So sorry to hear about little Freda, What a shame that the RSPCA don't give loving people like yourself the chance to see for yourself whether their was anything that could have been done to help her , if there wasn't then you could have had peace of mind and let her go knowing that this was best for her instead of them taking the easy option of putting an animal to sleep.
You are a wonderful lady God bless you for caring so much.

RIP little lady safe at the bridge now.

for you xxxx
Denise

You tried your best Moira

Very sad to hear this, in a way I hope she was as poorly as they said so at least she has been spared any further suffering.

RIP Freda, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx

Sorry to hear this , Moira. Your valiant efforts to save this little one were much admired and worthy. Thank you for caring and trying so hard.

RIP, Freda, Safe and happy at the Bridge, at last

Sorry to hear this Moira and as you say we will never know. Thank you again for trying

RIP Freda run free little one - we may not have known you or you us but we did care

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #34 on:** February 20, 2012, 12:23:19 PM »

Thats so sad Moira and thank you for trying so hard

RIP Freda, play hard on the Bridge.

The RSPCA have no concience, I dont think they really care

heather sullivan · « **Reply #33 on:** February 20, 2012, 11:08:11 AM »

ahhh that is so sad, poor little Freda. Thanks for trying anyway. I am not impressed with the RSPCA at all

moira · « **Reply #32 on:** February 20, 2012, 11:03:34 AM »

Very sad news.

I eventually managed to get through to the clinic this morning but was told Freda was PTS on Saturday. It was the same nurse I spoke with last week. She said '(due to her health issues) it would not have been appropriate to keep her going'. We'll never know for sure if she was, indeed, at the point where euthanasia was the only option.

So sorry, little one. Play hard at the bridge.

moira · « **Reply #31 on:** February 19, 2012, 22:38:51 PM »

I had no luck yesterday either. Like you, Liz, I just got answerphone but not even able to leave message. I will try again tomorrow but, to be honest, I don't hold out much hope.

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #30 on:** February 19, 2012, 20:46:08 PM »

I tried contacting both phone numbers after I posted here on friday and they both went to answerphone. Moira I do hope you manage to get a positive response from them, I can take her in short term if we have somewhere for her to go x

Skiddaw · « **Reply #29 on:** February 18, 2012, 13:20:13 PM »

Thanks for trying Moira. Did you ever manage to get through?

Also sorry to hear about Trueman. i must have missed that. He was a dear cat and reminded me so much of our Uncle M in his final days.

Peggy C · « **Reply #28 on:** February 17, 2012, 18:31:52 PM »

I do so hope that this story has the right ending for the poor pussy whatever it turns out to be THank you for your help in her time of need

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #27 on:** February 17, 2012, 14:32:16 PM »

Moira - you are an angel and I thank you for doing what you do.

I think you said that you had to speak with the Head Vet to get Trueman (bless his heart) released and I know with Justin it was the same at the RSPCA hospital cos the vet nurses were fobbing everyone off.

So sending all good vibes that you get to speak with the vet

moira · « **Reply #26 on:** February 17, 2012, 14:25:51 PM »

The information I received from their receptionist (nurse?) yesterday was that Freda was very old and had numerous age related problems (heart, kidney, hyperthyrod) and 'would only last a month' and thus was not rehomable. I have been trying this afternoon to get through to the clinic to speak with the vet direct but haven't had any luck so far. None of us would advocate keeping a suffering animal alife but I would like to hear it from the vet that she would, with or without medication, have no quality of life left. That for me is the issue, quality of life, the time left is not relevant. I'll keep trying.

Zenith (Liz) · « **Reply #25 on:** February 17, 2012, 14:01:55 PM »

This is really upsetting me

So they wont even rehome her if her owners dont come forward?

Totally agree.

Could someone claim to be her owner but the "paperwork has been lost?" Any chance it would work?

