Oh yes, do get a sceond cat! I've seen such an improvement in my Allen's personality since we adopted Pouncer from a shelter last year. Allen used to be quite a loner and never ever anted loving from his humans. Now he's always curling up with Pouncer and beggin us for scratches and rubs!

Neither of my boys are purebred, but they are incredibly handsome (at least to me! ) and have such sweet dispositions. Pouncer is actually a therapy cat - we go to the local nursing home and have the residents enjoy his company. not many cats can do that, but my little rescue can!

The best thing about rescue is obviously the ability to give a homeless cat the second chance at a full life. But in return you get a cat that knows you saved him/her and have offered it a safe and loving home. It might take time if you find a cat that experienced some hard times, but the rewards are unimaginable when they come to trust you implicitly!
