Getting a new cat?

Adopting your pets is the best possible way to welcome a new friend into your home. Forget getting a dog from a breeder, or a expensive pure bread cat, go to Dakin Pioneer animal Shelter [1] which is the best in this area. They are a no kill shelter, and each individual animal is loved and cared for before being placed into loving families. Both of the cats in my home, mine and my partners, came from Dakin's and if I ever think of getting another cat, it will be from there.Here you can see my web page devoted to them.

Adopting from shelters are better then breeders because

• They are cheaper then a breeder
• You get to chose between adults and kitten To get a kitten, or not to get a kitten
• You have the knowledge that shelters try and help the animals, not breed them for shows and pedigree!

Now that you've decided where to get your new kitten, here is a great file for getting off on the right paw! Media:purrfectstart.pdf Courtesy of The College of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University
