He is the quintessential lap dog as really wants to be on his persons lap, and he even likes to be curled up in a sling to be carried around. He does fine with other dogs, but he would prefer they be smaller dogs. Ernie will be neutered and up to date on shots.

Cat Declawing: The Price of Convenience

Considering whether to declaw your cat or not? The declawing of cats is still routinely performed in this country, even though it is illegal or considered inhumane in many other countries around the world. Most people decide to have their cats declawed as a matter of convenience to protect their furniture from cat scratching or to guard against injury to themselves and family members. Many however may not realize how painful this is for cats. People who declaw their cats also may not be aware that the surgery can cause more problems than it solves. Cats deprived of their front claws may develop an aversion to the litter box. Their paws remain sensitive from the surgery, so they avoid scratching in their litter and may begin eliminating around the house instead.

Love Black Cats? So does science!

While myths about black cats being bad luck are still prevalent, you might be surprised to hear they may actually be the more fortunate of the felines. Research has shown that the genes associated with black color also make the cats’ immune systems stronger. They tend to be more resistant to diseases like FIV than other cats, thus black cats tend to be healthier than other color cats.

We have many black cats that are looking for forever homes. Come out to our Cat Adoption Center next Saturday (October 3rd) 12-4pm to meet these black beauties, or apply online at www.maarcadopt.org/adopt and we’ll schedule a meet and greet!
