Hi, I got two topics of discussion and one flows out of another... so please bare with me... this is not a TL; DR kind of discussion, I don't think any of my threads so far really been a TL; DR type of a topic.
Is it considered acceptable to find a stray and claim it as long as you take it to the Vet and do what is necessary for the cat to be in good shape?
What happens if I go to the OSPCA or an equivalent Humane Society like organization to make sure the cat gets what it needs... will they claim it their own cause now they're paying for it, let alone better equipped to care for it?
I guess I am trying to find my newly purchased kitten (10 days old). I am still waiting for it to get to 12-14 weeks prior to picking it up other than vet care until I rehome it. I want to get another one for free to balance out how the one I got cost me a bit more than it should have and see if there's like a cheap way to make sure it is okay without harming the cat...
Pretty much I am asking if there is a "Catt Welfare" program for people who make a good income but live in a very EXPENSIVE city and have to pay ridiculous real estate related fees...lol.
Not only am I trying to make sure my kitten will have a life-partner, I am trying to save one from the streets hoping it will also bond me with insanely knowing that I saved its life (theoretically it can work right?)

Now another question... HYPOTHETICALLY and that is only cause this topic came up while chatting with my friends... If you decide it is not working out after several weeks or months and say you want to rehome the second cat... Is it ethical? Is it cruel?
You will make sure it will go to a good home and you still saved it and let it develop to 6-12 months old and made sure it got all the care it needed to have a great life but you are getting rid of it after it may have gotten used to a certain lifestyle with you and the kitten friend and now that he may have even bonded with you, it is being given to someone else.
I don't know what you might say if I did not put it in those words (which make it look cruel) but I wanted to make sure I am not asking it in a biased manner only pointing out the good points. Let alone it might have not even bonded and could be a complete d*ck to you and/or your original kitten and you need to find it another home. for any reason... would it be okay in your eyes?
