Q&A: How can you screen adoptees? Need help from rescue people?

Question by MIka: How can you screen adoptees? Need help from rescue people?
I rescued a cat, and no rescue groups are willing to help me (they are overcrowded). ANyway the cat will be spayed on Oct 30. She just had her vaccines as well. All that from my own pocket. I don’t want to keep her. I already have 2 cats.
But I want to get her adopted to a good home (she is a sweetie and she deserves the best). So the vet will help me (flyers) and I will probably post an ad on petfinder, make a movie as well….
I will ask for $ 80 or $ 100 as adoption fee (to cover the vaccines and some of the spaying cost) also to eliminate non serious people.

But how do I know the people who will adopt her are good people?

PLEASE rescue people, give me some tips! how do you screen the people before they adopt your cats?
serious answers only.

Also she will be ready for adoption after Oct 30 (spaying) and I will probably wait until Halloween is over.

First feel them out, use your instincts, you can often tell if someone is strange or unfit just by listening to them. Next set-up a meeting at their house ( don’t go alone), see what their place looks like. Also you could ask them to fill out an adoption questionarre with basic questions about how they plan to care for the cat, what they know about cats, and if they can afford care for her. This process may scare some people off, but the good cat owners will understand why you are so careful. Definately use petfinder, it is a great resource. Good luck.
