Re: new owner keeps putting off collecting!!!

I would tell her that this is the last time she can rearrange before you'll have to let the kitten go to someone else.

Her reasons may be valid but you just can't tell.

Re: new owner keeps putting off collecting!!!

I would have had enough by now. The person doesn't seem very stable, and I would constantly be worrying about what kind of life one of my babies was living! 5 weeks is a long time.

Aww sweet but try not to get too attached unless you do want to keep her...

Re: new owner keeps putting off collecting!!!

I think you've done the right thing and if she comes on Monday talk to her to find out whether you think she's a suitable new owner for your baby, if you're not happy give her the deposit back and either keep her or let the other family have her.

Re: new owner keeps putting off collecting!!!

Surely the new owner could have made other arrangements and tried a little harder to get her?
Anyway, sounds like you wanna keep her

Re: new owner keeps putting off collecting!!!

I think you have given her enough chances - no matter what the problem she could have asked a friend to take her to collect the kit if her car had broken down rather than let you down again. In this instance I would refund the deposit and see if the other family you liked still want her. Five weeks is a long time to hold onto a kitten once it has been chosen and gone past its 13 weeks.

Re: new owner keeps putting off collecting!!!

Moving house... that's fair enough! Always a really stressful time.

Car troubles? Seems a silly excuse.

If my car broke down, I'd find someone else to drive me!!!
