Rescuing a stray?
This is our 5 year old Felix. He’s got no front claws (we rescued him this way) we’ve had him about 4 years. He’s very loved and showered with attention. He hates being alone. He gets anxious when he knows we’re leaving then walks around screaming for a little while before settling down. So we’re thinking of getting another cat. When we rescued him one of the little bullet points was “gets along with other cats†or “likes other cats†but after being the only cat in the house for so Long can this cause problems? There’s a tuxie stray at work I’ve been feeding. She looks young, like maybe 1 or 2 years. I’m thinking of bringing her home. I work for the city and could get them to catch her, spay her, give her vaccinations and an overall checkup. Which they do for all strays. Is it ethical to take her off the street which she’s used to? Is it hard to get them to then adapt to living in a house? Or with another cat? She’d be strictly indoors because there’s hawks and other large birds in our area. It’s a 3 bedroom house so there’s plenty of room for them. Felix has just been so
Perfect I’m afraid of disrupting that. At the same time I think he’d like the company. I know it would take some work to introduce them but is it a possible nightmare that im chancing? Any advice tips or even opinions are welcome.
