I just visited a rescue and met a wonderful little cat. She is a tortie and just the sweetest thing. I held her and she was already snuggling right up under my chin!!! She is about 8 months old. (If i get her, I am naming her Stella)
Ripley is just over a year old and a male. He is friendly, came from a rescue where he was around ALOT of cats and seemed to get along very well with everyone. He is also not a super dominant cat.
The little girl kitty was kept with her VERY outgoing sister. Stella seemed the quieter of the two. Playful, but not as in your face as her sister. Stella has all her shots, is wormed and has tested neg. for fel/fiv (I think that is the abbreviation)
I had thought I would keep her in the kids playroom for the first few days. (now that they are in school, it is pretty quiet in there, most of the day - they only go in there to get dressed/changed) How long do you keep them seperated and what are the signs that they seem ready to meet and greet in person??? Thanks!!!
Now, all I have to do is convince my dh that this is a good idea.
I was thinking of getting her during the week when it is quieter around here, rather than the weekend when everyone is home and it is much louder.
