Dergyll
Hello guys,
Due to a most positive suggestion, I just returned home bearing my new cat! Her name is Zoe and she's gray (I don't know alot about cats...)

Scroll to the bottom of the page, she's the last one.
So now I'm curious about things, here are some questions:
How long should we keep her isolated in one room? (thats what the councelor said to do)
What do cats do to show that they're hungry/sleepy/sick/need to pee?
Anybody recommend a Vet in the Hartford area of CT?
Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Sorry, but the picture and discription of her was removed a few hours ago.

Kudos to you for giving Zoe a home and choosing an adult shelter cat.
How long she stays in one room will depend on her personality and your living situation (how many people in the home, children, other cats or dogs, etc.).
And cats are always very upset when moved from one location to another - even moving to a new house or apartment with an owner they know is stressful for them.
So the key to this is to let her have a small space to chill out. You need to set up a space with a litterbox, a tray with her water and food. If that space is a laundry room or a bathroom some sort of soft bedding should be provided. If it's a bedroom she may seem to hide under a bed for a day or several. You just go in and "refresh" the stuff on the tray and scoop out the litterbox, always talking softly to her as you do it. If you can have the time to sit in the room, reading, listening to music or whatever she may come out to investigate. If she was affectionate and cuddly at the shelter she probably won't be right away in her new place.
She will let you know when she feels ready to take on other parts of the house. If she is excessively shy and hiding I would suggest you pick up a bottle of Rescue Remedy from a health food store or pharmacy. You just shake the bottle well and put three or four drops on the fur between her ears. If you can't reach her easily put the drops on a small cloth and put it under the bed. Use the drops LAVISHLY. They will help her achieve a good emotional blance and prepare her for moving on in her new home.
Good luck with her. Let me know how it goes.

You could do a collage or a painting of something like a city view. If you're ever seen the 'view' out the window of the 'Seattle apartment' on 'Frasier,' it was all done with set design; I've read that there WAS no such view in Seattle. But it looks real, doesn't it?? All you'd need would be a rectangular stretched canvas. Tall buildings would be super easy to paint; just tall rectangles with bright rectangles or squares for windows. Have fun!
