Description:

WANT TO ADOPT?

THEN.....READ THE POLICIES BELOW BEFORE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION

PAWS adopts out kittens in pairs, or adopts to a home with another young kitty (3 yrs or so). Applications for single kittens will not be considered, and due to the number of kittens in 2021* we will not be able to respond if you request a single kitten only. 

*due to COVID & lack of spay/neuter in 2020, rescues are slammed with 2021 kittens.

Here is why we adopt in pairs -- this is the best article we have found to explain:

HERE IS THE BIO FOR GRETEL: 


Gretel and her littermates (Gidget, Gerard, Geoffrey) were found in the middle of a street, someone dumped them and a couple other cats .... sadly, both had been hit (feral cats are used to cars, tame cats don't know the danger and often this is the result).

Luckily someone scooped up the kittens and got them to us. We were told they were feral but realized soon that they are not, they are ok with humans and not hissing etc. They are just scared at the  new environment. Not to mention someone weaned them way too early (4 weeks).

So, this is why in the photos they have food on their noses. At this age they dunk their nose into the canned food (they have not got the hang of eating crunchies just yet).  

Doing the math, if they grow at the normal / average rate, they should be ready toward the middle of October (we have no way to determine how fast they will grow).

They have flea meds put on, and have been tested negative for Feline Leukemia and FIV. Vaccines won't start for another couple weeks. We will be worming them in the next few days.

Gretel is the most timid of the crew, so we are working with her to be more comfortable with humans.


STEPS TO APPLY FOR A KITTY:

If you are interested in adopting, please go to www.pawsfla.com and click on the Adoption Policy menu, from there you will find the online application link. 

The adoption process typically goes as follows:
- you submit an application
- foster mom reviews, and will contact you by email
- upon approval, foster mom will coordinate an adoption location/time.... or your deposit to hold young kittens
- foster mom will email, call or text to coach as needed to help integrate your new kitty
