OK, I need to rant. Please don't take offense.
It's not the puppy's or kitten's fault where they come from! They still deserve a good home with lots of love! I'm not supporting puppy or kitten mills when I say that. I bought two kittens from pet stores, one would not have survived had I not taken him home and nursed him back to health. He was so malnourished. He needed to be fed every 3 hours around the clock and would not eat unless I held him. I feel as though I rescued both of them. They both were my favorites of all the cats I have had. IMO, go ahead and rescue one, but do what you can to put the pet store selling them out of business. Bad press usually helps with that! If no pet stores sell animals, the mills will have no place to sell them to and they too will go out of business. Where I live, thanks to bad press, there are no pet stores left that sell dogs and cats. A few sell hamsters and other such critters, snakes and lizards etc. |
