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.
We live in Weymouth, which is miles and miles from Motorway We do not have plants except for fresh cut flowers, and we have no valuables in the cupboards so that's all sorted, but still need to work on trailing cables.

We plan to redecorate the bahroom and living room in August-September so the adoption will have to wait after the house is back in order.

BTW, lots of cats in this neighbourhood. One of them often comes over and stays for a little while (but not long enough).

Thanks again for the valuable inputs and warm welcomes everyone!
