What happens if no one adopts your Foster cat?
Foster cats typically stay with their foster families for as long as it takes to find them a forever home. If for whatever reason they can’t stay with that family, they will return to the rescue organization’s facility and/or be placed with a different family.
When to adopt a cat from a shelter?
Give her time to adjust. Your cat may have been happy & relaxed in the shelter or their foster home, but since then, they may have been examined by a vet, put in a cat carrier, taken a car trip, and now are in a total alien universe filled with strange sights, sounds and smells. Every cat is different, just like every home is different.
How old was the cat when he was adopted?
I know a family (with kids and dogs) had previously tried to adopt him but he was too scared with them and they gave up after a week. I think he was born and lived on the street until around a year old, but was hand-fed by a man who came by to take care of the family of cats.
How long does it take for a cat to adjust to a new home?
It may take your cat a week or two to adjust. Be patient. Within a week of being adopted, take your newly adopted cat for her first wellness visit with a veterinarian.
