hi all, i need help, my beautiful 1 1/2 year old maine coon needs a new home, we have just found out our baby is allergic to her, she is a stunning black and white girl, pedigree, spayed, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped, indoor cat, loves my two collies, loves kids and everyone. She is beautiful black and white girl. I thought i had a perfect home for her with a friend, but have been let down, my main concern is a loving home for her, please can anyone help, im totally devasted, ive have never had to rehome any animal,b
-
Forgot to say, breeder can't have her back, I'm in Kent, please can anyone take care of my beautiful girl.

Sprry to hear you're having to rehome your cat :hug: Have you had the allergy confirmed as a cat allergy? Reason I ask as, in my own experience, Doctors are often very quick to point the finger at cats without having this confirmed by way of an actual allergy test. It would be heartbreaking to rehome and then discover that your babies allergy was no better :shy:
If you're certain that the baby is allergic to her, and you've explored stuff like wooden flooring to reduce dander, keeping out of the bedrooms and things like petal cleanse then it's worth contacting the breed rescues to see if anyone is looking for an addition to the family. I would have thought that she was very 'desireable' what with her breed plus being good with kids, dogs, in good health and also being a relative youngster.
A couple I found from a quick google...

Hi thanks done all that in the home, its definately her bless she is such a good girl, breed clubs are now aware but i really need to get this sorted quickly for her, its not fair on her.
-
Please may I but in and ask about 'petal cleanse' ? My son doesn't live at home anymore but he is allergic to Alfie and suffers quite a lot when he visits.
Hollie, I do hope that you find a solution to your situation soon.

That's a shame :hug: I know it's quite far from you but I have heard good things about this pedigree rescue, they don't just rehome persians and might have somebody interested in a Maine Coon or have a space available to take her in. If you do rehome her yourself so make sure to do a homecheck before you let her go.

It's a liquid that needs to be wiped over the coat once a week and is apparently quite effective, also worth getting your son to take an antihistamine before he comes over.

I already have a Maine coon and if you can arrange to transport her to Retford I will have her
-
Can I just add Mrs R is a wonderful Mum to her cats and her gorgeous Twin girls and your baby would have a wonderful home with Nikki and her family ;D
-
Awwww thanks Liz.
Should say really that because of already owning a MC I know what to expect with them. I currently have 1 MC and 3 cross breeds - all my cat are rescue cats.
I have 2 twin girls ages 4 in a couple of weeks but they have grown up with cats and handle them very well.
-
[hijack alert] Thanks for the info about petal cleanse. Poor M lives on antihistamines when he is here, and ventolin! Have tried allergy wipes from pets at home (I think it was) without much success [/hijack]
-
Can possibly help with a transport run/relay?
I'm in London and will be coming up to the West Midlands over the next couple of weeks.
Don't mind nipping down to north Kent to collect her first and I can put her up overnight if necessary in my spare room.
Could Mrs R get to the Coventry/Nuneaton area? Or someone collect her from me there?
-
I could get to Coventry for sure
-
Holliedale I'm on Facebook so you could keep well up to date and not loose contact if you wanted
-
OK, let me know if I can help. I'm on FB too, or come back to this thread to contact me. I'm flexible this week-end.
-
I can do tomorrow only this weekend
-
I'm under Nikki Rushin on fb and it a picture of a dark haired lady cuddling a blonde haired lady
-
Lets see what transpires when Hollie sees this. I have a trip to Nuneaton on the cards, and could do it tomorrow if it's our only option. Let's see.
I'm out (again!) tonight but will take my phone with me. Can I send you my number by PM, Mrs R? Then we can do this by text while I'm out?
Will look for you on FB, but I'm rubbish at FB on the phone, prefer old fashioned text. :shy:
-
Have sent you a FB friend request Nikki. :)
-
Yes pm me and if she comes online tonight ill text you with her answer
-
Done. Just need Hollie to come on now.
-
her name is down the bottom of the page, think that means she is online???
-
Fingers crossed
-
I do hope this works cos its the purrrrrrrrfect solution.
Good luck guys, make it happen :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thanks Gill
-
Fabulous news for Nikki as she will be the perfect home :)
-
Going out for diesel now in case this is a goer. :shify:
OH is complaining cos it's FA Cup day tomorrow, he'll have to make his own lunch. Sigh. :evillaugh:
-
I have pmed Hollie for you as she is off line, grrrrrrrrr meant to check if she has them coming to her as emails.......will do that now
-
Thanks Gill, don't want to put pressure on Hollie but if we can only get this one shot at a 150+ mile transport run, we need to move quickly.
Elle, are you a homechecker for RACR these days?
-
Elle, are you a homechecker for RACR these days?
I can do if required, but I'm now running my own rescue so am generally quite busy homechecking my own adoptions, but still happy to work for others if needed ;)
-
I have my fingers firmly crossed that this is going to work out!
-
Mrs R is well know to us and dont think a homecheck should be necessary in this case.
I have resent the message to Hollie so she gets as a popup and as an email.
-
Nikki and I know each other very well and i've been to her old house many times, not been to the new one yet but I plan on a visit soon ;) If she allows me lol
-
Am going out at 6.20pm, so any updates will need to be on my phone, please Nikki?
Thank you.
-
Will do x
-
Hell she has not been back then
-
Nope sadly not
-
I have just sent her an urgent email and wishing and hoping
-
No news?
-
Nothing
-
:(
-
I guess it's not going to happen today
-
I'm still up for this, Nikki. :crossed:
Hollie, if you can't get to me, I will come to you. Today. With carrier if necessary?
PM me sweetheart we can help but only have a short window in which to do so on this occasion. :are there?:
Sheila x
-
I'm up for it too today
-
but i really need to get this sorted quickly for her, its not fair on her.
Can you please let us know what's going on hollidale as you have a very good home waiting and transport!!!
-
oh dear, I had hoped that this would have been sorted :( I really hope that this works out, for everyone's sake!
-
Afraid I'm calling Time on this one. Need to get on with my life. :shify:
Holliedale, please let us know what's happening?
If we can help, we will, but I've run out of time today to do this run for you. We need miles better communication from you if we're going to help rehome your cat.
-
I've been keeping an eye on this thread and can't believe Hollidale hasn't replied. I'm starting to wonder if she's ignoring this because she's done something stupid! Really hope this isn't the case.
-
Perhaps it all moved a bit too fast and she wasn't quite ready to let go...
-
Hi thanks done all that in the home, its definately her bless she is such a good girl, breed clubs are now aware but i really need to get this sorted quickly for her, its not fair on her.
I think this is why we jumped to the challenge, Slugsta. :(
-
She has been logged on and looked at the post and my profile - just wondering why the silence
-
People sometimes forget that we are real people on the end of these posts, wanting to help and putting the cats needs ahead of our own.
Just sayin' ...

