Kira needs a new home now.

Kira is a sweet, loving, and communicative kitty. She is a Calico, and appears to have been abandoned since she's very trusting now of people and not at all skiddish like she used to be. She's always purring, always down for a petting. She's box trained, and doesn't scratch up anything in the house (except for her favorite chair, but that's because we haven't gotten her a scratcher). She is very mellow and knows her new name now. She's as obedient as cats go, and very, very gentle. Adoption fee waived. Her child's name is Sammie.

Free to a Good Home ...

If you find yourself in a situation where you must find a home for a pet, please remember one thing. Never give an animal away for free!

You should always charge at least $25 per animal.

Why? Because there are many people who use "free to good home" ads to collect free cats, kittens and dogs and then sell them to research labs. They usually get about $20 dollars a piece. Thus, $25 is the least you should charge.

Even worse, there are people involved in dog fighting that will use cats, kittens, and dogs to "train" pitbulls for dogfighting. Other people just enjoy torturing animals. So as you can see, "Free to good home" ads are a very bad idea!

Don't feel bad for charging a fee. If you do, you can donate the money to an animal rescue.

Obviously you don't have to charge a close friend or family member. But if a stranger wants your pet, remember to charge them an adoption fee.
