If you are looking for your next cat, please look no further. Either visit your local pound and/or rescue or check online here.

You can find featured shelters, shelters in your neck of the woods and even search by breed, age and gender. You can also select to make sure the cat is cat friendly with other cats, or even kid or dog friendly. I’m positive you will find the perfect pet at any rescue you choose.

These aren’t “bad” pets. I’ve personally rescued ALL my cats in one way or another, even if it was getting it from someone who couldn’t care for it anymore vs. from a shelter. There are too many needy cats out there for you to pay upwards of $500 or more for a cat from a breeder.

Heck, my mom got a long haired Himalayan cat from a rescue that was given up because of an eye infection that took less than a month to cure via medication. The cat is amazing and they named him Simba. He was 6 months old when they rescued him from the shelter and he is still with them today. This is an EXPENSIVE cat that they found at the shelter for a fraction of the cost!

So don’t think you will be passing up your dream cat, you will find one that will steal your heart, just go.

My current cat, Ninja, is actually from a tiger trainer I worked with while performing magic. He had tons of tigers, bears, lions, leopards and more… and then he had tons of house cats and this one little pure black kitten was a spit fire and totally took to me.

At the end of our job working with him, he surprised me by bringing her to me at a stop I was at in my car! I was so happy! It just felt like it was right.

All animals (including dogs) before her have been at local pounds or we did have one we got from a super sick pet shop going out of business… every animal in the shop was infected and no one wanted the animals so we adopted one from them and got it better and he was a great cat, just needed a little help to health!

There are too many animals in need of good homes so look at your local pound/shelter before you go shopping for a pure bred $1,000 cat.
