Can You Adopt a Cat on a Tight Budget?
Adopting a cat doesn't have to be expensive. With smart budgeting and the right resources, even those on a tight income can provide a loving, healthy home for a feline companion.
River is a lively and intelligent Australian Kelpie with a big heart, thriving on activity and playtime. She is leash and crate trained, affectionate yet independent, and enjoys curling up after burning off energy. River is protective, alert, and gets along well with adults. Due to strong herding instincts, she needs a home without cats and guidance around other dogs, especially near water. She will shine with an owner who provides structure, exercise, and continued training.
