Celebrate National Adopt a Cat Month
Celebrate National Adopt a Cat Month
In honor of National Adopt a Cat Month, it's time to celebrate our feline friends. Did you know that owning a cat lowers your heart attack and stroke risk? If you've thought about adding a new cat to your family, look at the shelters first. After all, over 3 million cats end up in shelters each year.
Adopt a Cat and Save Lives
Adoption gives stray and surrendered cats a second chance at a loving home. Shelters are packed with too many cats to keep up with, and out of the millions of cats in the shelter; many don't make it. Unfortunately, many animal shelters don't have a choice but to implement euthanasia to cut down on the feline population. The more people adopt, the more cats receive a second chance at life.
Bring Home a Cat With Personality
When you adopt a kitten, you can't know what he'll turn out like. While some owners may like the surprise, others don't always have a lifestyle that permits it. For example, if you have other pets in the home, you need a cat you know can handle other animals. A shelter's staff has information on the cat's temperament and personality. They know if a cat loves children or other animals or if he has special needs. Choose to adopt a cat with a personality that complements your family.
Choose a Cat With a Health Record
Felines in a shelter receive veterinary care. You receive access to the cat's health records, including any illnesses he may have. Most cats receive care before people adopt them. In addition, shelter cats are spayed and neutered to reduce the risk of surprise litters.
