Title: Elderly cat needs rehoming in Ramsgate, Kent (Uknown Outcome)
Post by: Mark on July 15, 2009, 14:01:25 PM

I had a message on the line this morning from a lady in Suffolk. Her brother in Ramsgate died recently leaving a cat. A neighbour tried to help out by taking the cat but after 3 weeks, she said the cat doesn't get on with her other 3 and wants the sister to take the cat. The sister said she can't take it as she has a guide dog and can't risk taking a cat. I tried phoning a nearer branch (Dover) they said they would normally help someone in Ramsgate but are closed to intake due to an outbreak of Herpes & Chlamydia and have already lost 3 kittens. They have no fosterers as yet (They are quite a new branch) and are in the process of having pens erected in gardens. They said they rescued a kitten from under the boardwalk in Ramsgate at 1am on Saturday.

I have given her 4 numbers of small independent rescues from the list on catchat. I also phoned Rhodes Minnis who are willing to put the cat on their waiting list even though they (like us) are over 20 miles away - they said the wait will be 4 - 5 weeks. The lady said the situation is desperate as the neighbour said she wants the cat gone.
