The cliché “fighting like cats and dogs” is as old as domesticated pets.  It makes us laugh with images of Garfield taunting Odie or Marmaduke chasing a cat. This doesn’t have to be the case.  In fact, cats and dogs can be wonderful companions for each other.

If you already have a dog and are thinking about finding him a buddy, you might want to adopt a cat.  With the spirit of love surrounding us this time of year, the Richmond SPCA has introduced a fun promotion we call “Find Your Dog a Feline Valentine.”  We might not always think of dogs and cats as soul mates for one another, but to the contrary, many get along swimmingly and enjoy each other’s company very much.  If you have room to expand in the furry friend department, give this some thought.  Your dog will benefit from the companionship that a cat can offer, especially during days when the family is not at home. The average pet parent is a working adult, or a pair of working adults, who leave home at least 8 hours each day.  Bring home a companion to ease their loneliness. They’ll get along better than you’d expect, and they might even enjoy snuggle time together.

Want to make sure you find the perfect cat for your dog?  We do too. That’s why our knowledgeable adoption staff will spend lots of time helping you select a cat who adores dogs.  We even recommend bringing your dog into the center for a meet-and-greet session.

Don’t disappoint your pooch this Valentine’s Day. He’ll be excited to gain a new friend, and we know you will, too!
