would have offered but a bit full here too at the mo!

wait till you've been with us for a while :rofl: :rofl:

I`m trying not to look to much like mad kitten lady at the mo Angie, do have house on market! Trying to "hide" 5 kittens today was a bit of a headache, luckily two went to sleep under a blanket to make it only look like £! :rofl: Happily the people already have a cat so a bit sympathic towards the situation but the chickens did raise an eyebrow ;) Thank god the older cats can go out and "disappear" that way.

When I move . . .

Poor little lad, he must be so confused and upset especially at his age.

Glad you found someone to have him, would have offered but a bit full here too at the mo!

was quite sharp with her. She said a neighbour told her just to put him out but she thought it was cruel as he didn't go out much any more  :Crazy:

no donation, a few pouches of jelly and the carrier with no paper or bedding inside.


So at 18, he is going to be able to look after himself isn't he. The of course the neighbour will be moaning because he is hanging around hers pleading to be fed and she will let him starve, because cats can cope in the big wide world.

I would have been slightly more than sharp with her I am afraid, I would have killed her!  :evillaugh: One less idiotic human to worry about then, oh and I would have sorted the neighbour as well!  :censored:

It is throw away remarks like the stupid neighbours that leads to the dumping of cats.

We don't stand a chance do we?

Well, yes we do, there are quite a few of us and we are the more determined  >:(

So now, what's happening with this little fella?

At least he is safe - I dont understand the people who are giving their cats up due to moving or illness and hardly give anything - what else are they doing to do with it?

Jill has him now.

She phoned back at 5 and i went to fetch with murder on my mind.
got there, house is almost empty, doors open. her sitting on floor, cat in carrier on her knee bawling her eyes out.

was quite sharp with her. She said a neighbour told her just to put him out but she thought it was cruel as he didn't go out much any more  :Crazy:

It really is amazing how many people don't plan very well when they emigrate - and how there are certain times of the year when loads of people seem to emigrate. Fingers crossed for this little one, I suppose it is something that they rang a rescue rather than a vet.

sounds like a load of  :censored: to me - who on earth includes a call to local cat rescue on the day they emigrate :shocked:

unless the intention was to ditch him and there was a twinge of conscience at the last

Umm probably not right away.. what's the story, why do you need to rehome?

I'm emigrating

When?

Today

(long silence :Crazy:) umm I don't think theres much we can do as we are full up. Why did you leave it so late?

I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could

Do you have no friends that can look after him?

No.

OK, tell me a bit more about him. How old is he?

He's 18.

Years? or months?

Years.

OK, what colour is  he,   whats his name.

Black and white felix called Fluffy.

I guess he's long haired then...

Well no, he's...... well sort of long haired....

OK. Well try the other rescues and phone back in a couple of hours. I'll make some enquiries.....



Looking at it a good way, perhaps she was hoping he would die before she left? ...... >:( >:( ... or of course it could be the (not usual but quite a lot of the time) bull.


Any offers in or around Coventry? Golden  Oldie scheme applies.
