After not sleeping very well with worry over the home visit assessment tonight we got up and scrubbed the kitchen floor and frantically tidied up the house. We set off to the RSPCA centre armed with a blanket ready for the cat. I thought this would help her settle in as turning up to a strange house may be traumatic enough without having something smelling of her.
The staff were thrilled as this enables them to wash the bedding and use it for another cat. They are desperate for bedding at present for all their animals.
We explained to the staff I had been worried about the home visit and they said we should be ok so long as we don't live by a main road.
We then visited our chosen cat and I was much happier leaving her as you will see from the photo she was content when we left.
The RSPCA volunteer turned up early and we needn't have worried too much. The assessment is just a chat and while chatting the volunteer completes a questionnaire two of the questions were totally irrelevant to cats "who will exercise the animal?" and "How often will the animal be given exercise?"
So we answered these as honestly as possible the first with "herself" and the second "As often as she likes".
So it is paws crossed for tomorrow as we get the verdict from the visit.
