There are various situations to consider before adopting a life long friend. It can happen to the best of us. You see a cute, tiger-striped kitten with white paws and green eyes, just begging for attention. You take one look, and the next thing you know, you're walking down the pet food aisle at the supermarket.
If you're like most of us, falling in love with a pet is easy. And no wonder! Sharing your home with a four-legged friend can be one of life's greatest joys. Dogs, cats, and other pets give us unconditional loyalty and acceptance, provide constant companionship, and even help relieve stress after a hard day's work.
Sure, it's a long list of questions. But a quick stroll through an cat shelter will help you understand why answering them before you adopt is so important.
Many of the shelter's homeless cats are puppies and kittens, victims of irresponsible people who allowed their pets to breed. But there are at least as many cats at the shelter who are more than a year old-cats who were obtained by people who didn't think through the responsibilities of pet ownership before they got the cat.
Please, don't make the same mistake. Think before you adopt. Sharing your life with a companion cat can bring incredible rewards, but only if you're willing to make the necessary commitments of time, money, responsibility, and love for the life of the pet.
