I've had cats all my life, up until I moved to a new, smaller apartment after my 17 year old fuzzy baby passed away. I haven't gotten another cat since for 2 reasons...first I wasn't ready. Now I'm ready and am considering the 2nd reason: my apartment is quite small (but does allow pets and I'd NEVER move somewhere that didn't so long as I had her) and the kitty wouldn't have access to the outdoors. She'd also be left home alone for at least 10 hours a day. On the other hand, if I were to get a rescue kitty that had always lived it's life in an apartment, it'd be better off to live with someone who loves her then spend time in a shelter where she may be put down. What do you guys think...should I or shouldn't I get a kitty from the shelter? I just want to be sure I'm making the decision that's not selfish but would be good for the cat as well. Thanks!
