If you really want to have an animal and are willing to take good and proper care of it, then adopt it as a huge number of animals are discarded and looking for a new home. Shelters are full of poor and abandoned animals who would be immensely grateful if they were given a new, warm home.
An adopted animal will be immensely grateful to you, but you should know that no beginning of living together with a new member is easy, as many adopted animals have been abused in the past, so they need to get used to the new owner and new home.
I also adopted our cat two months ago. I try to offer her a beautiful home and love.An animal doesn't just need food .. it also needs your love.
I would adopt her, I adore them, but I already have two dogs Lena and Enca who are a threat to her and a hamster Procopius who is a threat to a cat, I don't know how everyone would get along: D
