About three weeks ago I posted a thread about adopting a male shelter cat who had too much energy for our apartment. We sadly had to return him but he is being rehomed to a place with a nice backyard. I cried for days and thought I couldn't ever get a new cat.
My girlfriend and I however really want another cat and this Saturday we are going to meet a female mom cat who seems a lot quieter and more relaxed. If it matches we can take her home with us.
I don't know how to feel. I feel like I failed one cat and I feel kind of bad for looking for a new one so quickly. I know people say it's okay to bring cats back to the (non kill) shelter if it's not a match but it feels kind of mean to go and adopt a new cat so soon. But every day we really want a nice cat to cuddle and play with.
Of course we don't fully know how this female will be so we will ask a lot of questions before deciding to adopt her. But I can't help thinking what if it goes wrong again, what if this one is also not a right fit.
Not really any questions. Just need to vent and maybe some advice or experiences you guys have.
Thanks!
