I will move this to 'sorted' section now

Let's keep everything crossed this works out superbly well for Jay-Jay. Well done Mr and Mrs Shafiq.

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #43 on:** August 02, 2014, 22:23:57 PM »

That is great news, hurrah for the Shafiqs and JayJay!!

sheilarose · « **Reply #42 on:** August 02, 2014, 21:02:26 PM »

I hope he will adapt, but frankly, this was his last chance so I'm just ecstatic that the Shafiqs are willing to take him on, his only other option was a rescue cage or, God forbid, being abandoned again.

Liz · « **Reply #41 on:** August 02, 2014, 17:32:35 PM »

They can and do adapt I have ferals who have shown no interest in going back out as do a couple of the domestics they love life inside

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #40 on:** August 02, 2014, 15:33:15 PM »

Yes you are right about him going back but once a cat that goes outside age doent stop them wanting too!

Kocka was 19 when we moved but her urge to go out never stopped despite her being quite ill. We went on holiday to Devon a month before and she went out most days over Chrissy and New Year on a lead!

I think it was the happiest she had been for ages.

sheilarose · « **Reply #39 on:** August 02, 2014, 15:08:21 PM »

I think he'll be just fine indoors, but the Shafiqs only live 100 yards from his old home so if he is let out too soon he'll just keep going back there. If they keep him indoors for the summer it's feasible he'll be allowed out once he's attached himself to the family, and Elaine will stop providing food so he should learn where his bread is buttered.

At 17/18 years old, though I think he'll adapt very happily to the indoor life

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #38 on:** August 02, 2014, 13:56:39 PM »

Just a thought, will he be OK as an indoor only cat?

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #37 on:** August 02, 2014, 10:54:11 AM »

Congrats on your efforts Sheila

It was a big ask of Mr & Mrs S at JJ's age but everything crossed that all goes to plan on their return from hols.

Hopefully this pic will upload OK. You asked ages ago but better late than never. He looks astonishingly clean for a boy living rough

pappilon · « **Reply #36 on:** August 02, 2014, 04:07:43 AM »

Aww Sheila, great news

Well done .

I wish Mister JayJay a very long and happy life with Shafiqs. The thought of him having a nice, warm home this winter is just wonderful

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #35 on:** August 01, 2014, 22:18:17 PM »

Brilliant

sheilarose · « **Reply #34 on:** August 01, 2014, 20:48:55 PM »

Well it seems Mrs Shafiq has come through

JayJay will be going to the Shafiqs at the end of this month. when they get back from their hols

I'm utterly delighted, they are such gentle, generous folk and although Mister Jay Jay has limited stay left this side of the Bridge they have discussed his needs and decided he will be an indoor cat from now on, and has a new sister (also B&W) to look forward to.

I'm raising a glass tonight, to good neighbours, selfless generosity and a little tiny bit of brass neck from your loyal servant.

Fingers crossed, he's not quite there yet but I've changed the title of this thread with an optimistic heart

SamMewl · « **Reply #33 on:** July 24, 2014, 16:53:37 PM »

every time I see this updated I open with baited breath. Come on Shafiq the suspense hurts!!!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #32 on:** July 23, 2014, 06:48:42 AM »

Vibes aplenty coming from me. C'mon Shafiq.

sheilarose · « **Reply #31 on:** July 23, 2014, 05:45:41 AM »

Elaine called yesterday, she picked up a message that Shafiq wants to go and meet JayJay

Keep them Purrs vibes coming!

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #30 on:** July 16, 2014, 15:36:19 PM »

I do hope that Mrs Shafiq comes through for JayJay!

sheilarose · « **Reply #29 on:** July 16, 2014, 15:27:14 PM »

Wheels are in motion, everything crossed.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #28 on:** July 14, 2014, 18:00:05 PM »

C'mon Mrs Shafiq - you sound such a lovely lady to even consider it.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #27 on:** July 13, 2014, 11:01:15 AM »

That would be great

pappilon · « **Reply #26 on:** July 13, 2014, 04:25:39 AM »

Finger crossed

sheilarose · « **Reply #25 on:** July 13, 2014, 01:06:01 AM »

Shafiq
at no. 4 has been talking to his wife about taking JayJay in, it's looking promising!

