You help break the cycle of pet overpopulation. There are not enough homes for all the animals that are born every year. Adopting from a shelter helps weaken the pet overpopulation cycle.

Save a life Shelter and rescue pets need a second chance. They've been lost, abandoned or surrendered. Depending on where they are, they may be at risk of euthanasia if there isn't the space or funding to keep housing them. When you adopt a dog or cat, you give them the secure and loving home they deserve.

Adoption: The Benefits Cats that have been rescued are more likely to be healthy because they have been treated and cared for, as well as vetted, before being placed for adoption. Also, when you adopt, you're saving a life and helping the cat to avoid being in a shelter environment.

Settling a rescue cat in your home The most important thing to remember when introducing a new cat to your home is to let them take things at their own pace. Create a safe place where they can view their new surroundings, adjust and become familiar. Set up a litter station with two litter trays per cat.
