Jenn,

Sounds good we will just have to wait and see what happens that following Monday when I take him to the vets and see if he's good to go or what at that time.

Thank you again so much,

Melissa

One major thing that worries me is that I don't want to have another cat that is going to be unadoptable, and then have a cat living here for years as a foster. I am over the city limit by 5 right now (double the limit). There is a possibility that I could put him in our shelter if he's negative for FeLV and doesn't get along with my foster Sassy. I don't want to doom any cat to the shelter, but I guess it would be better than nothing. If he's negative for FeLV and FIV, and he's in good health and will be updated on his shots and neutered and will be able to handle being on display, he could go to PetSmart in the future as well. Any cat that is positive for anything or ill in any way is not allowed in PetSmart (their rules).

As for when to meet, I can't say right now because I don't know what my schedule is going to be for my PT job. I'm hoping to be able to know what it will be in a few days. I'll be there tomorrow night, so if I get an update, I'll let you know ASAP.