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #24 on:** July 12, 2014, 21:50:21 PM »

I hope you had a successful day.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #23 on:** July 10, 2014, 05:54:54 AM »

Truly good luck Sheila x

pappilon · « **Reply #22 on:** July 10, 2014, 04:30:17 AM »

Good luck, Sheila.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #21 on:** July 10, 2014, 00:34:03 AM »

good luck

sheilarose · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2014, 23:01:46 PM »

I'm on strike tomorrow, and despite listing a small fortune in wages hope to spend the day in pursuit of a home for JayJay

wish me luck.

SamMewl · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2014, 22:41:44 PM »

he looks super. will keep everything crossed. i'm sure if any one in the market for a cat met him they would be truely wooed

sheilarose · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2014, 15:27:52 PM »

If my attempts here fail I'll take you up on that, Pav, thank you. Ive asked one of the locals if he would consider giving JayJay a home, as I know he is looking for a cat, but he has a young son who really needs a younger cat with some longevity, but they're thinking it through over the weekend.

Fingers crossed.

pappilon · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2014, 13:56:53 PM »

How about putting him on a rescue waiting list? I could try Mayhew if you like

sheilarose · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2014, 11:05:40 AM »

Her BF is in Brighton so she's already spending a lot of her time there, she's hoping to move permanently next year so he's ok for now, so he's not an emergency case, but it's my opinion that he needs to be seen by a vet for his potential HT issues sooner rather than later.

If I get the chance next week to pop him in for blood tests I will, but I've got quite a lot on myself at the moment, not to mention a possible transport run next Monday

pappilon · « **Reply #15 on:** July 06, 2014, 05:16:57 AM »

Aww he does look a bit older there

When is Elaine moving?

Lyn (Slugsta) · « **Reply #14 on:** July 05, 2014, 18:36:47 PM »

He looks a real sweetheart! It breaks my heart to think of him not finding a lovely home - but Mr S has said a very firm 'no'

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #13 on:** July 05, 2014, 16:32:36 PM »

He looks older there but still gorgeous

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #12 on:** July 05, 2014, 13:24:49 PM »

Oh Sheila - I can see why you were so taken with him. Breaks my heart to think he's fallen on hard times. Poor little soul.

sheilarose · « **Reply #11 on:** July 05, 2014, 08:15:30 AM »

Here's another one

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #10 on:** July 04, 2014, 23:17:11 PM »

Wow he also must have been looked after well

sheilarose · « **Reply #9 on:** July 04, 2014, 23:13:29 PM »

I'm astonished as to his lively nature, great teeth and energy, but Elaine has lived next door for 20 years and remembers this cat being there for the majority of her occupancy, so I've no reason to doubt. Some folk just look great when they're old I guess

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #8 on:** July 04, 2014, 23:02:00 PM »

he is lovely and agree with Pav, he doesnt look that old.......................positivelt kittenlike lol

pappilon · « **Reply #7 on:** July 04, 2014, 22:25:35 PM »

Aww JJ is lovely

He doesn't look that old, shame on the family for leaving him behind

I wish I could help , I love oldies but he wont like it here with Mr Jingles

Sheila, bless you for trying to help him

sheilarose · « **Reply #6 on:** July 04, 2014, 21:21:43 PM »

Photo! I took JJ a catnip toy for our photo session, erm he quite liked it!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/16861371@N06/14550767046/

if anyone can tinypic this, or otherwise display his gorgeousness, I'd be obliged. My pooter has picked up some issues that prevents me from posting tinypic images, thanks
