Tips for a Successful Adoption CHOOSING THE RIGHT CAT
Cats make wonderful pets and can easily adjust to a variety of lifestyles and living spaces. Even so, a cat's personality, age, and appearance, as well as the kinds of pets you already have at home, are all things you should keep in mind when making your selection. Remember, you're committing to love and care for your new pet for its lifetime - up to 20 years. So choose carefully and be a responsible pet guardian.
Choose a Personality
Look for a cat that is playful, active, alert, and comfortable while being held and stroked. Remember, because they are in an unfamiliar environment, some cats who are usually quite social may be frightened or passive while at the shelter.
Kitten or Cat?
Kittens are curious, playful, and full of energy, while adult cats are more relaxed and less mischievous. Kittens need more time to train and feed. Young children usually don't have the maturity to handle kittens responsibly, so a cat that is at least four months old is probably the best choice for homes with kids under six years old.
Shorthaired or Long?
You'll see more shorthaired cats .at the shelter since they're the most popular and common cats. Longhaired cats make equally wonderful pets, but they do require more frequent grooming.
Whether you choose a dog or cat - Be responsible and spay or neuter your pet! Spayed/neutered pets:
- Live longer than unspayed/unneutered pets- dogs on average 1-3 years; cats on average 3-5 years.
- Roam outside the home less which lowers their chance of injury.
- Fight less with other dogs and cats reducing the risk of resulting wounds.
- Low to no instances of mammary gland tumors/cancer, perianal tumors, pyometria, and uterine, ovarian and testicular cancers.
Plus, you will be helping to end the pet overpopulation crisis that results in the unnecessary deaths of innocent animals nationwide.

Emergencies seldom give warning, but we can be ready for them. Most people have first aid kits on hand for themselves and family members. But what about your animals? Pet care experts recommend having a pet first aid kit that's right where you need it if an animal emergency occurs.
You can buy kits that are pre-assembled or assemble your own. Keep them in different locations so that you are prepared at all times, in all places. It's wise to keep one kit at home, one in the car, and wherever else your pet spends time -- the office, a relative's or friend's home, a vacation retreat, etc. If customizing your own, use a container that is sturdy, waterproof and easy to spot when you need to locate it in a hurry.
Here is what every basic first aid kit
should contain:
- Phone numbers and addresses: Veterinarian, Emergency Vet, Poison Control
- Basic pet first-aid book
- Photocopies of your pet's paperwork: important medical records, vaccinations, etc.
- Medical gloves: to protect hands and prevent contamination
- Scissors: to cut gauze or the animal's hair
- Bottled water
- A mild antibacterial soap: to clean skin and wounds
- Paper towels
- Gauze pads: for wounds
- Gauze rolls: for wounds and can also be used as a temporary muzzle
- Alcohol prep pads: to sterilize equipment - NOT for use on wounds
- Self-adhesive bandages: flexible bandage used to wrap and stabilize injuries (do not wrap too tightly)
- A large cloth towel: to wrap animal
- Hydrogen peroxide: to clean minor wounds
- Eyewash: such as contact lens solution or water in a squeeze bottle to gently but thoroughly flush out wounds and eyes
- Antibiotic ointment: for cuts and abrasions (never for eyes)
- Cotton applicator swabs
- Tweezers: for the removal of foreign objects from skin and paws; and for the proper removal of ticks
One important rule to observe: make sure to always read directions and warnings before applying any medications, either prescribed or over the counter, to your pet. If you have an emergency, you should always contact your veterinarian for further instruction.
Please make sure to always read directions and warnings before applying any medications to your pet.
