Hi,
I have been caring for 3 feral cats for about a year or so with a co-worker since their "home" is in a wooded area close to the area where we park for work. There is one girl who is very sweet and we had her spayed in December of 2012. She is currently about 7 pounds, white and black with the prettiest light blue eyes. Her name is Willow. She sometimes tries to cross the street and I am worried she may get hit. She comes out and follows us around and loves to be pet. I tried picking her up once but she immediately wanted to get down, although she has never tried to scratch or bite either one of us, she's very gentle. I have decided to take her home. I have a vet apt tomorrow at 5:30PM (wednesday) and then i plan on putting her in a 3 level cat condo/cage in the spare bedroom at home with the door closed. I do have a declawed 6 year old cat at home already that has never been around another animal. I would like to keep willow and give her a good home. Any feedback from anyone who has ever had to do this would be greatly appreciated! I have been reading a lot online and will keep them separated for a few days and introduce them slowly. I am not going to lie, I am nervous and hope this works out and they become best friends in a few months. would love to hear similar experiences from others!
thank you!!
