Being a cat lover myself, I have to bring to your attention a great program that the Michigan Humane Society is promoting:

According to the Michigan Humane Society website: http://www.michiganhumane.org/, you can adopt two cats for the price of one.

For a limited time, when you adopt a feline friend, you can adopt a second cat or kitten with no additional adoption fee. With “cat” season in full swing and cat and kitten intakes at peak levels, the Michigan Humane Society (MHS) announces an exciting program that seeks more cats and kittens going home in twos!

The “Purrfect in Pairs” program looks to double the number of cats being adopted by carefully matching pairs and charging only one adoption fee. In addition to placing more cats and kittens in loving homes, the added benefit of the program is that many cats do better in pairs by providing exercise, social interaction and mental stimulation for each other. Adopters will see that two really is twice as nice - and results in twice the love without twice the work.

MHS will adopt together cats who are well-matched and have been selected for their suitability to the program. Placing two cats together will also help maximize the available cage space - which is critically needed this time of year.

Adopting two cats is beneficial to cats. Cats who live in a multi-cat household often do better, both physically and psychologically.

• While many cats will show signs of jealousy around their human companions, when left alone in the house, these same cats with another cat in the household will often accept and learn to love and play with a newcomer cat or kitten. Given a little time.
• It is better to get both cats at the same time: A second cat should not be introduced into the household when the original cat is suffering from a serious illness or health problem, or seems to be heading toward the end of their golden time on earth.
• A two cat family often works best when there are two humans involved. Cats often gravitate more toward one human than the other, adopting that human as theirs while the other human is tolerable for feeding and for filling in when the favored human is unavailable.
