Adopting a Cat

A woman who lives in my community died and she left two cats behind.
One is described as a 6 year old Orange Tabby named Buffy. She was a
stray the woman took in. Not a feral, described as rather timid until
she gets to know you then turns into a lap cat.

The other cat (Frankie) was described as a male Flame Point Siamese. He
was adopted from a shelter in Georgia and is about 6-7 years old. He's
described as one who will follow the caretaker around and purr. I have
a feeling that means he's rather vocal. G

I said I'd be willing to take them on but I've only ever had a single
cat. I wouldn't want to split them up if they are best buddies, but
would you be willing to adopt them out separately?

I got a phone call from the caretaker of the cats. She said she really
thinks they'd be better off being homed separately. (Guess they aren't
exactly best buddies.) So, tomorrow morning I'm off to meet Buffy to
see if she likes me.

I did ask if there are any vet records. I need to know if the cat needs
a trip to the vet or required shots. Or any sort of special food. I
really do want to know this before I adopt the cat. They don't have any
vet records. (sigh)

Anyway, looks like I might be adopting a cat. I hadn't planned on it
quite so soon but since I was told they've been moping around since
their owner died... yeah, I'll probably be trying to make a cat happy
tomorrow.

.... and hopefully you will be making yourself happy at the same time. You
have a good heart, and you know you're doing the right thing! I hope your
new cat will agree. Good luck.

This is great. You will make a cat happy...and yourself, too. I hope
it works out for you.
