June marks the height of “kitten season,” when shelters and rescues are full of adorable young cats in need of loving homes. It also means many wonderful adult cats are waiting for their own chance at a fresh start making it the perfect time to celebrate Adopt-a-Cat Month.
There’s no better time to welcome a furry friend into your family. If you’re thinking about adopting, here are some local organizations to check out:
- CARMA Cat Rescue Maritimes – Antigonish Chapter
- Nova Scotia SPCA – Antigonish
- Dorothy’s Cat Sanctuary River – Bourgeois
Before adopting, be sure to take the time to understand the ongoing and unexpected costs of pet ownership and check that veterinary care is available in your area so you can provide the best possible life for your new companion.
