June is Adopt A Cat Month

Think dogs are more fun? Think again!

Cat owners are quick to point out that their feline family members not only have as much personality as dogs, but they are far easier to maintain. They make excellent pets for those that do not have the time to spend walking a dog or that worry about leaving their pet crated for hours while they are at work each day. Cats are far more flexible with the amount of time their person spends at work. (They spend much of their day napping, anyway. They may not even notice you’re gone…)

Want that special furry friend to greet you happily at the door when you get home each evening? Yeah, cats will do that, too. While they don’t demand as much of your time, they still love to see you when you come home. I have two that come running when I return home from a day running errands.

Think you’ll miss out on play time if you opt for a cat instead of a dog? Think again. I’ve had several foster cats that relish a good game of fetch.

And if you already have a dog, don’t believe the stereotype that cats and dogs don’t get along. Most of my foster cats adore my large, drooly dog. And my large, drooly dog enjoys playing with them in return.

So, what have we learned? Cats are low maintenance. They just want daily food, water, and a quick scoop of the litter box. Cats are social. They vary as much in their personalities as dogs and people do. Cats do love you. They enjoy cuddling on the couch with you while you read.

Ready to adopt? We have some fabulous felines just waiting for a forever home. Whether you’re looking for a laid back fat cat or a spunky young entertainer, we’ve got the perfect companion for you. And why not adopt two? Cats do better in pairs so they can entertain one another while you’re not home.
