      I have 2 cats. One of them is the same breed as anita "bengal cat" and other one was a stray cat one day she was literally scratching my door and was looking very weak so I took her fed her some cat food, gave her a bath, got her vaccinated. Now she lives with my other cat I mean that cat is pretty rare (I forgot the name) and the vet workers were surprised that such a good breed was roaming in the streets

      My fear for the many pets in the US once life returns to somewhat normal is how many will make their way back into shelters. Another thing is separation anxiety from mom and dad going back to work after two months of being with all the time. Dog and kennel training right now are the most important things new pet parents need to be doing. I hope I am wrong in my fears but I've seen so many go back because mom and dad didn't take the time to train them.

      zordon Responsible breeders are NOT the same as a backyard breeder at all. Responsible breeders WILL take the dog back if you are unable to care for it. Dogs from shelters can have unknown backgrounds health while from a responsible breeder you know all of that information. For example service dogs are best gotten from breeders due to the fact of the unknown background increased wash-out. Many if not almost all Service dog Organizations go through breeders for this reason. Or maybe they want a dog the would affect their allergies less. It definitely is not okay to shame people for where they get their dogs. When you shame people and push the bs line “adopt don’t shop” people are more likely not listen. Educate people on not buying from backyard breeders or pet stores (most are from puppy mills) instead of shaming them. Now cats are a different story, cats should be adopted not bought unless they are going to be a service animal.

    • @StarlitSpace797
      @StarlitSpace797 4 года назад +28

      zordon also most people are not equipped/ are capable of handling a dog that came from a bad situation like they were abused or were never socialized properly and now has aggression issues due to this. That dog has a good chance of being put back up for adoption or in horrible situations they are put down. Another reason certain breeds do not Do well in shelters German Shepherds are good example of this due to there attributes; they are more aloof and uneasy around people, have a higher chance of aggression.
      For example I adopted a German shepherd lab mix that was going to be my service dog but he sadly washed out due to aggression and two years later we are still working through this.

    Wow, "we don't let you meet a cat before buying."
    Yeah that's an immediate red flag. Both times we adopted our Bengals (same breeder, just a couple years apart) she sent us videos of the litter (they were too young to be adopted yet) and pictures and even invited us out to meet the kittens (which the momma cat was so awesome and proud of her babies). So we did, came back a few weeks later to pick up the kitten once they were old enough to be adopted. But hell, even between first meet and adoption, we got videos and pictures.
    Its like the scammers don't realize that the entire Internet is made for cats.

      Actually, cats are not pack animals, so another cat in the household can stress them out if they don't get on - if you are away, your cat may be better off being the only one, if you provide it with some stimulus, like food puzzles, place on a window and even a tv with channels for cats. And of course, they don't have to share your attention when you get back.
      I adopted two kittens from a shelter at the same time, but they were not from the same litter. I had to give one back because the other was bullying so much the timid one was a nervous wreck: she would meow constantly, which made my autistic son annoyed... I kept the bully because it wasn't afraid of the rather boisterous youngster (dog).

I do understand where you are coming from, though, especially having an autistic son who was being affected by the kitty rivalry. However, domestic cats (most of them anyway) actually fare better if they have at least one other cat for company. Even street cats are known to form families, the females often raising kittens together. They are like a pride of lions that way. There are exceptions and like people, not everyone will be best friends, but cats do get lonely and can have separation anxiety if left home alone for long periods of time. Cats are individuals but can also form extremely strong bonds. Food puzzles, a place by the window, and cat tv are all great though! So is adopting. You can even find exotic breeds if you really look, but I think going by personality and connection is best, myself. I've done rescue work for years, focusing on behavior. =^.^=

They heard farm and said no. And so many times trying to adopt a puppy and being turned down because we dont have a 6ft fence. Its 12 ACRES! Im not fencing it!

