Choosing A Cat Part 7
Choosing A Cat - Part 7
Where should You Look?
- A breeder: spend time researching a reputable breeder with many years of experience
- Animal charities: these are often an excellent source for a first time pet owner as you will benefit from the advice and knowledge of experienced and dedicated staff.
- Animal Shelters/Rescue Centers: here you'll find abandoned cats and kittens and older cats who may have been "orphaned" by the death of an owner. Experience staff will know the personalities of the cats and some history.
- Pet shops: don't ever buy from a local pet store on impulse without researching first. A good pet shop should be spotlessly clean with staff experienced in giving the right advice
- Friends or neighbors: this can be a good source, as you will know exactly where your pet has come from. Don't buy through advertisements in papers, as you really don't know what you're getting!
Benefits of Cat Ownership
- Companionship - this is the most important factor for most owners.
- Comfort and support - cats can provide apparent emotional support.
- Help to establish new friendships - cat owners are more socially interactive.
