For me i could only have 6 pets.Two or three of the six would be bettas.At the moment I can take care of 2 cats and 1 betta great.No problem.I am already planning another betta.The Betta Bug has bitten.I would someday in the far future like to have a horse.But right know 2 cats and 2 or so bettas will be it at this time.

How many can you financially and physically take care of? Can you meet their physical and emotional needs? How will you pay a huge vet bill? Got a plan for other emergencies--theirs or your own? Are there pet limits where you live? How many times can you stand to get your heart broken??

I have 32 pets right now--23 dogs, 9 cats. I'm financially stable, have lots of room both in my house and outside. I have a great vet, a savings account that is only for vet expenses and a paid-off credit card that I only use in the event of a major unexpected vet bill. I can afford their food(and have room to store a ton of dog food at a time, I buy full pallets at a time), their treats, toys, ect. I have a secure job that allows me to flex my time if needed to make vet appointments or care for my animals. I have an emergency evacuation plan if I have to get them all out in one trip. I have a plan for the event that I can't care for them. I have a routine for meeting their needs(cleaning, watering, feeding, exercise). I have a hubby who will help if I need him to and who builds a fine fence!
