Squeek, my recently passed cat was an indoor cat only and there were no other animals nor will there be with the next one.
Thanks for replying.
As others have stated, if you only plan on having a One Cat Only household, then this kitty could be considered for adoption. With care, and know that your new kitty should not be in contact with other felines. Your niece is the best source of information on that.
Every cat case is different, there is no right-wrong answer to whether to adopt this kitty or not. If you are able to give the love and care for this special case kitty, the rewards is (almost always) worthwhile. Most of my cats return the love two (five) fold.
p/s: I said most, because I’m still working on one of mine, who absolutely HATES being man-handled. After close to nine years in my care, now I can pat her on the back and just recently I can smack her forehead during feeding time. And I so look forward to the days when she finally will curl up in my lap, maybe in another nine years!