You are right, I was just trying to think of a reason to explain the silence.
-
I just hope the cat is somewhere settled
-
MCs need a lot of attention
-
I have no response to my email or the pm and just dont understand whats going on, its so sad.
-
If she hadn't come online I'd understand but because she has and viewed the post and my profile I really don't get it
-
Nor me and your profile looks fine to me.
I signed both the email and pm I sent as moderator so she would know it was legit but.................
-
Well at least others might see I will take on a MC - they have to be neutered though or they will be - no breeding from me.
-
Keep the faith, Nikki. There may be a very good reason for this yet, and she may well still come to you. :grouphug:
But yes, now you've set your heart on a pal for the magnificent Wilburforce people will keep you in mind, I'm sure. Must admit when I was searching through the lost pet registers this morning (for another sad cause) I spotted a couple of MC listings and thought of you.
Meanwhile, there's still a cat here in need of rehoming. I hope Holliedale is OK and her cat has found her new home, safe and sound. :shify: If not, please come back? :oh well:
-
Possibly worth re-posting the guidance for using this "Urgent" page.

apoligises that i havent been able to reply have had problems with my tablet i could see emails and messages but couldnt get it to send replys :-[ i reallyppreciate everyone trying to help, but thankfully now its all been resolved, she has gone to live with friends who have a beautiful young male maine coon as a companion for him and i have to say before anyone jumps to conclusions he is neutered, i have been involved with ragdolls and mainecoons for many many years, including showing, rescue and am fully aware of the care and attention required by these breeds and many others. This has been one of the hardest things i have ever had to do, i have never had to rehome one of my own. I have been involved in many rehabilitation cases, mainy dogs. And its alway hard when they find there forever home and i have to say goodbye, but i thought my girl would be here for life, i miss her terribly already but i know she has the very best home for life, plus i get visitation rights lol! Thanks again to everyone and sorry i couldnt get to reply sooner xx
-
Gosh, I'm so pleased you've found a suitable home for her :)
Apology accepted, Holliedale. Sometimes things are just out of your control.
Nikki, I guess we can close this off.
Moderator, please move to "Sorted" now?
-
:) Thanks for the update and glad things are sorted, I'll move this now,
