October Adoption Promotion
|
Halloween is one of the favorite observances for many people, and we are celebrating it all month long with an adoption special on all cats with orange fur. It may be scary to think of bringing a new pet home, but it's usually very rewarding for people and animals alike!
Visit our website to
view all our cats available for adoption.
Note: our standard adoption screening process applies to this promotion. Further, for cats age ten and older and cats with chronic medical problems we offer our Perpet-U-Care Program which provides
$250 of veterinary care services at the CCS Cat Clinic annually.

Gizmo is ready for her forever home! She is an active and playful 11 year old who is looking for a home to rule. Gizmo promises to be a kind and gentle ruler, as long as you accept her as being always in the right and the eternally lovely queen! Gizmo loves to run and play, and watching her you would never believe she is an older lady. She came in as a stray who we had spayed and microchipped at our clinic years ago. We weren't able to contact her previous family, so she stayed here with us. Gizmo would need to be the only cat in a home as she does not get along well with other cats. Come in and meet Gizmo today...she's waiting for you!

Some Interesting Facts about Cats
|
The ability of a cat to find its way home is called "psi-traveling." Experts think cats either use the angle of the sunlight to find their way or that cats have magnetized cells in their brains that act as compasses.
Cats' purrs are more than a way to communicate. Bio-acoustics researchers believe that purring heals cats, as frequencies between 24-140 vibrations per minute have been found to aid bone growth, and the repair of muscles and tendons. Purring also eases breathing, and reduces pain and swelling.
A cat's nose has a unique pattern of bumps and ridges. No two cats share the same nose print just as the human fingerprint pattern is unique from all others.
One of the reasons a kitten sleeps so much is because it releases a growth hormone during sleep.
