Graduation Photos! — Kitten Academy

Once the kittens have reached two pounds in weight -- and learned all their catting lessons -- they are sent to PAWS in Chicago for their spay or neuter, and microchipping. Then they return to the academy for a day or two of recuperation; it doesn't take long for kittens to recover. Finally, they get to spend time at the On Angel's Wings shelter in Crystal Lake. Sometimes, if they're not adopted immediately, they'll get to return to the academy for a few days, so they don't have to be confined in cages at the shelter.

If you're interested in adopting one of this class, now is the time to contact On Angel's Wings. The phone number is (815) 356-8170. Or you can find additional information on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/OnAngelsWingsInc/

Our first class of 2016 is all over 2lbs now, and their trip to PAWS is scheduled for Wednesday the 22nd of June. They'll be at the shelter the weekend of the 25th.
