I have had pets since 2002 and I still have them now. My first pet was a black mixed-breed called Jet. (Below)

My second pet was a purebred ragamuffin, Toby, which I got in 2005. (We didn’t turn the dishwasher on. ^ ^)

My third, I got from my grandmother, an orange tabby, Mike, which I got in 2006.

And a new addition to the family, Simba -- a Siamese 5 month year old, which I got in 2008!

I got Simba from a company that is partners with the Baton Rouge Petsmart called Cat Haven. Simba is a wonderful pet, and had been well taken care of, so I am donating to Cat Haven to help them find homes for even more unwanted cats. You have to apply to get a kitten or cat because they want to be sure that they get a good owner. You also have to pay an adoption fee, to cover the cost of getting them fixed and their vaccines. So please spay and neuter your cats so there won’t be any unwanted kittens.

My cat, Mike, was an unwanted kitten also. My grandmother didn’t spay her cat and ended up with kittens, which she had to give away. Luckily, Mike came with us to a good home. But please don’t take in wild cats because they might carry diseases which could sicken your cats and maybe even you. Feeding wild cats is fine; I do that so the cats in my neighborhood don’t starve because some of their owners don’t feed them. So: Feeding wild cats-yes. Taking in wild cats-no. If you would like a cat or kitten and you live near Baton Rouge, I would highly recommend going to Cat Haven. Here is their website: http://www.cathaven.org

If you don’t live in Baton Rouge, this is also a good site for pet adoption: http://www.petfinder.com