I dont think so JS cos they are with holding the details of her microchip.

moira · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2012, 13:15:16 PM »

that is so kind of you, Trigger. I have not had any response to my e-mail so will try to phone the vet this afternoon and speak with him direct. Sadly, don't hold out much hope.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #22 on:** February 17, 2012, 11:56:24 AM »

Moira, if there are vet fees involved, as there were with Truman, I shall be happy to contribute

Bad stories about RSPCA never get in the papers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heather sullivan · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2012, 18:33:52 PM »

that is so nice of you to offer to help and take her. I had a cat years ago who had a heart attack aged 7 and he lived till 20 on medications. Maybe if your vet could speak to them they may agree to let you take her and end her days with love and care? If they still refuse, maybe you could mention "if" the story got into the newspapers, it wouldnt be very good press for them

Fingers crossed we can get a happy ending for her

moira · « **Reply #18 on:** February 16, 2012, 17:44:05 PM »

Thanks, Gazzar, that's very kind of you.

sorry Skiddaw, Truman passed away some time ago. However, I had him for 15 months and he was a sweet, happy boy right to the end. I have no regrets taking on an old sick cat, it was very rewarding. I just wanted for Truman to have one season enjoying snoozing in the sun and, in fact, he had two. I would love to give Freda the same but, of course, she isn't Truman and we don't know just how well/sick she is.

cazzer · « **Reply #17 on:** February 16, 2012, 17:36:30 PM »

Have just seen this. Don't know where you are Moira. I live in Bristol if by any chance they will let her go to you Moira, if you need any help with a transport run I will see if we can help. {Although won't be able this weekend}. Hope it all works out for you and Freda x

Wiggins · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2012, 17:16:14 PM »

I think your offer and efforts are truly amazing Moira. Good luck tomorrow. x

Skiddaw · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2012, 17:09:03 PM »

Will keep everything crossed for this little one.

Moira, also glad to hear that Truman is still going strong. I really fell in love with him. Are there any recent pics??

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #14 on:** February 16, 2012, 16:47:34 PM »

You are just a fantastic person Moira and hope that you get to speak with the vet and the little girl can be saved.

Mymblesdaughter · « **Reply #13 on:** February 16, 2012, 16:43:01 PM »

Moira, that's so nice of you to go to the trouble to try to help.

moira · « **Reply #12 on:** February 16, 2012, 16:29:16 PM »

It's a difficult one because, of course, we are not in a position to know how sick Freda is and none of us would suggest she be rehomed if she is suffering and cannot be helped. I take the point, though, that if she were that sick wouldn't they have been justified in pts on health grounds? It seems the only reason they have had to wait at all is because she was chipped. I have e-mailed the rescue asking that their vet contact me and reiterating my offer to take her and the situation with Truman. You're right, with Truman I did speak with the vet directly and it was on her say so that Truman lived. If I don't get a response to my e-mail I'll try phoning the vet tomorrow (if they will give me the vets name/contact details).

Wiggins · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2012, 16:22:13 PM »

That's an amazing offer Moira. I see that the lady you spoke to relayed what the vet had said. Is it possible for either you or even better, your vet to speak to their vet on your behalf to go through your offer of a home and experience with a similar situation? Surely he/she can vouch for you. And if it's more complicated than the lady you spoke to is saying, at least your vet would be able to either agree/disagree on a professional level too.

It's a dreadful situation, even more so when this girl is being offered a chance

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #10 on:** February 16, 2012, 16:07:31 PM »

You really are an angel Moira

Sadly I don't think it will be enough for this little one, absolute madness when a kind loving home (homechecked by their own organisation) is being offered

Surely if she was that ill they wouldn't wait for an owner to come forwards but would have to PTS on health grounds straight away?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #9 on:** February 16, 2012, 16:02:06 PM »

RSPCA are just sick............I was thinking about Truman and you and seem to recall loads of hijinks had to be gone through to get him safe.

If someone wants to take on an old and sickish cat, what reason have they to say no! I know truman lived loads longer than their estimate but they are willing to PTS a lovely friendly cat who could have a home, it just makes no sense.
