Thanks folks for replying to my ad. Getting a little worried now as time is progressing and we will be moving late November. Christine, we are in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. Desley I took Cleo on from a neighbour back in 1990 - 1992, she was a big kitten back then so I can only count from around that time, so 16 - 18? It would be a really awful to have to take her to a shelter for her twighlight years when she should be relaxing and enjoying her garden. I am worried that iif I do take her to a shelter they may not rehome her as she is old. Please let me know what you all think?
