Description:
Tango is a very sweet and outgoing little kitten. He's fantastic with other animals and has been raised in a house with his siblings and dogs. He really enjoys basking in the sun on the porch and is pretty well behaved when it comes to not running up the screen, which is saying quite a bit for a kitten!
Here is the story of Tango and his siblings from his foster, who has cared for them since they were babies:
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 life. They had upper respiratory problems as a lot of rescue kittens do. They basically ate and slept until about 6 weeks and 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 too. Since they have always had each other it would be good to adopt 2 together, or if you have another cat in the house who would accept a companion so they wouldn't be alone.
Tango is the biggest since he is the male cat. He comes when he is called to go to bed better than the other 3. 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 to be rubbed and loved. Midget, who is almost a twin to Annabelle, also likes to be rubbed, held and played with.
An older child would be better for the kittens as they haven't been exposed to young children and come from a quiet house.
Now, Tango and his littermates were exposed when babies to a feline disease called FIP. Thankfully, they have been tested and they are negative (we celebrated when we heard the news) but adopters with other cats should be aware of the situation.
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 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.
