How would you deal with the following scenarios?  (There are many different answers, and your answers don't have to be long).

c)  Your cat jumps up on your kitchen counter. 
d)  Your cat sharpens its claws on your couch.

Please add any additional comments about the home you would provide for your cat: 

Since we want our cats to have “forever” homes, prospective owners “try out” adult cats on a “foster-to-adopt.”  If the cat does not work out, it will be returned to us for placement in another home. 

Everyone has concerns about adopting a pet. 
If you have any concerns you would like to share or ask about, please list them here (e.g.: Will my children be allergic?  Will my other cat accept another cat?  Will my cranky neighbours be bothered by a cat digging in their flowerbed?  Will it not be the cuddly type of cat I want? etc.).
