See this cat? She's cute, isen't she? But she's an adult cat. Rather get a cute little kitten, right?Thats what most people would say. Also, most people would rather get a kitten for free on the side of the road and say they saved a kitten and therefor are good, animal lovers. What they don't relize is that kitten is not free. It needs, flea medicene, to get shots, and be fixed. It also needs a vet check-up.
Each year thousands of cats and kittens are abondened in shelters around the world. After a short period of time, they are put to sleep. The shelters are not evil; they need room for the other animals coming in. They ask a small adoption fee, but it covers all needs of the kitten/cat/dog/puppy/critter.
