About 'different types of kittens'|Book Entry 5: 1955 A Cloud of a Different Type








Maybe               a               feral               cat               found               you               and               had               her               litter               of               kittens               in               your               shed.

Maybe               you               felt               bad               for               your               neighbor               and               took               the               kittens               they               found.

Perhaps               your               cat               was               accidently               bred               because               you               didn't               have               her               spayed               soon               enough.

Whatever               the               case               may               be,               you               now               have               kittens               that               you               need               to               find               homes               for.

Many               people               think               that               finding               homes               for               kittens               is               easy.

Some               people               give               kittens               away               for               free               to               anyone               who               will               take               them.

Others               don't               even               bother               to               wait               and               make               sure               that               people               actually               came               and               got               them.

Still               others               say               that               it               is               the               animal               shelter's               responsibility               to               find               homes               for               pets               so               they               drop               them               off               there.

If               you               must               choose               one               of               the               three               options               listed               above,               please               take               your               kittens               to               the               shelter.

However,               if               you               would               like               to               find               good               homes               for               the               kittens               on               your               own,               please               read               on.
               Spreading               the               Word
               It               would               be               impossible               for               you               to               find               homes               for               kittens               that               no               one               knows               about.

Yet               many               people               don't               realize               that               they               need               to               advertise               their               available               kittens               in               some               form.

You               can               place               an               ad               in               the               newspaper,               put               up               a               small               poster               at               your               local               vet's               office,               create               an               online               ad,               or               advertise               in               a               number               of               other               places.

When               deciding               where               to               place               an               ad,               I               recommend               you               consider               how               many               people               will               actually               view               the               ad               where               you               place               it.

When               I               recently               helped               some               friends               of               mine               adopt               out               some               feral               kittens               they               found,               they               were               initially               spreading               the               word               by               letting               people               at               work               know               that               they               had               kittens               available.

This               can               be               a               good               method,               but               if               you               work               in               a               small               office,               you're               not               really               reaching               a               lot               of               people.

If               you               put               your               ad               up               at               the               vet's               office,               everyone               there               will               pretty               much               already               have               at               least               one               pet               (otherwise               they               wouldn't               be               there).

The               newspaper               audience               will               largely               depend               on               which               newspaper               you               place               your               ad               in,               as               will               your               online               audience.

In               helping               my               friends               rehome               their               kittens,               I               went               the               online               route.

Online               ads               are               generally               free               and               the               ads               reach               a               larger               population               (not               just               people               in               your               local               area).

I               choose               Petfinder               classifieds               and               Craigslist.

Petfinder               unfortunately               didn't               bring               many               inquiries,               but               I               would               recommend               trying               them               anyway.

Craigslist               brought               in               the               most               inquiries               because               I               was               able               to               put               photos               up               with               the               ad.

All               of               our               adopters               came               from               Craigslist.

Some               people               like               Craigslist,               some               people               don't.

It               doesn't               really               matter               which               sites               you               use,               so               long               as               you               somehow               reach               enough               people               so               that               your               kittens               find               adopters.

Remember               that               spreading               the               word               about               your               available               kittens               is               the               most               important               step               in               the               adoption               process.

You               aren't               going               to               find               any               adopters               if               you               don't               seek               them               out.
               Charging               an               Adoption               Fee
               While               it               is               very               common               to               see               people               offering               free               kittens,               I               would               like               to               take               a               moment               to               discourage               you               from               doing               this.

Many               people               with               good               intentions               want               to               give               the               kittens               they               found               away               for               free.

My               friends               were               initially               convinced               that               because               they               found               the               kittens               and               therefore               got               them               for               free,               they               should               not               charge               an               adoption               fee.

However,               you               have               to               remember               that               not               all               people               have               good               intentions.

There               are               bunchers               who               will               take               your               free               kittens               and               sell               them               to               labratories.

There               are               people               who               will               torture               kittens               and               they're               more               likely               to               take               a               free               one               than               pay               for               it.

There               are               even               collectors               to               watch               out               for,               who               have               so               many               cats               that               they               cannot               realistically               care               for               all               of               them.

While               charging               an               adoption               fee               doesn't               guarantee               a               good               home,               it               certainly               helps               weed               out               certain               types               of               people.

I               understand               however               that               some               people               don't               really               want               to               take               any               money               for               the               kittens               they               rescued,               so               I'll               offer               a               few               alternatives.

If               you               don't               feel               right               taking               an               adoption               fee               because               you               are               not               a               rescue               or               shelter,               you               might               consider               donating               the               adoption               fee               to               a               rescue               or               shelter.

