I myself have 2 cats (from cats protection) and a dog (from RACR – small rescue based in Nottingamshire) The dog was the easier adoption as I got her through the site so therefore my homecheck was already valid and I was able to keep her for 3 weeks before making a final decision to make sure she got along with the cats and children.
