We Applied to Adopt a Kitty

We went to the SPCA today and put in an adoption application for a four month old cat named Bronco. Here are some pictures of him:

Over the last couple of days, we have been buying everything that we would need in the event that our application gets accepted (and I can't see why it wouldn't). I'll admit that we probably went a little crazy, but we ended up getting: some dry and wet food (Wellness), one bag of treats, some litter (Feline Fresh Scoopable), a litter box, a self-grooming brush, a pair of nail clippers, a collar with engraved name tag, some toys (a dangly one that hangs on the door, a dangly one that hangs on the wall, a feather on a string, a Turbo Scratcher, a ball, a mouse and some paper bags), a cat carrier, a very small cat condo and a cat tree.

Now we just need to wait for them to accept our application - they said that it should only be a day or two.

In the meantime, if any of you guys have any tips for bringing a new cat home, I would love to hear them.

Way to go - Bronco is very handsome!

You see to have everything you need - the only tip I can give you is to have patience - he might go into hiding for a few days when you bring him home - don't try and force him out, just make encouraging noises when he shows his face.

Ont he other hand he might be completely outgoing when you get him home, so you still need patience!! LOL

Whichever way it goes, I wish you luck. Bronco will be coming into a wonderful home.

He's sooo cute! Good luck on the application process!

Did your landlord change the pet policy? I remember you guys having to sneak Buddy in when you moved.

No, the policy is the same, but they do allow certain pets on a case by case basis. So we asked our Super if we could get a cat and she said that we could have one provided that we take good care of him (she's a big cat lover) and took that we take responsibility for any disturbances or damages that he may cause.
