I'm not sure WHAT that means! Some people are just plain odd!

What does this one mean??!

Is it cause people are complaining about them? I'm sure they'd be scared that their friend has come to 'trace them'

No prob Kelly, this was a message for the thread really

Sorry Gill - just people from rescue often mention the ridiculous reasons for rehoming and i thought this was up there as one of the worst. I didn't post it because it was a free ad per se.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #33 on:** January 23, 2007, 07:55:06 AM »

I really can't believe that reason for rehoming your cats - and they are unneutered, yet obviously have outdoor access!! Poor babies.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #32 on:** January 23, 2007, 02:26:06 AM »

I think peeps should keep away from the freeads as one is always gonna see more and more nasty stupid stuff and so many animals needing homes.

If you really must read them then I think that links should be kept off this site. Purrs will be putting out info about this shortly and instructions to moderators.

I know its very hard when you love animals to read these ad sites and not get involved but it is pointless breaking your heart because you cant stop reading them and you personally cant help the animal in question. So much good work is done by so many on Purrs within their own personal limits but there is a limit to what can be done.

Make sure that if you want to help any of the animals on these sites you can do it personally.

I am sorry if this sounds hard but reality has to kick in and most of us are full with cats we can cope with and/or also at the limit of financial resources. As you know especially those from CC, when there have been cats in dire need many have helped to try and save lives and I am sure will do again.

I have just read THE BEST reason for rehoming family members ever!Read on.............

2 lovely female cats sisters 3 years old ginger and white very loving long haired fluffy tales good with kids not been nuetered house trained names are roahda and rosie both very lovable both must go to same home as they have always been together there just like dogs follow u everywhere even to school reason for adoption is we go on holiday twice a year and it is hard to find someone to cat sit as i would never put them in a cattery

So 4 weeks holiday a year justifies getting rid of your cats - absolutely priceless

I have told myself that i am not going to look at the free adds anymore !!!
It breaks my heart to read them and i am starting to get totally obsessed with contacting people

I will tell you whats going though their minds MONEY MONEY MONEY. and nothing else. I am a strong beliver that what goes around comes around.

How can someone just"think" her kittens were Bengals for gods sake

. What on earth goes through some peoples minds I cannot comprehend, why on earth to these ad sites and free papers allow this kind of thing. I fear yet another two furbabes destined to be abandoned.

I think the 'bengal' ad may have been amended... There is no picture (don't know if there was before) and she now says in the ad "I thought they were bengal cats until this morning, and are 120 each(which is what i paid for my kitty)."

Unbelievable. poor babies, their little lives being sold like this. At least registered educated breeders care about the kittens they bring in to the world, and before they are born already have homes for them.

Wont be long until they are making deaf/blind kits. Email them for more info saying you have a white odd eyed female you would lend if you got 1 from the litter. Very intriguing what people get up to!

Liza · « **Reply #24 on:** January 17, 2007, 17:17:15 PM »

Another batch of unwanted kittens on its way then by the sounds of it......sounds like some sort of factory "wanted to join a breeding programme". WHAT THE

!!!!

Kelly · « **Reply #23 on:** January 17, 2007, 17:13:13 PM »

I really need to stop looking on these places but always do in case theres a kitty in need. Just come across this ad - made my blood boil!

wanted white female odd eyed cat/kitten
un neutered to join breeding programe
non pedigree preferred

WHAT THE

whats odd flippin eyes got to do with it????????????????????????????

Liza · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2007, 17:04:59 PM »

Where on earth do people pluck these prices from for kittens!!!!!!

So much better to get 1/2/3 kits from your local shelter/CP/RSCPA and pay an amount that goes back to helping other unwanted animals instead of lining people pockets...........

Kelly · « **Reply #21 on:** January 17, 2007, 17:00:18 PM »

OMG just found the same ad for the ginger kittens £180 on vivastreet.com

Liza · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2007, 14:18:00 PM »

Perhaps you should post your pic on the ad website...........show everyone the real thing instead of some immitation

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #19 on:** January 17, 2007, 13:54:57 PM »

They are not Bengals - this is a bengal

I emailed an Ad yesterday (i'm so bored i must go back to work lol) where the lady had said
"i don't beleive in neutering a cat before she has one litter. "

i asked her why she thought this and she replied
"Oh, because they are young and deserve to experience the feeling of
motherhood. I wouldn't like to have been sterilized before I have the chance
to experience it."

After sending her along email explaining how i feel about it and pointing out all the downsides she replied with
"I suppose I didn't think of that. I would keep one or two i suppose and give
others to people i know so she could see them. Its awkward really, I don't
know much about cats really, we was going to get a dog but all of the
madness been going around with dogs and attacking children, we changed our
minds. "

I know, what else can ya do?

I just mailed them other 2 ads asking why they have priced the kittens so high. Hopefully I will get some sort of explanation back. That was for the 24karat plated and the Bengal's.

Very cute fluffy tabbies................perhaps she thinks the "marking" make them Bengals hehe

ccmacey · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2007, 12:15:26 PM »

Maybe fluffy Tabby's, you don't get fluffy Bengal's, do you? Shouldn't she know the breed of the parents? Laughable.

I never got an email back from that 1 yesterday Michelle.

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #9 on:** January 17, 2007, 11:11:41 AM »

It does say they will be ready in 2 weeks so assuming its 9 weeks she plans on letting them go at? Also I've had a good look, these are not pedigree bengal kitties despite what she says.
