๐Putting out some Pre-feelers to prepare for some special kiddos soon to be available for adoption ๐
Meet Dettol, an 8 week old female kitten & her brother Dustpan, an 8 week old male kitten! This dynamic, troublesome pair are looking for a special place.
Dettol has a little corkscrew tail, Corkscrew tail kittens are kittens born with a tail that twists, curls, or kinks instead of growing straight. This happens because the tail vertebrae didnโt form in a straight line before birth. Itโs usually congenital (theyโre born that way), not caused by injury. In many cases itโs purely cosmetic and doesnโt bother the kitten at all. The tail may feel lumpy, zig-zagged, or tightly curled and often stays that way for life.
Important note:
While most corkscrew or kinked tails are harmless, very tight or shortened tails can occasionally be linked to spinal issues. For that reason, a vet check is recommended, especially if the kitten shows pain, weakness, or trouble with mobility.
For the vast majority, though, they grow up to be perfectly healthy cats with a quirky, adorable tail! ๐พ
๐พ Indoor-Only Homes Wanted for Our Special White Kittens ๐พ
We are searching for strictly indoor homes for our beautiful white, hearing-impaired kittens, and we want to explain why this is absolutely essential for their safety and wellbeing.
๐ค Why white cats need protection; White cats are far more vulnerable to sunburn and skin cancer, especially on their ears, nose, eyelids, and lips. Their lack of pigment means they have little to no natural protection from UV rays. Even short, repeated exposure to sunlight can cause painful burns that may later develop into squamous cell carcinoma, a serious and often fatal form of skin cancer in cats.
Keeping them indoors drastically reduces this risk and gives them the long, healthy lives they deserve.
๐ Why being deaf changes everything; These kittens are hearing impaired, which makes outdoor life extremely dangerous. Deaf cats cannot:
โขHear cars approaching
โขHear dogs, people, or other animals
โขHear warning sounds or threats
โขRespond when called or alerted to danger
They rely heavily on sight and vibration, which is not enough protection in an outdoor environment. A deaf cat outside is at constant risk without ever knowing danger is coming.
๐ก Indoor life = safe, happy, full lives. Deaf cats adapt beautifully indoors. They are affectionate, playful, confident, and bond deeply with their people. With routine, visual cues, and enrichment, they thrive just like any other catโoften even more closely attached to their humans.
โจ These kittens are not โless than.โ They are special, loving, and completely capable, they just need the right environment.
If you can offer:
โขA strictly indoor home
โขLove, patience, and enrichment
โขUnderstanding of their unique needs
โฆyou may be exactly who theyโre waiting for.
Please reach out if youโd like to learn more or apply to adopt.
Sharing this post also helps their perfect homes find them. ๐ค๐พ
