Ela can I ask do home checks need to be done in all cases?
I was looking at getting a kitten for my mum (yes she does want 1) but it would be a surprise for her birthday. I'm asking because I sort of know the lady from our local CP and she has been in my house. She helped me out last year and loaned me a trap to catch this stray, and she knew the stray was going to my mum's and she was happy with that, so she would obviously know she is more than capable of looking after a cat and that it would be a safe environment, my mum's cats are all indoor as well.
I would like to go down the rescue root for finding a kitten but wouldn't want to ruin the surprise and thats the issue of the home check.
Hope this hasn't made you mad again lol
