I wish you were closer; I'd think about taking Smudge. We do have one cat already but she's always been interested in neighborhood cats, in a curious, friendly way. If Smudge were game, Madison might be an eventual buddy. Not sure about crossing the border with an animal, either. How old is Smudge?
Just breaking in to say that crossing the border with a cat is no big deal -- my late cat and I drove back and forth from Toronto to the states many, many times. If you're driving, all you need is a rabies vaccination certificate, and I've never once had anyone actually ask to see it. If you're flying, you need a health certificate from a vet issued within I think ten days of departure certifying that the animal is fit to fly -- that's true for flying within the States as well, it doesn't have to do with crossing the border. The one thing to be careful of is, weirdly, cat food. It's simplest not to try crossing the border with pet food in the car at all, but if you do, crossing into the States, you want food that was imported from the States originally, and it should be in its official bag that says so, not in tupperware or something.
Ratherastory, sorry I'm full up on cats and too far away. I hope Smudge finds a good home!
Smudge is 13 or 14, near as any of us can tell. I have no exact birth records or anything for him. He did get along (sort of) with my other cats. Mostly they just avoided each other when the space was big enough to accommodate that sort of thing.
