[I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum]
Okay, here's my little story;
My friends neighbour has this cat that he doesn't want anymore and wants to get it put to sleep, which I can't let him do. I think it's really heartless and I won't let it happen - so my solution is to take this cat in and give it a new home. I'm still slightly grieving over my cat that I cherished who I had to get put down 7 months ago due to it being diagnosed with feline leukemia. That cat was my baby and it was hard to get over and I don't want to feel like I'm just replacing him.
My Mum and I have decided that we'll most likely take this cat in with the owners permission but were a bit apprehensive. We own a dog who loves cats - but were not sure how the cat will react to being thrown into such a new environment.
I've read the section on the site about bringing a new cat home but is there any other good advice?
Has anybody been in a similar position taking a cat in?
