They sell rodents, fishes, birds, and small animals. The situation of puppy mills, or cat mills, is sad, so sad.

And it's part of the reason we have such great adoption rates. Pet stores in the city (chains and independents) got enthusiastically on board with in-store adoption events, working with shelters and rescues. Many of them even offer free/discounted "new pet" packages for adopters! They get new customers, we get successful adoptions. Everybody -- especially the cats -- win. They sometimes have the same kind of events for dogs, but mostly the shelters can handle the dog numbers/adoptions.Adventures in Cat Fosteringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141544145729893684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-22498767396302763882016-07-21T06:13:59.312-04:002016-07-21T06:13:59.312-04:00Yep, choir member here.

It's a bad life for their parents, and they are so often doomed to illnesses from poor breeding practices and care. We hope that partnerships with shelters and rescues will be the standard someday for pet stores, but we know that the industry is fighting it. So sad and frustrating.Cats Herd Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571176442884334134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-7890073068059330472016-07-21T01:31:53.183-04:002016-07-21T01:31:53.183-04:00Thank you for sharing - especially the action step...Thank you for sharing - especially the action steps.Momma Kat and Her Bear Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254210236142173792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-30846256372683805552016-07-21T00:52:39.927-04:002016-07-21T00:52:39.927-04:00Luckily pet shops in the uk don't sell cats an...Luckily pet shops in the uk don't sell cats and dogs but they do sell rabbits and small animals.We do hear of the odd puppy mill or cat mill hear but not often they have almost died a death here but not quite,xx RachelLittle Miss Titchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456038281813066947noreply@blogger.com
