Why should I get two kittens instead of just one?
Adding a new kitten to your home can be a very exciting thing. You get new toys, beds, and treats and prepare your home the best you can- kitten proofing and making sure everything is safe. But, is that enough?
Many rescues and shelters require the adoption of two kittens at the same time, unless over 6 months of age. There are many reasons why we too encourage this.
1) Naturally, kittens play rough and tough, bite and pounce. Kitten play is a very important part of development but it's much better when kittens do this to a buddy instead of to us.
2) Kittens don't usually sleep through the night, especially when they are young. They want to play! Instead of trying to keep them quiet when you go to sleep, have a sibling or friend to keep them company. They won't bother you instead!
3) Kittens get in a lot less trouble when they have someone to romp around with. This means no more climbing up your curtains or racing through the house throughout the day (or as much!). Two kittens are easier than one because their kitten energy usually more than ours.
4) The bond of two kittens is something very hard to replace later on. Feline to feline love is very different than human to feline love. They will love you just the same, but when you aren't home or they are in need of a cat bath, they have a buddy.
5) If you work, are away from home or occassionally travel on the weekends, rest assured your feline furbaby still has company and won't be sitting around trying to entertain themselves.
6) Older resident cats may not appreciate a lively, new addition! Always nice to have a buddy for the kitten to play with instead.
7) We give discounted adoption fees if you adopt two.
8) There is simply nothing cuter than two kittens playing. Period.
9) Anyone who has ever adopted two at the same time, always say it was the perfect choice.
10) When you adopt two, you've saved two kittens instead of one!
