Who has adopted a cat from a shelter?

I have adopted two and they are the most loving cats going.I also used to help out at the cats home when it was just down the road from me,but it has now moved 4 miles down the road.I think it is shame that there are soo many cats in a cats home and i think alot of places now let people foster the older cats as they do find it hard to find them homes.

I have gotten one from the shelter, but I am a cat rescue now, and hope to find good homes, like yours, for about 8 of my cats

I got one from the shelter. I always have cats that I got from the street or a from a friend. But this one I just adopted 4 months ago. She is the sweetest cat that I ever had. Well, all of my cats are sweet but Asia is very affectionate.

Call her name and she will come to you with her "motor running" She loves to purr

Here she is now. I uploaded a picture for you to see and BTW, she is the one in my avvy, too

Hi Lemonadedush

Wow funny you should mention the name of the cat your going to get

That was the name of the cat that I was supposed to get from the PetSmart rescue shelter His name was also Lover Boy but he was a big orange and tan Tabby and he was gorgeous!

Well we couldn't get him that day because when we got there they were closed so we had to come back the next day to get him . Well by the time I got back to pick him up somebody had already adopted him~

We really wanted him to but we didn't pay for him because as I said they were closed I got there as early as I could because I had to work that day.

But I did pick out my gray,black and tan tabby my baby JINX! He is a real sweetie and I have posted and responded to so many topics about him already I am so glad Lover Boy was gone because I wouldn't have gotten our JINX



He didn't even have a name he only had a number when I came to him he got out of the cage I picked him up and he looked at me with those beautiful green eyes and I knew that was it for me LOL I said I want this one!

But I had left my cash at home not realizing it and have to leave him there but I told him I would come back for him I hated to leave him but I did come back of course and its been a year and a half and I have to tell you he is our baby boy!

Also the lady in the cat adoption at Petsmart later said to me "You didn't want lover boy he was lazy didn't do much but sit around and eat and wasn't the kind of cat that liked to be handled very much and very territorial.

So it all worked out just fine! When Jinx I came and picked up Jinx he actually went to each cage and looked at the other cats as to say goodbye but one cat swiped at him it was a she her name was Galina and they told me that she is a real DIVA you can have no other cats if you adopt her because she will fight with them.

So it was fate for me and JINX to meet and I am so glad to have him (although he is a typical cat and likes to sharpen those claws on my dining room chair and tip his water dish over from time to time I wouldn't trade him for anything

Hey Lemonadedusk,
I have adopted 3 cats from an animal shelter, the first one of them is a regular tabby named Chandler, the second one of them is a white one named Boo, and the third one of them is a pure breed siamese seal point named Tash and ever since we got Tash home he has not shutup except long enough to eat a meal or wash himself. Now Boo was a very sad case as i went in to donate some cat food to the shelter and went to look at the cats and found out that Boo had been in the shelter for 6 months. All of these cats we love very much and my parents have adopted many, many more cats over the years. Also i forgot to mention that quite recently I found a turkish angora from what we can see running around outside work and when i saw that at the end of the day she was still there i could not help but take her home to my place.

I have adopted 4 and they are just the best thing that could have happened to me. They are very very lovable. They are just the awesome cats that you can ever get!! If you are willing to adopt cats on an animal shelter trust me they are going to make your life happy.:-)

Practically every cat I've had in the last 39 years has been adopted as a stray. Last year my cat of 21 years died. My house was so empty & my patience nil. The local Humane Society was begging for people to adopt cats from them. So, I go to the local shelter to adopt 1 kitten. Several friends suggested I get 2 so they'd have a playmate. I assured them I was going to do good getting 1 as they were about $100 each. Well, I get to the shelter & as I open the door I see a sign reading "Today Only 2 kittens for $110". I go in & start looking. I fell in love with one long haired black sweetie. I went to put him back in his cage so I could keep looking. Lo & behold, in the cage below him was a short haired black beauty reaching out for him. I asked the attendant if they were brothers. She said no but they had come in on the same day & they played with each other through the cage bars. Of course I took his partner in crime out to see what he was like. He wasn't as sweet & loving as the one that I fell in love with. He was a feisty little firecracker!!! I put him back in his cage & kept looking. As I was checking out some other babies I could see them sticking their little feet out through the cage & swatting at each other. They looked so cute. I go back & take out the one that I wanted. When I told the attendant "I'll take this one." the other one began to cry & yowl. It broke my heart!!! How could I separate them??? Well, I couldn't!!!! So, I left with 2 black kitties that day & we have never looked back. They are just a little over a year old now. Every morning they chase each other up & down my hall. They fight & roll around like crazy. However, just let one of them cry & the other comes running!!! They love each other as brothers & I wouldn't dare split them up!!!! I know they'd be miserable if I did.

I don't need to go to the shelter I have 4 cats an they were all strays that found thier way to my home an my 2 dogs one was found in a creek an my other was found in a garbage dumster I just seem to be at the right place at the right time or like my hubby says IO have sucker written on my mailbox I think the cats are walking around the neighborhood passing out flyers if you need a good home go to my moms house she will take care of you no the I dont take in nomore the ones i find now Ido my best to find them homes somewhere else thank god I have been lucky find homes for them good luck with getting your cat its great to adopt them from the shelter it saves most of thier lives

I do not have a chance to adopt lovely cat or other little animails, but my sister adopted a lovely cat 4 years ago, and the cat now is healthy and strong.

Our newest boy who came yesterday came from a shelter. He is the biggest love I'm very met. Non-stop purring and rolling. He loves belly rubs, too. Josie, our big calico, came from a shelter. She's my lover girl and purrs as soon as she sees me. Our little calico, Paisley, was tossed in a dumpster and came here. She is a character with opinions. Peaches, our beige tabby, was abandoned at a vet's office and kept in a cage for 7 months. She has lots of issues, but is slowly getting better. All are loved to pieces.
