Why adopt and foster? Yep, we’re jumping right into it! The main reason folks go to pet stores, is to find a pet that connects with them. Whether that’s a husky, a french bulldog or an unknown breed that got rescued off the streets. Some people have taken it upon themselves to rescue these amazing animals. They’ve made it their job to bring these animals back to health and placed in welcoming homes.<\/p>\n

Your home could be the saving grace to those special furry bundles of joy. Here’s why you should adopt or foster a furry friend<\/h2>\n

Adopting helps out the community<\/h2>\n

As you know, some people give pets as gifts and that usually ends up with the pet being abandoned. The number of cats on the streets of Dubai and other Emirates are super high, some are breeds you wouldn’t ever expect to find.<\/p>\n

Mia Esat is the founder of Itty Bitty Kitty Tails<\/a> which is an International Welfare Program for strays and dumped felines. The process of rescuing the cats, as Mia explains, after the cats are examined at the vets, is finding the right home for them. No easy feat and that’s where fostering comes into play. Itty Bitty Tails runs a credible fostering programme to ensure the house they temporarily stay at, is a responsible one.<\/p>\n
