It's kitten season! So this is the time of year when we really need the community to step up and help us find homes for our feline friends, and with all cats available at half price in June, there is no better time to act!

Although we've got lots of kittens right now, we always have plenty of adorable adult cats who need loving homes too. Keep in mind that older cats have already developed distinct personalities, so if you're looking for a particular type of behavior in your cat an adult might be the right choice for you!

Are You Ready For a Cat?

You may want a cat, but are you really ready for one? Here's a list of questions you may want to ask yourself.

Are you willing to put in the necessary time and effort? Cats are fairly low maintenance, but they still need to be fed and have their litter changed. You should also have someone that can handle those duties when you go out of town.

Do you have the financial means to care for an animal? An adoption fee is just the beginning, as food, litter, toys, and visits to a veteranarian can add up.

Are you or any family members allergic? If someone in the household is going to be miserable everytime they get near the new kitty, it's probably not a good idea to get one, regardless of how cute you think they are.

Are cats allowed on your property? As much as we enjoy sending animals to loving homes, we do not promote the housing of animals in locations where they are prohibited.

Do you still feel like you're ready to add a cat to your family? If so, what are you waiting for? Come visit us at the Houston SPCA today! We're open for adoptions 7 days a week from 11am to 8pm. For more information visit houstonspca.org today!
