So. I think I'm ready. But I am dubious about going through the Humane Society again given my last experience. I'm also dubious about going through Craigslist, and Petfinder appears to only do shelters in my area. I think I want kittens again (if I do I want to get them directly from their mother, like I did Morgan and Linnet), but I'm not 100% sure. I might go for one a bit older. I would vastly prefer male(s). I have a hankering for tabbies (in any color but orange -- Linnet was my orange tabby for this lifetime), but that's not set in concrete.

I'm not sure where else to look. I'm more concerned about making sure I get healthy, non-neurotic cats than anything else.

Any suggestions?

Which shelter, if you don't mind my asking? (you're just an hour up the road from me) And how did you get the information to vet their track record?

Thanks.

It was Homeward Pet, and we had a friend who worked there at the time so we had direct input from her as to the general health of and care given to their animals. When they got in the litter of kittens that wound up being the source for Fred and George, too, we were able to come in and play with them by way of checking them out and seeing if they were the kitties we wanted--and we got to see the overall condition of the place as well.

Hope that helps!

It does. Unfortunately, they're about as far north of Seattle as I am south, so I think I will probably stay closer to home.

Thanks!

Welcome!

Meanwhile I am given the recommendation of PAWS as a worthy animal agency, and Purrfect Pals shows up at the Street Fair every year with an adoption booth. They were there in May with an adorable bunch of kitties that they called their 'marketing staff'. ;)
