You can buy a cat from Craig's list for example, but I do not recommend buying a cat sight unseen. I never recommend that. You should always check out the home where it's coming from, you can assess it's condition, and seeing the cat makes sure you are getting the animal you have paid for. In addition, there are no websites where you can just buy a cat and have it shipped to you. I hope this helps.

Hello. The cats & kittens offered at Petco are actually managed by individual rescue groups. Prices will differ from rescue to rescue. All cats can do well if they are played with & fussed over once you get home. Can they get into trouble & sometimes make a mess? Absolutely. If you do not want hair & dander & kitty litter tracked all over the house, you should not have a pet. Cats may need to have their claws trimmed ( NOT REMOVED ) & plenty of opportunities to exercise their claws, otherwise they will scratch your furniture, moldings & walls. You will need different types of scratching surfaces, plenty of toys, a water & food dish, litter box ( or 2 ), & lots of patience. All cats are individuals, so when you go looking to adopt a cat, take your family & give yourself plenty of time to spend with your potential pet, & ask lots of questions about them. Good luck & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I would believe they probably sell very cheap cat food which is probably bad quality. the best places to buy quality cat foods are either on the internet or in pet shops. good brands include: Orijen, Evovle, Blue buffalo and accana.

Sully is adorable! Thanks for including a picture. I wish I could give you a simple answer to your question, but every animal is different and some require a combination of products. I would say that about 50% of the animals I try it with have a good response to Rescue Remedy, so that is often my first choice for cats (especially since it can just be added to the water). I have not used the other products, but both appear to have ingredients that could be used alone or in combination with Rescue Remedy. Don't forget that natural supplements are much more variable than medications and will not sedate, so they are sometimes not enough for a very anxious cat. I also recommend combining supplements with a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) or a Comfort Zone Diffuser ( https://www.comfortzone.com/ ) in your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month. You could also consider calming music specifically for cats ( http://throughadogsear.com/tace/through-a-ca

I would have a cause for concern with a very cheap adoption, unless the cat comes from a reputable organization like the SPCA. A very cheap adoption suggests the cat is coming from a backyard breeder, which typically do not to genetic testing to make sure that heritable diseases are passed from generation to generation. In addition, backyard breeders often keep their animals in very poor conditions, and are more concerned with making money that taking proper care of their animals. I would never trust a very cheap adoption, there is a reason why it's cheap and it's usually not a good reason. You will want to buy a cat from a breeder who has years of experience, does genetic testing on the father and mother, and allows you to see where the animals are kept and raised. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
