Gill, the new home is a friend who I've had for 17 years. She has two indoor only boys already that are a little refined in age. They're both quite easy going. I trust this lady to care for the boy completely; she even cared for Carrie and Jack when I went away for a long weekend with my parents many years ago. What else would you like to know?
(PS: We've already established when I'm recovered from the bug I'd be going round to see how the lad's settling in and I have a standard adoption form in case anything doesn't work out.)
