❤️🐾❤️HAPPY TAILS❤️🐾

We have an update on Chiclet.

“Ellie (formerly known as Chiclet) has matured into a confident and fearless furry little girl who loves to play. She is endlessly curious and loves to participate in all of our activities around the home. No doubt she can be quite the terror at times, running full speed throughout the house, but she balances that with lots of cuddle time. (Sometimes you can even catch her trying to hang from a chandelier...lol). We are grateful for Allison (foster mom) and the wonderful people at Grateful Paw Cat Shelter for the opportunity to add this precious little furry nutball to our family.“

🐱Kitten🐱 (VS) 🐈Adult🐈

Everyone loves kittens, and they are the first to get adopted. However, people do not realize that they need plenty of supervision and training.

Cons of adopting a kitten
•Kittens take a lot of time and energy for training.
•Kittens require more cleaning and maintenance.
•You need to be home more often to supervise.
•Kittens might be in more danger around children.
•Kittens bite more than adult cats.

Pros of adopting an adult cat
•Adult cats are most likely already trained.
•Adult cats need less supervision and attention.
•Adult cats have developed personalities.

Bear, who turned 1 on October 29th, has been with us since May 5th. He is truly a “Teddy” Bear and would make a wonderful companion.

Remember that kittenhood lasts for a very short time.
