Springtime is the
beginning of kitten season.  This time of
year is a popular time for newborn kittens to find a home in local
shelters.  This also means that it’s a great
time to adopt your first cat.  Here are a
few things that you should consider before adopting a cat this June.

• Room for Two – Cats need regular
  exercise, stimulation and social interaction. 
  If you have the room, two cats can provide this for each other. 
• Personality – Just like us, each cat
  has a unique personality.  Cats with long
  hair tend to be more easygoing than lean cats with short hair.  Consider working with the adoption center to
  find a cat that matches your own personality.
• Vet Visit – Take any records you
  received from the adoption center with you to your first vet visit.
• Cat-Proof Home – If you have never
  had a pet before, you may be accustomed to leaving food out on the
  counter.  However, your cat might jump on
  the counter to reach it.  Hide electric
  cords and pick up any small objects that your kitten might accidently swallow.

consider before adopting, visit the American
Humane Association website.  We also
