this week we feature Catty (above) which is a ginger/white cat about one year old.

But make sure you can take care of an animal before adopting a pet.

Jennifer Paradine has put together some guidelines for adopting a pet. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision.

Is the animal right for my family and the size of my property? Is everyone in the family in agreement on adopting an animal? Can I afford this animal? Am I ready to make a long-term commitment? Am I willing to put in the time for exercise, attention and training?
