If you can't travel because you don't have a car ... then you can't take the animal to the vet. You can get food for the animal on a regular basis. You can't obtain the necessary supplies to ensure the correct care for your pet.

If you can't do those things, then it's not the right time for you to have a pet. Rather than resorting to buying for a pet store and contributing to the overpopulation problem, why not wait until your circumstances change? Surely you're patient and unselfish enough to do what's in the best interest of the *animal*, right?
