Let's Learn About You!

What is your level of experience when caring for cats?

*

No experience yet, but I'm excited to learn!

Some experience, I have had owned a cat or kitten.

Lots of experience, friends & family consider me an expert.

How do you describe the noise level/atmosphere in your home?

*

Very quiet, few residents & not many visitors. It's like a library.

Average activity level, we're not party animals.

Very busy, lots of people coming & going. It can be loud at times.

What activity level are you looking for with this new cat or kitten?

*

Very active! A young cat or kitten that will zoom around the house & needs lots of attention and play time.

Medium energy. A young adult or teen cat that will like some playtime or catnip, but also enjoys napping with me.

Mellow. An adult cat (maybe a senior) that is calm, mature and will enjoy lap time.

How quickly will this newly adopted cat or kitten need to adjust to your home?

*

Not important that they settle quickly. My life is pretty predictable and I can allow them the time they need to feel at home.

Somewhat important. We have friends over from time to time and I am looking to show off this new friend ASAP!

Very important. My household frequently has changes to the environment & people in it.

When I am interacting with my cat or kitten, I would like them to be in my lap or engaged with me:

*

Little of the time. It's okay for the kitty to hang out with me, or choose to be independent. I will let them decide.

Some of the time. I don't like a cat that is too clingy, but I do want snuggle sessions.

Most of the time. I need a friend that wants to spend as much time as possible with me.

I expect this new cat or kitten to enjoy being held:

*

Little of the time. I'm okay with our relationship being on their terms and I don't expect to be able to hold them.

Some of the time. I love when the kitty chooses who it wants to be with and when it wants to be held.

Most of the time. I want lots of contact and I prefer a cat that is fond of being held.

This new cat will need to be ok with being alone in my home:

*

More than 8 hours per day

About 4-8 hours per day

Less than 4 hours per day
