Save A Cat’s Life: Use Your Local Animal Shelter
Are you thinking about getting a kitten, or cat? Are you wondering which would be better for your situation? Maybe you’re thinking that “free” is better than using a Shelter.
Free isn’t really free if you do right by your cat. You should have your cat spayed/neutered and given a rabies shot at the very least. Even if your cat stays indoors you should still get the rabies shot. I do.
One thing you should NOT do is have your cat declawed. This is a despicable practice. Please, if you aren’t going to have your free cat spayed/neutered, and vaccinated, don’t get a cat. If you plan on having your cat declawed, please leave it where it is. The cat deserves better.
If you have small children a full grown cat would be best in most cases. Young children can harm, and even kill a kitten. They don’t mean to harm the kitten, but they often do. An older cat will just split.
Kittens are fine for older children. They’re fine if you have no children. If you have other cats, or a dog , there may be trouble. Be careful how you introduce your new cat to the family. Make sure the cat has a safe place to go if there are problems.
Remember, Shelter cats are often killed because nobody wants them. Your local Shelter should be the first place you look for a new cat. Even if you aren’t looking for a cat right now, stop by and donate a few bucks. Tell them it’s for the cats. They’ll appreciate it and so will I. Peace.
Best,
