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. ##2032317##

I'm your guy! I'm Brownie! Yeah yeah, I know, I'm not brown. My siblings and I were all named after ice cream flavors and sadly, I'm the only one left. We were found outside as babies struggling to survive and brought to safety indoors. I am a fun dude, but can be a little "mischievious" as the humans say. (I prefer the term "ninja" personally.) I've been waiting for a long long time to find my forever home (as us black cats usually do) and am getting a little sad and impatient. I'm great with kids, dogs, and other cats! Do you have some windows I can watch the birds from? Toys I can play with? Boxes to lay in? A home to call mine forever?