If               you're               going               to               have               the               kittens               spayed/neutered               and               vaccinated               before               adoption,               you               may               want               to               make               the               adoption               fee               a               reimbursement               for               those               services               (if               you               do               this               however,               be               careful               that               your               adoption               fee               does               not               end               up               being               too               high,               otherwise               you               may               find               it               hard               to               interest               any               adopters               in               your               kittens).

My               friends               were               very               uncomfortable               actually               charging               people               for               the               kittens               they               had               rescued.

Rather               than               asking               for               a               donation               or               any               reimbursement,               they               told               the               adopters               that               there               would               be               a               specified               adoption               fee.

However,               at               the               time               of               the               adoption               they               told               adopters               they               would               not               accept               an               adoption               fee.

This               way,               they               ended               up               with               adopters               who               were               willing               to               pay               the               fee,               but               they               didn't               actually               have               to               receive               the               adoption               fee               to               know               that               the               kittens               went               to               good               homes.

This               is               something               you               might               consider               doing               if               you               are               dead               set               on               offering               your               kittens               for               free.
               Spay               and               Neuter
               If               you've               ever               adopted               a               cat               or               kitten               from               an               animal               shelter,               your               pet               probably               came               to               you               spayed/neutered.

While               not               everyone               who               adopts               out               kittens               on               their               own               has               them               altered,               I               would               highly               recommend               it               in               most               cases.

Even               if               an               adopter               agrees               to               spay               or               neuter               the               kitten               in               the               future,               you               can't               be               sure               that               they'll               have               it               done.

If               the               kitten               later               escapes,               perhaps               it               will               once               again               be               adding               to               the               homeless               cat               population.

There               are               low               cost               spay/neuter               clinics               out               there               to               help               you               out.

Ask               your               local               shelter               or               your               local               cat               rescue               for               recommendations.

If               you               have               a               trap-neuter-release               (TNR)               program               near               you               and               you               rescued               feral               kittens,               you               may               be               able               to               get               them               fixed               at               an               extreme               discount               or               possibly               even               for               free.

If               for               some               reason               you               are               unable               to               have               the               kittens               altered               prior               to               adoption,               you               might               want               to               ask               for               a               deposit               that               you               will               return               to               the               adopter               once               they               bring               you               proof               that               they               have               had               the               kitten               altered.

If               you               are               adopting               them               out               right               at               8               weeks               of               age,               you               may               not               be               able               to               have               them               fixed               at               the               time               of               adoption.

If               at               all               possible               however,               it               is               best               to               have               adopters               wait               until               you               can               have               the               kittens               altered               to               ensure               that               your               kittens               do               not               end               up               contributing               to               the               cat               overpopulation               problem.
               Do               You               Need               an               Adoption               Application?
               So               now               that               you've               advertised               your               kittens,               decided               on               an               adoption               fee,               and               have               had               them               spayed/neutered,               you               need               a               way               to               screen               potential               adopters.

You               should               be               receiving               a               fair               amount               of               emails               each               day               regarding               the               kittens               (or               phone               calls,               depending               on               what               types               of               ads               you               decided               to               place).

When               I               helped               my               friends               adopt               out               their               exceptionally               cute               feral               kittens,               I               received               approximately               20               emails               per               day.

Due               to               the               volume               of               emails,               I               decided               to               go               with               using               an               adoption               application.

This               way               everyone               got               the               exact               same               questions,               I               didn't               have               to               worry               about               forgetting               to               ask               anything,               and               it               was               easy               to               keep               things               in               order.

If               you've               never               volunteered               with               an               animal               rescue               before               (or               maybe               even               if               you               have),               I               would               highly               recommend               asking               a               rescue               if               you               could               borrow               their               adoption               application               so               that               you               can               see               what               types               of               questions               you               want               to               ask.

Not               everyone               will               want               to               ask               the               same               questions,               so               keep               in               mind               that               you               can               change               any               application               that               you               find               to               suit               your               needs.

If               you               would               rather               be               more               personal               and               just               talk               to               each               adopter               individually               through               email               or               by               phone,               that               can               work               too.

Remember               that               you'll               want               to               have               some               initial               screening               process               so               that               you               won't               end               up               turning               people               away               when               they               come               by               to               meet               the               kittens,               wasting               their               time               and               yours.

How               you               want               to               do               that               screening               however,               is               completely               up               to               you.

You               certainly               aren't               obligated               to               use               an               adoption               application.
               How               Do               You               Decide               Who               Can               Adopt?
               Everyone               has               their               own               idea               of               what               a               good               home               for               a               kitten               actually               is.

If               I               give               you               my               list               of               criteria               for               a               good               adopter,               it               might               not               match               your               list.

However,               there               are               a               few               important               things               that               you'll               want               to               consider               your               viewpoints               on               before               you               decide               who               can               adopt               and               who               cannot.

