If you have already decided to get a cat, then you have a wide range of choices.
It's one thing when your friends or acquaintances cat has given birth to kittens and you want to take this particular kitten. It's another thing when you don't care.
What's so appealing about shelter cats?
This is not unfounded, cats who have been to a shelter completely change their worldview. Feeling human love, they respond in kind, only thousands of times stronger.
In most cases, they are, of course, wayward and even somewhat impudent, but over time you will be able to re-educate the cat.
At the same time, do not forget that you are saving a life, because no living creature can live long in a cage.
Right of choice
You will be able to choose a pet at the shelter that you completely like in terms of color and behavior.
You can watch this cat for a while and start to establish contact, although usually, people leave the shelter with their pet on the very first day.
And it is important to understand whether you need a cat or a decorative purebred “toy” to show off to your friends and acquaintances.
Cat health
When you take a cat from a shelter, you can be 100% sure that it is absolutely healthy, since volunteers closely monitor it.
However, you should still take your pet to a veterinary clinic for a full diagnostic examination; it certainly won’t hurt.
Resume
As a result, you will find a reliable and loyal friend. Even if he will cause a lot of trouble at first.
But as soon as the cat studies his place of residence and understands that this is his home, he will become much calmer.
We have previously written about why it is important to pay attention to your cat and play with him more often.
