How do you say no?

I had to run to Petsmart for some shampoo, and I made the mistake of going over to their cages. Omigosh. My weakness is fat orange males! And what do you know....the most handsome orange male, neutered, 2 years old just laying there. He looked so miserable.

His story said he was a stray and this restaurants staff started feeding and befriending him. He certainly wasnt feral, but all the cats, you can just tell they need homes. They had another beautiful calico.

I am at my max with 7, and I just tell myself, I can take in 50 more and theyll be another 50 that need homes.

What a pretty boy he was.

Kudos to PetSmart for giving all the cats fresh water, food and a clean litter. As far as I can see they arent making anything off these cats, his adoption fee was only 50$ and he was already neutered.

I came home and hugged my guys extra tight!

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL , AS THERE WAS A DROP DEAD GORGEOUS OWESOME ORANGE CAT CHEDD-AR AT THE SPCA ADOPT A THON AT PETCETERA ON JANUARY 17TH.
HE HAD SUCH A HAPPY MRRRREEEEEEOOOOOWWW AND A ORANGE CAT PURRSONALITY , AND AT 3 WAS GOOD FOR MANY YEARS TO GO.
AND I HAD TO LEAVE CHEDD-AR BEHIND.
I PRAY THAT CHEDD-AR FOUND HIS PLACE IN THE SUN.

Oh gosh, it is hard isn't it? I am glad places like PetSmart partner with local animal shelters to try and get our furries friends new homes. Lord knows the shelters can use all the help they can get.

At times one of my friends and I go to our local Pet Smart on our lunch hour. I always tell her to keep my cash and credit card otherwise I'll be tempted to adopt EVERYONE!

The kitties are so well cared for at Pet Smart. One day while we were there one of the staff came in. One by one she took the kitty out of the cage then held and hugged each kitty while softly talking to each one. Plenty of individual attention was given. Way to go, Pet Smart!

Believe me, their cages were spotless. Everyone had food, water, a clean litter and a bed to lay on. Naturally most were asleep. But you dont see that with Pet stores. There was a pet store in NY that I turned in many many times. It was filthy and the animals were always sick, sneezing, runny eyes. The cats always had 18 balls of poop in their litter, and you know cats hate that. And most of them were pedigrees. If you arent going to maintain the animals you shouldnt be allowed to sell them.

Im pretty sure Petco, which is over here too also has cats for adoption, although I didnt go over when I was in there because normally I know better. There did have cages in there.
