Aww, congratulations. This reminds me of when I first adopted my dog, Tiger. (wierd, I know.) He licked me nose when all the other puppies bit me...and thats when I knew.
 Good luck to your new kitten and allergies.

Hah, he's cute. I'm allgeric to cats, but we have them all over here, because I live on a farm. We've given away a lot of our kittens, and people always come back telling us how different their personalities are compared to the other cats they have. Our cats here tend to be more outgoing and creative than normal cats. Or so I've been told.
What are you naming him? |

oh, you should have just bought something out of a pet store. I guess its nice that your adopting though.'
^I was actually going to get one of those, but I'm telling the lady later this week I'm not getting it, I rather buy art work with the money then get another dog. |

Adopting is definately the way to go. Never ever buy from a pet store. If you just simply must buy a dog go to a reputable breeder. Because if your going to spend the big bucks to get your little yorkiepoo or whatever you should at least make sure it comes from good stock and won't have any genetic flaws. I love dogs, and would love to one day breed Westies and Scotties, but for the moment I have my pound puppy.
He looks adorable. I am usually allergic to cats, but I haven't ever had any issues with mine. I think it is either because he is strictly indoor or because he has a slightly different kind of hair than other cats I've known. (He's a Maine Coon X Siamese so his hair is kind of long). When you get him definately get him a bath as soon as you can. I know it sounds strange, but if you have allergies you're going to want to get all the shelter crap off of him. I usually wash mine with the spray hose on the kitchen sink. Just restrain him and put it up really close to his skin with low water pressure. And talk to him. I usually wash mine every couple of months. Of course I didn't start washing him until he was almost a year old, so you should have an easier time of it. Oh, and also see if you can get any kind of antibiotic from the shelter when you pick him up. I don't know about your shelter, but the one I got my dog from had things like kennel cough running rampant so they always gave you an antibiotic to give for the first couple of weeks to kill any colds they may have picked up. But good luck! If you have any questions feel free to ask. |

Or one of our family friends that breed a bunch of different dogs.The only dog I've ever got from a pet store is my current dog. She had just got there that day and I came later that night and bought her. I don't eat meat, I think thats enough of a good dead then to have to worry about all the animals in shelters. |

Oh it's not just a humanitarian thing, I saw a lot of malnourished animals (not just in the store I worked in, but in several others as well). I don't push the whole "you must get animals from a shelter!" thing. It wouldn't be my place to do so. =) |

Mine isn't picky, he'll eat just about anything, including dog food. lol Probably best to find out what they've been feeding at the shelter, just incase yours has a sensitive stomach, you don't want to shock it with something new. As for "must haves".....lets see....a basket or somewhere comfy for it to have as "his" area. If he's been with other kittens like it seems he might be a little lonely and skittish at first. Some toys. You don't have to spend a lot, especially with kittens. Just one of those variety packs for like $2 with the mice and balls. Don't get cat nip. lol He will be going nuts as is, you don't need to add to it just yet. Don't get ANYTHING of the Special Kitty brand. It is cheap and it is cheap for a reason. You will also probably want to get something for him to scratch, and some of the scratch deterrant spray. You can get the spray from Petsmart or Petco, or just about any other Pet store. Its a little on the pricey side, but well worth it if you don't want a scratched up couch. |
