Meet Mickey and Sylvia­ Two Gentle Babies!
Available for adoption at Cat Connection until Saturday, December 11th!

Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Color: Brown Tabby
Sex: 1 Male and 1 Female
Age: 5 Months
Comments: We have been fixed, had two of our shots and have been tested for feline leukemia.

We are two fanciful felines that are ready for anything. We are both very playful and love to pounce on shiny toys. We also enjoy our quiet time and love to snuggle up in your arms or lap. We are looking for a nice warm place to call home for Christmas and the rest of our lives.

Both of us cuties don’t mind sharing our new home with other cats, and we think we will do well with a well-mannered dog. We would really like to go to a new home together, because after all, the best toy for a new kitten is another kitten. If you can’t take us home together, we would at least like to live with another cat that will help us to burn off that extra energy.

Cat Grooming and General Care Tips
Keep your kitty healthy and happy!

Cats clean themselves, why should I groom them? We see our cats spending a lot of time each day licking and cleaning themselves. There are various reasons; however, your cat still needs your grooming assistance to stay healthy and happy. Grooming accomplishes much more than just making your cats’ coat look nice and shiny. It also stimulates circulation, removes loose hair, reduces shedding and helps prevent matting.

Regular Grooming
Regular grooming will also provide you with the opportunity to spend more "quality time" with your cat, combing, brushing and generally bonding with him. You will also be able to check your cat closely for any problems while grooming. Move the hair aside and examine the skin closely for signs of fleas and ticks. Check also for any unusual problems with the coat such as mats, tangles, skin irritations, etc. Should you notice matting, try to gently comb the mat out but never use scissors to cut out the mat. Cat's skin is very thin and can be cut easily resulting in a trip to your vet and daily treatments to heal the wound. If you are not able to remove the mat, schedule a grooming appointment online with Cat Connection to give your kitty professional care.
