Mainly just need to tell someone cos I'm excited.
In August we took on a friend's cat because her youngest child was severely allergic. Then, yesterday, someone at work said that they had picked up a stray, but already have 4 cats so wanted someone else to take it.
We'd been thinking about getting a younger cat for company for the one we have. dh wasn't sure, but now I have her sitting in a big cat home type thing in my laundry room.
SO - questions
Tomorrow I take her to the vet. dd knows that any sign of illness & the cat is gone. As she was a stray, I'm not committing until happy that she's OK.
Anyway - which injections does she NEED? ie, I've never given a cat a leukemia shot before, but is it necessary?
Best way to introduce her to our existing cat (an older male)? He's not looking impressed right now. I will not be letting her out until the vet has checked her over, in case of communicating any illness. The existing cat has been hissing at her then walking off.
