Ok I want a second cat for my baby Envy as a companion, well really for me hehe. Ive put in an adoption application for a siamese mix but haven't heard back about it yet, I know the cat currently has ringworm so it will be a while before its safe to bring him home if I am approved, but that leads to my first question. Id like to visit this kitty to see if we have that bond I knew I had immediatly with Envy but im concerned about bringing the ringworm back to her, is just thouroughly washing my hands/clothes good enough or is it just too risky? Also, how long does the adoption approval process normally take?
Also...I don't currently have a job, my fiance works on contract, meaning its feast or famine most of the time. We do however have an emergency credit card with a $5000 limit just in case Envy gets sick or some other emergency comes up. Is it a bad idea to get a second cat financially? We can provide should unexpected vet fees arise, and we always have enough for the day to day expenses.
Heaven forbid my fiance and I break up (I can't imagine it happening, we both felt like weve known each other our whole lives ever since we met) but if we do my parents would take me and the cats in.
I realise pets are a 20+ year long commitment, and I cannot imagine my life without Envy, it just wouldn't seem real.
Any advice from people who have gone through the adoption process before would be greatly appreciated.
