Currently, local kittens and cats are overpopulating cat homes that are in high demand. Kitties are being brought to pet shelters at a very astounding rate nowadays, and many are above capacity. Finding these cats a new good home is very important to help in reducing the overpopulation in shelters that are currently happening globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;There are several places to look for the best cat for you. The type and age of cat you\u2019re looking for can greatly affect where you go. But wherever you decide to get your kitten, make sure that you\u2019re fully committed to taking good care of him or her socially and financially. Cats are known to be sociable animals and can also become very expensive. So, before you decide to get one, make sure you\u2019re 100% ready to commit to your cat for his entire life since cats can live up to fifteen to twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_guide_to_choosing_the_perfect_cat\"><\/span><strong>A guide to choosing the perfect cat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to get the most fun and enjoyable experience out of your cat, research what particular cat breed will best suit you and your family\u2019s lifestyle. Avoid buying a cat as a gift or spur of the moment purchases. Consider the time, care, and cost caring for a cat will require. Also, we highly recommend talking to your veterinarian as a big part of your kitten hunt. Get valuable and professional advice about different cat breeds from the experts that know them well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some vets are even specialized in cat care and have feline clinics that are specially tailored for cats. Finding the right veterinarian is also as important as finding the best cat for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats are popularly known for their companionship and compassionate behavior. They\u2019re also easy to train and are low maintenance. Cats can be able to easily adapt to new situations and homes and are very resourceful as well. The history and home life of cats will greatly affect their personalities and demeanors. If you\u2019re choosing to adopt an adult cat, make sure to know more about his past home life and history, including why he was given to a pet shelter or put up for adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_6_cat_adoption_options\"><\/span><strong>Top 6 cat adoption options<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues<\/li><li>Humane Society or other pet shelters<\/li><li>Pet stores<\/li><li>Petfinder.com<\/li><li>Pet rescue groups<\/li><li>Facebook pages<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>[crp]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_questions_about_the_best_place_to_get_a_cat\"><\/span><strong>Common questions about the best place to get a cat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_best_way_to_get_a_kitten\"><\/span><strong>What is the best way to get a kitten?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best place to get a cat is to visit an animal shelter. Kittens in a pet shelter have already received the basic veterinary care they need and mostly are neutered and spayed already. Aside from that, kittens from a pet shelter have already had their personalities and temperaments evaluated by an expert feline vet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_it_cost_to_buy_a_baby_kitten\"><\/span><strong>How much does it cost to buy a baby kitten?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oftentimes, the typical costs when buying a cat varies from breed, size, and age. Adopting an adult cat or kitten from an animal shelter often costs between USD50 and USD100. On the other hand, buying a high-quality purebred kitten from a qualified breeder often costs USD300 and USD1,200, depending on the cat\u2019s color, breed, and hair length.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_get_a_kitten_or_a_cat\"><\/span><strong>Should you get a kitten or a cat?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While kittens are naturally playful and adorable, within one year or so, they will become a mellower adult cat. Therefore, it is better not to adopt young cats just because of their cuteness. If you\u2019re planning to add a new feline member to your family that will be both a companion and a playmate, then choosing a kitten is good for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rescue organizations, humane societies, and animal shelters are usually filled with healthy, loving kittens and adult cats who want to find a good home. Simply research pet shelters in your locality to help you find the right cat for you and your family. Also, your veterinarian can definitely be able to refer you to some rescue groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a new cat owner to be, be prepared to provide your home inspection request since many rescuers might want to ensure that their cats are going to best homes. On the other hand, if you want to buy a purebred cat, ask your veterinarian to recommend a local qualified cat breeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Where-is-the-best-place-to-get-a-kitten_-1-683x1024.png\" alt=\"Where is the best place to get a kitten\" class=\"wp-image-1402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Where-is-the-best-place-to-get-a-kitten_-1-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Where-is-the-best-place-to-get-a-kitten_-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Where-is-the-best-place-to-get-a-kitten_-1-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/animalsa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Where-is-the-best-place-to-get-a-kitten_-1.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adopting a cat can be a rewarding and fun experience, however, sometimes it can be frustrating to find the perfect place to get one.
