The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal.It is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae and is often referred to as the domestic cat to distinguish it from the wild members of the family.A cat can either be a house cat, a farm cat or a feral cat; the latter ranges freely and avoids human contact.Domestic cats are valued by humans for companionship and their ability to hunt rodents. About 60 cat breeds are recognized by various cat registries.
There are different organisations in the world that help foster cats until they are ready for adoption.They feed,socialise and medically care for these cats until they are ready to go to their forever homes.Adopting cats help in keeping these organisations running by paying for a small adoption fee and helps in discouraging cat breeders by cutting off potential buyers.
