WIBU to just turn up at her house?

I am adopting a cat from a lady who no longer wants him.

I have all her address etc and am going at 3pm. Have asked to change to 1pm and haven't got a reply in 4 days now.

Would it be ok to still turn up at 3pm?

Just go. Poor little thing. The worst that can happen is she doesn’t answer the door.

Aww you're doing a lovely thing OP :) maybe try to contact her one more time, and then just go anyway. Wishing you all the best with your new feline companion! :)

Oxcheeks · 12/10/2017 01:18

Go at 1pm and if she's not there go back at 3pm and take the cat home to give him/her a fabulous life

oldlaundbooth · 12/10/2017 01:20

Yes please do go.

velvetdr · 12/10/2017 01:30

That's very reassuring! Thank you. I didn't want it to be extremely rude.

I'm really looking forward to having him home Smile

Yay! He's beautiful, congratulations! Hope you're able to get a vet appt soon to give him a thorough check up, chip & jabs if needed.

coughingbean · 12/10/2017 16:10

Awww look at him! Love him well op.

ohtheholidays · 12/10/2017 16:11

He is a gorgeous looking cat,did she say why she was getting rid of him?

He has a really sad look in his eyes bless him,but I'm sure that will be replaced with a look of real happiness after a short while in a home where he's wanted and loved,you've done a really lovely thing OP.

FloControl · 12/10/2017 16:12

Handsome fellow but those amber eyes are a bit creepy. Was his ex-owner wearing a pointed hat ?

Rachyabbadabbadoo · 12/10/2017 16:19

Looks like a Burmese to me! Beautiful breed.

biffyboom · 12/10/2017 16:24

Such a handsome chap 💙
I hope he settles in quickly.

Topbananaa · 12/10/2017 16:27

pinkmagic1 · 12/10/2017 16:28

DearMrDilkington · 12/10/2017 16:30

Beautiful boy and so sad looking. I hope he is healthy and has a long life with you. Do keep him safe and remember the bastard cat killer is still about.

UrsulaPandress · 12/10/2017 16:36

Gorgeous puss

RhiannonOHara · 12/10/2017 16:39

He looks fed up. Grin

I'm sure he'll cheer up once settled in to a home that does want him.

What's his name?

TheRealGussieFinkNottle · 12/10/2017 16:40

Aww he looks gorgeous OP :) have you decided what you're going to call him?
