Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me, As I seem to have acquired a kitten / junior cat last night.
She is currently 7 months old (Or so I have been told) She hasn’t had the best start in life. She was brought at the age of 4 weeks old, Since this time, She has spent her entire life in a empty bedroom with 3 un-neutered males.
The reason I now have her is because her owners have moved aboard today & her only other options was:- A: Being left in a empty home or B: Being sold to a local breeder within the area.
I was told by the owner that she is a indoor cat, So they never took her for micro-chipping, Injections or spaying.
Apparently a week or so ago, She got out of the property for 4 nights! She had come back with a injured leg. However, I have seen no evidence of this, Other then she lifts her paw every now again.
She doesn’t get on with dogs! This is why I am trying to find her a foster placement , forever home or a rescue placement as a matter of urgency because she is getting really stressed out being here with my 2 cats & medium sized dog!
The previous owner also said the reason they didn’t want her is because she might be pregnant & they didn’t want blood on their stuff!
I have been in contact with Cats protection Bristol. A very kind lady there has arranged a spaying voucher for the local vets, So she is booked in tomorrow morning. However, My home is able to accommodate a cat who has just had major surgery nor, Have I got the time to assist her needs.
Currently I contacting anyone & everyone to find this lovely little lady the best help I can, I already feel a failure because I’m having to do this, But I just cant afford another pet at present.
Can you help me, Cookie & Cats protection in offering her a placement for tomorrow after her major surgery?
Please feel free to contact me on:-
vickyx87x@hotmail.co.uk
I will be around most of the day.
Thank you for reading . I hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes.
Vicky

poor cat, sounds like she has had a horrible time - are you in Bristol?
-
Sorry i should have said, Yes i am, I've already spoken to many of the rescues this end, No one has spaces! :(
-
sadly yes nobody does have spaces - there are just too many cats - hope you manage to get the help you need
-
OMG the poor little thing. What has happened to the un-neutered boys ... have they moved abroad or have they gone to the "local breeder"?
Sorry I can't help out.
-
I'm not sure, I think he said he was taking them with him. I did keep asking, But he just got arsey!
-
How sad - she sounds like she has had an awful start in life! Do you have any pics or a description? Does she get on with your cats or is she not keen?
-
She seems to get on fine with my cats, A little unsure, But no fighting or anything! Just the dog she really hates!
I hope the picture shows up, She looks a lot bigger in this photo, Real life, She small & skinny!

Looks like this one might have a happy ending. From the original thread on MSE:
Hi everyone, Just thought i would update really!
COOKIE has now been spayed! She was seen this morning at 9!
During this time, All rescues other then 2 washed their hands off her, With one evening telling me to just let her go out & get lost!
So they will be getting a letter of complaint very shortly!
However, This morning i have managed to find her a forever home!
The lady lives locally & runs a rescue for animals like cookie, She has told me that she will keep Cookie & that my OH & I can come & visit anytime!
She is coming with me to the vets to collect cookie later this evening!
I cant help feeling like i have let cookie down, But i'm also very excited for her!
Thank you to everyone once again for helping me & cookie! x

:wow: ooh that sounds brilliant.
I'l leave here a while, hopefully the OP will update us shortly.

So pleased for Cookie,don't you despair of some owners!
-
Ahhh bless ... so pleased Cookie has found a forever home and well done to vicky for stepping in and caring.
