I recently adopted a female tiger cat from my local humane society. She is a sweetheart. When I walked up to her cage, she came real close to the door so I would pet her. I picked her up and she cuddled right up. I am so glad. She is neutered and declawed. I got so interested, I am thinking about volunteering there in the cat rooms. I have not had any problems with her and she loves my wide window sills. So if you are thinking about adopting a cat, try your local humane society. My other cat came from a rescue. And I am very much in favor of rescues.
