And it’s more difficult for shelters to adopt out cats than dogs. Why?

My three local shelters, SPCA, Humane Society, city pound all tell me the same that cats go less and slower than dogs and that big dogs go slower than small dogs.

Is it just that cats are considered disposable and that’s why there are so many more?

    A lot of people just prefer dogs because of their loyalty, playfulness, and company, and because cats just basically hide away most of the day…

    simple there are a lot more stray cats then dogs. cats breed alot more frequently than dogs. and not many people want to adopt a feral cat. it is very sad because alot of these cats are great pets.

    One of the reasons is cats come in heat more often than dogs. There are 15 dogs born for every 1 human and there are 45 cats born for every one human. See why spaying and neutering pets is so important? We could really reduce the number of healthy pets euthanized every year.
