This sweet, playful, friendly girl is the whole package! She's sassy energetic and loves to chirp while playing with her favorite toy springs. Her beautiful orange coloring makes her a rare find too, as only 18% of orange cats are female. Apply to meet this perfect scoop of orange sherbet today! If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend playtime, positive reinforcement training and a regular schedule for feeding times when bringing a new cat/kitten into your home. 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. ##2079831##

Story
Yuki is a 7 year old tortoiseshell. She can be a bit standoffish at first but once she warms up to you she can be a real cuddlebug. She loves to play with the feathers on a stick and pretty much any toy with feathers. She does have the tortie spice though!

Story
Yoda is a sweet boy, always watching and very calculated. He loves to run and play and has the pounce of a big cat! He is a sucker for a head scratch and will fall asleep in your lap if he feels safe! He has a sweet concerned look in his eyes when you talk to him, and his ears go almost sideways(like baby yoda). He is sure to steal all the hearts in the house! He will always investigate your dinner, and, more often than not, will try to steal a bite or two. Its best if you save snack size pieces for him to try! He is so fast and agile for his size, I can hardly believe he is almost 10 whole weeks old! He was the first to locate the litter box and has never had an accident!

Story
Hi this is Muffin Top we call her Muffin. She’s about 3 years old. She was originally adopted from a humane society where she came in as a stray. She’s shy and scared of a lot of things but she is the most sweetest little girl ever. She loves tummy rubs and will roll on her back for them. She loves food and treats. If you give her a chance she’ll be the best cat ever. We aren’t able to keep her since she is so shy and we have a 7 month old son who she’s just scared of and hides all day long. I want her to have a home where she’s comfortable and confident and sadly we can’t give that to her anymore. No adoption fee I want her given to a good home. You can text me 920-645-1372
