Inn To Cats

06/25/2026

🙀 Disciplining cats with yelling, sq**rt bottles, or physical punishment can:

🚩 Increase fear and stress
🚩 Lead to more unwanted behaviors
🚩 Damage your bond with your cat
🚩 Make it harder for your cat to learn new habits

Instead of punishment, change your behavior and use positive reinforcement.

Galaxy would make a great addition to someone’s family. Ashleigh was his original foster mom after he came in through one of LC3’s TNR clinics and then he moved onto a new foster with other kittens after his sisters were adopted. Please share to help him find a forever home!

It's ! 💙🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛💛 Knowing an orphaned kitten's age will help you make faster life-saving decisions for them. A kitten's teeth are a great guide to telling age in the first 6 weeks of life — if you know what you're looking at!

Kittens have no teeth from birth until 3 weeks of age, when incisors emerge in the front of their mouth. These teeth are not for eating! 3-week-olds still depend on nursing for all nourishment, but they gain a little independence at this age. Incisors allow them to start grooming themselves. Kittens also begin to toilet on their own, and they take their first wobbly steps.

At 4 weeks, kittens' canines (fangs) come in. They still don't eat solid food, but fangs signify an emerging ability to hunt. 4-week-olds also begin to retract their claws, and their movements become more coordinated. These new assets let kittens begin to practice hunting skills by play-wrestling with their littermates.

At 5 weeks, the premolars (large teeth just behind the fangs) begin to emerge. Premolars are for eating meat, so a healthy kitten with premolars is ready to begin the weaning process. They'll keep honing their hunting skills through vigorous play as their eyesight and muscle coordination continue to mature. Kittens have all 26 of their milk teeth by 6 weeks.

🐈 If you have one or two indoor-only cats between 6 months and 13 years of age, you can help researchers at the University of Edinburgh with a study about environmental enrichment! 😺

Feline expert Professor Danielle Gunn-Moore and her team are investigating the impact of environmental enrichment on the wellbeing of indoor cats. The study will compare four enrichment methods:

🐾 Daily playing using a wand toy
🐾 15 minutes of Cat TV per day
🐾 Installation of a Feliway Diffuser
🐾 Encouraging food foraging

Those who participate will be assigned one of these methods to try over 14 days.

Please consider adopting a few barn cats and help spread the word!

Barn homes needed now! Our fantastic Facebook supporters always come through to help find homes for community cats in need, so let’s do it again!
We have several community cats who need a new home asap. If you or your friends can help save a life by providing a home to an outdoor cat, please contact us! You will need a safe climate controlled area to acclimate your new "barn cat" to its new environment. We will provide guidance and help you set things up so you can work to develop a relationship with your cat, greatly improving the likelihood that they'll stay with you. If you have a barn or outbuilding and need a mouser, or you just want to help save a cat's life, please contact us today!
There is no adoption fee for barn cats. Please like, comment, and share this post.
