If you’re unsure or not ready to commit to a new pet, fostering might be a great alternative. For instance, if you’re an international student planning to move back home, if you travel frequently or for extended periods and don’t have someone to care for a pet, or if the expenses of a new pet feel overwhelming right now - fostering can be a wonderful option: https://colonycats.org/foster_app.html
