Most of the time this is a very hard choice to make when it comes to cats that have been with us for little or a long time. The reason we rehome our cats are different.
Sometimes a cattery may have too many cats for some cats comfort levels and they prefer to be in a home with not so many cats.And for the well being of the specific cat we need to make that choice. Some cats may need to be in a single cat household.
These choices are for the health and wellbeing of our cats. This can be very hard as we are attached to them and they to us, but we know that it is much better for them. Sometimes, as responsible breeders,we need to improve our lines to make the breed better and to do this we are always adding cats and kittens. We cannot be cat collectors.
This may seem harsh to some people but if they try to understand it is better for the cat all round.
You are not getting a "disposable cat" but a wonderful, well adapted cat.
This is a very unselfish choice. Adult cats as a rule are already spayed or neutered with all their vaccinations.They will also be wormed and flea treated.
They may be retired young show and breeding cats or, possibly, a rescued cat from our breeding.
We will always be honest about the personalities and health of the specific cat you are looking at. Sometimes an adult cat may be a wonderful alternative rather than getting a kitten.
Many people want adults as they seem to fit into their lifestyle better than a kitten. Sometimes when a person is here looking at kittens an adult cat may choose them.
This happens quite a few times and is very unplanned. I hope this helps to understand the importance of rehoming an adult cat and the reasons we rehome our adults is becouse we actually LOVE them.
As the saying goes, Cats leave paw prints on your heart and we have a lot of paw prints on ours. We love our cats beyond our own selfishness - we want them to be in a quiet home surrounded by family and love.
I am howerver,highly seleclive and extremely careful where I home any adult neutered cat of my own.I make sure that the new home and the potential new owner are completely compatible.
