Adopt a Pet

Thinking of adopting a kitten? Now is the time. There are kittens everywhere.

Our new kitten, Oliver has added a lot of fun in our household and been an exceptional addition to our family, giving us lots of entertainment fun, cuddles and laughs. This smart playful kitty has immense energy, knows his name, has good kitten manners, has learned “no”, what furniture is okay and not okay and thankfully got the concept of the litter box immediately. Unafraid of people, he has been the center of attention at several of our parties.

In order to socialize him we have spent a lot of time with him with someone spending time with him every half hour the first couple of weeks. Now we‘re down to once an hour for a few minutes if we are here, working at home. As he becomes more independent we have, on weekends we have left him alone almost 4 hours each day.

We found him at the Pasadena Humane Society Shelter from his picture posted. We went in to check him out in person spending a good 30 minutes with him learning a bit of his personality… which is hard to do when he is in a cage.

The $70 adoption fee was quite a deal. It included the first 2 sets of shots, Feline Leukemia testing and neutering. Since the Pasadena Shelter is associated with the ASPCA, we also got our first check up at our veterinarian for FREE (within the first 5 days). All of this would have run me over $200.

If you’re thinking about adopting a new pet, do check your local shelters first, especially for kittens. With all the cut backs the city is imposing on the shelters, you should try to rescue a pet first. They’ll add a happy new dimension to your life.
