the RSPCA do careful personality and needs matching
don’t be shy in describing your home situation and your present cat, they will find a new cat friend who will be happy with you both
I was so nervous when i got Bill Cat, thinking living in an apartment and being quiet people would be bad, but no, Bill needed all that. He needed a small private safe place and needed quiet older people. So it really is about matching. There is no right or wrong,
Hey goonsy! How’s things? Oh, and Bill cat, and Ted cat (?)! How are they?
The RSPCA seem decent. When I lived in a state care home in Ballarat, I was really missing my cats at home. The RSPCA has/had a shelter in Ballarat with an interesting setup: they had the usual cages out the back, but they also personality matched 5 cats each into 2 tall floor-ceiling cages they had. It was a bit smaller than an average bedroom, from memory. Enough space for a couple of cat trees, a couch, and plenty of space to run around in
Provided you didn’t mind the cat hair, you could sit on the couch for a little while and play with/pet the cats. I really liked that setup. I believe the RSPCA stopped running it sometime after I moved, and it transitioned into council control. But AFAIK they kept the same setup
Yeah, I think a lot of shelter cats and strays are like that. Need time and space to decompress and a while to build up trust. My place is generally fairly calm, but also on occasion pretty hectic when the tradespeople, inspections, smoke alarm testers etc come barging through. And the neighbours have been doing some rennos recently, which has had resident cat up in arms
So nice to see you. 😺😊
