Rules of adoption
Any person who not only admires the beauty of cats but also respects their freedom can be a cat owner.
The owner of a cat can be a person who respects the rights of animals and can provide the animal with decent living conditions, nutrition, vetting and safety in accordance with the species.
The owner of a cat (cats) is obliged to accept the condition of the need to castrate (sterilize) the animal upon reaching a certain age.
A cat can be owned by a person who has reached the age of majority, financial independence and moral maturity.
A cat can be owned by a person who never feels irritated with the cat, no matter what it does: breaks dishes, goes to the toilet on your bed or in your shoes, wakes you up early in the morning or even at night. Remember: the cat is always right!
The cat owner should follow the recommended type of food for the animal (meat diet, dry food of non-economic class or canned food); do not feed the animal scraps from the human table, do not offer fish, chicken bones, fatty parts of meat or offal, milk and sour cream.
An animal that lives in your home becomes a member of your family, so if necessary, you are obliged to provide emergency assistance to the animal.
For the safety of the animal, you should provide the windows of your home with special “anti-cat” nets.
A prerequisite is to coordinate your decision to get an animal with other family members.
If the circumstances of your life are such that the animal cannot live in your home, do not throw it out on the street, take it to the village to relatives, or put it to sleep. Return it to us!
