This cat is a Balinese. You can tell by the tufted ears and plumed tail and the champagne coloring. Gorgeous cats.

Very few newspaper animals I’ve ever experience were ever neglected or mistreated because they were “accidents.” Most come from loving homes and families, and hence why the people put so much effort into trying to find homes for them.

And, I’m not attacking all animals shelters, just a large number of them, such as our local shelter, which claim to be “no kill” shelters, but kill certain breeds of animals which are supposedly “high risk.”

AliceV: It’s true some shelters do put animals to sleep when they don’t have the resources, which is a shame. But a lot of shelters are no-kill and very ethical with their treatment of animals- my own local shelter will never put an animal down to accommodate more, and will charge fees to the surrendering party if they don’t. I wouldn’t write off shelters entirely because of that, though; some do a very good job of caring for their animals and will get in touch with fosters to take in those that they can’t.

I’m not a fan of newspaper ads simply because BYBs leave a bad taste in my mouth- people who breed on purpose for a quick buck, or were too stubborn to have their animals fixed and had an ‘oops’ litter. These usually don’t even get vaccinations or the proper care they need because they weren’t “meant” to come into the world, it was by accident. I fully support foster care animals, however! A foster parent can usually tell you so much more about your pet than a random BYB who wants to get rid of the kittens/puppies can, and will take steps to ensure the pet and you are a good fit.

Not trying to argue a point or anything, but I was reading the discussion about shelter v. pet store, and though most pet stores do buy animals from mills and may have animals in less than healthy condition, the local animal shelter in my area has “put to sleep” over 200 animals in the past three months. Including a litter german shepard puppies. Despite being listed as a “no-kill” shelter. The city has dropped their contract against them, obviously, but it has left sort of a bitter taste with animal shelters. I recommend looking up foster care groups in your region as a choice for adoption (this is how my husband and I found our baby kitten), or newspaper ads.
