Antes de adoptar un animal<\/h1><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Preparando el escenario para una adopci\u00f3n exitosa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Antes de tomar la importante decisi\u00f3n de adoptar, hay algunas cosas a tener en cuenta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfTienes tiempo para cuidar de un animal? \u00bfCu\u00e1nto tiempo puedes dedicar entre el trabajo, los viajes y el ocio?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los distintos animales, incluso las distintas razas, requieren distintos niveles de atenci\u00f3n para estar felices y saludables. Esto incluye tiempo de calidad con usted, ejercicio y alimentaci\u00f3n regulares, as\u00ed como adiestramiento y atenci\u00f3n veterinaria.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"three<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nuestro objetivo es adoptar gatitos en parejas para su mejor desarrollo, especialmente si son hermanos, o en hogares con otros animales residentes. Esto ayuda a ense\u00f1arles a usar adecuadamente sus dientes y garras en el juego, adem\u00e1s de brindarles compa\u00f1\u00eda mientras est\u00e1s fuera de casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfSon compatibles vuestros estilos de vida?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"dogs<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Los animales, al igual que los humanos, tienen su propio temperamento. Considere la posibilidad de encontrar un compa\u00f1ero que disfrute de vivir como usted. \u00bfLe gusta estar al aire libre o relajarse en casa? \u00bfPrefiere estar ocupado todo el tiempo o disfrutar de la tranquilidad? Es mejor adoptar un animal que disfrute del mismo tipo de estilo de vida que usted... de esa manera no terminar\u00e1 buscando un nuevo hogar para su amigo peludo porque "no era una buena opci\u00f3n".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfPodr\u00e1s cuidar a tu amigo durante toda la vida?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"older<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Los animales tienen diferentes esperanzas de vida. Piensa en cu\u00e1nto tiempo estar\u00e1 contigo tu amigo peludo. Por ejemplo, los gatos tienen una esperanza de vida promedio de 14 a 20 a\u00f1os, dependiendo de su salud y estilo de vida. Los perros pueden vivir entre 10 y 20 a\u00f1os, dependiendo de la raza, el tama\u00f1o y la salud. Investiga la esperanza de vida promedio y considera realmente si puedes comprometerte con este animal por el resto de su vida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adem\u00e1s, considera si planeas mudarte pr\u00f3ximamente. Si es as\u00ed, \u00bfte comprometes a llevarte a tu mascota contigo? Si te mudar\u00e1s a un apartamento, ten en cuenta que muchos lugares tienen restricciones sobre los animales que permiten, si es que los permiten. Empieza a investigar meses antes de la mudanza para asegurarte de que puedes llevarte a tu mascota. Nunca deber\u00edas considerar buscarle un nuevo hogar a un miembro de la familia solo porque tienes que mudarte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfEst\u00e1 usted preparado financieramente para tener un animal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"cats<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Todos conocemos el dicho: \u00a1Ning\u00fan animal es gratis! \u00bfEst\u00e1s preparado para asumir ese compromiso financiero? Ser su tutor implica que su cuidado es tu responsabilidad: comida, agua, gastos veterinarios, adiestramiento, juguetes, golosinas, estimulaci\u00f3n mental, etc. \u00a1Los gastos pueden acumularse r\u00e1pidamente! Si bien no existen servicios veterinarios gratuitos, hay muchas cl\u00ednicas excelentes y econ\u00f3micas que pueden brindar atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica b\u00e1sica, pero es recomendable ahorrar anualmente o contar con estabilidad financiera en caso de una emergencia con tu mascota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfSer\u00e1 su nuevo animal una adici\u00f3n bienvenida a la familia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"families<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aseg\u00farese de tener en cuenta a toda la familia, especialmente a los dem\u00e1s animales de compa\u00f1\u00eda, cuando piense en incorporar a esa persona especial. \u00bfTodos acoger\u00e1n con agrado al animal y estar\u00e1n contentos con la decisi\u00f3n? \u00bfAlg\u00fan miembro de la familia tiene problemas m\u00e9dicos que puedan hacer que usted tenga que buscar un nuevo hogar para el animal en un a\u00f1o o dos (por ejemplo, alergias o asma)? \u00bfTodos los miembros de la familia se comprometer\u00e1n a cuidar al animal y lo aceptar\u00e1n como un miembro de la familia, no como una propiedad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En caso de que el animal pueda sobrevivirte, \u00bfexiste un plan de contingencia establecido para tu amigo?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sad<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Todos amamos a nuestros animales como si fueran de la familia, y parte de ser su cuidador es brindarles seguridad en caso de que el animal muera m\u00e1s que usted o que se produzca un cambio en su estilo de vida y usted ya no pueda cuidar de su animal. \u00bfTiene familiares o amigos de confianza con quienes pueda vivir su animal? Si necesita atenci\u00f3n temporal, alojar a su animal tambi\u00e9n puede ser una opci\u00f3n, pero puede ser costoso, por lo que se recomienda que considere sus opciones para el bienestar de su querido amigo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investiga sobre el animal que elijas antes de tomar una decisi\u00f3n final. \u00a1T\u00fa y tu nuevo amigo se alegrar\u00e1n de haberlo hecho!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
