I am posting this on behalf of Chris who is a lovely lady who has through no fault of her own had to choose to rehome her cats.. Its a very sad story and although she isnt in our area i have said i will try and help with some direct rehoming.. Pls read their story.. Anyone interested pls get in touch with Chris but pls let me know as well.
These two are well loved and its a gret shame that they are up for rehoming.
Thank you for your advice on Monday about re-homing Diesal and Splodge and for agreeing to put the details onto the website. I have attached a little bit about Splodge and Diesal and photographs to this email. I am happy for my contact details to be included in the written detail..
My name is Chris . I have very recently moved to Broadstairs and would like to re-home two lovely family cats which we brought with us in difficult circumstances. These two beautiful cats ( both neutered male and female, sister and brother are just 6 years old). One is a female tortoiseshell (Splodge)and the other a male mackerel tabby (Diesal). We took them as kittens for my local Cats Protection in Slough. I would like some help in re-homing them both together if possible.
The house we lived in Farnborough, Hampshire, backed onto a golf course and the cats have been used to having access in and out of the house at all times onto a safe and quiet road, and a golf course. Originally when we purchased the property in Broadstairs, my son was to take the cats with him in Farnborough to the flat he was going to rent. Unfortunately, this flat fell through and he was forced at the last minute to get a flat without the agreement to have pets. As our house sale progressed I did try and re-house the cats in the immediate local area without success. So, in a quandry, I decided to bring them with me. This has been a sad mistake as we live on a main road with no garden at all and the cats need more that we can currently offer them. The house in Broadstairs only has a back yard and is situated on a main road, it is also in the process of being renovated – all of which they are not used to!!
I love my cats and will be really sad to let them go but they are both loving and friendly cats with a happy disposition, I am currently in the situation where I am still keeping them indoors (they have been indoors 3 weeks now) as we have only recently moved and would love to find a family who wants two cats, who during the daytime can give them free access onto a garden or green fields and away from a main road. I am terrified they will be killed on the road outside our new house. This house is not safe or appropriate for them and now I also have to travel a lot and stay away from home so I am really concerned that they will be lonely and unhappy cats. Splodge is the female tortoiseshell and she is a funny little girl. She is affectionate and likes to be petted and brushed and has the odd mad moment where she is still very kitten like and still likes you to play games with her. Diesal is the man of the house and is finding it particularly difficult to be kept indoors. He is also an affectionate cat, and likes to eat the buttons on shirts (when someone is wearing them of course) and puts his paw out to let you know he wants your attention..... neither of the cats have ever bitten anyone or been vicious. Both have been microchipped and both are cat lit trained. They have however, been used to going outside, but we have not had any problems since moving to Broadstairs with using the cat lit box as they were originally trained to use these from kittens. Neither cat has ever been destructive although they are both a bit nervous at first around strangers and currently as they are in strange surroundings they are also a little jumpy.
Both cats are not up to date with vac but will be done by Chris if someone wishes to rehome them, they are both chipped and of course neutered.
Please let me know what I can do to re-home and allow these two lovely pussy cats to have a decent and happy life with attention, love and some space to explore safely.

I work way from home now and so will promise to get back to you at the first opportunity as I am working away for the next few weeks and will only be back at weekends. My husband has taken a job on the Isle of Sheppey and is away during the daytime from 7 until 6 now so it just seems so sad that they will be left alone all day.
