This WGN Radio Petcast celebrates cats and cat adoption. Listen HERE (may take several seconds to load)
June is American Humane Association's Adopt A Cat Month, a reason for celebration if you ask me, especially if we can really move the needle. Fact is, too many cats are dying in shelters. You can begin your adoption search in the comfort of your home by using your mouse, go to petfinder.com. Tips from petfinder Goddess and co-founder Betsy Saul.
Once you adopt that cat, what are the appropriate medical considerations? Dr. Jane Brunt, executive director of the CATalyst Council answers. She also talks about the sad truth - cats don't receive nearly as much veterinary care as they should; on average, visiting the veterinarian less than half as often as most dogs.

Too many cats hardly ever see a veterinarian.
