Cat Adoption May Be A Very Enriching And Rewarding Experience

By Robert Baker


There are many ways in which people acquire new pets. If you want to bring a kitty into your home and provide a good life for it, one of your options is cat adoption.

On the humanitarian side, not just the practical one, kittens are found in great numbers in classified ads, animal shelters and foster homes. They are crying out for a home of their own, the loving one you can provide them.

Spaying a neutering is a very important part of reducing the numbers of unwanted animals who have no homes. When you choose to adopt, the facility will usually provide you with a cat that has already been "fixed". If the animal has not been altered before you take it home, they will probably give you a voucher that you can take to your vet to have the operation performed. The cost for surgery is usually included in the adoption fee.

No matter what kind of cat you're looking for, you're sure to find one that will fit into your life perfectly. When choose to go this route you're doing many cats a favor, not just the one you've chosen to love.

Sometimes people will buy purebred cats, only to find out later that they were not prepared to care for it the way they need to. Many of these people end up taking their purebred cats to shelters and they become available for people to adopt at a much more reasonable price. Being unwanted is not just a mixed breed problem. Although you're not as likely to find a purebred up for adoption, it is still possible. One interesting thing you may like to know, is that mixed breed animals tend to have less health problems. You may want to keep that in mind when making your choice.

When you choose to adopt as opposed to buying from someone, you're doing a small part to help take some cats off the streets who are capable of creating more kittens that add to the misery and suffering. You're not only saving the life of the one cat you bring home, you're also helping to make life better for many other felines.
