I actually thought there was a problem with transport or he must be ill, I agree it is always best to home near if you can Dawn, you know the cat and what is best for him.

Nothing went wrong with it, it just takes time to set up but I understand that Dawn wasnt happy with it.

I'd love you to fill me in on what I was apparently not happy with seeing as the only comments I've made have been on this thread

On second thoughts Gill, I don't want to know...I am

fuming with your comments and a couple of others and I might not be able to contain myself if I get started

OMG, I really can't believe you lot bitching

Hope I'm not included in this statement.... Noone is questioning the vet cost. Can we have a decision on what you think is best for Barry though? (If you'd rather PM me that's OK.)

Not you JS....I would just love to know what is meant by the something fishy comment

My life for the last few years has been devoted to these cats...I was out til 2.30 am on Wednesday night trying to trap some kittens, and I doubt many of you could say you would do that for ferals, the difference is, I would

I don't need to

about the work I do with the cats, I deal with them 24/7. Whatever happens with Barry as far as travelling is my decision.....and mine alone, yes i appreciate the offer from Ron but I still feel it is a little far for him to be travelling and if I can get him somewhere locally, that would be my choice. I think I have been doing cat rescue long enough to know what is best for the cats in my care and I am not being rail roaded just because you lot don't like my decisions......I am not having him on a transport run going from car to car, this would be too stressful for any cat, never mind an oldie such as him.

I haven't been on Purrs the last few days as I've been up to my eyes in it trapping ferals and kittens....and Ron, nothing is fishy about what is going on and thanks for agreeing to his comment Gill

His dental bill came to £195.00 and that was including blood work.....if anyone wants to double check the vet bill, they are more than welcome

I haven't even had chance to ring the lady who offered to foster him yet, that is how

busy I've been.....you lot really take the biscuit

I've been trying to contact her on another matter and haven't had any joy so think something else is going on, I know she had loads of personal stuff going on at the moment

All the more reason to get the cat permanently sorted, if Rons offer wasnt wanted then the polite thing to do would be to say no straight out, we all know how limited spaces are so to leave one hanging is unfair

I think we should lock this thread till Dawn can be contacted - she is busy trapping ferals just now

Bazsmum · « **Reply #78 on:** September 18, 2009, 13:49:17 PM »

Maybe this could be sorted off line or by email between DD and Ron....Dont think I would want to do it publicly now!

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #77 on:** September 18, 2009, 13:43:17 PM »

I'd say letting Barry go to Ron's is the best thing to do, for the cats own needs.

And quickly as the offer cant stand forever

ronandcats · « **Reply #76 on:** September 18, 2009, 13:33:18 PM »

I can only keep the offer open for the nixed week if DD Does not make up her mind

Its The poor little cat that I feel sorry for and it cant be good keeping him Caged up for all this time when there is a home in my house waiting for him I am really Beginning to wish I had not myself involved in the first place, it will make me think about Offering to take a poor little cat in out of my area again but thank you all for trying to help Ron.

I am happy to help with the start of a transport run, should it be needed again - you know where I live Dawn

JackSpratt · « **Reply #74 on:** September 17, 2009, 19:47:45 PM »

Am waiting for Dawns input on this.....

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #73 on:** September 17, 2009, 18:01:14 PM »

he's not been rehomed, only fostered, so it can still be done

Janeyk · « **Reply #72 on:** September 17, 2009, 17:57:09 PM »

I agree too, we've had 2 oldies now travelled a long way one we collected from London and the other the fosterer brought up from Essexw although we offered to collect, he does have many illnesses but is fine and happy. Hope something can be sorted xx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #71 on:** September 17, 2009, 17:49:28 PM »

I agree totally with you Sharon and I am sure transport could have been arranged given a bit more time, cos it always takes time to sort something like this.

sheryl · « **Reply #70 on:** September 17, 2009, 17:43:52 PM »

Couldnt agree more Sharon - Im sure a transport run could be sorted for this little one

Bazsmum · « **Reply #69 on:** September 17, 2009, 17:36:13 PM »

Have to agree....A few hours in a car is so much better that a few hours on the street and thats what this original fuss was all worryingly about!

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #68 on:** September 17, 2009, 17:32:14 PM »

I am sure i am going to be hit on the head about this. But i think personally it was daft not to take Rons offer and give this cat a chance of a home, age nothing to do with it. Rather have a few hours of driving and end up some where nice then stay put.. Okay it would of involved alot of organising, but hey.. would bite the hand off of the person that offered an oldie a home and had rescue support as well.

As a branch of CP that have rehomed cats all over the place, unless the puss cat was physically ill and very poorly i would not transport a cat but other then that if the offer stands of a loving home or a rescue then... !?
Anyhow said my peace..

