Читать книгу The Cat Handbook - Karen Leigh Davis - Страница 27

Once you’ve decided that you want a cat, and what type of cat you want, the next step is finding a suitable candidate. If papers and pedigrees are not important to you, you should not have to search far for a feline companion, as there is no shortage of random-bred cats in need of good homes. To begin, check your local animal shelters, humane society chapters, animal rescue organizations, or cat clubs. Larger organizations are usually listed in the telephone book or advertise in local newspapers. Most veterinarians’ offices have information about such organizations, and many even post a list on their bulletin boards of pets needing homes. Other avenues to pursue include the classified section of your local newspaper, pet stores, or friends and neighbors with unplanned litters.
