Right around the end of the summer last year, several more kittens came to roost at Heavenly.

Meet Arthur, Layla, Jack & Sierra:

Everyone knows that kittens are cute and irresistible, but did you know that most stray kittens normally require at least a month or more of rehabilitation?

 

Typically that’s what happens because they are not so healthy, after all they were homeless and it takes a lot of care to get them ready for a new home. We rely on a high quality diet to

help the kittens make this transition and when you see their sparkling eyes and soft, shining coats, along with spunky, high energy and a good appetite, you know they’re ready.

keep them here safe and protected, in the Heavenly Pet nursery and give them a solid foundation of health and well being for their life ahead. Kittenhood is a precious time!

 

The next step — ADOPTION

Adoption can be fraught with anxiety, but when the right person comes along, it is a joyous celebration of the next step in our kittens’ lives. We always encourage adopting a companion, so they have a lifelong friend and

playmate, but even if that doesn’t happen, as long as it is a forever home, the kitten will thrive.
