Unsure What To Do? Here's Why you should rescue and not shop!

Are You Thinking Of Bringing A New Furry Friend Into Your Home?

If yes, before you go to the nearest pet shop, you might want to consider going to your local animal shelter.

In this post, let us share with you some of the most important reasons why you should rescue cats rather than shop for one.

You Save A Life

The greatest reason why you should choose animal shelters is that you are saving a life. You see, there are more than 3 million cats who live in a shelter across the United States.

Now, here’s the most heartbreaking statistics you might don’t want to hear. More than 800,000 of them are euthanized.

It’s not good statistics, but that’s the reality of life. Thankfully, the good news is that you can do something about it.

By adopting a cat, you don’t just save one life, but you are saving multiple lives. Getting a cat from a shelter means that the shelter would be able to make more room for other cats who need help. They can accommodate and rescue more cats as more pet lovers adopt cats from them.

You Save Some Cash

Generally speaking, adopting is cheaper than buying. For just a relatively low fee, you can take a rescued cat home almost instantly. Not only that but since it came from the shelter, it is more likely to be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped already. All these could save you a huge amount of money from medical costs and fees.

Moreover, many shelters go the extra mile by providing extras in the adoption fee. For example, you get a free cat collar, pet insurance, and cat food.

You Get A Wide Range Of Options

In the shelter, you get to see a lot of cats. You’ll find cats that are young, old, fat, skinny, black, white, male, female, big, small, and a whole lot of options to choose from.

You can even talk to the cat keeper and tell him your needs and preferences. From there, the cat keeper can show you your possible options. With so many cats to choose from, it won’t be difficult for you to find the right feline friend for you.

You Can Get An Adult Cat

Sometimes, it makes more sense to adopt an adult cat rather than a young kitty. For one, an adult cat is already trained. An adult cat’s personality is already known. So, there’s a better chance you’ll find a cat with a personality that compliments yours. In addition, an adult cat requires less supervision.

Adopt Not Shop

These are just some of the most important reasons you should adopt instead of shop. Not only you get to save a life, but you’ll also get a lot of benefits that come with your decision.
