June is "Adopt a Shelter Cat" month. Let's face it - around here that's every month. We are shelter cats are we are here to be adopted. But June is the month that American Humane has picked to highlight the wonderfulness of those of us who live in shelters. June is a great time to do it because the spring and summer are typically kitten season.
Some people get worried about adopting a cat from a shelter because they think we are here because something is wrong with us or they worry they won't know our history. The fact is you only know a complete history if you get a cat from a breeder or when it's very young straight from the home where it was born. And while the first few months of my life are a mystery the volunteers here know me very well and will be happy to tell you about me or any of my other roomies. They take the time to get to know each of us to be sure the home where we end up is the right home for us.
And look at all the choices you have when you adopt from a shelter. You want a skinny cat, fat cat, short-haired cat, playful cat, young cat, old cat, talkative cat, lap cat, yellow cat, black cat, a cat that will play fetch or any number of other kinds of cats. Odds are really, really good you are going to find exactly what you want.
Adopt a shelter cat. You'll be glad you did.
