Hi everyone! I've been a long-timer lurker who is in need of some collective wisdom from this forum
. As mentioned in the Cat Health forum, we had Buddy come to us (actually, dumped is more like it) at our acreage in November... the rescues were all jammed full, so we decided to take him on, get him neutered and his shots, and try to get him rehomed this spring... we have three other neutered males, and frankly Buddy is having "issues" with them (stalking and charging)... he's absolutely a fantastic cat one-on-one with humans, but doesn't have the social skills to interact with the other three, most likely because of earlier abuse... it's an ongoing project and there are glimmers of progress, but we really think he would do better in his forever home as either top cat or only cat.... I've put a poster up at the vets, and will likely do another one at the local pet store... my question is this... when (or if!) someone calls, what do I ask them to make sure they are a suitable home for Buddy? Would it be rude to ask them what their qualifications are, whether they are able to provide a secure home, etc.? What questions would you ask?
If no one ends up calling, Buddy will stay with us, and we will make it work somehow... because of the aggression issues we have him living in the garden house away from the other three (to give all four a break!), but it would be nice to have him be happy in his own home...
Thanks for your input...
