Purebred cats come in a variety of personalities, sizes, and coats. A Siamese may be more
affectionate and demanding, a Persian more placid. Long-haired breeds need more
grooming.
Again, your shelter can help guide you to the purebred cat breed
that matches your personality, we have a wide assortment of cats
available for adoption. If you work long hours, two cats will keep one another company.
I'VE DECIDED -- WHAT NOW?
Choosing your new pet wisely is an important first step in making it part of your family.
Now, get ready for its arrival. Don't just drag the new family member home from the
shelter or breeder with no preparations!
Prepare your family first. Discuss needs and responsibilities. Remind children that the
newcomer needs time to settle in. Young animals need lots of rest.
Get the necessary equipment—bowls, bedding and litter pan. —
Have collars, leashes, and toys. Investigate types of
food, and choose a quality product right for your pet's age and lifestyle.
Pet-proof your home as you would for a child. Electrical cords, household products, and
plants should be moved out of the pet's reach. Remember, puppies and kittens view the
world as a chew toy. Your job is to help them learn toys from forbidden items.
Ask friends to recommend a veterinarian. Plan to take your new pet for a health check and
any necessary vaccinations within the first few days. Make arrangements to have your
pet neutered as soon as it is old enough.