      @@Polopony20. Yeah, I get it. I've been on both sides of the adoption issue. I had a hard time getting a cat for a while because I was a younger person living in an apartment and that turned a lot of rescues off.
      They usually are just trying their best to make sure the animals go to good homes because unfortunately they do see a lot of animals get returned or they turn up again after being dumped when the person gets tired of them. So if they have a harsh vetting process its supposed to be in the animal's best interest, but sometimes it definitely goes too far and eliminates potential good adopters.
      Smaller rescues are especially selective. I did eventually adopt my cat from an animal shelter that worked directly with the county. Because of the high volume of animals coming in they couldn't afford to be as selective.

After raising 7 children and getting our youngest to her senior year in high school I started the full court press on my husband for my dream dog. I spent 18 months researching breeders, calling all over the world and hitting every web page I could find. I was so disheartened and disgusted by the number of pet scammers out there. It’s soooo gross!!!! Finally after waiting 40 years for this dog, I picked him up New Years Day 2017. The lengths I went to were borderline crazy and my husband will never know how much I paid for him, but he brings me joy every single day, and that is the part these scammers prey on.

      Poor thing, glad u gave her a loving home! She may have become ill from those CHEAP FLEA meds, such as collars, drops ect. Cheap brands are very TOXIC and cats can die a horrific death by poisoning. Just passing on info for those who may not know....I was poisoned by pesticides myself 16 yrs ago, and has pretty much ruined me physically.

    We just drove to a small town a fair distance from here, because we had trouble finding kittens that didn't come with a load of invasive nonsense...and came home with two beautiful three month-old kittens. I'm glad I noticed this video just now...perfect timing. The very idea of buying an animal without meeting it first seems insane...and selling animals to people you know absolutely nothing about is worse. There are a lot of people who shouldn't be allowed near animals--my father was one of them. The last cat he had, after my father had abused him one time too many, went into my parents' bedroom, climbed into the bed, and took a dump on my father's side. Tell me cats can't be vengeful!
    Anyway, I'm glad you're looking at this stuff--the sooner the scam is known to the world, the better. Keep up the good work!

    I now have 10 cats at my home. I owned one cat 17. I had a stray male cat show up on my front porch. I started feeding him. A female cat started eating off the porch as well. I didn't realize I was feeding her at first. But I started catching glimpses of her. They mated and she had three kittens. I decided I would love to have one of the kittens, as my cat is seventeen. Neighborhood dogs started chasing the kittens. So I caught all three and put them in the house. I couldn't keep mommas cat out of or in the house she was too fast. She got pregnant again before she slowed down enough for me to keep her in. She just had a litter of four in March. I am working towards getting all the bigger feral born cats fixed. I plan on giving away the new kittens when they are old enough.

      @@Minion-sp7oc Technically, the sport is called Association Football and Soccer was an abbreviation/slang term for association. Referring to it as Soccer is older than Football. There was a classism arguement attached to the name change. I can't remember if it was the working class that thought Soccer was too snooty or if it was the upper classes that thought Football was beneath them. Ultimately, the slang term for the sport switched to football. However, the Brits intoduced it to the U.S as Soccer, and now they get annoyed because we didn't change its name when they did lol.

      @@fionazelmann7541 You're sort of damned if you do and damned if you don't and there isn't some magical breed that can escape all illness or health problems. But adopting helps lower the population of pets on the chopping block. Or get a stray. That's been pretty much every single dog my family has owned, a stray dodging cars on the highway, or abanoned by the last owners of a home (seriously, found an adorable puppy that way, he looked like a black and gray version of the Pokemon Zigzagoon, lol) and even a little pup with mange someone had tied into a plastic bag and was planning to chuck in the dumpster had a family friend not intercepted and brought him to us. There's enough pets out there that need our help that we truly do not *need* to breed any more for a long while, so sterilizing should be more of a focus for most pets. I of course can't stop you from buying your next pet, but it saddens me to hear that you're doing so. My mom did the same thing for her dog, and then turned out the mixed breed she thought she'd paid for wasn't actually the mix she got 🤦🏾‍♀️.

    Thank you for plugging local shelters! The adoptions aren’t free, but the money goes to helping more cats. If you want a specific look be prepared to wait. Some of those cats may be pedigreed, turned in by people who can’t keep them or their orphans. Any kitten you get will be fun. Better yet adopt two kittens and watch the fun begin! They will entertain themselves.
