3 Reasons to Rescue a Cat in Honor of Adopt-A-Cat Month

3-Reasons-to-Rescue-a-Cat-in-Honor-of-Adopt-A-Cat-Month

Did you know that June is Adopt-A-Cat Month? This event takes place annually in June because it is peak kitten season. At this time of year, shelters are flooded with kittens who are in desperate need of homes, and Adopt-A-Cat Month is intended to help raise awareness of this issue while encouraging pet-parents-to-be to adopt rather than shop. We’re aware of a lot of great reasons to rescue a cat. Keep reading to discover just a few of them! 

Shelter Cats Are Fully Vetted

When you adopt a cat from a shelter, they are usually vaccinated and spayed/neutered. Some shelters take care of microchipping, too, and they may even start your new pet on a parasite preventative. You’ll still need to visit VetCheck Pet Urgent Care Center to get your newest family member a checkup and keep up with their lifelong veterinary care needs. But instead of having to cover the cost of vaccinations, spaying or neutering, etc. right away, you’ll be able to spend more money spoiling your new pet. 

Adopting a Pet Provides Mental Health Benefits

Pet ownership helps people cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression, according to research. Add the self-esteem boost that comes from knowing that rescuing a cat saved their life, and it’s easy to see why pet adoption is great for your mental health. 

Shelter Cats Have Known Personalities

Cats have unique personalities. And when you adopt one from a shelter, it is much easier to find one whose personality matches what you are looking for. Whether you’re looking for a quiet cuddle bug or a rambunctious playmate for your kids, a shelter employee or volunteer can help you find the perfect pet. They’ve spent countless hours caring for your future pet and can tell you all about their personality.
