Hello all! I just recently became engaged and plan to get married sometime in June. Within a month of getting married, my fiancé and I will need to move across the state so that he can begin graduate school to receive a Masters in counseling.
Here is where this post becomes related to cats: I want us to adopt a kitten as soon as we can. We are currently not living together and I do not plan on moving in with him until our wedding. I am trying to decide whether or not we should wait to adopt until we are moved and settled in our new location. I can only imagine how stressful it would be for a kitten to come into a new home for a month, only to be uprooted again, followed by a cross-state car ride! However, I would love to have a cat from our current city; we met here during college, we are both recent graduates, and will have married here. It seems fitting that our first "child" be born here.
On the same note, though, it would be just as fitting and symbolic to adopt as soon as we move.
I recognize that the obvious decision here would be to wait, but I'd just like "experienced" opinions to confirm my instinct! The little girl inside of me says, "I want to rescue a kitten NOW!!!" :crazy
