Subject: RE: Advice NeededMaybe you could foster a cat?
I don't know about your area, but around here there are lots of cat shelters that need volunteers and they are always short on space and looking for people to put cats up till the find a permenant home. The satisfaction of a pet, without the commitment....might be just the thing for your lifestyle.
I'd love to do that with dogs, but with the menagerie I've got going now I can't swing it.
Milo's an adult stray from the shelter and he's an amazing little guy. I'm a big proponent for adopting adult animals -- they are the first to get euthanized since eveyone wants kittens and puppies. The trick is to not go in with pre-concived ideas about looks or age but to ask the volunteers and staff about who's been there the longest, and who they like the best.
Cat's are so adaptable though...my other cat has traveled all over the country - even flew from the east coast to the west once. She's just rolled with the punches. |
