A word to the wise Mary  :shy:  Telephone is usually better way to contact rescues rather than email.  You may know differently though concerning your local RSPCA.  They may not even allow telephone contact for all I know and insist on a potential slave visiting but I am just trying to save you the irritating waiting for an email response time  :hug:  Not sure if your furries have outdoor access or not?

How exciting!! Hope you get a reply soon!

Pepe looks like a sweetiepie, I love his name!

Smudge was a handsome fella  :Luv2: I remember seeing some of those pics not long ago because I commented on not only the lovely cats, but how much I loved your garden  ;)

Ciao bella :naughty: :rofl:

Very true, I think you have to have had a black cat to know that they are not at all alike ;)

The letter at the start of the reference number means the circumstances they came into the rescue centre and I can't remember them all, C is a cruelty case but why can't I remember the others?  I think W might be wandering the streets.

I think most of their cats will have a Yorkshire accent when they meow - mearrrr  :naughty: :rofl: Can you hear it? ;)  I get dafter each day I'm sure.

Gill I don't know how you can't remember my pics of Smudge.  In fact not so long ago I remember posting a pic of him and his ginger friend from up the road who always came in my house and I took one of them both on the door step and you commented on how nice my garden looked.

Any way, I'veemailed the people in charge of the rehoming and asked if we are a PURRfect match.

Don't think I've seen the "Smudge in bed" pic before Mary but recognise the other pics; being a bit of a black cat aficionado meself like  :)    :catluv:  Weird how short haired black cats can look so uniquely different.   

Well Pepe looks a bit of a doll too  :Luv2: :Luv2: but not like Smudge so I don't think homing a black cat should necessarily present a problem to you.  Any cat of whatever colour will indeed be absolutely unique.  Our Boris is very similar in colouring to our stunning Fred RIP but Boris is quite definitely his own man  :naughty:

I hope things turn out well for you and Pepe.  Love the name.  My name is Italian by the way but I have not one drop of Italian blood in me and suspect Pepe has very little French blood either  :evillaugh:

I think the fact that Pepe is shown as 12 years old means RSPCA should have some history for him?  Hopefully it will mean he has had decent slaves for his life so far if they know his age.  Sad that he has ended up in rescue but hope he is well and is rehomed soon  :hug:

Gill, of course you have, he was the reason I came on Purrs. Sam saw my advert for him missing on a site and invited me on here.

I then fostered Bonnie for 4 days and then I was a failed fosterer and adopted Bonnie.  You remember now don't you?

I posted loads of pics of Smudge and had loads of support from you all when he was missing and whenI found him dead

Well, with me being half Latvian, we should be the United Nations :evillaugh:

As soon as I saw the name I immediately thought of:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pep%C3%A9_Le_Pew

Wen I saw he was black I immediately thought of my darling Smudge who went to the Bridge in 2008. I often wonder how I would be with another black cat, but I know he will be different, to start with Smudge had yellow eyes and Pepe has green ones in that pic.

P.S. After looking at the pic of Pepe again, I think he actually does have yellow eyes :Luv2:

Pic of my Smudge attached :Luv2: :Luv2:

I actually have a good feeling about this, I hope I'm not disappointed.

I was gonna leave it until Monday, but you might be right Sue, I'll let them know my feelings on Pepe.

Thanks every one.

Mary

Gill, Pepe can be Spanish, French, Portugese or Italian.   

I hope you do get a call Mary.  Is it worth ringing them?   :hug:

No Little French Man For Me
« Reply #1 on: March 17, 2016, 17:03:18 PM »
Finally had my home visit to adopt an Older cat from the RSPCA today.

I've been looking on the website every day and today I noticed a new one called Pepe.

He is 12 and nothing written about him, also any cat 10 or over goes to a fosterer and the description says he is in the rehoming centre and available - so does that mean I might get a call to adopt him??
