Skim read to see about introducing cats to each other (and in the hopes that I will get my first cat as an adult). Some of the stuff in here is kind of obvious if I'm honest, but I can see the usefulness.

This is a perfect companion to those who wish to have a rescue cat.
They do need extra love, care and patience. But it is totally worth having this little furry soul into your life.
