She’s a very nice kitty if anyone is looking.

Bievenue Nova!

Nova came as an expectant mom, giving birth to 4 kittens a few days later. A good mama, she is now ready for a home of her own. She loves to play and hang out with her people and is always available for a "chat". She enjoys having snuggle time and will ask for a snack when she is feeling hungry (which was a lot with the kittens). She has previously been with young children, other cats and a small dog but it is recommended that there be a slow introduction with any new environment.

Adoption Info:
Adoption Fee: $250
Includes:
Spay
Permanent ID (Microchip and Tattoo)
Current on vaccines at time of adoption
Flea and Dewormed treated
Adoption Kit

New mask policy? I'm all ears!

Starting today, we are adjusting our mask policy for the clinic. Masks are now optional for our reception area and exam rooms. Our staff are happy to wear masks in the exam rooms, or accommodate curbside service, on request. Please reach out to a team member if you have any questions. Our deepest gratitude to our wonderful staff and clients for their support over these last few years.

Embrace the forage!

I'm super excited to share this post! I have been working on this for a long time. I wanted to first give a shout out to my inspirations if I may. I was inspired to create this after seeing the awesome Play Infographic work of Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin and Dr. Mikel Delgado of What Your Cat Wants, but that inspiration combined with getting to know .png’s art really brought it together. This is the same artist who has created images for my Fundamentally Feline t-shirts and other swag items. She is so talented! My hope is to bring you an entire series of these on a variety of topics (in all of my spare time!)

Please share far and wide. If you are a vet clinic, shelter or rescue group and you would like to have a poster for your space, please visit my printful shop to purchase a full sized poster (12x18). Here is that link https://www.fundamentallyfeline.com/products/foraging-101-infographic/
