I've just phoned the RSPCA. Sadly, as anticipated, they will neither give her to another rescue nor rehome her. According to the lady I spoke with the vet has said she is very sick (heart problems, kidney failure, hyperthyroid) and 'wouldn't last a month'. If she is not claimed they will PTS. I have offered to take her and I've told them about Truman that came to me from Brent Knoll  two years ago who was found in similar circumstances and that I've been home checked by RSPCA in Leicester. I've left my name and number but don't expect to hear from them.

I'm sure there has been a similar situation in the past. I don't think the RSPCA would release her to another organisation, only to a home  :(

Really hope her owner can be found :wish:

There was Justin (Just in Time fame) - a couple of years ago now who was on a seven day pts order but was through pressure from Catchat and Purrs members and rescues; RSPCA allowed to be adopted by the original finder who was horrified when she discovered what was going to happen to him. And there have been others.  :(

Wonder if it would be worth cross posting on Cat Chat and Animal Lifeline.

Hopefully the Shelter will release the cat if another rescue or home can be found. Did Purrs not help place 2 FIV cats for the shelter concerned a while ago?

Sorry just found thread on the 2 FIV cats - that was Bath not bristol  :innocent:

My brother lives in Bristol, I don't think he's in that area but I've emailed him to check if he knows anyone who's lost her. Long shot, I know.

Just wondering though, if she's microchipped, why can't the owner be traced?

You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world.

Sorry, I've just realised she's actually with the RSPCA.

Could you email the people and suggest they take the cat to either a CP places or another no kill shelter? I think most people go to the RSPCA as it's the first place they think of.

Aww poor puss, hopefully the owners will be traced as it says she is microchipped.

Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.
