Adopting a cat or Kitten is a serious responsibility. A cat you adopt today will likely be a part of your family for the next 10 to 20 years. Each cat has its own distinct personality and preferences, some of which you can help shape, others which you cannot change. A pet makes considerable demands on your time and resources. Cat owners need to spend time socializing, grooming, feeding, litter box cleaning and playing with their cat each day. All cats require special food and regular veterinary care; expenses could exceed $500 a year, not including unforeseen veterinary expenses. Start-up costs could be another $50-$100.
ARE YOU PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF OWNING A CAT?____
