I just wonder what the deal is with PetsMart. I adopted both Jazz and Scout from Animal Works, a shelter/rescue clinic that was running an extra adoption site in SuperPetz pet store. They charged $65 for cats/kittens. Now Animal Works had pulled out of SuperPetz and moved into PetsMart and they charge $110 for cats/kittens. Thing is you can go to Animal Works clinic in a neighboring town and adopt directly from them for $65. Sounds like PetsMart is the reason for the increase. Do they charge a big fee to the shelters for use of their store? That's a real shame if so.

Christa, I agree that the animals in PetsMart probably have more exposure and better chance than one at a shelter, especially a kill-shelter. Good luck with whatever you decide and I think you are wise to take your time and find that perfect match for you and Josie.
