Cat or Kitten-Which Should You Adopt?

	Young kittens should not be adopted as “only pets.”  These babies need the play skills, comfort, and social skillbuilding that can only come from living with another cat or kitten.  We work with adopters to educate them in this regard and do not place one small kitten alone in a home.  An existing family cat serves the need, although people often return for a second youngster after discovering that the little one is driving a more sedate, older cat nuts.  Babies need much more playtime for good health than the average person understands and suffer from the lack thereof when adopted alone.  People are not equipped to supply the many hours of rough and tumble exercise that a second kitten can, nor should they assume that role.  Exercise aside, the comfort of another animal to a kitten just removed from its littermates is simply humane. ~Cat Fancy June or July 2009
	DeeDee    Born about  1/6/10 to a neighborhood cat that someone left behind.  She was the only kitten in the litter and survived that very bad cold spell in January.  One of the neighbors took in the stray and gave PAWS the kitten.  She is adorable and will be ready for a new home about the middle of March.     Kittens do better in pairs, and after Dot was adopted with one of her brothers, that left DeeDee and Desi both on their own.  Desi is DeeDee's buddy now and they get along great.             Contact Karen at: paws50@bellsouth.net
	Desi    These Maine Coon mixed medium haired kittens were born 12/15 to a mom cat that was left behind after her owners moved out. She was left to defend herself and try to find food for herself and her young kittens in the very cold 2 weeks of Janurary. Luckily someone left their garage door opened and she brought all the kittens inside.  This person called PAWS and we took the kittens.  Mom cat is going to be spayed and they are going to keep her.  Sibling to Dot, Dash, Dex, and Ditto.       Desi is the brown tabby with no white on the nose.  His four siblings have been adopted.  Since kittens do better when with others their age, and since one of the adopted siblings was DeeDee's buddy, Desi has been paired with DeeDee so both have someone to play with.  They get along great.       Contact Karen at: paws50@bellsouth.net
	Joshua DOB appx 7/15/09. DSH smoke tabby tuxedo neutered male.      This litter was found on the street with their mom, eating at a feral cat colony. Mom was feral for sure, the kittens were so small (5 weeks) they were hand caught by the caregiver. They tamed up in 10 minutes!  Sibling to Julia who has already been adopted.    A cat who is a smoke color means their fur looks like the color of charcoal, not quite fully black, and when you rub the fur backwards, it's white underneath!!  It's a rare color. They are from the same stray cat area as Pretty Girl so we are pretty sure they are 'cousins'. When the mother of the foster mom brought her dog over, he was totally unfazed.  We believe he would be ok with dogs. Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Freda DOB appx July 2009, DSH lilac point siamese, spayed female, we got his litter when we responded to a "free kittens" sign by the road. The lady now has all her stray cats fixed, thanks to our local spay neuter programs for strays and ferals (via Space Coast Feline Network). This little girl is a quite shy but loves to be petted, if you can catch her! So, she hasn't really tamed up, and now that she is older, she is more skittish than ever. So we are looking to put her into a feral colony -- must be an indoor one, if she goes outdoors, with her light coloring, she would be owl or hawk bait.  Her brother Frodo also needs a place to go, he did not tame up either. Her momcat was caught and tested for Feline Leukemia so we are all set.  Sibling to Freddy, Frank and Frodo.     Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Freddy DOB appx July 2009. We got his litter when we responded to a 'free kittens' sign by the road. The lady now has all her stray cats fixed, thanks to our local spay neuter programs for strays and ferals (via Space Coast Feline Network).  This little outgoing boy is something else!  A short haired black kitten, neutered male.    Their mom was caught and tested for Feline Leukemia so we are all set.  Sibling to Freddy, Freda and Frodo.      Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Frodo DOB appx July 2009. DSH grey neutered male. Frodo is still shy and practially feral so we need a colony where he can live is life out safely. He has been vaccinated for rabies, and we will have him eartipped. Who has a feral colony?  We'd like to try to find him an indoor colony if possible.  Despite efforts, we have been unable to tame him.     We got his litter when we responded to a 'free kittens' sign by the road. The lady now has all her stray cats fixed, thanks to our local spay neuter programs for strays and ferals (via Space Coast Feline Network). Their mom was caught and tested for Feline Leukemia so we are all set.  Siblings to Freda, Frank, and Freddy.     Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com
	Clara DOB appx 9/17/09 DSH blue/cream tabby female. We pulled her from the county shelter, she is VERY sweet. Clara is a very playful kitten. she is fostered with cissy and harvey. Recently clara was playing so hard she fell awkwardly off the bed and fractured her leg! the vet said it's the most common fracture kittens get, and a simple splint was put on her leg.

	Penzy    DOB appx June 2009, DSH calico classic torbie spayed female - never quite seen markings like this, like she was splashed with black paint!  Very unique!!   Not huge on being held, likes to be petted and OK with large (Great Danes) dogs and other cats. Contact Mona at: meowmail1@gmail.com.
	Peaches DOB approx 10/15/09, female DSH tortie tuxedo Manx.  Peaches was found on the side of the road by a nice family all alone cold and scared. The family took her in but could not keep her permanently because they already had three pets. The called PAWS to see if we could take her and find her a new home to call her own. She is a cute little thing. She has such petite features on her face. She looks like she has tortie colored pajamas on. She is very vocal and playful as you can see in the pictures.  She is adjusting to my home with many cats as good as could be expected. She would much rather have her own home with her own toys and bed that she didn't have to share. Right now she is happy to be warm and safe. Her  fur is silky soft and she actually has a little nub of a tail. She is very good with her front paws which is a trait of her breed. She would make such a great addition to a family. She has been around children and dogs. I think she could adjust well to most situations.    Contact Lynn at: bluemoonwolf@earthlink.net
	Achilles and Phedre    DSH grey tabby tuxedos born mid-August 2009.  In both pictures, the female, Phedre, is on the left; the male, Achilles, is on the right.  Their markings are almost identical, but Phedre's eyes are amber, and Achilles eyes are green.       Achilles is a playful and affectionate.  He and one of his sisters, Phedre, were adopted but now the adopters are not able to care for them.  Phedre is a sweet and loving.              Achilles loves attention and being around people.  He will greet you at the door when you come home and then follow you around the house, meowing, to see what you are doing.  He loves being picked up and petted, and will crawl into your lap and nap on your chest, purring contently.   Achilles is very easy-going and gets along well with other cats and children.          Phedre is an adorable girl and has the cutest high-pitched meow that sounds almost like a little squeak.  She is a little more reserved and independent than her brother, Achilles.  She doesn’t like being picked up very much but she does enjoy being petted and will often sleep curled up to people or other cats.          Achilles and Phedre have been together since birth and they are very attached to one another.  They sleep together, cuddle together, eat together, and play together.  Keeping them with each other would be ideal, but they are available for adoption separately.                Contact Karen at: paws50@bellsouth.net
