The Adventurous Justin ustin by Kyra C.
It’s a sad fact that every year, millions of unwanted pets wind up in animal shelters. Why are there so many unwanted animals? What can you do to help? Find out on today’s Kid Scoop page. Controlling the pet population in this country is a good place to start being truly kind to animals year a thousands of dogs and animals. Each year, cats are abandoned and then killed. Sometimes people get a pet and find out, too late, that they can’t care for it. All too often, the pet is then abandoned or left at a shelter.
1. Don’t get a pet unless you are really prepared to care for it. Read at the library about how to care for the pet you want, and then decide if you truly have the time it takes. 2. If you have a cat or dog, get it spayed or neutered so that it won’t breed and produce young.
Justin is an adventurous, cute ute 4-week-old kitten. He is a brown tabby with a white _______. _. He has nd his black stripes on his head, and feet look like socks. I chose to write about Justinn because he ________ my heart when I walked in. w, and he bounces when He has a _________ meow, he eats his food. He crawls around his cage, __, “Let me out!” and it’s like he’s __________,
But wait, it gets worse. Some people do not spay or neuter their pets, which means the ne k animals keep producing unwanted young. Sadly, not enough good homes exist for all the puppies and kittens born into this world. So these unwanted pets also end up in shelters, where many of them must be put to death.
A good home for Justin would be a big house so he could __________ around. You will have fun if you get him. He will win over a bunch of people. Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Follow simple written directions.
One female cat that is not spayed can have eight to ten kittens a year. If each of her kittens has kittens, and all of those kittens have kittens, after five years, the one female cat you started with will have brought over 100,000 cats into the world. If you could get 100,000 cats in one line, it would be about 25 miles long!
Spaying is the operation that prevents female cats and dogs from breeding. Neutering is the operation that prevents male cats and dogs from breeding.
