It’s Adopt-A-Cat Month!

Designated by American Humane, June is Adopt-A-Cat Month! Every spring, thousands of kittens are born…some to domesticated cats, and some to feral cats. With an influx of newborn kittens, your local cat shelter needs to match more cats with their forever families.

Here are our top 5 reasons to adopt a shelter cat.

1) You can save a life.

If your local shelter euthanizes, you can save a cat’s life by adopting it. Even if your shelter is no-kill, adoption opens up spaces for more homeless cats to be rescued. It also reduces the strain on shelter resources.

2) You can avoid supporting animal cruelty.

Unfortunately, pet stores don’t always source their animals from quality breeders. Some cats have grown up in abusive kitten mills. By adopting instead of buying a cat, you’re choosing humane practices over cruelty. You’re voting for animal rights with your dollars.

3) You can get a low-maintenance adult cat.

If you adopt an adult shelter cat, he won’t need the training a kitten would require. He will probably know how to use the litter box, how to respect boundaries, and how to settle into a routine. Adult cats are much easier to fit into your life than kittens.

4) You can get matched with the right cat for your lifestyle and personality.

The volunteers and staff at your local cat shelter care deeply about their cats. They can share helpful advice for the transition period and introduce you to prospective cats. Choosing a cat to adopt can be a bit daunting, but shelter staff are there to guide you through the process. They want to match you with the perfect cat for your household!

5) You can get a cat that’s ready to go!

Shelter cats have been spayed or neutered, dewormed, immunized, and assessed by trained staff. Usually, they have been trained to use the litterbox, which will make their transition into your home smoother. Some shelters also offer a certificate for a free vet visit, toys, food, and more.
