Hello all
I am posting this ont he of chance of anyone being able to help. In the last few weeks we have taken in so many strays with major problems that we are virtually bursting at the seams. However, in time all can be sorted except our dear Isaac.
If anybody has read my previous post under FIV, Isaac has been living under a car for many months and fed dog food on the odd occassion. He is a lovely white and black puss that is still abit scruffy, but Isaac has FIV. He is in our emergency pen at the moment and we had hoped to move him to a indoor fosterer. Troube is with all the other strays in our care including a pregnant mum this is just not ahppening. Isaac needs a home on his own to get used to people. He has not been touched or handled yet, but is talked to and seems to be doing fine now we have his tummy sorted out with sensitive food. He is due to go back to the vets for 2nd van in 2 weeks time. However, after that we really want to find him a person that has some experience of FIV and would be willing to give him a chance at a life, after the horrid experience he had up to know. Isaac needs someone with patience who realises he is not going to roll over and be ticked for a long time (if ever) but the longer he is in a pen without some kind of socialisation the worse and logner this will take. He is quite happy in a pen and enjoys looking outside but not fussed about escaping yet! We reckon is is not more then 4 yrs old, but so hard to tell.
If you live in a flat or near a busy road and love cats to bits, Isaac could become a cat worth hellping.
Considering I was the person who picked poor Isaac up I am doing my utmost to see if we can give him an enjoyable life. He has started grooming himself as of late and is abit better in that no hisses come your way, but we have yet to stroke him or handle him.
Is anyone out their prepared to be Isaac's Guardian Angel!
We do have abit of time, but in the belieft that we should start to work out a plan B know I have posted this.
Isaac is like Humphrey a case that deserves a chance and I for one am desperate to make sure he is at least given a chance of a happy life.

Poor old Isaac .... I don't suppose the wonderful carers who look after Sydney would be willing to help out again? or is it still a bit soon after losing Sydney to approach them again?
I know you have some wonderful people who have helped you out before so fingers crossed another Angel will come forward.
-
She has other cats I am afraid otherwise I would of approached her! But Isaac really needs a place on his own!

:( oh dear. i'm keeping everything crossed for you and Isaac.

Hi Sharon,
You really are a champion for your cats. Poor Isaac..it's so sad to hear of such cases.
Have you posted Isaac's story under the FIV+ section?
I hope he finds someone to love him soon. I have read all the updates on Humphrey btw and am so pleased for the lovely little guy. Well done to you and all at Canterbury CP.
Lots of love
Roz

Isaac went ot FOAL yesterday. He didnt murmour at all, looked abit sad when we left but he has certainly improved in the 3 weeks we had him. We be in touch with Isaac in the next few weeks. I hope we did the right thing
-
What did you think of FoalFarm ?
who did you deal with there ?
-
I do hope Isaac will be alright there and am interested to know what you thought of them too........you did go there didnt you?

They seemed very committed and have volunteers to help socialise him. They had seen much worse. I spoke to Rachel to start with but met a young lady who I presume was the vet nurse. They ahd some space in the inner cattery in the warm for him in his own pen full of toys and bed etc. They seem to have luck in rehoming FIVs there. I have told them any problems give us a ring.
They seem well equipped, although the place didsnt look its best with all the rain we have had this way.
-
Trust me they are 100% committed and caring, i wouldnt have sent you there if i didnt think so.
Your right It can get rather boggy there when it rains but lovely in the summer lol
I am sure they will do wonders with Isaac and then find him that forever home he so deserves
Keep intouch with them, they dont mind phonecalls and are always nice and helpful
-
Awww, Isaac looks a darling I do so hope he gets the loving he deserves
-
Would the man in Dover (other thread) consider Isaac?
-
Isaac is on Foals web page bless him xx
