There are very few people who really consider getting a cat for adoption. Dogs for adoption, are quite popular, but cats up for adoption have a hard time finding new owners. A lot of cats are set in their ways. Dogs are much easier to train. There is a saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but it is not true until they get very old. Up to that point, you can teach a dog anything you want. It will get used to a new owner, although it can take a bit of time.
When you're talking about cats for adoption, however, things are more difficult. If it has gone through some difficult things, has been very attached to a previous owner, or simply has a troublesome personality, A cat for adoption can be completely impossible. A lot of people will not even try it because of the many hassles of adopting a new pet. Cats can be so outright hostile that you would not want one in your house who does not like you.
Nevertheless, it is worth trying to get a cat for adoption. Unless you have a certain breed in mind, there is no reason not to take a look. The moodiness and forceful personalities of cats can work both ways. A cat for adoption can be the type of creature that will never like you, but on the other hand it can take an instant liking to you and end up as your best friend.
This happened to me when I went out and picked up a cat for adoption. I had been very lonely and my friend suggested that I get a pet. He pointed me to a recent medical study that suggested that pet owners live longer, healthier lives than other people. I am usually pretty skeptical about that kind of claim, but it seemed worth taking a look at. The science looked solid, after all, so I thought I'd give it a try.
When I got to the animal shelter, however, I was initially disappointed. Every cat for adoption seems to be the wrong pet for me. Some of them were moody, angry, or depressed. Other ones seem to be in very bad physical health. No matter which way I looked, I could not find a cat for adoption. In fact, it took me months to find the perfect cat for adoption. Once I did, however, I was pretty happy with it.
