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. ##2222542##

Misty is our daughter’s cat. She moved and could not take Misty with her so we continued to care for her. My wife is allergic to the cat and her allergies are getting worse, so we are looking for a loving home for Misty. Thank you!

Hi. My name is Chesney. I’m three years old, but I look and play like a little kitten. If you have any toys - I’m all in! I love cheek rubs, wet food, and all my cat friends here at the shelter. The shelter is the first place I felt safe. Before I got here, I lived in a home that was… well, not good. There were a lot, - I mean a lot of cats, and we didn’t get enough positive human interaction, so we never learned to trust. When I first got to LAS I was terrified. If a person even looked at me, I ran away. It was wet food and toys that taught me that people can be kind to me. And slowly I learned to trust some of the people at the shelter. In fact, now they can pet me and I love it. I love them. When I think about getting adopted, I know that I’ll need: 1) another cat in the home, 2) a quieter environment, and 3) people who are experienced with cats like me. Despite making amazing gains with people here, moving to a new place will be traumatic, so my new family will have to know that it will take me a good while to recover. So, that’s me emotionally. Physically, I have something called *FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus). That means I have a reduced immune system. My health issues sometimes scare people away. Being POS-FIV, my adopters will just have to take super great care of me, like having nutritious food and 2X year vet visits. FIV positive cats can live long lives with a bit of extra care. I hope you are the person that will give me a forever home. Please come to LAS and talk to the staff about adopting me. I’ll be in the Teal adoption room waiting for you! *LAS routinely checks for FIV, as it is a common virus found in cats living outdoors. All of the cats in the Teal adoption room have tested positive for FIV. You cannot catch FIV, and you can’t spread it. It is only transmitted by blood from one feline to another. Please come visit our FIV cats, they are some of the friendliest cats we have at the shelter.

Hi. My name is Dionne. I’m a 7 month old kitten. Before I came to the shelter I lived outside, which was very scary, especially as it got colder out. I was found in someone’s yard and they brought me to Lakeland Animal Shelter; A.warm bed, a full belly, ahh it’s amazing! I get along great with other cats, and would like them in my new home - but I’m sensitive and would need to live with kind cats that would never bully me. I’d like my new home to be a bit quieter, with people who know cats very well, and know that I need a very, very slow approach to teach me to trust. So, please only teens/adults in the home. I like pets - especially on my face and head. Just please don’t betray me and try to pick me up - that would be horrible and oh so scary! If you are the right family for me, please come to the Purple adoption room. Oh, I love to play and boxes are the best! Do you have toys and boxes? Ooo, I hope. Hope to see you soon, Love, Dionne
