I'm getting a new cat!

[Sevaede]

At the moment, I am new to the whole fostering and adopting out process. I am on my own as far as that area goes although I will be volunteering with shelters and whatnot here in town.

Anyways. Sorry to ramble. My point is, I am currently fostering a kitten. If you would like, I'll PM you with any details and whatnot.

CONGRATULATIONS!

First, let me say that you will know the right cat when you see him/her. And if you are going to meet a tortie, please watch carefully her interactions with the other cats in the home. They tend to have...........well .......special personalities.

I emphasize the thought of going with a somewhat older cat. Keep in mind that a sole kitten (unless you adopt two ) will torment your boys. Now, they may turn out to enjoy it, many do, but it is just a little risky if you want to make sure you keep peace in the house.

AND, if you would like to judge how the new cat will fit in personality-wise, you'd need to go with a cat over 6 months. If you choose a 12 week old sweet little kitten, in 5 months she could be a domineering bully who decides she wants to be an only cat. (for example)

PLUS younger babies are REALLY into everything. Many people forget just how "busy" they can be at that age and how much trouble they will cause. Our rescue group ALWAYS advises 2 babies at the same time to make sure they always have an outlet for all that energy. (a guarenteed playmate)

But either way good luck in your search. It will be so much fun to have a new baby.

Oh man, so we went to visit Tiffany (the tortie) today, and we're picking her up on Friday........ Everyone's advice was completely sound, and without holding her in my arms I was in complete agreement....... But she needed a home, and oh my, she is hard to say no to!! She's about 8 weeks old now, which is a little younger than what we planned, but she's been bottle fed since she was 3 days old (she was found in a DUMPSTER!!!!!!!!), and is extremely affectionate and people reliant. The lady that has been fostering her was quite atttached to her, and isn't looking forward to saying goodbye. I'm not sure how my boys are going to take it, but there's an outlet for Bob's boundless energy now, and perhaps Don can finally get the peace he's been craving (with Bob occupied by the little gas molecule ).

CONGRATULATONS (again) I knew you would not be able to visit a KITTEN and say "NO thanks". LOL LOL

[Sevaede]

Oh, you're so very welcome!

I am so glad you found a fur baby for you!

Bob sounds like Soni and Don sounds like Isis!
