Am I Ready to Adopt? A 10-Question Self-Check

Adopting is a 10–15 year commitment. Take 2 minutes to answer honestly and see what you might want to prepare first.

1 Does your home allow pets?
2 Does everyone you live with agree?
3 On a typical weekday, how long are you away from home?
4 Can you comfortably cover monthly costs (food, litter, parasite prevention, etc.)?
5 If your pet suddenly got sick or injured, do you have an emergency vet fund?
6 Over the next 10–15 years, if you move, change jobs or start a family, how would you plan for your pet?
7 When you travel, is there someone who can look after your pet?
8 Are you or anyone you live with allergic to cats or dogs?
9 Are you willing to spend time playing, training and learning how to care for a pet?
10 If your pet had behaviour problems like peeing in the wrong place or damaging furniture, what would you do?
