Hmm we are up to 7 cats with one on the way.

We have adopted 3 cats from the RSCPA, Sheffield, 2 cats from The Cat Shelter, Sheffield and 2 (1 RB now) cats from Haworth Cat Shelter. Found one cat under a neighbours Bramble bush. Lastly adopted one over the internet !!!!

None of the charities visited our house but they all had us sign legally binding contracts which state they have the right to visit us at home when they like.

RSCPA are meant to have a 3 cat maximum rule, but they let us take Tigs (#6) as they knew we took good care of our cats.

Willam,

I would ensure that you make sure your home has no plants which are harmful to cats, that all valued breakables are in cupboards and that there is no trailing cables etc.

Outside it is important that you are not on or very close to a main road and you must lived more than 1/4 mile away from the nearest motorway.

Also shelters want to know that you understand the committment of owning a cat for the next 20 years or so.

(Yes, idiots DO let cats out if they live next door to a motorway )
