Landlord doesn't let me have pets. :( I'd LOVE to have a cat and a dog at the very least if I could

Can't imagine why cats wouldn't be allowed period

Adopted my adorable mutt at 2 years old. He is a wonderful guy and I wouldn't have gone any other way.

(1/2) When my husband and I got our first cat, we asked the humane society which cats are the least likely to be adopted. Ended up getting a

(2/2) two-year-old black cat that nobody wanted because of the black cat superstition. Best decision we ever made.

Did the exact same thing 7 years ago. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

All 3 of my cats were adults at adoption, one was actually scheduled to be put down the next day. I do not have time for kittens

Don't have any pictures handy, but I got my last two dogs from a shelter. 2 senior mastiffs that had been "adopted" and returned several 1/2

A friend of mine rescued a 2 year old cat and found out he was allergic, so I took him off his hands. He's my best bro now.

Ha ha, my cat is basically a dog. . Fetch, he goes to the door if someone knocks. . He's crazy.

What makes me sad is the stories of people getting energetic breeds then they say they don't get out much. An old dog would be perfect there

I have a cat because my work hours and I'm in an apartment. I can't leave a dog like that. I know my cat just sleeps until I get home
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
Yeah then its either a small older dog or a cat, it makes me cringe to see someone with that living situation adopt a husky puppy etc.

I want to adopt a dog but I'm gone 12+ hours a day from home and it just feels like they wouldn't get the time they deserve to spend with me
WrathLady
Which is why I have a cat.
Infekdeading
Yes, same here. Although I prefer cats to dogs anyway.
WrathLady
I like both. One of my life goals is to have a house with a big yard and two or three dogs. And maybe more cats if they get along.

You are correct, and there are many benefits of old animals, but the associated healthcare costs of older animals is outside of my budget.
Infekdeading
It can be, even getting puppies or kittens you could encounter that as well

Why old?
Infekdeading
Just older, not talking 8, 9, 10.. even the 2-4 year Olds get overlooked.
girlcarpenter
people don't adopt older dogs because they may only have a few years with them, so they get put down if they can't be fostered
samuraialien
So you want to see posts of dogs who will die soon? aight
