This is origionally from Catsey and the poster is in the North West...
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum and am looking for some help.
A relative of mine has 2 older cats - one being 12 the other older I think, that are due to be PTS on Wednesday. The reason for this is the both of them continually spray even though they have both been neutered. They have been back and forth to the vets and tried various different methods to stop them spraying but nothing works. It's now the vets suggestion that they be PTS as they are old and if they go into rescue will probably end up being brought back over and over for the same reason.
My relative has thought this through for the last two years, she now has an 18 month old baby and one on the way and the cats have even been spraying the pram. She is totally heartbroken that is has come to this but doesn't want them to be put through the stress of possibly being re-homed again and again. I would love to take them on but due to having a house rabbit, a lizard and fish it's not possible. I really wish it was.
I'm trying to find someone who would take them on (probably seperate as they're not exactly the best of friends) that is aware of the problem and is ok with having to clean up after them. Obviously, it would not be good for someone who has or is planning children. The owners have tried to find someone to help without success.
If anyone knows of someone or is that someone willing to take on one of these beautiful cats please pm me. I really don't know what else I can say, we're all absolutely gutted.
Thanks
I've urged her to try rescue centres and the fact that soiling can be stopped if the cat is taken away from it's situation. I've given her CP head office number, but don't really know any rescues in the North West - is there anyone who can help?!
