You probably already know that Claws N Paws Day Spa offers pet grooming services in Orange County, CA. What you might not realize is that we also offer rescued cats and kittens for adoption. These felines come from a variety of different places. Some are given to us by their owners when they are unable to care for them anymore. Many others were found as newborns. We bottle-feed and socialize these babies until they are ready to find homes.

Cat and Kitten Rescue is Expensive

It’s expensive for us to rescue and care for abandoned animals. Cats require food, litter and medical care. Newborn kittens require formula as well. Kitten formula costs just as much, if not more, than human baby formula. While we do receive donations occasionally, most of the costs are paid for from our own pockets. With proper support, we can care for more animals.

Support Our Rescue

One of the easiest ways to support our rescue is by shopping at This N That Consignment Shop for your pet supplies. This N That is located just two doors down from our grooming salon. They offer brand new pet supplies such as carriers, collars, leashes, toys and more.

When you purchase pet supplies from This N That Consignment, 100% of the profits are given to our rescue. As an added bonus, This N That is offering 20% off your purchase of $20 or more during the month of June! There’s never been a better time to shop.

Of course, there are other ways you can support our rescue. Consider donating used blankets or towels. We also accept cat and kitten food, litter and toys. If you would prefer, we take cash donations as well. Anything you can offer us will help! When you donate towards our rescue you can rest assured that all donations go directly to our rescued cats and kittens.

When shopping for pet supplies this summer, consider checking This N That Consignment Shop first. You’ll love the fun and friendly atmosphere of the shop. You might also find something you can’t live without!

Visit Claws N Paws Day Spa to see our rescued cats and kittens. Please call 714-962-1005 for more information.

Why You Should Consider Adopting Two Adult Cats

Why You Should Consider Adopting Two Adult Cats

In shelters and rescue facilities everywhere people gravitate towards kittens and puppies, ignoring all of the older animals.  While it’s wonderful that more people are choosing to adopt, there are many benefits to adding an adult pet to your family. Even better, when you add two adult cats you save two lives and bring twice as much unconditional love into your life. Let’s discuss the many benefits of adopting two adult cats.

Even though adult cats don’t seem to need as much attention as kittens, all pets thrive when they receive lots of attention and stimulation. Cats are far less likely to engage in destructive behaviors when they have another cat to play with.

Numerous studies have found that when a cat shares its home with another cat, both cats are happier and healthier. Cats that live with a friend are sick less often, have shorter hospital stays and live longer.

Since adult cats have already developed their personalities, you will know if the cat you are interested in prefers the company of other cats or not. When you adopt from a rescue you get the benefit of finding out which cats do best together. Many times, adult cats at the rescue will already be bonded with another cat.

Consignment 101

Consignment is when a shop sells goods for the original owner. The owner of the consignment shop keeps ownership of the items until they are sold. The owner of the goods pays a small fee to the consignment shop in return for selling their gently used items.

Consignment shops are locally owned businesses. Each shop carries its own policies for consignment. It is important to research the shops policies before committing.

Typically you drop your gently used items at a consignment shop for a 30, 60 or 90 day period. If your item doesn’t sell within that time period, it might be discounted by the shop owner. When your items sell you will be charged a commission, which the shop collects as its profit. Most consignment shops will offer you more money for your items if you are willing to take in-store credit instead of cash. When you visit a consignment shop every item for sale items will generally have an identification code on the tag to identify the party that gets credit for the sale.

In recent years consignment shops have become extremely popular across the country. These small boutique type shops provide customers with fantastic deals on quality merchandise. In addition, they provide sellers with an outlet to showcase their gently used items and even make a profit from them. Consignment shops have continued to increase in popularity since the recession. Buyers everywhere love to search consignment shops for unique items at affordable prices and sellers are always looking to make some extra cash in any way possible. Consignment shops today are booming businesses with loyal customers on both ends of the spectrum.

Why It’s a Good Idea to Consign Your Gently Used Items

Consignment is good for both you and the environment. For you, it keeps your closets full of only the things that you actually use and love. It simplifies your life and saves you time that would otherwise be spent maintaining your under-appreciated possessions. But perhaps the biggest benefit when you consign your gently used items is that it effectively turns your clutter into cash.

Consignment is basically recycling your gently used items. We all know that recycling is good for the planet. But what you might not realize is exactly how much recycling can help. For example, in Third World countries half of all pesticides are used on cotton fields. When you recycle just one gently used cotton outfit you help to save a full pound of chemical fertilizer and pesticide from ever being released into the soil, water and atmosphere.

Recycling is good for you, your family and your wallet. Recycling keeps your house free from clutter and frees up your time. Besides, it’s much easier to find exactly what you want every time if you don’t have to dig through piles of stuff.

Even though consigning your unloved items probably won’t make you rich, it will provide you with a welcome rebate on past purchases that turned out to be not so perfect. The money earned from consignment can then be used in the consignment shop on something that you really love.

It’s “Kitten Season”

It’s “Kitten Season”

For rescue groups throughout Southern California summer is well known as “kitten season”. The warm summer months act as a catalyst, bringing intact females into heat every three weeks. In fact just one female cat can produce two litters of kittens between May and October. If you’ve ever visited an animal shelter or rescue center in June you can clearly see that they are overrun with kittens. Unfortunately most of the kittens born during kitten season are euthanized due to lack of space in the shelters. The mother cats don’t fare well either. Most people looking to adopt will gravitate towards the cute fluffy kittens, ignoring the mother cats and the other adult cats in the shelter. The sad truth is that euthanasia rates for cats in shelters raise significantly during the summer.

Concerned animal lovers can take a stand against the animal overpopulation problem during kitten season. Here are the top ways that you can help:

  • Spay or neuter your cat even if it never goes outside
  • Donate funds or supplies to your local cat rescue
  • If you know how, volunteer to bottle-feed homeless kittens for your local cat rescue
  • Volunteer to foster a litter of kittens or an adult cat during kitten season
  • Consider adopting your own cat
  • Support local businesses that support cat rescue efforts

Perhaps one of the best ways to help during kitten season is to spread the word about the importance of spaying and neutering cats. While some people believe that just one litter of kittens won’t cause much of a problem, one female cat and her offspring can quickly produce thousands of cats.

The Difference Between a Consignment Shop and a Thrift Shop

Most people don’t fully understand the difference between a consignment shop and a thrift shop. The major difference is that consignment shops get to choose the items that they consign and offer for sale. Many consignment shops will ask you to make an appointment to bring things in and will typically sort things by season. Consignment shop owners are extremely careful about what they take for consignment and will not accept items that are poor quality. Consignment shops pay you for your gently used items and will often offer you a tax credit for donating your unsold items to their shop. Consignment shops, when managed well, are a lovely place to visit and shop for quality, recycled items.

Thrift shops are often overloaded, disorderly and overwhelming to shop in. Because thrift shops only sell donated items they are not able to be as selective as a consignment shop. Thrift stores typically offer many different types of items for sale such as clothing, accessories, dishes, bakeware, books, games, furniture and more. Although thrift stores usually have good prices, their items are often not as good or long lasting as those purchased in a consignment shop.

One benefit of both thrift stores and consignment shops is that you can purchase green, recycled products. This is an excellent way to save money and help the environment at the same time.
