i hate it when people think 4 is too old, it is not even a third of the way through their life.

caledonia · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2008, 21:27:33 PM »

Oh thats a wee shame - sounded like the perfect home for them too!! I hope something else comes up for them soon!

Liz · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2008, 19:07:11 PM »

No problems here just hope they find a nice place where they can have the best of both worlds

We even arranged the furniture the same way for Bert when we moved so he had something familiar to go for

We thought ours wouldn't travel well but all did most with the help of nice little yellow pills from the vet and they slept most of the way took nearly 4 hours to move all of them to their new home and it was the hottest day of 2006 to.

Thanks! I can't believe that we had a home lined up and then they thought that 4 years old was "too old"!!!!!!!!!!! Anywho, we keep plugging away with it all!

fingers crossed you do manage to sort something out for this gorgeous duo!

Just a shame you weren't closer to Liz... she's such a star!

wharfevalley catsprotection · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2008, 18:05:02 PM »

aww thanks Liz!

I did pass on your offer to our Liz, but they really don't travel well and so we don't know if they'd react well to such a journey.

Liz · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2008, 16:29:15 PM »

I do hope things work out for them, we have no 2 footed kids to wory about just the 3 and 4 legged hooligans!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2008, 11:12:42 AM »

Aww, I do hope things work out for them soon, it is such a long time to be in rescue.

Well I can but ask! Liz is so close to them as she raised them as kittens and then they were returned to us when a baby came along sp she feels she knows them inside out!

Many thanks for your offer Liz, it is very much appriciated

We live 15 miles north of Aberdeen about 7 hours from Leeds as the crow flies

I did speak to Liz (our welfare officer and fosterer of Hector and Hamish) about the possibility of Scotland for the two and she didn't immediately say no! Where abouts in Scotland are you Liz?

It'd depend on how they travelled etc but it definately sounds like a fab home. It's also lovely to hear from someone who cares about feral cats as much as we do. That;s one of the main focus's of our branch as most other people seem to just think of them as dirty and a nusience when really they're as beautiful and fascinating as any other cat!

Anyway, I ramble on! Let me know where you live and i'll broach the subject with my Liz again xxx

Dawn F · « **Reply #8 on:** February 14, 2008, 10:09:01 AM »

that would be great - I don't think anyone could doubt the commitment Liz has to her furbabes!

caledonia · « **Reply #7 on:** February 13, 2008, 22:23:19 PM »

Oh can I really stir things up and say I am in Scotland also and getting two fur babes from Leeds soon - not too long a drive depending on where you are !!!

Liz · « **Reply #6 on:** February 13, 2008, 12:51:53 PM »

Shame you weren't closer we have the ideal place up here in Scotland - we lost our blind boy last year at the grand old age of 21 and in his last 10 months with us, moved house with his 36 siblings (mostly ferals but others with issues and not for the feinthearted including, diabetic, no tails, 3 legged and cardiomyopathy and ferals who are not for the feint hearted including our colony as noone could feed them!)

Bert mastered stairs, and 5 acres and loved to wander round the garden and put up a merry chase session if he wasn't ready to come in!

Good luck with the boys both have Scottish names to, we live very rurally and a mile and a half up a single dirt track with no major traffic in fact the other track users stop and wait for the cats to move!

hope you find a home for thse two soon x

Hi!

They are going on Top cats this week sometime. We had a lovely home lined up for them a couple of weeks ago, but the people thought that 4 might be too old???!!!! We are quite a slow re-homing centre as we carry out very stringent home visits and as this has to be a special home, we keep finding that when we do home visits, things just aren't quite right. No home is perfect, but these guys really deserve a great home!

Again, we're fighting against the tid of people just wanting kittens!

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #3 on:** February 12, 2008, 16:24:53 PM »

I can recommend getting them put up on the Top Cats - I've been fostering Harley & Quinn for CAT77 Leeds since July and have finally got an interest.

If it works out and they go to this new home I'll have space to foster for the upcoming kitten season.

Thats a long time being in rescue!
Have them been on Top cat section of Catchat...?

Hector and Hamish came into our care in May 2007 (we're the Leeds branch of Cats Protection) and are still with us at the beginning of February 2008. They need a particularly safe home as Hector is semi blind. He does not seem to mind one bit and can still go out and about, but would need to be a home well away from any busy roads, with a catflap fitted so he can always get back home! They are such beautiful ginger and white boys who are desperate to live in their own home as they are in a foster room at the moment. Please visit our website at http://adel.cats.org.uk to see them in action!

Well, after our fosterer seeing these two born in 2003 in her foster room, to taking them back into care in May 2007 when the owners had a baby, to raising £2000 to save Hector's sight and finally THEY'VE FOUND A FOREVER HOME!!!!!!!!!!

Our fosterer has very mixed feelings of course, but she hasn't a garden of her own and knows that they'll be happier without the other cats, with a garden to pootle in. It's a lovely couple who have a large house with a garden at the end of a dead end track and a stream at the end!!!!!!!!!!!
