Adopt-a-Cat
If you want to adopt a cat, there are many different things to think about. Can you afford to take care of a cat? Will you be responsible and be able to take care of a cat for its whole life, which is usually 10-14 years, but can be longer? If you think that you are ready to have a cat, explore the different cats we have and come down to the shelter during our adoption hours to meet your new furry friend.
