we had a home visit and it ws fine, they just looked at it from a safety point of view and suggested moving certain lovely ornaments,they aslo like to look at the garden and see tat there is room to play for the cat.

That's good, I was just about to say we had a homecheck years ago and they were far more interested in the garden and the general area than they were in the state of my home.

Before we adopted Mary two years ago from Rspca, we didn't know what to expect either as we had never had a rescue pet.
All they basically did was had a look around the garden, just checking that there wasn't any dangerous things left lying around, and made sure the garden was secure, also they suggested we get a cat flap and asked where Mary would sleep/eat etc, and asked a few questions about medical treatment/vet visits etc.

I hope your home visit goes well and you can take your girl home.

Congrats on finding a new cat! The homecheck isn't really a big deal, they'll just have a chat and make sure there's nothing that would cause a cat problem. A she'll be indoors they'll probably check how secure your windows are and things, suggest you put ornaments and things in other places etc. Try not to worry!

thanks for the replies everyone

will they really need to check the garden?? i mean the cat will never be out there so i don`t see what difference it makes (our garden looks like a bomb just went off since we`ve just had a conservatory built and the builders left things everywhere but it`s been too wet to get out and clean it :S)

typically the woman rang yesterday to arrange a visit and have a chat but i was in the middle of london and it was soooo noisy so now have to hope she rings tonight

That's a good point, maybe not. We had our house check years ago, before anyone really thought of keeping cats indoors permanently. I shouldn't think they'd be worried by a temporary bit of builder's rubble anyway, and they'll be impressed by your lovely new conservatory for the cat to sit in.

i had the home vivist, she basically just came in and explained the procedure so all that worrying over nothing!

we got a phone call on friday to say that the cat had taken an eye infection and we`d have to wait until until today so that she could see the vet, longest weekend of my life (made shorter by visits to her of course).

just got a phone call and she`s had the all clear and is booked to come home with us on friday, i can`t tell you how excited i am thanks for all the advice!!
