I can thoroughly recommend rescue shelter animals as pets. They know full well the difference between their previous 'owner' and you, and become very affectionate, loyal pets.
Kinda makes me sad seeing people buy from pet stores. Every puppy someone buys, is a mother kept in a breeding cell at a puppy farm, and a lost dog that can't be rehomed and is euthanized. |
My cat, now 15 years old, came from RSPCA when she was about 10 months old. She has ALWAYS been an indoor cat, and has never been in a position to kill anything.
We had another cat prior to the current one, also from the RSPCA, and even though she was both an indoor and outdoor cat, she was no killer. I think she had been taken from her mother too early and had not learned to hunt. She was friends with all the local wildlife-even a goanna! They used to lie next to each other in the sun. The blue tongues living in the front garden used to sit next to her on the front lawn, and if we went near them, they would move closer to her for protection-I suppose they didn't have to worry about kookaburras while sitting next to a cat! She never even looked at birds, except cockatoos-she was afraid of them!
