Hey all. Unfortunately, Jumanji’s wonderful breeder very suddenly passed this Saturday. As such, we’ve all been in a flummox finding homes for her cats. Fortunately, homes have been found for everyone, but I didn’t have it in me to let Jumanji’s father, Chips, go to someone none of us (the breeders’ friends and graduate owners) knew particularly well, as we all want to make sure the rest of his life is lived as the breeder would have wanted.
As such, I’m finding myself taking in a second cat later today I wasn’t quite prepared for yet. Of course, I have all the essentials at home, as well as the budget to care for him, so there’s nothing critical to be done, as Chips is healthy, and has been neutered for a while now.
Mostly, I’m looking for some advice and insight on any precautions I may want to take considering the situation. Jumanji stayed with the breeder till she was 8 months, and her dad was neutered during a large part of her time living there (To clarify, the castrated cats lived with the young ones that graduated the nursery and were waiting for homes). As such, I do imaging they’d still be familiar with each other. Plus, from everything I’ve heard, really well-socialized cats from a breeder are usually a relative breeze to introduce.
That being said, even with being fairly young (he’s around 4 to 5 if memory serves), he did suffer a great loss, as he was the breeders favourite pet after he was castrated. I was hoping someone could provide me with some advice on how to aid the poor boy’s healing.
