Many people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are very popular pets. Some people,

set up to make sure that all animals are treated with kindness. The RSPCA in Hong Kong carries
out this aim. The RSPCA officers collect animals which have no homes and are left in the street.
They look after them until they are healthy again. People visiting the RSPCA may choose their
pets from these animals and you can be sure that you will get a healthy pet. If later your pet
becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at the RSPCA for treatment.
When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You must remember to
feed it at suitable times. You should also give it a clean and comfortable place to rest. Your pet
will be happy and healthy if you love it and care for it properly.
