When you want to bring a cat to your home, you can do something wonderful like considering cat adoption. We all realize that the animal population has become a problem, and cats are among these. This especially applies to the older cat. There are many advantages to choosing an older cat, especially when it gives you a look of love. 

If you choose to adopt an older cat, you can give it a new lease on life. With an older cat, you avoid several problems because an older cat is over the stage of tearing through the house, as a little mischievous kitten would do. They are also litter trained, so all they would need is a litter box with some good commercial kitty litter in it to keep the smell down. Today most cats are neutered or spayed, which help cut down on any possible smells that may arise from cat urine, and with such good commercial litters on the market, it won't be a big problem. 

An older cat that you would find at cat adoptions will be ready to settle into your home, especially if it has gone through a hard time before it came to the pet shelter. This type of cat seems to know and appreciate your affection, and is only too glad to give it back. You will have to bring home a few toys for your new cat and there are many to choose from to keep your cat entertained and happy. You will also need a scratch post for your new cat. This will help him sharpen his claws on the scratch post instead of your furniture. If you have a problem in getting him to use the scratch pad instead of the furniture, all you need to do is keep a spray bottle full of clear water nearby, and every time he goes to scratch your furniture give him a little spray. This works very well and he will get the hint in no time. Cats do not like water, and there are so many beautiful scratch pads available for your cat there is really no need of him using anything else. This is not only for cat adoptions but also true for any cat. 

You will find places on the Internet where you can adopt a cat, as well as in pet shelters. Here you can shop around from the comfort of your own home. There are many sites that offer pets for adoption, and that will help you go through the procedure of getting one. There are so many pictures of cats on these sites that you will find it very difficult to choose which cat you want. These sites are geared to provide you with any information you could want about cat adoptions and give you support even after the adoption is over.
