Where to find kittens

Good enough. To me you sounded kinda elitist. Sorry if I was wrong but I come across the pet owner elitist on occasion, and they really bug me.

 

Re: Pet Owner Elitist

Not sure what a pet owner elitist is. I have trapped and adopted out many a stray cat (only one kitten born of a feral litter). All the others were full grown adults. None of the adults were spayed or neutered so my guess is the owner was not educated or cared much about the animal. Some were de-clawed but not "fixed" and left to stray. I've been fortunate to grow up in the company of dogs, cats, horses, pocket pets, reptiles, fish etc you name it. I've been involved in field studies and have a great interest in nature biology. This doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about, only that I have some experience to speak of. Medical advances in animal husbandry have extended the life span of our pets so they can live longer. All I'm saying is pet ownership comes with many years of responsibility and expense - not something to enter into lightly.

On a side note: one day I ran into an adoption clinic at a local Petsmart. There was an 11 year old Shitzsu for adoption. Its family gave him up because the kids wanted a new puppy, so they got rid of him. I couldn't help thinking that one day those kids will put their parents away in a home when they get too old! What a lesson to teach your children. Fortunately the dog was given a second chance with a new family and was not euthanized. Thank-you to all the caring volunteers out there who rescue, foster and adopt out unwanted animals! It's with proper education and intervention these shelters would not have to exist.
