I was a shelter cat that was adopted in June as well…that reminds me, Momma and Dad owe me presents…MOL Momma would like to adopt another kitty, but right now, it just wouldn’t be feasible, since money is tight and caring for Sasha and I is about all that they can handle. Momma just doesn’t believe in adopting just to be doing it. She feels that if she cannot afford to care for kitties the way they should be, then she shouldn’t have cats.

I have adopted three shelter cats since last december. It was the best decision I have ever made and I can not even count the amount of times I have been sooo thankful to have them with me. As much as I wish I could adopt them all its not possible, so I am doing my best to help the shelters and find them nice homes

According to the Humane Society’s Calendar ( http://www.animalsheltering.org/programs_and_services/events_calendar/ ), June is the Humane Society’s Adopt-a-Cat Month and ASPCA’s Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month. I think that’s where the confusion came in.

If you have 3 minutes, I recommend checking out this documentary on SPCA in LA:

Adopting shelter pets is the way to go!

Thanks for your input, Sandy.

Although “Adopt a Shelter Cat” is more specific and in keeping with American Humane’s intent, in the materials sent to me by American Humane, the registered trademark for their campaign is “Adopt a Cat Month,” and this is consistent with the verbiage and the trademark used on their website.

Because it’s a registered trademark, I can’t change it to “Adopt a Shelter Cat” month.

I’m a former shelter cat also!! There were so many cats that needed to be adopted, mom wishes she could take them all home.

I was adopted from the Camden Co. (NJ) Animal Shelter which is one county over from Pumpkin Puss. What a small world.

I’m a former shelter cat, and I was adopted from the Burlington Co. (NJ) Animal Shelter in June 2007. I’m so glad that my parents found me, but I hope many more kitties also find their forever homes, too.
