Please Adopt These Kittens From Stevens Swan Humane Society
Who needs another cat in their life?
🙋
Me. I do - but if I brought one home I might be forced to sleep outside.
According to Stevens Swan Humane Society, there are several kittens up for adoption at the moment. Their adoption fees are $80 each and each is spayed/neutered, current on vaccines and microchipped.

You're Adopting a Kitten - Now What?
Be prepared. Kittens (and really cats in general) are sensitive creatures. They are particularly sensitive to new surroundings and some may hide under a bed or in a closet for days or even weeks.
- Do him/she a favor and provide a small area to call his/her own for the first few days or weeks. A bathroom or laundry room works well. Furnish the room with cat amenities, such as food, water and a litter box.
- You’ll want to spend time with your cat, so make sure there’s a comfortable place for you to sit as well.Fill a litter box with one or two inches of litter and place it in his/her room where he/she can use it undisturbed. Privacy is important for them too!
- Set up a feeding station with food and water bowls. Locate it away from the litter box.
- A cat’s claws need to be worn down, and they do this by scratching on things. Since you prefer that it not be your chairs and sofa, provide your cat with a socially acceptable scratching place. You can encourage your cat to use the post by sprinkling it with catnip or dangling a toy at the top. They are smart and will get the idea.
