>>206899 General etiquette: Don't yowl or meow at the cats. You can say things like 'here kitty kitty' and talk to them, but don't be a dick. Remember, these guys have cousins on the outside. Don't wiggle your fingers through the bars or make them chase your hands, unless you WANT to teach the cats to attack fingers. A cat that bites fingers shoved through the bars probably wont get adopted, and chances are they learned the behavior from retards trying to "play" with the cats.
If you see a cat you like, ask if you can place a hold on them, and come back tomorrow. If you still like the cat, come back the next day too. Most shelters do not allow first day adoptions, and if they did, I would seriously consider finding another shelter and not giving them money (or if you really really like the animal..tell them you are suspicious and would like to see medical records, etc.). A good shelter WANTS to give the animal to a good home, and a good home is one that wants their pet to come from a good shelter. Sure, you may look like a dick.. but seriously, I would rather give them to a dick who was gonna look after them than someone who just goes and gets a cat because it "looks purdy and matches the couch".
As another poster said, consider volunteering or fostering.
