7 More Reasons to Adopt a Shelter Cat

7 More Reasons to Adopt a Shelter Cat

Last year, we shared 12 incredibly good reasons to adopt a shelter cat. Well, this year we are adding to our list! Just goes to show you that there is a never-ending number of reasons to adopt a cat. We make life better, guaranteed!

So… why should you adopt a shelter cat?…

13. Cats provide free pest control services.

Got a pesky pest that’s giving you trouble? A cat can help with that!

They kill bugs too. Real ones.

14. Cats don’t talk back.

Do you get tired of people always “giving you lip” or arguing with you? Good news! Kitties don’t talk back!

15. Cats are the ultimate zen masters.

Is your life full of chaos? Do you need help finding some calmness? Look no further!

18. Cats make the very best of friends.

If you’re looking for a loyal and loving furiend who will be there for you no matter what, will keep you company when you’re lonely, will cuddle with you anytime, and will be your furever playmate, then cats are the answer to your purrayers!

Though June is officially recognized as Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month, we think anytime is a good time to adopt a kitty. No words can describe the amount of joy and love that they bring to one’s life. And no amount of pictures could convey just how cute and amazing they are.

But please remember – cats are a furever commitment. Not an “until you move” commitment, or an “until I’m not a kitten anymore” commitment, or an “until I get sick” commitment. Please only adopt if you can commit for life. If you are able, we hope that you will consider visiting your local rescue or shelter and adopting one, two, or five! You won’t regret it!

    What a wonderful post with exceptionally good reasons and incredible photos and videos. If this post doesn’t convince someone to adopt a shelter cat, nothing will. Sorry we have been absent lately. Mom thinks gardening and swimming are more impawtant than visiting our friends and significant others. Please thank Mom Emily for sending the additional BlogPaws photos. She can’t wait to feature a photo of our dad and Sophie on the blog. They are so cute together. Hope to see one of you for Sunday Selfies.
