This brings up a question, though. I'm a first-time cat owner. My furry pal adopted me about eight years ago. A few cat "experts" have told me not to bathe him (no skin off mine ... the few times I did bathe him sucked equally for us both). Is that correct?
Not sure if I’m an “expert” but cats generally do a good job of keeping themselves clean, but for various reasons listed, there will be occasions you'll need to bathe your kitty;
The cat has got something poisonous on its fur. It doesn't take care of its coat as normal cats do. You are allergic and need to bathe it to keep allergens down. The cat is a show cat and about to be shown. You are giving it a flea, tick, worm, or lice dip. It is unusually dirty for some reason (In my case no momma cat to keep kittens poop free).
PAWS Animal Shelter is a non-profit, who relies solely on donations, adoption fees and the generosity of the caring members of our community to sustain their mission as a NO-KILL rescue and adoption shelter. All the kittens you see on my blog are available for adoption along with the many more cats and kittens waiting for homes at our shelter located at 1741 Willamette Falls Drive, West Linn, OR 97068. For questions about adoption please e-mail Sharon at paws@dslnorthwest.net.
Interested in Getting Involved?
PAWS has many volunteer opportunities to suit many different lifestyles, skills and interests. It is vitally important that each volunteer realize that his or her participation is critical to the success of our rescue work. No matter how small or insignificant you may feel your role might be, we are relying upon you our volunteers.
