Check out petfinder.com’s new program, Fur Keeps, at petfinder.com/furkeeps. The site is dedicated to decreasing the number of pets surrendered to shelters (sadly, 84 percent of animal adoption organizations currently have adoptable pets who were given up due to issues that could have been resolved with proper training and resources). It offers advice for potential and new pet parents, such as an adoption checklist (to be sure you’re ready to take in that pet) and tips for how to make it through the first 30 days after bringing the pet home. And beginning on March 8—when the site launches its Ask the Experts Campaign—you can visit and ask a pet health or behavior question to a panel of experts.

Like most couples today, my husband and I are trying to spend less and save more. Here are a few things we’ve done to conserve cash when it comes to caring for our two cats:

*  We were paying a lot at the vet, so we shopped around for a new one. We called nearby clinics and asked about their prices, and asked friends for recommendations. We ended up switching to a friend’s vet. An exam used to cost us about $90 per cat; now we pay $45 (we live in New York City so the cost is still pretty high!).

Dogs and cats provide tons of love, but they also require lots of stuff—toys, food, leashes, prescriptions, collars, vet records…the list goes on. Keep track of everything with a labelmaker. This way, you won’t lose supplies and waste money buying new items.

*  Do you make your own pet food? Use a labeler to identify the meal, note thawing and cooking instructions and post the date it was frozen.

*  Put toys, doggie sweaters, leashes, collars and other accessories that you don’t use regularly in storage boxes. Use your labelmaker to mark the containers.

*  Do you take food out of its original bag and store it in plastic containers? Note the expiration date on the box so you’ll use it up before it goes bad.