Tiggerman · « **Reply #66 on:** September 17, 2009, 17:25:02 PM »

So what went wrong with the transport run?

This is completely out of my area so sadly I cannot help.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #65 on:** September 17, 2009, 16:43:22 PM »

without proper rescue back up, this is not a good arrangement, surely

I think Ron's offer was a wonderful one, and I was really hoping this old boy could have been placed into his safe keeping for the rest of his days

Dawn F · « **Reply #64 on:** September 17, 2009, 16:02:03 PM »

Dawn said she had a foster home if sponsership could be found - whatever happens I hope Barry has warm place for the winter

Bazsmum · « **Reply #63 on:** September 17, 2009, 15:39:45 PM »

Even if the cat has a sponser where will he live?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #62 on:** September 17, 2009, 15:32:59 PM »

I think that the cat should have gone to Ron, I do not like the idea of a sponsored foster without any details being made known.

I am worried about the sponsorer and how much money is involved.....I do not think this should happen.

I think Rons offer was wonderful and we know that the cat would have a forever home but not so with a foster.

How long is this foster going to keep the cat, who decides on its medical care, is there a legal document drawn up to cover the sponsor and the foster? Who is the money going to directly?

So many questions and as much as I have admired Dawns work , this one to quote Ron. 'is all too fishy for me'

I think the sponsor should make sure that there is signed paperwork giving all the details of the arrangement and until there is, do not pay out any money.

In a situation like this one must know all the details.

sheryl · « **Reply #61 on:** September 17, 2009, 15:15:15 PM »

But even if Barry is sponsored Dawn has made it clear that she wont keep him so where does that leave him with the winter coming??

It seems such a shame when Ron was happy to take him and offer him TLC and warmth in his twilight years - Ron you are a Diamond

JackSpratt · « **Reply #60 on:** September 17, 2009, 14:41:55 PM »

Daisymac, I PM'd Ron today - I only found out about the sponsor situation this morning.

Ron, did you? I was unaware of that. Dawn hasn't been on Purrs much recently to my knowledge and the only communication I have is via the threads.

If I hear anything else I'll let you know straight away.

Daisymac · « **Reply #59 on:** September 17, 2009, 14:38:33 PM »

That is great that Barry has got a sponsor, I hope that works out.

I do however think that maybe Ron could have been kept in the loop a bit more instead of him having to come to purrs to find out what was going on, he firstly asked about sponsoring Barry and then he offerred a home for Barry and it seems no one got back to him, (in fact he even said he was keeping a space for him), so I wanted to say 'Ron you are a Star'

ronandcats · « **Reply #58 on:** September 17, 2009, 13:38:39 PM »

third time this has happend all to fishy for me, wont ever offer again Even offed to sponsor Barry if dawn kept him.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #57 on:** September 17, 2009, 11:35:00 AM »

I've just been told someone is willing to sponsor Barry via PM, BUT I do know his dental bill still has outstanding amounts, so I'm sure DD would appreciate whatever people could donate.

Dawn F · « **Reply #56 on:** September 17, 2009, 11:32:40 AM »

how much does she need JS or is it just a case of anything will help??

JackSpratt · « **Reply #55 on:** September 17, 2009, 11:30:01 AM »

Also, Dawn seemed happier with the idea of sponsorship more than transporting Barry due to his age. I'm waiting to see if she'd agree to the transporting, if there's no funding forthcoming.

Sootyca · « **Reply #54 on:** September 17, 2009, 11:14:26 AM »

There's a thread on the Transport Run board as well. I think people probably need to post what sort of area they are in/can do then it can be co-ordinated easily.

What is going on with poor Barry ? Ron has a place for him and we can organise a transport run but we havent heard anything

I think at the moment its not known Ron, but so kind of you to hold a place for him

Can anyone let me know whats going on about Barry,
is he or is he not coming to me in Brighton, only it would be nice to know as i am holding a place for the little old feller

Barrys transport run.

Barrys sponsorship thread.

Maybe we can work it out on which has the most response. Dawn, would that be OK with you?

Ron, I think it's a lovely offer.

Daisymac · « **Reply #48 on:** September 15, 2009, 08:46:25 AM »

I would be willing to help out on transport run, but I am not really in the right place so to speak, I am in bucks, so just outside M25 and I dont think Barry would come that way would he ? if he is then I could do say from the M40 junction 2 to the M3 Junction 3 (Camberley). I dont know if that helps at all.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #47 on:** September 15, 2009, 02:13:34 AM »

C'mon peeps, there is a perfectly good home on offer here.....One that you know no matter what Barry will be loved and cared for forever....
