The difficult adoptions of elderly cats. ( ENG/ESP) 馃挅
Good evening hivers today I want to talk to you about a topic dear to me that concerns our feline friends and what better time to talk about it than Caturday? We often talk about adopted cats, here in Italy it seems like there is a real emergency, the catteries are full, there are litters everywhere and the volunteers are unable to cope with everything by rightly asking for help and donations and by sterilizing the cats for free to prevent a further excess of kittens, often however the small cats fortunately find a home, who doesn't want an adorable little kitten to raise?
The problem arises however when elderly cats remain homeless for a thousand reasons, often the owner can no longer take care of them or has passed away, so they are taken to the cattery where unfortunately they often remain especially if they have health problems and the funds are often not enough to care for all the cats. Here when you adopt an elderly cat the adoption is called adoption of the heart to mean that whoever adopts an elderly cat has a big heart. Personally I adopted chiccha, my old lady with extreme ease, fortunately she has never had major health problems.
Unfortunately I understand those who decide not to adopt an elderly cat, the reasons can be many, fear of costs and care, difficulty of the cat to adapt, fear of losing it prematurely, difficulty with the character of a large cat, I understand the difficulties but I also believe adopting an elderly cat is a wealth and a noble gesture to make a cat feel good and let him live an old age outside the cages of the cattery.
Buenas noches hivers hoy quiero hablaros de un tema muy querido para m铆 que concierne a nuestros amigos felinos y 驴qu茅 mejor momento para hablar de ello que el s谩bado? A menudo o铆mos hablar de gatos adoptados, aqu铆 en Italia parece que hay una verdadera emergencia, los criaderos est谩n llenos, hay camadas por todas partes y los voluntarios no pueden hacer frente a todo, con raz贸n piden ayuda y donaciones y esterilizan a los gatos de forma gratuita para evitar un mayor exceso de gatitos, pero a menudo los peque帽os gatos afortunadamente encuentran un hogar, 驴qui茅n no quiere un adorable gatito para criar? El problema surge sin embargo cuando los gatos mayores se quedan sin hogar por mil motivos, muchas veces el due帽o ya no puede cuidar de ellos o ha fallecido, por lo que son llevados a un criadero donde desgraciadamente suelen permanecer sobre todo si tienen problemas de salud y muchas veces los fondos no son suficientes para cuidar a todos los gatos.
Unfortunately there are many obstacles to adopting an older cat but I hope that there will be more and more adoptions and maybe a reduction or discounts for veterinary services which are very expensive so maybe people would adopt older cats or cats with pathologies more often.
Aqu铆 cuando se adopta un gato mayor la adopci贸n se llama adopci贸n del coraz贸n para significar que quien adopta un gato mayor tiene un gran coraz贸n. Personalmente adopt茅 a Chickcha, mi vieja, con suma facilidad, por suerte nunca ha tenido grandes problemas de salud. Lamentablemente entiendo a aquellos que deciden no adoptar un gato mayor, las razones pueden ser muchas, miedo a los costos y cuidados, dificultad para que el gato se adapte, miedo a perderlo prematuramente, dificultad con el car谩cter de un gato grande, entiendo las dificultades pero tambi茅n creo adoptar un gato mayor es una riqueza y un gesto noble para hacer sentir bien a un gato y dejarlo vivir una vejez fuera de las jaulas del criadero.
Desgraciadamente hay muchos obst谩culos para adoptar un gato mayor pero espero que haya cada vez m谩s adopciones y quiz谩 alguna reducci贸n o descuentos en los servicios veterinarios que son muy caros para que quiz谩 la gente adopte con m谩s frecuencia gatos mayores o gatos con patolog铆as.
