How to search for a cat
1-Adopting cats from shelters is less expensive than buying them at a pet store. Buying a cat at a pet store may cost you hundreds or possibly thousands if it is a rare breed, but adoption rarely costs you more than 200 or 3,000 USD at most.
- You don't have to buy from a pet store to adopt a purebred cat, as there are many organizations that take care of abandoned purebred cats. About 25% of shelters are pure-cat cats abandoned.
- Talk to the shelter staff. Ask them about your cat's history and health problems.
2 - Go visit a cat breeder. Lose his reputation before buying a cat. If you can, visit it and examine the cats on your own. You should not contribute to the success of a cat breeder treating animals in an inhuman way, so if you see that he does not treat the animals lightly or does not tell you everything, do not buy from him.
- Look for signs of cat mistreatment, such as: there are loads of cat hair everywhere, a pungent odor that overwhelms the place, infected cats or untroubled nails. It is supposed to keep the cats in good health and the cats to look happy.
- Ask well what cat you plan to buy. Ask his breeder if he has any health or behavioral problems or special needs. He is supposed to be familiar with the cat's behavior and being honest with you.
- Ensure that cats feel comfortable being near other humans and animals.
- Be careful if you find an overpriced price. Rare pure breed costs thousands if you find it sold in hundreds means that the owner is not sincere in his talk about the cat and on the other hand high prices do not mean the purity of the breed or its quality.
3- Search online. You may find ads on the Internet or in newspapers about cats for sale or adoption for free. It is true that you can adopt a cat that a friend or neighbor owns, but be aware of the dangers of this procedure.
- The person who is offered the cat for adoption may not know much about the cat's character, history, or breed. Make sure to obtain a cat's medical record.
- If the cat is for sale, you may not be able to get your money back from it if you change your mind.
4-Go visit a pet store. Shops sell kittens bought from kittens or cat shelters. Be careful, however, that staff members may love animals but not have enough experience on the history of cats compared to shelters or cat breeders.
- Ask the store where the cats for sale come from. The store may deal with cat breeders who deal with cats in an unethical and unhealthy manner. Look for the cat breeder who supplies cats to this store. They should also be aware of your cat's breed, all possible health problems, and your cat's personal history. Cats of pure breed are supposed to have a health certificate from the veterinarian.
- If the adoptive shop offers you a shelter, choose one of the cats shown. Adopting a cat, instead of buying it, ensures that you don't send money to immoral organizations.
5-Adopt a stray cat. Sometimes a cat appears at the door of your house and asks you for some love. Keep in mind a few things:
- Ensure that it is not owned by anyone else. Sometimes cats get lost. Place an ad in the neighborhood or on the Internet describing the cat you found.
- Remember that street cats have behavioral problems. Life on the street is difficult and you may find it difficult to integrate the cat into a new home, especially if you have other pets
- Check with your vet for a healthy cat, as it may be a carrier of disease and infection. Before adopting a stray cat, you must make sure that it is free of diseases.
