    I see a lot of people in german language cat groups that say it`s extremely hard to adopt from german shelters even for people who had cats for decades. Being an experienced cat owner it´s easy in Austria. I went there with a cat carrier, told them my previous cat had died aged 12, my boy is now lonely and needs an age appropriate companion. I set in a room full of elder female cats and chose a shy little lady. they guessed she`s 13 years old. So perfect. I had her for 6 years.

    I have just sent my latest foster cat to his forever home. His paperwork says he is 10 years old. The vet said maybe 6. Based on his behaviour I would guess he might be even younger. The only thing giving a rough estimate for an adult cats age are the teeth. Unfortunately he has FIV which is notorius for prematurely rotting teeth. Fortunately he found a new home where he is loved for his rambunctious nature no matter his age.

    Going by our two cats: They were from two parallel litters, being brought up by the same mum. Still, they never really became friends, but when we were not home could be surprised lying on the same bed when we returned. And now, that one of them has died, the other one definitely misses her companion.
    So, Clyde may never openly accept Anneliese, he is, after all, a grumpy old man. But I think he will appreciate her company.
    Also: Liese is SUCH a cutie.

    I adopted a kitten from a shelter 12 years ago - and they actually visited unannounced about 4 weeks later. That was probably just due to the fact that this person by coincidence basically drove by my house every day on her way to and from the shelter, but nevertheless it _does_ happen.
    I have since found out that small rescue organisations can be even more demanding. When we first adopted a dog from Portugal, we had a somebody checking us and our home even _before_ the dog arrived. Yes, adopting a dog is different to adopting a cat, but I do think that in not many countries this subject is taken as seriously as in Germany. 😊

      Same happened when my sister got her dog through a Tiernothilfe organisation - she had to fill in questionnaires and they made a home visit before she even got to see the dog. And then there were several supervised visits at the dog's temporary home complete with walking the dog etc.
      But better that than giving an animal to the first "oh, how cute" person who has no idea how to care for the new pet.

      One detail he missed is that usually shelters cooperate with vets. The adoption fee usually includes free rounds of vaccinations and sterilisation if you do them at the partnered vet.
      This is to incentivise that you actually do have the cat vaxxed and fixed which is of course also in the shelter's interest.
      And assuming that a responsible pet owner would do those things anyway it actually lowers the cost of adopting a pet significantly.

    My previous cat was a similar age surprise: estimated 3 years old by the rescue vet. But at home, he grew a lot bigger and played like a kitten, and based on his behaviour he was probably more like 10 months old. That indeed meant a lot more play and activity than I had bargained for in my small apartment.
    Hope the little monster lady will charm Clyde in no time!

    Very nice. The 2 black cats I adopted from a Belgian shelter almost 2 years ago had a less stringent contract. I sent photos and updates on their life with me. Then asked if they would want me to stop. But they told me they were very happy about my follow up messages, so I keep. In contact when I have nice photos and things to relate on my 2 black lives. I was thoroughly vetted before I could adopt but the shelter only requires bot to pass on the cats to anybody before contacting them.

  • @timseguine2
    @timseguine2 5 місяців тому +1

    One thing to point out maybe: the contracts you talked about here are as far as I know legally controversial. In that it is unclear legally whether they count as purchase contracts (because they contain provisions that are typical of a purchase) despite claiming not to be purchase contracts. The legal requirements are more of the nature of "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck" rather than what they proforma claim.
    I only bring this up because if you have signed such a contract and are ever in the position where you feel like they are unfairly trying to regain possession of your pet, then you might have legal recourse. Of course usual disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

    • @rewboss
      @rewboss  5 місяців тому +1

      You can always ask a legal expert in the case of a dispute. But what's important is that the contract correctly distinguishes between "Besitz" and "Eigentum". A contract that transfers "Eigentum" to you would certainly, to my understanding, constitute a purchase contract.

    • @timseguine2
      @timseguine2 5 місяців тому +1

      @@rewboss from my understanding that is not necessarily entirely legally relevant if other aspects of the contract convey properties that would lead a reasonable individual to believe it is a purchase contract. But it apparently depends significantly about wording with respect to the conditions.
      In any case you didn't say anything wrong in my opinion, and I hope it didn't come across as criticism. I only wanted to give the message to people that if they feel like such a contract is being enforced in a manner they consider unfair, it is not as black and white as it might otherwise appear, and they should probably talk to a lawyer before complying with it.
