Well my cats have all been rescued in some way or the other. My cat Stretchy was rescued from Ireland, he was thrown out along with his brothers and sisters for reasons unknown. My other kitty Smudge was rescued by a young student. My mother works at a school and one of the students came up to her and told her about her cat giving birth but her parents want to get rid of all the animals and kicked the cat out, so her cat and it's kittens were living under a shed. The last surviving kitten, which was Smudge, was given to my mum who gave her to me. My other cat Tribble was an abused cat that me and my dad saved.
My dogs have been bought. My Beligum Shephard was bought from a breeder, a very lovely breeder who took very good care of all her animals. My other dog, a rottweiler was bought from a family who had rottie puppies. It was lovely, really homely and nice people who took good care of their animals and the puppies.
However, I do agree with adoption, and when my boyfriend and I are in a position to get a cat or a dog, we plan on adopting. You are right, there are so many pets out there that need a good, loving home. I can't wait to get another pet and give that pet the best life it could possibly have and love it until it sadly passes on.
