PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ARE...

SHELTER CATS?

CLICK Little Calvin has found himself in a place with
HERE many other homeless animals. At 6 months old
for video he is still a baby and does not understand. So
of Calvin I am going to introduce you to a few of his
newfound friends and try to explain to him just
what the term “SHELTER CATS” really means.

Dear Calvin,

You are a SHELTER CAT because you were
abandoned and ended up in a pound. Even though
you were not adopted directly from the pound you
were luckily chosen to be amongst all the other
kitties going to rescue and your life was saved.

• Did you know Calvin that shelter cats are a

VERY special breed? Though they can be
any size, shape, age or colour shelter cats
are special because they have been given
a second chance at life, just like you have!

A SHELTER CAT can be any age, but many are kittens like handsome brothers Harper, Harrison & Hugo

pair like Jiminy and Pinocchio above. Yet to
adopt two already bonded cats is ideal….

“ Calvin did you know that for every SHELTER CAT waiting to be adopted there is another POUND CAT
wanting to be RESCUED. That is why it is so important to ADOPT A SHELTER CAT for you save TWO lives.”

Thinking of adopting a cat?
WHY NOT ADOPT A PAIR….

We are so happy
we adopted a
bonded pair!

Cats are very social animals and love to cuddle up with a friend but if you are thinking of adopting one cat
now, then another at a later date it is far easier to adopt TWO cats who already co-exist together peacefully.
Adopting ONE cat and then trying to bond it with a strange cat at a later date can be fraught with stress,
not only for the cats, but for their human family. A bonded pair of cats, like ANNABELLE & ASTRO above
who were adopted together, already loved each other and were a ready made little happy fur family….
