Adopting a kitten in Schenectady

Kittens usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're eating on their own and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Think about adopting two. Kittens raised together play with each other instead of your ankles and furniture, and many rescues charge less for a pair.

Kittens need more of your time than grown cats: several small meals a day, plenty of play, and a home with cords and small objects tidied away.
