3. Abandoned!

As some of you might now, thousands of cats are abandoned by their owners every year, and we can all be a part of the solution by adopting a cat instead of buying one. You should also know this next thing before going to a pet shop.

2. Critical Information!

When you buy a cat from a pet store, usually they won’t have a lot of background information on it and so you will be mostly on your own. Rescue centers and adoption centers, however, tend to keep a track of the cat’s background and can tell you all you need to know about it.

1. Friendship!
