June is "Adopt a Shelter Cat" month!

Okay, if you've been thinking about adding a feline companion to your family, now is the time to do it!  It's official: June is "Adopt a Shelter Cat Month."  

There are tons of reasons why shelter cats RULE.  Here are just a few good ones:
  • Shelter cats almost always come spayed or neutered, with a full medical check-up and vaccines administered by the shelter
  • Adult shelter cats - who are always in need of forever homes - have unique personalities that are already developed, which isn't so with kittens
  • Shelter cats are housebroken!
  • You'll be saving a cat's life - and that's the most important reason of all
My two cats, Cal and Scout, are rescues from a shelter in Brooklyn and every day they make me laugh; and they inspire me to advocate on behalf of all animals.  Go to your local shelter and pick up a cat today!  Click here to find a listing of shelters in your area.
