Sadly, one of the two of you needs to, Bramble! I'd have so many more cats without the common sense of my partner. (I'm not good in that area!)

Same for me

Whoops - my bad lol!

I know what you mean - as a vet nurse i STILL have difficulty convincing my friends to get their cats neutered *sigh*.... they're only too happy to ask for advice when un neutered tom starts spraying on their new sofa though!!

Yes, I agree its not ideal, but if the cats are in rescue, and have therefore been neutered etc, its another avenue to try maybes????

I hate to see so many animals in need of homes, and if circumstances permitted, would be much more active - I think all you rescue guys do a sterling job, but not everyone looking for a new pet will go down the rescue route... doesnt mean they are bad potential owners - a few i have met prefer to look at the free to good home ads in order to stop animals from going to unsuitable homes... if you know what i mean..

Just had a quick look on here.
The first 2 i looked at both wanted to rehome un-neutered cats.
the 2nd one was quiet sad as they want to rehome 2 un-neutered boys and the Mother is yet again pregnant.
Someone had advised them to get the cats neutered but it goes to show just how many people dont both with neutering anymore

I wasn't criticising the forum I was just saying how many people still don't neuter their cats (although we already know that ) and want to rehome them un-neutered

She's on CatChat, Janey.

I really wish she could get a home, could she be put on Catchat?

noodlepooch · « **Reply #39 on:** January 09, 2009, 20:51:40 PM »

aww poor lil lady!

have you tried the free to good home forums? their emphasis is on putting animals that would otherwise be advertised in shop windows etc, through a proper rehoming process. Also dogpages forums is where I found Minkys new family... there was no rescue involved in my case, but as I am a vet nurse, I felt happy to do my own home checks etc....

Good luck - she looks lovely!

I know. It's a bit upsetting for her carer too I would think. It was a hard decision to make; he loved his parents a lot and is fond of the animals, but had never taken any on himself after moving out due to his lifestyle. (He's very active and goes on activity weekends and the like.) He feels pretty bad that it's not working out but he has tried for a couple of years to make it work, bless him.

Still looking.

Yes he does have a point - with two wee ones on the way it could be too much to take on !!

In saying that however - it would depend on the character of the little lady. Oscar is 12 and little if no work at all - unlike his demanding 12 year old pal Edgar!!

Oscar literally just eats and sleeps and occasionallly comes up for a cuddle on the couch. The most noise he makes is indignant meows when I am taking too long getting his food open !

If the little lady was this way inclined then not too much work - but then hmmmm making a cup of tea will prob seem like too much work with new born twins!

Hubby looked at me late last night and said "we can't the twins are coming"

He does have a point. All depends on if you could cope with another one and two tiny humans really!

I cannot believe no home can be found.

Well, feel free to all ask your cat loving friends if they have space for her.

I quite agree JS

Hope Tizer finds a genuinely interested human to love her forever soon

She's not on CatChat, no. She's on Corporal Smokeys CP page and here. She is apparantly a sweetheart, but there's only been one very vague enquiry unfortunately.

She's on our Catchat page too hun. I am updating tomorrow so I'll bump her up again. The vague enquiry involved someone reading her story where it says "do not call the branch as we don't have any further information, call this number instead" and then calling the branch

I found it curious they didn't want contact with Tizers current human carer - and so did he. It put him off contacting the person who had enquired. (Quite understandably in my opinion, the decision was difficult enough for him.)

caledonia · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2009, 19:44:37 PM »

Its a real shame no one has taken her on - she looks a darling.

My two old boys are 12 - Oscar acts about 20 and Edgar acts about 9 months!

Likewise with vet bills its all the luck of the draw - these two have been to the vet much less than Bertie who I re-homed when he was 7 but I guess people just get it into their heads!

Me too, I dont adopt cats under the age of 12, but sadly most people dont think like that, and when 4mo's are too old, then it is no wonder that a 12yo is being overlooked.

MrsR · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2009, 13:47:13 PM »

I prefer older cats, the older the better in my books.

12 is young to us! she is half Byron's age, she is lovely and if I was looking to adopt I would love her - is she on Cat Chat?

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2009, 12:47:12 PM »

I bet it is her age Mark, too many people think that with a 12yo they wont have a lot of time with them. People also think that they will end up with higher vets bills, although she could easily be insured.

Mark · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2009, 12:43:22 PM »

If beautiful cats like Tizer can't find a home, what hope is there?

Everyone called my dad's mum "Tizer nanny" - she had a hard life with 12 kids but used to go to afternoon cinema with a bottle of Tizer for a break from it all.
