Millions of cats are adopted each year but many more are euthanized due to shelters not having enough space.

Shelters don’t have the resources to care for all the animals that need their help. They need more money and volunteers, but most importantly they need people to adopt their cats so they can save even more lives!

If you’re thinking about adopting a cat, there are some things you should know before making that final decision.

You should be prepared to make a serious commitment if you’re thinking about adopting a cat. It’s not like buying an appliance or piece of furniture that you can return if it doesn’t suit your needs, or like getting married where the couple can get divorced in six months if they want to. A cat will likely be with you for its entire life—or longer! So before getting one, think about the following:

• Do I have enough time and ability to care for this animal?
• Am I allergic to cats? If so, are there any other pets in my household (dogs, birds) that might cause me allergy problems as well?
• Am I a dog person or a cat person? This may seem like an obvious question but many people don’t realize how much time it takes care for both species until after they’ve gotten one type instead of another!

If none of these questions have stopped us yet from getting our dream pet then we’re ready make our decision! Let’s take some time now though think about some of the things we would like out of our new furry friend…

Cats make excellent house pets and have a lot of personality so it’s no wonder there are millions of households of cats in the United States alone.

If you’re looking to add a little feline friend to your family, here are some things you should know about cats before deciding to adopt:

Cats are very independent. They won’t want to be held all the time and will often do what they want when they want. This makes them fun pets because they have so much personality—but it also means that if you’re looking for an animal who will spend all day sitting on your lap while you watch TV, then a cat probably isn’t right for you.

Cats are very affectionate animals that enjoy spending time with their owners as long as they get enough attention throughout the day. They’ll often come up and rub against your leg when they want attention or give head butts in order to receive affection from their owner(s). When introducing new people into the home, it’s important not only that everyone treats each other nicely but also that everyone knows how loud noises/sudden movements might affect an indoor cat (especially since many people choose these types of pets because they live indoors).

Cats can be trained fairly easily using positive reinforcement methods such as praise or treats! There are even websites dedicated solely towards teaching tricks like sitting up on command!

There’s nothing like coming home to your cute little furry friend!

Cats are so much fun to wake up to and even better, they don’t require a lot of maintenance. They’re affectionate, intelligent and can be trained to do tricks. If you want to teach your cat how to do something new like jumping through a hoop or playing fetch with you, all it takes is patience and lots of treats!

If you don’t have time or space for a dog but still want that furry companion in your life, consider adopting a cat instead! They make great pets—and here’s why:

The average lifespan for cats is 14 years and even though they are extremely low maintenance pets, you should consider if you have the time and ability to care for a cat for that long.

The average lifespan for cats is 14 years and even though they are extremely low maintenance pets, you should consider if you have the time and ability to care for a cat for that long. Some cats can live up to 20 years old. In addition to this, there are other factors that you need to take into consideration such as whether your lifestyle will allow you to commit yourself to taking care of an animal every day over such a long period of time. For example, if you want a cat who enjoys cuddling with their owner then maybe it’s best not get one since they tend not enjoy being held tightly against their body due to how well they can get around on their own two feet!

This may seem obvious, but if you don’t like animals, you should reconsider adopting a cat.

If you’re new to having cats as pets, it’s important to know that there are lots of advantages. Cats are low maintenance and great for people who don’t have much time to care for them. They can be great companions and will keep you entertained for years to come. If you’re looking for a pet but don’t want the responsibility of caring for an active dog, then adopting a cat may be the best option for you!

If anyone asks how I ended up with so many pets over the years, my answer is always “one thing led to another.” For example: My first pet was an adorable little ferret named Ruby who lived under my bed until she died at age 13 (a long life by ferret standards). After we buried Ruby at our house in Vermont (yes – we buried her alive), I traveled around Europe with two friends and got bitten by mosquitoes every night while sleeping on hostel beds with no mattress pads or sheets (this is true). The bites became infected when we got home because nobody would take care of them properly – me included!

Cats will love their owners unconditionally which is one of the many reasons they make great house pets.

Cats will love their owners unconditionally which is one of the many reasons they make great house pets. They are affectionate, loyal, clean and low maintenance, quiet and easy to care for. Cats also need very little interaction with their humans as they are independent by nature. The only thing they expect from you is a warm lap or two where they can relax when they want a quick cuddle!

The first step in looking for your new feline friend is to find a shelter near you.

The first step in looking for your new feline friend is to find a shelter near you. Shelters are full of cats waiting to be adopted, and they’re a great place to find cats that match your personality and lifestyle. If you want an older cat, shelters usually have plenty of those available. If you’d prefer a more energetic animal, then look at the younger kittens or cats available at the shelter.

People often think that they need to go searching far away from their homes when they want to adopt a cat from an animal shelter because there aren’t any close by them, but this isn’t always true. You should check out the local shelters in your area before deciding that you have no choice but to drive hundreds of miles out of town just so that you can get your perfect pet!

There are hundreds of thousands of cats in need of a good home, so try not to get too attached to any particular one while at the shelter.

You may be tempted to get attached to a specific cat at the shelter, but try not to. The reason is simple: there are many other cats that need homes too. So if you have your heart set on a particular kitty, and it doesn’t work out for some reason (maybe he or she isn’t quite right for you), that’s okay! You can always visit again another day and try again.

So don’t worry about falling in love with one cat specifically—there will always be another furry friend waiting for you! Just make sure that you choose an adoptable cat instead of just “the prettiest” one or “the most playful” one or whatever else might attract your attention when in the presence of adorable little balls of fluff.

Also remember: cats are not commodities; they aren’t things that can be bought off shelves like cans of soup at a grocery store (though some people would argue otherwise). They’re living beings who deserve our respect and attention just like any other animal does—so treat them as such!

Not all cats are alike so it’s important to find a cat that matches your personality and lifestyle.

Not all cats are alike so it’s important to find a cat that matches your personality and lifestyle. Cats have different personalities, needs, likes and dislikes. They can be shy or outgoing; some love to play while others prefer quiet time. Some enjoy being held while others would rather stay in the comfort of their own home.

Here are some tips on how to find the purrr-fect feline friend:

• Know what kind of cat you want before going shopping! Are you looking for an indoor only cat? Or maybe an outdoor loving kitty would be better suited for you. Think about how much time you will be able to spend with your new friend each day and make sure they will fit into your lifestyle with ease.
