From time to time we have adults who are looking for a forever home. Our girls only have one or two litters and are retired at about 2 yo so that they can enjoy a life being pampered and spoilt. We sometimes have teenagers available that we have kept to see how they develop, especially when there are two very similar and we need to assess them when they are a little older. All teenagers and adults are sterilised, microchipped and vaccinated before they leave us and we do try to match their personalities to their prospective family. Some adults can take up to six weeks to settle into a new home and some will stroll out of the carrier and move right in, we can't predict how each will react.
It is no reflection on the new owner if they don't settle in straight away. They just need to learn to trust that they are safe. Please don't adopt an adult expecting a kitten experience. If you are prepared to spend time, perhaps weeks, winning the trust of an adult you will be rewarded with loyalty and love.
