Charlie
My roommate recently moved out, taking her cat with her. My cat, Aldo, became lonely so I decided to get him a friend.
This past weekend I visited the KW Humane Society and adopted Charlie.
Charlie is an adorable, orange tabby kitten. He is a little timid but slowly becoming used to his new surroundings. The day I got him, his sister had been adopted so he was a little down. He’s now quite playful and will soon be ready to leave his “safe room” to fully explore his new home.
It can be costly to adopt a cat from the Humane Society, and the “free” kittens advertised in the paper may seem cheaper, but you get what you pay for.
When I adopted Charlie, I was confident he was de-wormed, vaccinated and flea free. Not only that, included in the price was a voucher for $75 dollars off the price of neutering him when the time comes. I would have spent more than the $215 adoption fee at the vet, vaccinating him, de-worming two cats (because Aldo would undoubtedly catch them with my luck) and of course, getting the fleas out of my apartment. So really, in the end, Charlie was free.
Right now the Humane Society is “filled to the rafters” with cats, according to their website. So if you’re looking for a furry little companion, I suggest you pay them a visit.
