Today I was looking thru my things & I realized (cause I'm a BIG softie 4 animals, especially cats!): there a lot of homeless animals out there in America, and it's up to us, this generation, to help get rid of it! We need to picture ourselves as the animal(s), scared & helpless, and do something about it! We need to volunteer at the neer-by Humane Society, or whatever animal shelter is neer you! Or, if you're looking for a cat/ dog, then get one that will eventually be euthanized if no one wants it, instead of getting one from a friend or breeder! So what if the cat/ dog will be a little older than you hoped for, it's still an animal that deserves a CHANCE to live! In the end, it will be just as good as the kitten/ puppy you wanted 10 years ago! So get out there, volunteer, get an animal, and save an animal's life! You won't regret it! Got the message I'm trying to tell you? Good, it'll help save an animal's life!

| I'm in Europe, but I understand you pretty well. Most people want a charming kitten. Perhaps they think they will never grow up. In half a year you will have a grown cat. Why you don't begin with such a one?. With a kitten you don't know how he will be when he is older. With a grown cat you know his character. I adopted a two months old, a four years old and a two years old. The easiest adaptation where with the oldest one. The kitten was very difficult. Of course kittens also need a family, but there are lots of older cats that have lost their homes, that have been kicked out, and they need a new family. You should take then into account when you look for another one. Perhaps they will live less years with you, but they need another opportunity. And of course, you will know what their character are

I myself have 3 cats. One was bought from a breeder (8 years ago), one was adopted from the Humane Society of Utah (3 years ago, she is 7 years old now), and in January, we got a 4 month old kitten (now 9 months) from a breeder. He is now 2ice the size he was when we got him. But we saved 1 cat from being euthanized! That's important!

Well, I adopted a 4years old cat that lacks an eye. And I have adopted a 6years old cat with a chronic rhinitis. Really both of them are a little older than that, but no one wanted them. They are lovely and affections. I can't understand  . I didn't took them because they have a problem. I elected them because of their character. I didn't want fights at home... Marena has waited for 3 years... Why nobody took her? she has a very little problem. And shelters need help. And money, and tools... There are many things you can do there. Not only caring for the animals. But I think this board isn't visited. You should post this en Cat Chat.
