When we do adoptions, we always ask “Do you have any plans to declaw?” And yesterday, someone answered, “Yeah, maybe at some point in the future.” Usually at this point we would stop the adoption, but the way that they responded hinted to us that they may not be educated about the repercussions of declawing. We stumble upon teaching moments every day. Instead of putting away the paperwork and showing these people the door, we asked them what they thought declawing was, and essentially their response was they thought that vets shave the claws down. When we explained that the first knuckle is removed, altering their posture, leading to arthritis, behavioral problems, and difficulties using the litter box, they were all ears. We offered alternative suggestions such as clipping their claws with trimmers, accessorizing with claw caps, and providing appropriate scratching material. It took less than five minutes to explain the reality of declawing. Sure there are still vets who will perform the surgery. But there are still many, many more who will put the quality of an animal’s life over the quality of furniture. We’re confident that those adopters left with a better understanding of the procedure, and because we took a moment to explain it to them, they will choose a happier life for their new fur child. 💕 And if you recognize this fuzzy face, no Fern wasn’t the one getting adopted, the lucky gal was only with us for two days and we didn’t get a chance to get a picture of her! Keep your CLAWS crossed for our Ferny Girl though 😻
Somehow Stormy’s made it with us past our average 2 week mark! This beautiful grey man is looking for a calm, loving hooman who will give him all the love and ear scratches he could ever want! 💕 Book online meow to come meet him, we bet you can’t resist that sweet face! 🥰
“Does he always have that dorky ‘I didn’t do it’ look on his face?” 😹 Yes, and now you get to look at that face forever! CUMBERBATCH IS ADOPTED! We’re so so happy for him, after months of hearing how “mean” he is, someone finally saw him for who he really is - a grumpy dude who just needs to nap in peace. Yes that means don’t change the channel, he was watching that (as he snores). If you were only ever met with his whappy paws, here’s a few other things to know about him: he loves it when you pour water into the bowl really slowly so we know he’s going to love running water in his new home. If he looks at you and flops over showing you his belly, it’s cute but it’s a trap, even though we still hold out hope that one day it won’t be. There’s one spot right above his nose and that is the ONLY spot that’s allowed to be pet while he’s sleeping and only for like 30 seconds too or else. We’re gonna miss this big, handsome dude!