How               do               you               feel               about               homes               with               kids?

Is               it               okay               if               the               family               adopting               has               young               children?

What               if               the               kitten               will               be               a               child's               pet?

Is               it               okay               if               someone               wants               to               adopt               just               one               kitten               or               will               you               only               adopt               them               out               in               pairs?

How               much               money               are               the               adopters               actually               willing               to               spend               on               the               kitten?

Keep               in               mind               that               this               is               far               different               from               how               much               money               they               actually               make.

Some               people               make               a               lot               of               money,               but               wouldn't               spend               more               than               $100               at               the               vet               should               something               go               wrong.

Will               you               require               that               adopters               already               have               a               vet               and               can               provide               references?

If               so,               what               about               adopters               who               have               never               owned               a               pet               before?

Would               you               adopt               to               someone               who               would               keep               the               kitten               outside?

What               if               the               kitten               was               only               outside               sometimes?

If               the               adopter               wanted               to               declaw               the               kitten,               would               that               be               acceptable?

If               not,               what               if               the               adopter               told               you               that               they               were               unsure               about               declawing?

Keep               in               mind               that               there               are               several               declawing               references               online               that               you               could               show               adopters.

Many               people               are               uninformed               about               what               declawing               actually               is,               so               they               may               require               a               bit               of               education.

Would               you               adopt               out               the               kittens               to               someone               living               in               an               apartment,               or               only               to               someone               who               owned               their               home?

Will               you               take               a               chance               if               someone               says               they               might               have               allergies?

Would               you               adopt               to               someone               who               previously               surrendered               a               pet               to               a               shelter?

Even               if               the               circumstances               couldn't               have               been               avoided?

All               of               these               questions               are               things               that               you               should               think               about.

If               it               is               important               to               you               that               the               adopter               does               not               declaw               their               cat,               make               sure               that               you               find               out               their               views               on               declawing.

If               it               is               important               to               you               that               adopters               not               have               small               children,               say               so               in               your               ads               so               that               those               with               small               children               will               not               waste               their               time               and               yours               by               applying               to               adopt               your               kittens.

Remember               that               no               one               can               create               your               criteria               for               you.

What               is               very               important               to               one               person               might               not               be               important               at               all               to               the               next               person.

Make               sure               that               you               can               live               with               the               criteria               you               choose               so               that               you               ensure               the               kittens               go               to               good               homes.
               Basically,               that's               all               there               is               to               it.

Get               the               word               out               there               about               your               available               kittens,               work               out               what               you'll               charge               (if               anything)               for               an               adoption               fee,               decide               if               you               will               have               the               kittens               altered               before               adoption,               screen               adopters,               and               then               make               your               decision(s).

If               you               follow               those               basic               steps,               you               should               be               able               to               adopt               out               your               kittens               in               a               reasonable               amount               of               time               (depending               on               your               adoption               criteria               and               adoption               fee).

Now               for               a               few               final               words               of               advice...

Remember               to               save               contact               information               for               all               potential               adopters               until               the               kittens               are               actually               in               their               new               homes.

Even               the               best               adopters               might               fall               through               for               one               reason               or               another               (a               family               emergency,               a               friend               giving               them               a               kitten               for               a               gift,               etc.)               Don't               give               up               hope               and               lower               your               standards               too               quickly,               it               may               take               awhile               for               you               to               find               good               adopters.

However,               you               must               also               remember               not               to               have               unrealistic               expectations.

If               you               spent               $5,000               last               year               at               the               vet               to               save               your               cat's               life,               that               is               great.

If               you're               going               to               turn               down               anyone               who               wouldn't               spend               $5,000               should               a               veterinary               emergency               arise,               you'll               probably               end               up               keeping               those               kittens.

Also,               although               you'd               love               to               hear               all               about               your               rescued               kittens               in               their               new               homes,               you'll               want               to               be               careful               not               to               scare               people               off.

Remember               that               you               are               adopting               out               the               kittens,               not               seeking               custody               agreements.

You               might               want               to               visit               the               kittens               once               a               month               for               a               year               to               check               up               on               them,               but               realistically,               even               the               best               adopters               aren't               going               to               want               that               much               invasion               of               their               privacy.

My               last               piece               of               advice               is               to               remember               that               kittens               are               easier               to               adopt               out               than               cats.

Once               kittens               reach               about               4               months               of               age,               they               are               much               more               difficult               to               adopt               out.

Adopt               out               your               kittens               while               they               are               still               cute               young               kittens               and               you               will               receive               a               good               number               of               inquiries               and               potential               adopters.

If               you               follow               this               guide,               you               should               have               no               problem               adopting               out               kittens               on               your               own.
