5 Great Reasons to Adopt a Shelter Cat

June is Adopt A Shelter Cat Month! We’re always happy to help spread the word about shelter cats. There are just far too many cute, lovable furballs in shelters, hoping that someone will love them enough to adopt them. If you’re ready to bring a new kitty into your household, please consider getting Fluffy from a shelter. You’ll read about some great benefits of adopting a shelter cat in this article from a Norwalk, CA vet.

Sadly, shelters just can’t keep up with the amount of cute, lovable felines coming through their doors. Fluffy may only have a short time to find herself a loving home. Saving one cat’s life won’t change the world, but it will change that kitty’s world. This is a small act of kindness that may have a huge impact on your life!

Another great reason to get your kitty from a shelter? It’s often much cheaper than adopting from a pet store or breeder! You may also be able to save on Fluffy’s veterinary care costs, as shelters pets are usually already fixed.

Shelters have cats of all breeds, ages, sizes, colors, and personality. Whether you’re looking for an adorable kitten, a calm adult feline, or a sweet senior furball, you’ve got a pretty good chance of finding Fluffy in a shelter. That said, it’s important to keep an open mind. That funny-looking cat that no one wanted may very well turn out to be the most loving pet you’ve ever had!

Another reason to go through shelters is that it helps promote good animal welfare. The space Fluffy leaves open will quickly be filled by another adorable feline searching for her forever home. Plus, the fees you spend on your kitty’s adoption will help the shelter care for other homeless pets.

Many people think that cats are the perfect pets, and it isn’t hard to see why. Fluffy is cute, cuddly, clean, and (somewhat) quiet. She’s also quite easy to care for. Plus, our feline pals are highly entertaining. Finally, kitties just have a special way of making houses into homes, and filling our hearts with love.
