Mewz Newz

Thank you for considering adopting a kitty from me!

You will be making a 15-20+ year commitment to the cat you adopt, and my goal is to help make the best match possible for you and your future kitty. The following questions (and future dialog!) will help me achieve that goal. I appreciate the time you take to answer them!

There are no right and wrong answers to any questions that I pose :) I am not looking for “perfect homes” for my kitties, I am looking for “perfect fits” for them!

NOTE! I have not run in to a character limit, so feel free to say whatever you need to!

5. Do you anticipate a change in your living situation within the next few years? If so, what?

6. Please introduce yourself and your family : ) For example, There are just two of us living in my home at the moment – myself and my husband, Stephen. We are both 42. I work mostly from home as a consultant for both feline nutrition and behavior training, mostly from veterinarian referrals – a lot of what I do can be done over the phone or by email. When I need to visit in person, I am usually gone for a couple of hours. My husband is an Information Technology professional and works in the city – he usually leaves around 7:30am, and is usually home by about 6pm. Sometimes he has to work overnight or on weekends to do projects (one or the other, maybe once per month), and once in a while he flies out of town to manage other location’s projects. We are mostly homebodies, but I do occasionally spend the day or a weekend at a cat show. We are rarely gone overnight, but when we are – my adult daughter comes to stay with the kitties.

7. Please introduce your fur family – name, species/breed, age, temperament, experience with cats for each, and what you feed your cats and dogs : )

8. What experience do you have with kitties? How about Persians or Exotics?

11. Did you have a budget in mind?

12. What are you most looking for from your new kitty? Give me a few ideas! Could include color, sex, behavior traits. Be sure to tell me what appeals to you, and what – if anything – does not.

13. Are you interested in showing and/or breeding? (If you think you might be, I need to know upfront.)

14. What expectations do you have about grooming your new kitty?

15. Do you have a regular veterinarian you see? If so, whom?
