Foster a pet. Do you like cats and/or dogs? Do you not want to fully commit to owning an animal? You might want to foster a pet. You will help the pet and yourself. In most cases when you foster a pet, you do not pay for its food or veterinarian bills.
From the SPCA page: For canines and felines, the SPCA will provide crates, carriers, food bowls, bedding, towels, toys, leash/collar, food (dry and canned), newspaper, puppy pads, litter, litter box/scooper. They will also provide a heating pad, bottles, and milk replacement for very young/bottle babies. The SPCA also covers the cost of all medical care, including vaccines, flea prevention, or trips to the vet.
Please note the link is to the Wake County SPCA. You will most likely have a local animal shelter or county SPCA that will cover mostly the same things. This is a thrifty way to have a pet, and you’re saving an animal’s life.
You may end up falling in love and adopting your foster animal. Then you have to pay for all that stuff yourself.
I hope you will save an animal!
