10 Great Reasons to Rescue a Shelter Cat
Every year six to eight million dogs and cats enter shelters. Three to four million of them are euthanized, mainly due to overcrowding. Approximately 70% of these euthanized animals are cats.
The following are ten great reasons to adopt a shelter cat:
You will be helping, rather than contributing, to the problem of pet overpopulation.
Adopting a shelter cat is much less expensive than adopting a cat from a breeder.
You are supporting a good cause. Shelters are focused on the animal’s interests as opposed to a breeder or pet stores that are making a profit.
Most cats adopted at shelters are already spayed or neutered. They have also usually been wormed and are up to date on their vaccinations.
Adult cats are much less maintenance. Most adult shelter cats are already litter box trained and have some basic training.
The shelter’s trained adoption staff will work with you to find the right pet for your family.
There are fewer surprises when you adopt a shelter cat. The animal’s temperament has already been evaluated by shelter staff.
You will set a positive example for others who may decide to follow suit and also adopt a shelter cat.
You will be providing a safe and happy home for a neglected or under privileged cat that deserves a forever home.
You will save a life!
