Rosie is an 11 year old seal bi-coloured Ragdoll. She is neutered. Rosie is seeking a new home, becsue her owner is emigrating and feels that it is unfair toput her through the upheaval involved in taking her.
Rosie is an affectionate Ragdoll, who has been very well loved and cared for. She is used to living with dogs and has had access to a safe garden. She is not used to young children.
Rosie does have a couple of health problems, but these are easily managed and do not affect her quality of life at all:
Smal intestinal bacteria over growth: Rosie was diagnosed with this when she was 6 years old, after bouts of diarrhoea. She takes daily medication for this, which controls it succesfully. She takes her tablet happily and it can be easily administered by one person on their own.
Mega oesophagus: If Rosie eats her food too fast, then she can be prone to vomiting it straight back up. This is a problem that is not unusal in cats and does not cause an issue at all. Her owner feeds her on a washable floor , so any vomiting is easily cleaned up.
Vaccine allergy: Rosie is allergic to vaccination and it has in the past caused a severe reaction.
Rosie must not be vaccinated. This is only a problem with regards to cattery accomodation. Rosie will need to be cared for in her own home, when her new owners go away.
We understand that this may all seem very daunting, but Rosie's health problems are minor, can be suffered by any cat and they are easily dealt with.
Due to her age, we have asked Rosie's owner to have a health check and a geriatirc blood profiling carried out to check that she is healthy in all other areas.
Rosie needs a new home where there are no children under 12 years, with a family who can manage her intestinal problems and administer her medication daily. She would appreciate access to a secure garden.
Rosie is an older cat and we know from experience that her age and her long term health issues will be a barrier to finding a new family for her. It is going to take someone very special to step forward and offer her the love and commitment she needs. That person will be rewarded many times over though, with a friendly, affectionate Raggie companion, who has so much more love still to give. Rosie deserves the same chance of a new loving family as the younger Ragdolls we work with.
If you can give this little lady a home, or would like to chat more about her needs and the long term support the UKRCC will offer her new owners, then please call us on 0870 766 9823 or email us indicating your interest in Rosie in the subject box.
