Maybe you and your dad can take your mom for a drive and just take her to the shelter without telling her where she's going. But I don't think the actual adoption should be a surprise so you can be sure your mom is getting what she wants.

Also, what do you think about keeping the new kitten inside only to prevent a horrible accident from happening again?
I agree. I think that it should be a suprise, but I would make make it one by 'just' winding up at the shelter. Well, oh my gosh what will we do here That way she can get one that she likes and seem like a good match.

I just read your other post, and the decision on indoor/outdoor is yours. I just thought that I would put in my opinon and take it for what it is worth, free.

Anyway, I think that it is a good idea whatever your choices are.
