We contacted an organization called Animalert, which arranges foster homes and adoptions for animals. They look at each situation and try to pick animals whose personalities might be a good match. We were recommended two options: first is a pair of male cats who already know each other, and the other is an individual male whose friend was adopted a couple of months ago.
We met with the pair (Jay and Molson a.k.a. Carrot-Top) last Saturday. We liked them. Jay was quite energetic, and a bit friendly, while Molson was quiet and a bit timid. They were great, and I could certainly imagine them in our home.
Today we met the other cat, William. I have to say, I love this cat already. There is a chemistry there that I just didn't feel with the other two. For one thing he was very friendly and playful, and seemed to like me quite a bit, for a stranger he had just met. Initially I thought my reaction could be because he looks very similar to my lost pal Floyd. There were some superficial similarities in behaviour as well, but we was quite different in personality. I can't totally explain, but I had a strong gut-feeling that this was the cat for me (us). I think we will adapt well to Mo, and she will be able to get along with him as well.
So we came home and discussed it for maybe 5 minutes. But by this point, Sir William had won me over. There was no doubt. I liked Jay and Molson, but I really liked William. We'll be contacting Animalert tomorrow to let them know. We figure it will take about 3 weeks to determine if he'll fit in here with Mowgli.
Here's a picture of William:
