As a general rule, kittens should be active, outgoing and willing to be handled. A shy cat may be more suited to a quiet household. Decide if you want a long, medium, or shorthaired cat. A longer coat will require regular combing on your part to prevent matting. Your vet will be able to provide all the shots your cat needs, and will help keep your cat healthy and happy.
Healthy cats have clear, bright eyes, pink gums, a clean nose and ears, and a smooth, shiny coat.
Check your cat regularly for fleas, which appear as small black specks on the fur. The humane shelters have wonderful cats of all ages looking for homes. Inc. All rights reserved.
