Fun Bio: Finneas is a playful kitten who adores his family. He is the perfect family pet. He escorts me to all areas of the house to ensure I am never alone. Just making eye contact with him makes him turn into a purr machine. He exudes pure love all the time and does well with other animals and children. He loves children, doesnt mind being handled, and even his warnings are gentle. Adopt this sweet boy and you wont be left wanting!

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 cats nails without harm.
