Adopting a Shelter Cat or Kitten

By VeronicaHB

I strongly recommend that anyone who is wanting to add a kitten or cat to their life, do so by adopting one from a shelter or rescue organization. I have done this often and have found the following tips helpful when bringing home a cat or kitten from a shelter.

Dr. Elsey's Litter for Cats that Won't Use Litter Box

We were thrilled when we got our adorable 1 year old male cat from an adoption center. We figured a lot of the first year problems would have been resolved. Wrong! He would use the cat box sporadically. We took him to the vet who said that there are no medical issues.

Finch Laid an Egg

Two weeks ago I got a male zebra finch to pair with my female. The male immediately started doing his breeding dance. A few days after that my female laid one egg and none since. I've been keeping an eye on her checking every day for signs of her being egg bound so far there are zero. The egg's most likely a dud, but each finch takes turns sitting on the egg so maybe the egg is not a dud. Should I be worrying that my female only laid one egg? Is there a reason it's only one?
