“Buy a cat. I presume you mean adopt a cat? ”
Yes, you are correct.
“It is too noisy, too chaotic,”
I have considered this factor, actually. The house I’m living in is actually not loud or chaotic at all 99% of the time.
“and there are too many people coming and going.”
As long as they watch to make sure that the cat is not going to dart through the door when they exit, it should be fine, yes?
“Most college kids lack resources for all of the possible needed pet care items, and especially lack resources should emergencies happen.”
This is, obviously, something I have considered. I wouldn’t even think of adopting a cat unless I had secured a decently paying job and had sufficient savings to cover most emergencies.
“I just strongly believe that this is not a stable, healthy, safe environment for a cat. I have seen too many misguided attempts at pets in college. Please wait until you are out of school.”
I will certainly consider your advice and concerns seriously before I make this decision. Thank you for your time!
Thank you for rescuing! I would plan on a vet visit once they’re open, just to make sure he’s alright. All new pets should be seen within 3 days, anyway.
