We LOVE people who adopt, honest, we do, even if we may look like the Interrogator-From-Hell during pre-screening. Not that we’re old-hands at this business of finding cats homes, but we’ve come across a few situations where we find that some prior knowledge to set the expectations on both sides might have helped. So here’s some of our opinions and thoughts about the adoption process.
