It is a scientifically proven fact: playing with kittens lowers your blood pressure, calms your nerves, and extends your life. Take one kitten a day for three days, and call your life insurance agent for a rate reduction in the morning. Of course, if you want to take the kitten with water, WE WILL PROVIDE THE WATER.

One of our volunteers regularly updates our listing of cats on the Petfinder web site. Look at our Animal Websites page for all our links, or go directly to Petfinder.

Suzy is an adult female cat.

Mistletoe is a young female cat

Here is a litter of black kittens. They are, left to right, Gidget, Georgia, Gabby, and Geno; take your pick.

Panda

Kaylee is eight months old, a female, domestic short-hair, calico and white cat. Kaylee is happily nestled in the arms of her friend, Felicia, who came to play and entertain the animals at the shelter. Kaylee would love to have a like friend when she finds her forever home.

Panda, an eight-month-old, black and white, male, domestic short-hair, has climbed high in the cat run and is enjoying the sunshine. Panda is affectionate, and could definitely be a lap cat

Magic is a 2-1/2-year-old, female, domestic-short-hair tabby. Magic is brave and inquisitive--she kept trying to jump out of her cage and explore (who could blame her). She is not afraid of anyone who comes to see her. She is definitely a "people" cat and will gladly give loving nudges to anyone who gets near her. She would appreciate a home with a soft place to sleep and some warm milk once in a while.

This is Eclipse, a nine-month-old, domestic short-hair, female, black kitten. Eclipse is full of energy, and would provide lots of entertainment. Just give her a few catnip toys and watch her go. She loves an audience, and will gladly perform to the enjoyment of her new family. When she has worn herself out, she just needs a soft cozy bed to rest and recharge.

Anna

April is a mover and a shaker. She was moving all over the room trying to make friends, which made photographing her difficult. She is an eight-month-old, orange tabby, domestic short-hair, female.

Here is an update to a classic mathematical story. You have two (2) cats, a male and a female, and they have a litter of four kittens in 1999, and you do not sterilize the kittens. Let's say that there are two males and two females. Not knowing the biblical and social rules, these offspring mate, and in 2000 there are three litters of four kittens, one from the original parents, and one from each of the two pairs of kittens. Now you have 18 cats (six to a family, two parents and four kittens). Now it is 2001, and the same thing happens; you now have 54 cats. Does the story take shape in your mind after only three generations?

Spring is the season for doin' what comes naturally, for adolescent humans and all cats. We can persuade or threaten the humans, but those cats.....

If you know someone who has kittens they don't want, please don't let them just toss the kittens out on the street. Get them to contact us. Perhaps we won't be able to find homes for all the kittens, but you won't find them and their offspring on the streets in another year, suffering and causing a problem, or flat.

The shelter has many, many kittens and cats this time of year. We encourage everyone to spay and neuter their pets so that all animals will have good homes and not have to make any shelter their place of residence. In the meantime, stop by to see these lovely kitties who desperately need homes.
