You have your facts wrong. The Petco/PetSmart adoptions are shelter cats, not mills. There is only one mill around here that I knoow of, and it's for small dogs. Used to be at Markets of Marion and now is in Belleview.

Almost no cats available
Well at the suggestion of responders to this thread, I went to the Marion county animal center and they had two house cats and maybe 5 feral cats. AtThe Petsmart on 441 they had one cat.
Concluding that it’s nearly impossible to adopt a cat in the villages area. How sad. |

I’ve heard that your Humane Society is extremely expensive and has a rigorous and lengthy vetting process. And that they normally turn down most applicants. |

My friend adopted two cats from Your Humane Society with no problem. Filled out an application. Picked up the cats a few days later. This was a few years ago, so maybe it has been changed. But if you want a healthy, well-fed, innoculated and neutered cat, I think you will find their price reasonable. If you want a free cat, try Craigslist. After a simple call to Your Humane Society: Cats age 1-6, $50. Older, $40; black cats orkittens, $30. Under 1 year old; $75 I don't think that's outrageous.

this is correct. imo, Petco goes the extra step of finding LOCAL pets a home. don't feel bad looking there, this isnt a 'mill' situation. GOOD LUCK!

please contact the "CatCrazyVillagers.com" then go to the tab for "adoption/rehoming" and talk to them. They foster many wonderful cats that have been abandoned when Villager residents have died or gone into assisted living homes and can't take their beloved pets. They always have beautiful cats just waiting to find a loving home and new "furever" home again! Good Luck!! Cat Crazy Villagers - Adoption/Rehoming

On Facebook there is a group called Pet Matches for Villagers and area. There are always cats available. There is a real pretty one that I just saw. I think the owner had passed away.

Here is a website showing pictures of all the cats available at the Humane Society of Lake County shelter, which is a no-kill shelter. Humane Society of Lake County in Umatilla, Florida Each photo has a link to the cat's description and needs, and there's a contact phone number and the address of the shelter in Umatilla. Also according to the Marion County Animal Shelter's website and built-in search engine with easy filtering capabilities, there are four adoptable adult cats available. I'm a little concerned that you are asking other people to do this research for you, instead of checking these sources yourself. Caring for a cat is a commitment to take responsibility for the life of a fellow creature on this planet. A google search is so easy to do and takes so little effort. As for vetting potential adopters, this is a good thing. The shelters want to make sure that the person taking the animal will be a) a good fit, b) a responsible pet-owner, c) capable of caring for whichever pet they've chosen. The only people who would have a problem with this vetting process, are people who are either a) a bad fit, b) irresponsible, c) incapable of caring for their pet. |
