Well, part of the clue to tell me what background the sender of the email comes from is the location. Ramsgate does have some very nice parts but it does also have a thick pocket of 'problem' families the authorities - council, police, immigration services - have placed there. The subdistrict of Newington is more or less accepted as a containment area.
Not that I know for sure this person comes from Newington but I'll still have a fiver on it.
We have rehomed in Ramsgate before, mind you, but only when 'native' rescues can't help. The last time that springs to mind is when my tamed down feral kitten 'Toast' went there. Toast's new owners have been brilliant and done everything that I asked plus gave us a whacking great donation. They had been searching for a ginger kitten for ages and it just so happened I was the only rescuer for 30 miles who had one.
If I had time to waste, I might well have put together an email to this email sender to tell her about by beloved bridge babe Tooshy. He just walked into my door on summer's evening, a silver tabby full tom aged about 3 years and half dead with terrible weeping abscesses. I was 17 years old and earning a pittance, nontheless I did what you have to do and it cost me 5 weeks wages to have him fixed him up. He never forgot that and spent the rest of his days following me around like a love sick puppy. He worshipped the ground I walked on and always slept on my pillow. When I woke in the morning, his arm was always drapped around my face.
I feel sorry for folks who'll never know what it's like to save a life and be rewarded 10 fold.
