Hi
We have rehomed Bilbo and Frodo with us but I understand Angel is still looking for a home.
She's a beautiful little cat but unfortunately has a misaligned jaw which makes it hard for her to groom herself. Therefore an experienced long hair owner would be better for her. I understand a quieter house might be preferable for her as she likes company but Bilbo and Frodo were a little much for her at times (hence why she hasn't come with them!).
You can see more about her at www.rainrescuecats.org.uk including lovely pics. Here's the summary from the site:
"Angel is a pretty six year old with a sad history. She was the only surviving kitten in her litter when their mother died giving birth to them. She's a very petite cat - her size suggesting more that she's six months rather than six years old. She's a friendly little thing who loves to sit with you and have some attention. Her jaw is slightly misaligned which makes it difficult for her to groom herself properly - though she tries hard to do so. Sadly this coupled with neglect over recent months meant her coat was one huge mass of matted fur when she came into foster care, and she's had to be clippered all over apart from her head and her lovely fluffy tail.
Angel has been spayed and micro-chipped. We understand she's lived with children and dogs in the past. She's been a little uneasy with one of the other cats whilst in foster care - though no serious difficulties. She needs to be an indoor cat, and would need a home where her needs for help with grooming are understood so she doesn't have to suffer the discomfort of having such a badly matted coat again.
She's had a health check and seems fine apart from a tooth that Rain will sort out before re-homing."
Thanks!
Donna

Can i ask what the rehoming fee is for Angel? I really would love to offer her a home although I would need someone to help transport her as i dont have transport at present. If it is a larger sum of between £150 to £200 then i need about a fortnight to raise the cash amount. I know the fact that i have children can be a put off to some rescues but they really are lovely kids and not violent etc towards animals( i wouldnt tolerate that obviously) Grooming isnt an issue, It is something i could deal with and enjoy daily plus my house is quite large so as an indoor pussy she would have plenty of space to roam or find a corner to sleep in if the downstairs noise (birdies) becomes too much. georgia currently prefers the girls room and has adopted the fluffy loveheart rug. I am kinda obsessed with Angels beautifull face and keep going back to the rescue site to sneak a peak.
If a birmingham member wants to come and homecheck they are very welcome- :wow:
my youngest daughter starts school in september so daytime noise will be less mon-fri although tbh Georgia sulks now when oldest goes out and generally sleeps till they all come back home!

Hiya kittensmittens - I'm not sure what the fee would be. Your best bet would probably be to send an email via the form on the www.rainrescuecats.org.uk website or email Maggie at info@rainrescuecats.org.uk. I don't actually work with the shelter, I'm just trying to spread the word as I'm pretty smitten with Angel myself (and a bit gutted that she couldn't come with the boys :(). Would love to know how she gets on though.

I will do that Donna and ask them directly. can i ask did you get to meet her and is she as angelic as her name? shes adorablely cute! :Luv2:

I haven't met her I'm afraid but I understand she's an absolute superstar :)

She's a sweetie ..... but not exactly "angelic" ...... she IS a cat when alls said and done.

I refuse to believe you :rofl:
Im saving some pennies so will contact about her when i have enough- If she is still available then it was meant to be :Luv2:

Angel went off to her new home earlier today. Thanks for all the interest on here - but we're really pleased to have found her somewhere closer to home. The couple who have adopted her seem well ready to adore her and tend to her every fluffy whim. I'm sure she'll have a lovely life with them.

you dont know how relieved i am to hear that- i was crying earlier over her :(- read my other post for reason!

i'm sorry it turned out that it wasn't "meant to be" mittens. i know you were smitten. she'll be very happy where she is. she was horribly upset in the car - even though it was only about 5 minutes drive to get there. she'd have been in quite a state by the time we'd got her down to birmingham. soon as she was in the house she started settling herself in and worming her way into everyone's affections. when i left she was settled on the settee.

sorry quoted wrong post there :Crazy:
I think anyone would be taken in by Angels adorable little face , I am soooo glad she has found a good home at last- i bet she is being treat like a princess :Luv2:
Im glad someone did want her as i felt so sorry she had the jaw problem, it must be frustrating for her poor girl.
hopefully her new owners may come on here with updates and pics :wow:
it must be so hard too to be a fosterer and then send them on but knowing they have found a permament home at last is the reward i guess xx
