There are various situations to consider before adopting a life long friend. It can happen to the best of us. You see a cute, tiger-striped kitten with white paws and green eyes, just begging for attention. You take one look, and the next thing you know, you're walking down the pet food aisle at the supermarket or pharmacy.
If you're like most of us, falling in love with a pet is easy. And no wonder! Sharing your home with a four-legged friend can be one of life's greatest joys. Cats and other pets give us unconditional loyalty and acceptance, provide constant companionship, and even help relieve stress after a hard day's work.
Sure, it's a long list of questions. But a quick stroll through a cat shelter will help you understand why answering them before you adopt is so important.
Many shelters have homeless cats and kittens who are victims of irresponsible people who allowed their pets to breed or didn't get them spayed before they became pregnant. But there are at least as many cats at the shelter who are more than a year old-cats who were obtained by people who didn't think through the responsibilities of pet ownership before they got the cat.
Please, don't make the same mistake. Think before you adopt. Sharing your life with a companion cat can bring incredible rewards, but only if you're willing to make the necessary commitments of time, money, responsibility and love-for the life of the pet.
If one of our available cats/kittens tugs at your heart and you would like to meet him or her, please fill out an Adoption Application.
