Three Foster Kittens Have all Been Spoken for

I currently am nursing three new foster kittens back to health, originally from Milwaukee Area Domestic Control Center; (the pound). These little babies were going to be put to sleep due to lack of room and time to nurse small kittens several times a day. I rescued them through the organization "For Cats Sake" (www.forcatssake.org). All three of these little babies would make amazing pets! They will be available to take home on January 10th, 2010.

At the time of adoption all kittens are completely vet checked, with all shots and neutered/spayed. Anyone knows that this can cost anywhere between $200-500 to take your pet to the vet. Therefore, our adoption fees are next to nothing, and every penny goes towards supplies, medicine, and food to keep our rescued cats and kittens alive. Nobody in this organization is paid a salary; we are all volunteers and open our homes to save these little lives that are so precious.

Each kitten costs $100 and for a second one the fee is reduced to $50. This is an amazing deal and even cheaper then the Humane Society. If you don't already have a cat, you must take a pair of the kittens; they are very social creatures and need a buddy. :)

Lastly, we are a non-declawing group. At the time of adoption, you must sign a binding contract that states you will never at any time declaw them. Contrary to most people's understanding, declawing consists of amputating not just the claws, but the whole phalanx (up to the joint), including bones, ligaments, and tendons! To remove the claw, the bone, nerve, joint capsule, collateral ligaments, and the extensor and flexor tendons must all be amputated. Thus declawing is not a “simple”, single surgery but 10 separate, painful amputations of the third phalanx up to the last joint of each toe. A graphic comparison in human terms would be the cutting off of a person's finger at the last joint of each finger. This is not only inhumane, painful, can permanently change the kittens/cats demeanor, but it is UNNECESSARY. For more info on declawing go to:

I train all my foster kittens to use a scratching post and they have never turned to my furniture. Another alternative to to use soft paws, which is a small cap that you place over each claw. The cat doesn't even notice it's there, and is an inexpensive and humane alternative to declawing. Check out http://www.softpaws.com/ for more info. You can also get them at most pet stores.

And finally, scroll down see the three little kittens that will be ready for adoption on January 10th, 2010. All three kittens are extremely well behaved, socialized, sweet, loving, and litter trained.
