Animal shelters must screen their cats for health and temperament, whereas pet adoption ads posted on the Web or in newspapers by individuals are usually unregulated. Adopting a new cat from a shelter is therefore often the best, safest option.

Tracy says:
Pumpkin, and her sister Sookie, were adopted at the age of three months. Pumpkin has a very quirky personality. She loves small spaces - purses, boxes, bags, etc. And she especially loves to climb and look down from great heights. She usually does not like to be held unless it's on her own terms, which usually means perching herself on her owner's shoulder. As long as her owner stays standing, she will stay there comfortably. Pumpkin also loves to cuddle with her sister Sookie and the two cannot be separated.
