True, but without his support it's still a bit dubious to rehome with a 100 year old man, isn't it? I think it's sad, the old chap must be missing his feline company terribly.

The Rescue dealing with this have not spoken to the old gentleman himself yet. They will do a home visit and take it from there. The old gentleman lost his cat to old age 6 months ago. The old gentleman may have different views than his son.

Tell him to get one of these!

JackSpratt · « **Reply #32 on:** January 16, 2009, 09:10:26 AM »

What does he think the cat is? A toy they can loan from the toy library? Cheeky so and so. Does the old man genuinely want a feline companion?

Martha tell me this is a bit more complicated than first appears. Apparantly his son is the problem. They want a puddy aged 2-3 and are expecting the rescue to take pud back when the gentleman expires.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #28 on:** January 15, 2009, 20:02:22 PM »

Any luck with this one? I keep thinking about this old chap - I can't imagine not having a furbabe in the house.

Aren't there any "special" furbabes on CatChat that might be suitable.

Keeping everything crossed that this gentleman finds a kitty

Pudding is lovely but once a pud has had one owner expire on them, I really think they deserve a place where the odds are it won't happen again.

I agree Julie animals grieve too and that's something which worrys me

MrsR · « **Reply #25 on:** January 11, 2009, 20:35:45 PM »

If this gentleman gets an elderly cat homed I will be in tears with pregnancy happiness, it will be so nice for them both

Thanks. Will call her.

What about Pudding?

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #21 on:** January 11, 2009, 15:53:33 PM »

Martha, I am sending you a PM as I've just had a reply from this lady.

Mouse2 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 11, 2009, 09:03:05 AM »

HAWS homed a 17 year old cat to a 97 year old gentleman last year. Age should not stop you from having a cat if you have back up to help you. My Gran would be devastated if she did not have pets. She is 89 and they keep her going. She has to get up and make sure they are fed and well(She has help, but they do not know anything - according to my Gran...)

As a CP branch we have rehomed a 14yr old to an 80 yr old lady and it made her day, as the RSPCA refused i think.. Of course there were provisions for the cat if the lady couldnt cope any more, the Son who lived a few doors away was taking over.. I dont remember the cats name but Sally did the homecheck and the cat was taken tot he vet to be PTS as the owner could no longer cope, she was an oldie though and i havent heard anything for a while but i know the vets have as i briefly saw her on the way to the vets a few weeks back and the receptiion told me she was coming in for yearly vac (rather then anything else more serious of course)... So happy ending there i reckon..

Having met Martha (HAWS) i am sure they will find a suitable puss cat if it moves forward

MrsR · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2009, 21:40:17 PM »

Awwww this really warms my heart

Mouse2 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 10, 2009, 21:38:31 PM »

Thanks. HAWS would be happy to let the family adopt a cat(after a home check) if the family will look after the cat for its whole life span. We only have cats that are 10-13 years old at present. We may get in older cats at any time.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #16 on:** January 10, 2009, 19:43:28 PM »

Oh, dear!

I do know she's a busy lady and constantly in demand, so maybe hasn't got around to pick up all her messages yet.

I will see if I can get hold of her via the other forum and let you know. Thanks for trying, though.

Mouse2 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 10, 2009, 19:19:56 PM »

I have been unable to get hold of this lady. I can only try in the evenings after work and on the weekends. Two phone numbers. Landline has no space for messages and mobile does not work.

Mouse2 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2009, 18:29:54 PM »

Hi Julie

I will contact this lady as soon as I have had time to talk to the HAWS team about possible candidates.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #13 on:** January 06, 2009, 12:42:49 PM »

Hi, Martha!

Here's the website details of the rescue involved. The lady is called Kim. She says she's willing to HC, etc., but just doesn't have a puss she feels comfortable placing with a person this senior is years. I know she works part time so may be a while responding to messages.

Can I leave it to you to contact her? The less people involved in communications, the less the risk of confusions. I have left a message on the forum in question to say HAWS may have suitable puss cats.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #12 on:** January 06, 2009, 08:02:08 AM »

Hi Martha Pinkbear is SE based actually, i think the rescue in New Forest Hampshire.. so we wouldnt be able to homecheck.. But it may be that there is already a hc in place actually.. I am sure Julie (PB) will let you know... if anything you may be closer.. BTW have you posted any of those puss cats you have in your care on the rescue page... as the last time i looked you seem to be bursting... and still have kittens.. Good luck

Mouse2 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:14:23 AM »

Send me your contact details and I will check if we have anything suitable. We have several senior cats at HAWS that are in permanent foster homes because no one wants to adopt them. Would you be able to do the home visit for us as it is out of area?

caledonia · « **Reply #10 on:** January 05, 2009, 23:45:30 PM »

Oh thats just amazing - imagine that eh!!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #9 on:** January 05, 2009, 19:28:10 PM »

Shame your not closer, we have some oldies. Good luck in finding one for him though.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2009, 18:53:28 PM »

Check HAWS mouse2 is the lady that posts on Purrs, real name Martha.. Last time i looked they had several senior oldies...We also have Myrtle coming back in and she is probably 10plus but deaf... (or we think so anyhows) Sheppey have an oldie as well but not sure how old

Sad to report that Daisy went downhill over the weekend and was taken tothe vets this morning.. They have kept her in but Caroline tells me that things are not good... due to the sudden nature of her decline they are wondering if its something much more serious that would not perhaps of been picked up without a great deal of testing... Fingers crossed..for her as she does have a potential home.. but i have concerns that it may not happen

Now....where is that really old girl on here ??!!!

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #1 on:** January 05, 2009, 18:34:40 PM »

I've just got details through from a rescue based in the New Forest area who are searching for a suitable puss for a gentleman aged 100!

Anyway, they thought there was a chance of a really senior puss in need of a retirement home. I should add this gentleman does have help and support from family.

I think I saw a 17 year old in need recently but cannot remember where...
