I was able to miraculously enough save the mascot of Sand'z Cattery, Sarai. I want to ask what's the consensus is on perhaps putting her on show? Because nobody seems to mind Chonk, Cinco's son, partaking in them. My train of thought is that it seems unfair to just let adoptable cats from famous Petz sites rot away as part of an archive, however I also realize that it could be disrespectful to the legacy of Sand'z Cattery. If I were allowed to bring her back I'd absolutely keep the Sand'z prefix. I just don't want to let a piece of Petz fandom history fade.

Do you mean that this is someone else's pet that you've somehow ended up with (PetzPlayer?)?
There's no precedent for this I imagine... I don't think there's a clear answer.
It's sort of like you got a downloadable pet so I think I'd rename her and then show her with the Sand'z prefix... So you honour the legacy but treat her like a different, unique, individual to the original. That seems like a good compromise.

Ooh she's so cute Hunter's Moon!! But yes, how exactly did you 'save' her? Did you find her up for adoption using the Wayback Machine? If so, there may be a section with rules on what you can/can't do with petz you download from their site.

Someone archived Sand'z Cattery using the Wayback machine and managed to archive the download links for the Petz you could adopt from the site! I'm pretty sure every pet can still be adopted. It actually kind of makes me want to see all the cats she put up for download get new homes at some point. Sarai's showname is just Sand'z Sarai and I can see the point of giving her a new identity, maybe with an explanation why she just so happens to be a copy of Sarai. I'd say maybe see what Ratqueen or another staff member has to say on this issue?

Oh I see! If she's just a download, do whatever... Just check any rules on the site like Bunni says. Anyone else can also download the same cat. I think it's fairly standard for downloadable adoptions to rename them and show them as a unique individual.
