We’re going to check out some foster cats to adopt (only one!!!) today. I’m excited because I get to play with cats to see which ones like me.
I’ve had two cats for years and years (and the dog) in the house together but since the old cat has passed away and we’re bringing a new cat home, should I buy this stuff? Has anyone used it before?
I’m getting another fixed male cat because I’ve always found they are the most loving. Just me? I guess all cats have different personalities and histories. That’s one of the reasons why I’m keen to get a slightly older cat so the foster knows their personality and we’ll know if it’s the right fit for us.
Can I show you some more gorgeous cats that were going to see? I’ll save the cutest for last.
I think I accidentally deleted my last thought so sorry if I’m repeating myself but the interesting and sad part this week since Harley left us is that Shadow and Churro are much better together. They’d never even be in the same room before and now look at this.
@Kungfupussy You're correct re: fixed males in my experience.
@Rick_16_Soisson they are such goofballs. Mine is anyhow and I adore him. I loved my girl (also fixed) cats too but they were definitely more aloof
@Kungfupussy I am pretty sure he's just a regular tabby. He's cute. Looks like a purry love.
@AlbertCashiersCousin yeah he looks like it for sure doesn’t he? I think they use tags for folks like me who would like a specific breed but think eh, anyone will be wonderful.
I almost want to get this massive dude but the fact he was listed as unadoptable for a minute is a worry. Look at him! He’s so big! I did contact the foster but didn’t hear back.
@Kungfupussy maybe he is a foster failure i.e. the foster parent wants to keep him.
@AlbertCashiersCousin who wouldn’t! He’s a beast.
@Kungfupussy i prefer females. just always have. but i do prefer a bit older rescues. the kittens are cute but you don't know what you're going to get. i prefer the know their personality before i adopt.
@singlemaltgirl exactly! I’ve already raised two human teenagers and that was enough so I prefer knowing what I’m getting myself into
Did I show you the cat we’re going to see? We’re driving to Tehachapi (geez) to check out Crookshanks -I want to change his name though.
In case it doesn’t work out the foster has other cats and there are loads more in the area. I really want a Maine Coon but I’m not buying one! All of my pets (except rando 🐠) have been from shelters or foster groups.
