I went to a new vet yesterday (I posted about it in Health & Nutrition) and they have a few cats for adoption.
There is one boy that I LOVED; he was a stray that was brought in because he had a wound to his face (it's all better now and the fur is starting to grow back). He is mostly white with some tabby markings.
There is also a young black and white male that got hit by a car; he is only about six months old though so I'm not sure if I want to go through kitten crazies.
The vet tech held the older boy near the front of Abbyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s carrier to see how they would react. Abby just sniffed and didn't seem too upset, of course this was after her exam and butt shave so she was probably too stressed to really pay attention. He didn't seem too interested and even gave a little growl but she said he has been in his cage for a while so he probably just wanted to explore.
I have been thinking about getting another cat since about six months after we got Abby but it always got put off, now that weâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve moved and are settled I am thinking now is the time. First I need to feel out the rental office. When we moved in we paid the pet fee for Abby but when I signed the lease I noticed that it said that all cats must be declawed
(Abby is NOT declawed and I would never to that to a cat!!). DH thinks I mentioned it to them and they said it was no big deal but I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t remember that. They never asked me if she was or not. I think itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s something thatâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s in the contract but they donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t enforce it. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m thinking about just adding the second fee to my rent with a note that I got a second cat here is his description. This place is pretty big so I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t think theyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll even notice (they will probably be happy that I was honest enough to tell them about the second cat).
The vet has a very nice policy on adoptions, they will allow you to take the cat and see if it will work out and if not you can bring the cat back. They also donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t charge a set fee they just ask you to make a donation. I would probably give them $100-$125 since that is the cost to adopt from most shelters/rescues down here.
It very important to me that Abby is happy. I would of course do slow introductions and give it quite a while for them to adjust but if she is unhappy at all I wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t keep him. Abby had a rough start to life so my main goal now is to see that she is happy and spoiled. My husband is OK with getting another cat so if he is still available in December I may take him.
