Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month

June is celebrated as the National Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat month! Most families are stunned to discover that a SUMMER month is Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat month. Everyone is so busy during the summer, we know. The kids are off from school, you have weekend trips planned for the 4th and a week long trip to Disney to celebrate Jonny's 6th birhtday, getting a kitty right now would just add to it all. But see, this is where you're wrong. Summer is THE PERFECT time to adopt a kitty!

Summer is a good time for your new family member to bond with your family. Although you yourself might be busy with work and having the kids home, its a perfect time for the kitty to merge into your home. The kids are home from school, meaning they have all day to play with your new cat and help them adjust to their new living situation. You won't have to worry about the cat as much, because the kids are there, playing and entertaining your new furry friend. During the summer, more friends and family are able to visit your home, so the animal can learn to love them just as much as they will learn to love you!

A lot of people are worried about adopting a cat in the summer because they go away for camping trips and weekend get aways. But thats PURRRFECT for a cat! Cat's are totally self-sustainable! Nobody needs to come over and let them out three times a day. As long as you put down enough food and water to last them the length of your trip, they will be fine! If you're taking a long trip, longer than 2 night's, and hire a cat sitter to come scoop their litter box, the cat quickly adjusts and will be okay with the cat sitter coming into their home and giving them attention!

In a home, their are window's for a cat to jump up into. From the window they can watch birds and enjoy the fresh breeze through the screen. The sunlight shining through the windows gives "hot spots" on the ground that your kitty will curl up in for a nice little nap. These are all things the cat's cannot do at the shelter. We don't have windows for our animals to jump up into and allow sun to shine into the rescue to lay in. To take a cat home at the beginning of summer means they don't need to live their entire summer at a shelter in a cage and can enjoy all the things that summer offers!

A lot of shelters offer specials on their cats during the month of June to help celebrate Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat month. Pet Angel is putting all their cats above the age of 6 months at half off, in hopes of finding them a home before June is over. Contact us at 989-652-0552 to find your new fur friend!
