Ryan, I see both sides. I know I'd never do all 4. They like to sneek out and I certainly don't want them defenseless. Nice looking kitties Thom.

I agree with you there, both of mine have back claws.

I agree. I have declawed in the past (before I knew better) Once I knew what they actually did I will absolutely never do it to another cat again! If you keep the nails trimmed (which is easy) and give them proper scratching posts and stuff having nails is not an issue. Mine did way worse damage with back nails than fronts as they are almost like stoppers when they jump on stuff :roll: My last 2 cats have not been declawed.

Declawing can lead to painful arthritis in the paws, biting behavior and improper elimination. Not to mention it is a painful procedure that is totally unnecessary.

Thanks for foster Thom! I was hoping to foster, but last year when I added my last cat (after my 15 year old passed away) my oldest boy freaked out and stopped eating. A year later he is now tolerating his new younger sister :lol: I'm still hoping at some point I may be able to foster.
