Where to find a pet?

Unless you know a friend or neighbourwith a cat who needs a home, the firstplace to look for a cat is your nearest animal refuge. A number of animal charitiestake in stray or unwanted animals and others confiscated from cruel owners, and are always in need of ndw homes forthem. There will be kinens and marurecats and, especially if you prefer a moreplacid pet, you might consider giving afinal home to one of those elderly catswho are sometimes more difficult toplace. While refuge cats are mainly animals of unknown pedigree you may findcats of many different breeds and mixture to choose from. Vith a refuge cat, aswell as finding yourself a pet, you have the added pleasure of knowing that youhave probably saved a life, for many unwanted animals still have to bi putdown. The refuge may want to check you out to ensure that you can provide aproper home and will usually charge a small fee as a contribution rowardstheir costs. If you have set your heart on a pedigree cat of a particular breed then youshould seek out a breeder to obtain one. Breeders will usually only have kirtensfor sale but they keep in touch withenthusiasts for the breed and may knowof someone with a mature cat that needsrehoming. The best place to see lots ofpedigree cats and kirtens is at a largeChampionship Cat Show. Most majorcities have at least one such show each remember that ionghairs will requiremuch more grooming and will aiso causemore probiems for anyone allergic to catfur. Orientals tend to shed less heavilywhile Rex and Sphinx breeds produceeven less fur in the air. Rigorous grooming will minimize random shedding.What is certain with a pedigree cat isthat you know what it will look likewhen mature. Some pedigree cats can beexpensive to obtain, especially if they arerare and in demand. If you do not wanrto breed, you may find kittens which arenot quite of show quality available aspets. These are not so expensive to buy,or you could choose a crossbred kittenfrom an accidental mating or one notsuited to a breeding programme couldbecome available. In such cases thebreeder may insist that the cat is neuteredso that you cannot breed from it.
