A message from Buddy, Purrsident of the Americats:
June is national Adopt A Cat Month here in our great country, and it’s no coincidence that it coincides with kitten season when hundreds of thousands of little buddies are born.
Those babies will need forever homes and attentive human servants to see to their needs, but don’t forget the adult buddies in your local shelter! They need homes too, and if you like to keep things low key, they’re the buddies for you. Bonus: They come pre-installed with purrsonalities, so there’s less guesswork involved if you’re adding a new living room lion to your existing pride.
Just remember, June is ADOPT a cat month, not “buy a cat from a breeder” month! When you adopt a cat, you’re making a friend for life who will be forever grateful to you…although kitty will still expect you to be a good servant, because that is the natural order of things!
Do you patriotic duty and adopt an Americat!

Great post. Sadly, purebreds end up in kill and no kill shelters. Too damaged to adopt out or put in cat shows. This is the world we live in when cats and dogs are props and perfection is the only way purebreds get adopted.

You mean purebreds that don’t meet whatever weird and arbitrary coat patterns that the breed clubs say they “should” have?
That whole breed world is bizarre.

I volunteer at a no-kill animal shelter – Cape May County Animal Welfare Society. For every dog we have, there are about ten cats, and it seems that the people who run the place are much more dog-oriented than cat-oriented. At least the cats aren’t caged, but we need to do waaayyyyyyy more to get them adopted.
If anybody out there is looking for a sweet, adorable, playful cat, we have dozens.

Thanks, Barreleh. I just looked it up — is it the one in south Jersey?
I’m happy to help if you want to publicize adoption events, fundraisers, etc.

Bella hasn’t adopted a kitty, but she has been adopting Merlin, a fellow earthling who needed support – she also supports the same animal sanctuary every month as well https://shop.hillside.org.uk/merlin-adoption/
Given the size of the UK compared to the USA, she is sure Buddy appreciates how big Hillside is (In the UK!!!), and with over 2000 animals under their care, they are amazing. We both know the wonderful people at Tabbys place, who Bella also supports with regular gifts
