Q: I am ready to get a cat. During the upcoming “kitten season,” there will be plenty of free kittens available from local farms and elsewhere in my community. Alternatively, I can adopt a kitten or cat from a shelter or rescue group, but that would cost money. Do you have an opinion about where I should go for my new cat?
A: Adopting a kitten or adult cat from an animal shelter or cat rescue organization has many advantages.
