June is "Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month!"
06/10/2008 - By J.L. Fraker
Visit your local animal shelter this month and consider the many great benefits of adopting a cat or kitten.
"A meow massages the heart." - Stuart McMillanThis June, not only in Lexington but across the nation, shelters have an influx of cats due to the warmer temperatures. If you have been thinking about adopting a cat, this might be an opportune time to do so. Sponsored by the ASPCA, national "Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat" month is an excellent time to honor our age-old furry friends.
“One of the great joys of life is the companionship of an animal,” said ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres. “By focusing the spotlight on what great companions cats make, we hope to provide positive outcomes for adoptable shelter cats, even if in a small way. I encourage shelters all around the country to join with us in celebrating ‘Adopt-A-Shelter Cat Month’ through June.”
Here are some great reasons, according to Judy Sheldon to own a cat:
1. Cats are intuitive.
2. Cats are playful.
3. Cats are entertaining.
4. Cats are clean.
5. Cats are smart.
6. Cats are good at relationships.
7. Cats are good at teaching children empathy.
8. Cats are agile.
9. Cats are good hunters.
10. Cats have a healing purr.
11. Cats are loyal.
