Excellent news that Porridge has a new home ... hope he has settled in OK and will get all the love and attention that all felines deserve.

Mark seeing the first photo he stole my heart big time. He's a stunner.

I am just please he is safe and loved now.

that did that to him, sorry but I hope something terrible happens to them, they deserve it. Eye for and eye and all that.

Unfortunately, i have stuck to a policy of not holding cats for longer then say a week, as during the summer it gets silly.. Okay if we dont have any on our waiting list but its not fair on the cats being in a pen longer then need be, esp with cats like Porriage that i can rehome several times over... May seem mean but we have a list at the moment and some are quite urgent so as soon as Porriage goes we will move on...! People should realise we are not a cattery!!...

Anyhows.... as i didnt know about this holiday with this couple i wll have to remember to ask people on the homing line now, as its usually something you dont get to hear about until half way down the rehoming route.... Like "oh by the way, i am off to Spain for 4 wks next week"!

Glad he has got a home - tricky one about holding him - I would have done, and have done, as it is better to go after they have been away. I suspect they went looking for a similar reason to the people that I have dealt with - they didn't realise how many there were, and thought they would have to start weeks in advance.

She told them straight that he couldn't be kept it a CP pen for weeks as it needed freeing up for another needy cat and as we know, anyone that meets Porridge would fall in love

(Besides he craves attention and it's not fair keeping him cooped up for longer than necessary).

Good on Sharn for sticking to her guns.. This happens so often.. Why an earth go looking for cat when you are away.. Still they seemed a lovely young couple with two kiddies to amuse him for hours... I could of rehomed him several times over but he has to be an only cat due to his sneezing issues!

While I was at the vet with Jake, some people came to view Porridge and are collecting him Friday

- They wanted him kept for a few weeks until they get back from their holiday but Sharn said he would be gone by then so they are getting someone to house sit. Sharn really wanted to keep him but said it wasn't the right time - Her daughter, Shannon fell in love with him as well and had been taking him in the house and taking him to bed with her. She is not very happy with Sharn right now

So pleased to hear the wee man is safe and sound... it really infuriates me to hear these stories.

We had a similar incident round here a few months back but it was a dog and not so lucky! Scum of the earth these people.

Awwww he's gorgeous!!

Bless him, how can people be so hideously cruel

I hope he is onto a winner here, sounds like it

Mark · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2008, 20:02:30 PM »

I want to see if I am right and Sharn keeps him. She said she can't afford to keep falling in love with cats as it will happen again. She lost her 22yr old cat last year so maybe she will sway

- She was constantly kissing him

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2008, 20:02:03 PM »

Ahhhh what a gorgeous boy .... how could anyone be so cruel

I'm sure he won't have to wait long for a loving new home.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2008, 19:59:40 PM »

I love him and hope he gets a wonderful home

bunglycat · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2008, 17:15:26 PM »

Hope they crash on the way home

Awwwww poor thing and so handsome x

koscha (Ruth M) · « **Reply #9 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:47:23 PM »

What a handsome young man!

Glad he's safe now and i'm sure he'll stop shaking with fear soon. Being thrown from a car would frighten me!

He'll soon cotton on that he's adored and will have a lovely new home where no-one will even contemplate chucking him anywhere

clarenmax · « **Reply #8 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:46:33 PM »

He's gorgeous

ginge66 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:40:43 PM »

Poor Porridge, how people can be so cruel is beyond me. He reminds me of our old cat, very distinguished

. Hope he finds a new home soon, love the name by the way

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #6 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:29:30 PM »

Aww he looks like our Penguin!

Such a cutie.

Dawn F · « **Reply #5 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:14:36 PM »

I truly can't understand anyone getting into a car with purpose of throwing a live animal out of it

Mark · « **Reply #4 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:13:04 PM »

He has perfect markings. White whiskers, white bib and white sox

Cant believe he is only 5 months old, what a bruiser!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #2 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:04:51 PM »

I think Sharon has mentioned the gorgeous Porriage/Porridge in the general sect Mark.....Maybe these threads could link up somehow?

He looks quite a big boy and very handsome!

whoever you are who threw him out of the car!

Mark · « **Reply #1 on:** April 18, 2008, 15:00:15 PM »

Luckily someone saw it happen and saved him - Amazingly, he was uninjured and taken to our vet and he is safe with Sharn now. He has a bit of a cold but on the mend. He is very affectionate and gives headbutts but trembles with fear at the same time

Sharn has fallen in love and she kissed him about 50 times when we were there. She said she mustn't get attached but I have a feeling with this one. Sharn runs a professional cattery so is used to seeing lots - Porridge has stolen her heart methinks
