June is National Adopt-A-Cat Month. With so many beautiful, sweet, playful felines available for adoption, there\u2019s never been a better time to adopt a cat. If you\u2019ve been wanting to find the best possible addition to your family, we are so happy to help you get started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Shelter Cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We highly recommend finding your next best friend at an animal shelter. Shelter cats<\/a> are already spayed\/neutered<\/a>, current on all vaccinations and parasite prevention, dewormed, and microchipped<\/a>. Many available cats are in their adult or senior years, and deserve homes and loving families.

To promote National Adopt-A-Cat Month, most shelters or rescues are offering free or reduced adoptions for all the cats in their care that need forever homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are able to devote yourself <\/a>to their intense needs for play, exercise, mental stimulation, age-appropriate nutrition, and training, adopting a kitten (or two) could be wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Preppy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is crucial to examine your lifestyle, household, home type, and other family members (human and animal alike) before you adopt a cat. While they don\u2019t require excessive room to run or a yard, cats definitely benefit from a certain amount of space. Questions to ask include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
