Animal Services Division impounds thousands of cats every year. We have written this with the help of The Enchanted Cat Club of Albuquerque, and appreciate their contribution to helping cat owners succeed with their pets.
Cats are wonderful pets.
They are entertaining, affectionate, and astoundingly self-reliant, making them ideal for our busy lifestyle. Like any pet, however, they require the proper care and a return of affection by their special humans. Selecting the right cat for you and your lifestyle is very important. We encourage you to begin preparing for your pet before you bring it home by getting a general book about cats. There are a number of excellant books available which explain issues of cat behavior, health and training, including teaching your cat to walk on a leash.
