Thread: Found home

    Found home

    I know it is probably because I am attached to them and just emotional, but my dad called and he found a home for one of the kittens I have been taking care of. Someone he works with.
    The problem is: it is someone who will have her as indoor/outdoor cat.
    The thought of them being outdoors concerns me....traffic, weather, cruel people. I know allot of people here have indoor/outdoor cats without a problem....am I being silly because this concerns me?

    I suppose it depends on the circumstances....
    - urban or rural area (although both have their dangers!)
    - does the person already have other cats which are indoor/outdoor?
    - if he has no other cats, is there an opportunity to "educate" him? Many people who are not cat owners are not even aware that some cats are "indoors only"

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    ALl the cats I knew growing up were indoor/outdoor kitties. It depends on the nieghborhood, really, as for how safe it will be.

    I personally would not feel comfortable with it at all. I don't really think that any area is safe. Seems to always be cars, predators, or both. But that is just MY OPINION! I'm not criticizing anyone with indoor/putdppr cats.

    Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure if the person has other cats, animals or family. My dad says the location is not very built up with the respect to housing and traffic...farm like.

    But, I admit I question if my dad is completely honest...he knows how attached I can be to animals and I think he may tell me what he thinks I want to hear and may sugarcoat details.
    I guess I need to do my homework and find out for sure if my dad is trying to spare me or if this guy really wants to provide a good home.
