This Christmas, are you thinking about getting someone you love a friend they can love?
The first thing to do is, don’t rush. Have a little think. Then have another little think and ask yourself a few questions.
Do they have the financial resources to look after a little furry friend for possibly 15 or 20 years? Do they have the right sort of space that will make a happy life for a little fluff ball?
Is the person you’re buying a puppy or a kitten for going away in the holidays?
Once the holidays are over and everyone goes back to school and work, will a, still young, treasure be left at home alone for hours on end, and get bored and wreck the place?
Currently at the Pets for Life Animal Shelter in Billinudgel, they have several adult cats and several kittens, all needing a forever home.
If you are definite about having a new friend in your life, it’s a wonderful thing to adopt a cat (or dog) rather than buying from a breeder and there is still time to do that before the big, fat, red guy day.
To find out how you can adopt or foster, email: [email protected] or call Jean on 0403 533 589.
