This blog is going to be about cats. Just cats. How to introduce cats to new creatures, working on behavioral problems, troubleshooting some basic medical issues, and ultimately, discussing what questions readers like you have about cats.


One of the hardest parts of working in a shelter is that people sometimes give up cats without knowing what to try first, as the information isn’t out there and people are at their wits end by the time they contact a shelter. That is what birthed this blog; the desire to help people keep their feline friends in their homes through education. People sometimes need some help and I aim to provide some options and ideas when problems start, and before the thought to surrender occurs.


Every situation is slightly different, so any questions or comments about topics are welcome. If there are other fur babies out there that are going through something that you would like to discuss then please reach out so we can all learn something new!


Talk to you soon! ^-^

Cats ARE NOT Dogs.

First I would commit to cutting your cat's nails at least once a month, I have found that with this commitment the nails never get that very sharp tip and it can protect both furniture and you, as well as minimize damage from scratching.

There are also nail caps for cat nails that can be glued on if your cat is tolerant and you want to go that route.

Next, I would recommend getting multiple types of scratchers. Cats are picky, and if the specific texture they'd like is not in scratcher form they will find it elsewhere. A good start is a rope tube, cardboard, weaved option and some different shapes such as scratching options on a cat tower…
