BRO SOMEBODY FUCKING ADOPT HIM

Boosting this so the little guy can find a home

Gas Chamber: Think twice before surrendering your pet to a shelter

Such a nice sentiment! <3

I have 3 cats and they all have minor disabilities (One is missing half of her tail, one has a heart defect and is always snotty because her immune system is compromised, and one is very old and out of hearing)

They are all wonderful and very loving animals who loves nothing more than to be near us and cuddle (The old boy sleeps in my bed every night - and most of the day xD)

Definitely worth an extra thought when you're "shopping" for pets. <3

This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I’ve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.

A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said “absolutely not”. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!

Many people have the initial instinct of “nope” when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook “different” animals.

All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a “different” pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.

Don’t dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that’s missing an eye and see what he’s all about!

The Compassionate Choice: Why Adopting from Your Local Humane Society is Better than Buying Pets from Breeders

Choosing to bring a new furry friend into your home is an exciting and memorable experience. However, it's essential to consider the source of your pet carefully. While purchasing pets from breeders might seem convenient or glamorous, adopting from your local humane society offers unparalleled benefits for both you and the countless animals in need. In this blog post, we'll explore why adoption should be your first choice when welcoming a new companion into your life.

1. Saving Lives: By adopting from a local humane society, you become part of a compassionate movement that saves lives every day. These organizations provide shelters and care for countless abandoned, neglected, or surrendered animals who are desperately seeking loving homes. By choosing adoption over buying from breeders, you directly contribute to reducing euthanasia rates and making a significant difference in animal welfare.

2. Wide Variety of Animals: Humane societies often have an incredible range of animals available for adoption. Whether you're looking for a specific breed or simply open to finding your perfect match, there's an excellent chance that your local shelter has exactly what you're looking for. From energetic puppies and kittens to mature dogs and cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, or even reptiles – the selection is vast.

3. Lower Costs: Adopting from a humane society typically comes at a fraction of the cost compared to buying pets from breeders. Adoption fees usually include initial vaccinations, spaying/neutering services (if not already done), microchipping, and sometimes even training classes or behavioural consultations. On the other hand, acquiring a pet through a breeder can involve exorbitant expenses such as purchase price, veterinary costs for initial checkups and shots – which can add up significantly.

4. Healthier Pets: Pets available for adoption undergo thorough health examinations, ensuring they are in optimal condition before being placed with their forever families. Additionally, shelters often provide necessary vaccinations and preventive treatments for common ailments such as fleas, ticks, and worms. Conversely, some breeders may prioritize quantity over quality, leading to potential health issues in pets acquired from them.

5. Supportive Community: Adopting from a local humane society allows you to become part of a supportive community of fellow pet owners who share your love and enthusiasm for animals. Many shelters organize events and activities that promote responsible pet ownership, offer educational resources, training programs, and even post-adoption support. This sense of belonging fosters lifelong relationships while providing an invaluable network of information and assistance.

Choosing adoption over buying pets from breeders is not only a compassionate decision but also one that positively impacts the lives of countless animals in need. By opening your heart and home to a shelter animal, you save lives, enjoy a wide variety of choices, spend less money upfront on fees and medical expenses, receive healthier pets, and join a supportive community dedicated to animal welfare.

Next time you're ready to add a new member to your family, take the time to visit your local humane society or animal rescue organization. Together, we can make this world a better place for our furry friends – one adoption at a time!
