ask picturesIs it okay to ask for pictures of kittens you've given away?

I'm giving my kittens away in two weeks. I absolutely love them - they're really precious to me. We're giving two of them to absolute strangers, but I really want to know how they'll be when they grow up. Is it okay to ask them to e-mail me pictures of them about once or twice a year or so?
Yes.Tell them its just to make sure they are being treated good or just tell them that you love them and want to see them grow up.
Yeah that'd be kinda wierd.....
i think its normal.without you they woudn't have that kitten. i guess it depends on the person your dealing with!
yes that'ss perfectly fine, u just want to see how yourbaby'ss are doing. Just ask the person who you give them to if you can see them once in a while.
Ask them when you give them away if they would be willing to send you an update now and then. If they say no, don't make a big deal about it. Or, if they never contact you don't try to seek them out.

It would be nice of them to send pictures, but they have no obligation to do so.
i think it will be fine. I mean, it's not like you're having them fill out one of those adoption questionnaires, right? And if you're really giving them away to a family who cares, they will be fine with it, it's not much of a hassle. In fact, just ask them for their email, and then a year or two later, just send them an email and casually ask for photask picturesos and news about how they are doing; again, if you are giving them away to a family who cares, they will have no problem whatsoever, I definitely wouldn't.
ehh not really,
maybe u should try to be-friend them first.
Jay:Do not give your kittens away to strangers without getting an
application and references.I do not like to shock you but I will.Unknown
people may sell these innocent lives to be tortured for medical research
and other horrible things.
Strangers may buy these kittens to be used as bait for training fighting
dogs.Please if you need to give the kittens away here is a list of some
no kill rescue groups who will promise to get your kittens good homes.
Do not let these kittens go to these people!!!
I think it would be ok to ask for one. I wouldn't mind giving you one and even more. You could ask all of them and be happy with the ones that give you the picture. You might have a lifetime friend too
yes of course it's ok.....i gave my dog's puppies away...and the new owners either called me or sent pics of the growing puppies...
Don't give your kittens to strangers!!! Too many weirdos out there.

Other than that, you can ask, but you really can't count on anything. When I adopted my fur babies from the cat rescue place inside Petsmart (Recycled Critters) i did send pics back, but I wasn't obligated to.
We have adopted cats from ask picturesother people and I have sent them photographs taken in the first week or so but none after that.

I send them the photos of the first days simply to show them that the cat is safe and healthy.

After that, I make a complete break with the people from whom we got the cat.

There is no point continuing to send photos as it may simply increase the sadness the person feels about giving up the cat and, quite frankly, they gave up all custody rights of the cat and it should be a clean break.

I think it might be appropriate for you to ask them to send you a couple of photos taken a week or so after they get the kitten home but I advise you not to ask them for any more photos after than.

You should make a clean and complete break with them - it is best for you and them.

Do not push them, in any way to send you photographs or to stay in touch with you in any other way.

If they offer, completely freely upon their own, to send you occasional photos, okay. However, if a long period should pass during which you don't hear from them, don't contact them, let them contact or not contact you.

This is based upon my experience with 26 cats over 22 years.
Why not... I ask to see the ones I have given away in person.
