Welcome to NATURE'S CALLING At Cat Paw Farm

About
We are an holistic and integrative organization with MOTHER NATURE as our Chief Executive Officer.
The past few years have been a trial, and it has been - a wake-up call!
The enormous amount of fear-mongering around health issues has been astounding, and that influence has set our path back to nature - in stone.
(It's terrifying to me what big money, big pharma, and the governments have been allowed to do with our lives.)

COVID-19 changed our lives, as I'm sure it did for so many, and we are rewriting our story!
So here's to 2024: a new path and a new future.
Why are we breeding?
Because our society NEEDS physically and psychologically HEALTHY animal companions.
Not just the ones costing thousands of dollars and not just the ones who have been 'rescued'.
We need intentionally and responsibly bred animals to be our companions and friends.
I don't want them inbred for generations and don't want them stylized without fur, facial structures, or supersized, and I don't want them malnourished, traumatized, and terrified of life.
Every animal deserves to be cared about and have an opportunity to start life 'responsibly bred'!
The more healthy and responsibly bred pets available, the less selfish, irresponsible, and profit-seeking breeding will be accepted.
We are given dire warnings not to breed cats.
These warnings come with many worst-case scenarios, complete with some serious fear-mongering.
"Breeding should only be done to improve the breed, which requires a strong knowledge of the pedigrees …"
"The number of homeless pets, dogs and cats alike, that are unable to find forever homes is heartbreaking."
Of course, there is much more, but these two statements summarise the majority.
There are two camps. "Purebred" are the only ones who should be intentionally bred, and responsible breeding has many rules and regulations to make it worth the cost.
On the other hand, there are far too many animals without homes, and no more should be bred until we find homes for the ones we already have.
The COVID-19 event brought out the worst in the human race as far as our companion animals are concerned.
At the beginning of the shutdown, there were not enough breeders to fill the need, and the shelters were emptied.
People wanted pets to keep them company while they were shut away from everyday life and society.
Then, once the world opened up again, all those animals got dumped at the shelters, and today shelters and rescues are still bursting at the seams.
But where did all these animals come from in the first place?
Irresponsible people allow their pets to reproduce, intentionally or otherwise.
Other irresponsible people get pets from these people and also do irresponsible things - and the cycle never ends.
Really expensive pedigree animals don't usually end up in shelters or abandoned, but too many others do.
There's no responsible middle-of-the-road.
You can spend thousands on a responsibly bred purebred, go online or go to the shelter and 'rescue' one.
Here's a thought. How about we stop taking over the responsibility and picking up the tab for the thousands of selfish and irresponsible people?
The standard of care when breeding pedigree animals is that the breeder is responsible for the animal they intentionally bring onto the planet from the day it is born until the day it leaves Earth.
How about we turn that around?
If you get a pet, it is YOUR responsibility - from the day you choose to bring it into your home until the day it travels over Rainbow Bridge.
They are not toys. They are not something to get one day and put into the recycle box the next week or to leave behind when you choose to move, have a baby, or find a new boy/girlfriend.
They are living, breathing, sentient beings who deserve better - with or without a pedigree behind them.
