The answer is yes. Citizenship doesn't even come up. All you need is a roof over your head, good intentions and the adoption fee.

Why is your cat so cute?

Some people find kittens cute, however others don't. I think it is probably the fact they are small, furry, mammals and appear to be helpless meaning we probably want to look after them.

Interesting fact- A cat can produce a noise at the exact pitch of a babies cry, possibly making us more likely to give them what they want.

How many stray animals have been found this year?

Is it legal to own a pygmy marmoset in Illinois?

Yes, Pygmy Marmosets (also called pocket monkeys or finger monkeys) are legal to own in Tennessee. You do not need any type of permit to buy or keep one in Tennessee, but to sell one, you must have an exemption from the USDA. Also, they are illegal in Kentucky, as well as many other states, so travelling with them is limited. Just be sure you have a Veterinarian in your city who deals with these primates or else you will have a difficult time if they need treatment or check-ups.

Remember...these animals live approximately 15 years, and act like 2 year olds their entire life, so if you are not prepared for that, you may run into great difficulty if you decide to sell it. They are notorious for carrying Tuberculosis, and can also catch any contagious human disease they contact, including the common cold. Their bones are extremely fragile as well, so be sure you get a health certificate when you purchase one. Hope this helps.

Do you need a permit to own a sloth in America?

Nope! You just catch them in your back yard and keep them in a squirrel sanctuary (a spare room with plenty of space for the little critter, preferably with a tall cat house with lots of holes to go in and out of, windows for viewing outside, preferably brown to forest green walls, and plenty of assorted unsalted nuts which need to be scattered on the ground every other week (about 3 cups))

Or you could just keep them in a bird cage (about a 6x5x6 found at your local pet store or at a hobby store, if you would rather make one)

OR. . . you could leave them outside and not bother them, as that's the way its supposed to be!!!!!

What should you do if your pet died?

It is really up to you, to decide what you want to do. Many people will get another pet, if their pet has died. However, you may or may not want another pet. Think about your experience of owning the pet who died, and decide whether it worked out well enough that you would like to get another pet.

As for the pet who died, some people like to bury their dead pets with a full religious ceremony (of the type that you might use for a dead person), but that also is up to you. The body can be disposed of with as much or as little ceremony as you feel is appropriate.

What age do you have to be to adopt a dog?

Woof woof? do you mean for the Dog or the prospective owner? It really is a serious matter that should be given more consideration. Kids frequently swap items with no concern as to their long-term maintenance, llike tops and other toys- not applicable to a living pet. also there is in a sense a minimum age where the animal can live on its own and is weaned from its mother- with Cats usually this is about 8 weeks- and they have the semblance of a lithe, adult-like body but still kittens- with puppies it would vary according to the breed. It is by no means as tightly regulated as automobile and gun licenses, but there are allied problems from the maturity standpoint. an excellent question, Ruff!

What do you do when you adopt a cat?

A good place to start when you get a new cat is to give it some time to adjust to its new surroundings. Cats generally don't like change, and although it is probably in a better situation after you bring it home, it will most likely be a little shy at first. I like to create a "safe" room when I bring a new cat home. This would ideally be a smallish room with places for the cat to hide (even something as simple as a cardboard box or two). Try not to disturb the cat too much while it is in there, and give it some time to adjust to it's surroundings. Also, you should make sure that you show it where its food and litter box are. After it seems to have adjusted to the safe room, you may want to begin letting it into more and more of your home. It may take a while for your cat to be completely comfortable in your home, but it will be well worth your time to take it slowly.

Where can you adopt a pet seal?

Why is it better to adopt a pet at an adoption center than a pet store?

Some adopted/rescued pets need extra training to help them adjust to life as a pet. But I wouldn't say they need extra care. Most rescuers don't know much about animal behavior/training and often make small problems bigger without realizing it. The truth is that with an educated and experienced owner there is no difference between a rescued dog or a dog from the worlds best breeders. It's really about the people. If you don't want to deal with the over-protective, crazy rescue people (I have a right to call them that, I was once one of them!) go to a good breeder who breeds for show, you'll get a very healthy dog and a lifetime of help from the breeder. You can also go to a shelter, but it's hard to know what dogs will need the most training and where to turn if you ever need help. If you need more info you can contact me through my webiste: www.valordogs.com (I'm a dog trainer).

What big cats are legal as pets?

It depends what country you're in. Big cats retain their wild ways and they are not very safe in a household situation.

There will be laws relating to what pets are legal to own, and there will also be laws about how you can obtain these pets and how you can bring them into the country. You will generally be required to obtain a licence to keep big cats.

In Britain the "Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976" is the most relevant law.

In the USA different states have different laws. In some (e.g. California) private ownership of big cats is illegal, while in some (e.g. Alabama) there are few to no restrictions on keeping any big cats as pets.
