Questions to ask before adoption

Visit your local shelter first ​

Throughout the spring and summer, animal shelters throughout the country are inundated with hundreds of homeless cats and dozens of litters of kittens. Tragically, about 71% of these animals will have to be put to sleep because there are not enough loving homes. For this reason, the American Humane Association recommends checking out your local shelter or breed placement group first.

Steps for adoption:

• Make an appointment with an adoption counselor. Calling ahead saves time, as shelters are busy places staffed mostly by volunteers.
• Consult a veterinarian about the health issues of different breeds of cats. Some medical problems are more common in certain breeds.
• Prepare a list of questions and bring it with you to the shelter.
• Request a tour of the animal wards and exercise rooms. All areas should be clean, comfortable and odor-free - indicators of quality care.
• Observe the cats available for adoption. Select an active one that shows no signs of respiratory disease, such as sneezing or watery eyes.
• Ask if the cat has been examined by a veterinarian or animal technician.
• Ask whether the cat has been tested for feline leukemia, vaccinated, treated for fleas and given worm medication.
• Play with the cat and check that she has clean ears, healthy pink membranes in her mouth and no evidence of diarrhea under the tail.
• Check the skin for flea debris or patches that are scaly, inflamed or lacking hair. These could indicate ringworm, which is treatable but contagious (to you and other pets).
• Pay the adoption fee and consider making a donation. Most animal shelters are private, not-for-profit organizations, operating solely on donated funds.
• Be prepared to leave the cat at the shelter an additional 24 hours. Most shelters require this waiting period to discourage impulsive adoptions.
• Take the cat to a veterinarian soon after adoption. Follow the veterinarian's recommendations for completing the vaccination, worming and preventative health protocol

I don't have cats yet:-[ we have an old male cat which each evening walks on our fence straight under my dogs nose and barks but we didn't adopt him yet. I do have 2 snails in an aquarium, 2 tortoises which are walking only inside of the house and the 2 dogs in the yard. I don't have a big yard but they like to sit in the yard door (when its opened) and watch what happens in the street

 

[Mawaddah]

Here is another addition to our cat family

Another one of the cats had 5 kittens so that makes it 12 now that we have in the house because we had to give 2 away

We haven't named this set yet even though they're almost a month old....just can't get around to it

Here is just one pic. This kitty was really sleepy and was stumbling around and found this bowl on the floor empty and thought 'hey! this looks cozy' :giggling:

 

[Tania]

She is sooo cute I don't think i will let Alice to have other puppies:-[ I can find so hard houses for the puppies.

 

[snakelegs]

you're gonna be over run with dogs!
from the pix, i like falconetti. i miss my dog - she died over a year ago and i have never been this dogless before. cats are cool, but they sure ain't dogs.

Feline Temperament Testing during the adoption steps

If the one that captures your heart is an older feline, here are a few suggestions from animal behaviorists on how to perform a temperament test in the shelter.

• Find out who is friendly. When you talk to them, many cats will greet you by rubbing against the cage door and purring.
  
  
• Meet with the cat in a quiet indoor environment. Hold your fingers out and scratch the neck and head area. If he continues to respond in a positive manner, then the cat was probably well socialized in his last home.
  
  
• Determine a cat's tolerance for touch. Try to hold the cat. If she immediately struggles to get away, she may not like human contact. Try a few more times, since the cat may be stressed and need a few minutes to calm down.
  
  
• Test the cat for affection or aggression. After petting a cat a few times, does he nail you with his claws? This cat may not be happy with being petted, which is something to consider if you are looking for a lap cat.
  
  
• Another thing to keep in mind is that cats are very sensitive to the scent of other cats. Consider changing your shirt and washing your hands thoroughly before visiting with another cat.
  
• Don't think you have to adopt an animal on your very first visit. This is a big commitment, so take your time. It may require many visits to find the right pet.
