Description:
Mady is an exceptionally sweet and loving kitten. Her foster says it best: Her face is so sweet and you can't help but pick her up and give her a big squeeze.
Here is the story of Mady and her siblings from her foster, who has had her since she was a baby:
I took home the 4 kittens at about 2 weeks old and had to bottle feed and keep them on a heating pad the next couple weeks of their lives. They had upper respiratory problems as a lot of rescue kittens do. They basically ate and slept until about 6 weeks old, and then they started playing with each other. They play very well together and with the other adult cats they grew up with. They have also been exposed to several dogs and get along with them also. Since they have always had each other it would be good to adopt 2 together, or if you have a cat in the house who would accept another cat so they wouldn't be alone. An older child would be better for the kittens as they haven't been exposed to young children and come from a quiet house.
Tango is the biggest since he is the male cat. He comes when he is called and is much better about bedtime than his siblings. Mady is laid back and a little lover. She is the smallest and loves to cuddle and likes our little dog to rub up against. Annabelle has gotten to where she comes up to us to be rubbed and loved. Midget, who is almost a twin to Annabelle, also likes to be rubbed, held, and played with.
As a baby, she was exposed to the disease FIP but has not shown any symptoms, and two of her siblings have tested negative. Adopters with other kitties should be aware and check with their vets if they have any questions.
Our rescue has a very strict "do not declaw" policy. Why? For several reasons. Firstly, it takes away the cat's natural defenses and ability to climb. If the cat should escape from the safety of a home, it is left defenseless. Additionally, the procedure itself is quite cruel. Many have the impression that declawing is comparable to trimming finger nails, but to the contrary, it is comparable to having a finger amputated at the first joint! This can have severe and permanent physical and psychological effects on a cat.
So how can cats and furniture peacefully co-exist? One thing is to provide the cat with plenty of scratching posts. They don't have to be a lot of money - the corrogated cardboard products available at local pet stores seems to be very popular with many cats. Additionally some wood, carpet scraps and a couple of nails make a great scratching post! Keeping the cats claws trimmed can be very helpful. And placing double sided tape or tin foil on furniture that seems to be especially interesting to cats can be a major deterrant, as is a well-timed squirt with a water gun.
There are many effective alternatives to declawing. And leaving your cat with claws will keep your kitty happy and safe for years to come.
