One of the many difficult things we had to navigate as a result of COVID-19 is the pandemic pet phenomenon. We had thought that people would be unwilling to incur extra expense in a recessionary climate, but were proven wrong when we realised so many others shared in our view that pets are decidedly not luxuries. COVID-19 has fundamentally altered when, where and how people get their work done, and for some people it means spending a large part of their work day at home - having a pet around helps to satisfy the need for interaction and affection.
.
Having said that, we cannot, and do not intend to match a ChubbyBuddy to every interested family. ChubbyBuddies are never first come first served and will always matched to each home on the basis of suitability. The unintended benefit of us keeping a waitlist and making kittens available only to screened homes is that impulsive buyers are necessarily filtered out, some of who will inevitably end up buying from commercial pet shops / kitten mills / backyard breeders, which we do not condone. A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a cat worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless cats. The number of homeless cats in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them.
.
No one should go out and get a pet before deciding what type would best suit their current and future lifestyle. The pandemic will end but the responsibility for a pet will endure for the pet’s lifetime. Please consider adoption especially if you are open to giving a homeless animal a chance and will be flexible about its type or temperament! Everyone has a great capacity to love unconditionally, and that is what really matters. 💕
When you *did not* ask for a big brother but you got one anyway 😑
