Why is there an adoption fee?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Spaying and neutering have a number of health benefits for your pets including extending their life span.

Why does my adopted pet need to be spayed or neutered?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Adoption fees help cover the medical expenses we incur in caring for the animals we rescue. All animals adopted out are up-to-date with vaccinations and are spayed\/neutered prior to adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clawing is a natural, healthy and normal behavior. Declawed cats often become more aggressive and are more likely not to use a litter box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps avoid the heartbreak of returned pets.  Please note: Our adoption process includes a home visit; we also ask for a both a veterinary and personal reference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
