The Benefits of
Adopting an Adult Cat
Most have outgrown that
active phase of climbing curtains and/or climbing your legs.
Young cats are still
playful even though they have outgrown the cute kitten stage.
Adult cats are less
active and can tolerate our busy lifestyles better than a kitten
that needs ongoing stimulation and socialization.
Adult cats will bond with
you just as well as kittens do (after an initial adjustment period).
Adult cats come with less
expense: their vaccinations are often up-to-date and they have
been spayed or neutered.
The temperament of an
adult cat is clearly visible whereas kittens tend to be a surprise
package.
The SPCA of Western
Quebec has many beautiful, affectionate adult cats in our Shelter,
in our Petsmart Adoption Centre, 1851 Merivale Road, Ottawa, and in our
Petcetera Adoption Centre, 1021 Cyrville Road, Ottawa.
