Top Ten Reasons to Adopt a Cat in June

1. June is National Adopt-A-Cat month (there’s that).
2. The Richmond SPCA is offering 1/2 price kitten adoptions and many other local shelters are offering discounts on cat/kitten adoption fees this month.
3. Having a cat can reduce your blood pressure and prevent heart disease.
4. Cats are very clean—they bathe themselves!
5. Cats are independent and can be left alone while you are at work.
6. Cats do not need to be housebroken—using the litter box comes naturally to them.
7. Cats do not need a lot of space. They are perfect pets for apartments and smaller homes.
8. Taking care of a cat can help teach a child responsibility and humane values.
9. Cats get plenty of exercise living indoors. Just 15 minutes of playtime each day will satisfy a cat.
10. Approximately 4 million homeless cats end up in animal shelters every year in the United States. By adopting, you’ll be saving a life.

Bonus Reason:

11. The more cats in the neighborhood, the more exercise for the dogs!

Improve your life with a cat’s companionship, and combat the tragedy of overpopulation!
