WE HAVE KITTENS, BUCKETS FULL OF KITTENS FOR ADOPTION!!!!! COME AND SEE THEM ON JULY 3rd and 4th AT PETSMART in Sacramento on Natomas Road. There should be more than 20 kittens up for adoption.
Nationwide, the number of animals abandoned because of foreclosure is on the rise. Katmom receives 5 to 10 calls a week asking us to take in a cat or dog because someone is losing their home. Currently, we are unable to take in any other animals because we are extremely full. Most of the calls we receive are cats that are older and most of our adopters want kittens. Some of these cats have never been socialized and when introduced to a new person they hide; most adopters do not want a shy cat and only a few will give the cat a month or more to come around and work through their shyness. Some of the cats we have will never be a lap cat or a cat that you will be able to pick up and carry, BUT they will make great companions for your cat or dog to play with.
It is easy to take a cute kitten home they usually have no baggage attached to them. That is just adopting a new pet. It is a true rescue when it is an animal with some baggage because you help her/him work through their troubles or it is okay with you that they are not that perfect pet you always wanted; you can always adopt one of those. Right now these cats need those of us that are doing okay (while others lose there homes) to help by adopting one of them, giving her/him a loving, patient, forgiving and forever home.
Our Featured Pet Dog...
Our Pet Dog of the month is "Matters"
He is a Border Collie/Dutch Shepherd Mix. I was owner surrendered at Petsmart. I am a very friendly, and playful dog. I love to be with people, and am not sure how to play with other animals. I need to go through puppy training to learn what to do to have good manners. I am active and would be really good with someone who jogs, walks or runs. I am a very smart dog, and a little stubborn. I am learning to be crate trained and doing pretty well.
Our Featured Pet Cat...
Our Pet Cat of the month is "Hampton"
Hampton was taken in at two weeks with his 5 siblings and mom, 2 yrs ago. Why he is still with KATMOM, I do not know. Hampton has a minor case of an eye infection known as rhinotracheitis virus (feline herpesvirus type 1). This is not contagious to humans or to cats that have had their annual vaccines, it only makes Hampton's eyes water when he gets stressed out.. With the help of L-Lysine, Hampton has been able to keep his water eyes under control. Hampton can be shy at first and may take some time to adjust to a new home, but he has a lot of love to give. He gets along with other cats and dogs. He loves playing with the Chihuahuas at his foster home, but he does not love large dogs. Hampton needs a home that is understanding to his being shy at first. He is a lovebug of a cat. He loves to play with the laser light on the floor.
Dogdad grew out of Katmom's rescue efforts. We began rescuing small dogs
and puppies when we would go and rescue cats and kittens on location. Since
Dogdad's inception, we have networked with Animal Control offices up and
down the State of California saving many dogs from the fate of the state
system.
In 2006-07 KATMOM was able to TNR more than 200 cats and was able to place over 1100 cats and kittens into loving homes.
In 2006-07 Dogdad was also able to rescue and place 250 dogs into new loving homes.
So far in 2008 we have TNR 100 cats and placed over 300 cats/kittens and 30 dogs into new loving homes.

We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.
