Have you been to the Somerset Regional Animal Shelter lately???? Then you've noticed that they have Cats of all shapes, sizes, colors, and Purssonalities. Orange ones, tabbies, torbies, tuxedos,white ones, black ones, and of course, my all time favorite, The TORTIE!
Kitten season will soon be upon us, but don't forget, Kittens are only kittens for a short period of time, and then they turn into Adults. Please remember that adults, the ones that were once kittens, with all that kitten playfulness, also long for a home of their own. They have much love to give, and have already learned that sitting on a lap or curling up next to you on the couch is a great thing.
Need more convincing - Here are ten top reasons to adopt an older kitty:
10. Older cats are calmer.
9. Their personalities are well developed and a good match is easier to make
8. There’s no question as to how big they’ll get
7. They are less likely to get into mischief around the house
6. They need less attention than young kittens, but can still be quite playful
5. They still make strong bonds with their new families
4. Many don’t mind if they are left alone while you are at work or school
3. Cats often live for 15 or even 20 years, so an 8 year old cat is only middle-aged and has many years of affection left to give
2. These wonderful and loving kitties deserve a second chance
and the #1 REASON TO ADOPT AN ADULT CAT IS......
1.Kittens aren’t kittens forever!

Rose, You must be good people caring for animals. We grew up in Plainfield and my mom started a chapter of Daisy Miller's Animal Protection Union in 1932. She and a few others left the APU and started the original Plainfield Humane Society. It was a depression. However people gave to the animals. Animals picked up were kept for two weeks and then destroyed. The PHS stepped in and took many of the animals and found homes for them. Students stood on corners during tag day collections. A very wealthy man stepped in and built new runs and a large hospital. There were large red hearts on the buildings and wherever, "Have a Heart for the Animals. Switching from a lifetime of dogs, we have a Siberian Forest Cat. She took over the house and keeps us in tow.
I look forward to your Blogs.
