Dobby was left at Blackpool Cats in Care in a sealed plastic box with a note reading "pregnant cat." Obviously, whoever left the box wasn't very knowledgeable regarding cats as Dobby turned out to be an entire male.
Dobby can be a little unpredictable, but it is felt with some patience that will become less and less frequent.
For any further information you might want, please contact Nicky via the email address listed on the Blackpool Cats in Care site. http://www.freewebs.com/blackpoolcatsincare/

Only just caught up with this thread. So many times in the past we have been called out to take in a female who is about to give birth in a garden and it has turned out to be a male with an 'hereditary pouch'.
I remember once very early in the morning I received a phone call from a lady who said she had seen a car hit a cat and had taken it inside her house so it does not go in the road again. She said she could see no signs of external injury but she said the cat was pregnant. Immediately I went to her house a few miles away. There was no obvious sign of injuries but as we all know we cannot take the risk that the little one did not have internal injuries. Anyway we got talking (as you do) and she gave me all the reasons why she could not keep the cat although she would love to. I cannot remember what the obvious signs were that the cat was hers but by then I knew it was. (I always ask in these cases, if the cat is yours please tell me as I will still help you but I will be able to find out more about the little one and its likes and dislikes, she denied all knowledge) She then signed over the cat to Cats Protection. I then picked up the little one as I was leaving she said ‘will you let me know when it has its kittens’, I replied , oh! It won't be it's a boy. Immediately she said I will keep it then if it is a boy, but I advised her that she had now signed it over to me and its owner may turn up and even if they didn't then because of the reasons she had given why she could not keep it, then it was in her interest to re-home it. Her face was a picture. On the way home I called in at the vets just to be in the safe said and the vet confirmed that the little one had certainly not had a meeting with a car. No surprise there then.

:evillaugh: Good for you! I can't understand people doing that; if you realise you simply can't cope or afford an animal, admit it. That way people can help.
Dobby is still looking sadly....poor black and white cats, always overlooked aren't they?
-
:(
-
Positive rehoming vibes for darling Dobby, bless he looks no bother at all and Im sure would fit straight into a loving home! :Luv2: :wish:
-
Dobby is also still looking. :doh:
-
:( No luck for Dobby yet? I keep seeing his picture up there poor fella
-
Nope, still looking. Must be coming up for a year by now, poor lad.
-
:(
-
Aw! That is such a long time, More positive vibes for this gorgeous guy~~~~~~~ :wish:
-
Dobby is still looking....
-
Aww come on there must be someone out there for him :Luv2:
-
Crazy isn't it? He and Mia have been there so long now it's untrue. Mia is a bit of a madam, but as far as I know Dobby's a good lad.
-
I know such a long time now :(
-
More luck to the lovely lad! :Luv2: :hug:
-
I know its very sad :( I think every cat is pretty, it's not the colour which brings this prettyness out, it's the personailty of the cat. I have 2 black n white's and they are the most loveable cats :Luv2:
Come on you onlookers, someone out there must have a place in their heart for Dobby, and you could also change his name if you like ;)
Isnt "Dobby" from Harry Potter films?
-
It is yes - he's the house elf.....
I would love to think Dobby could have a loving home by Christmas, but it's unlikely.
-
JS how old is Dobby?
-
I think he's around 7 Tan, sorry for butting in :shy:
-
I do believe he's about that - but will email Nicky for confirmation. ;)
-
Nicky thinks he's nearer four/five. Hope that helps, Tan. ;)
Here's the info:
dobbie is about 3-4 ? he was aggressive when he came as you know but he is nice now. he is a bit nervy sometimes and other cats do tend to go for him so best alone ?? he does live with other cats at the moment
-
Dobbie is still looking.
-
:(
Come on there must be someone out there for Dobby :)
-
You'd think....apparently, he's a friendly guy these days. :)
-
Any news on Dobby Jack?
-
He's still looking, CC. :(
-
Still looking.
-
Blimey, just checked when I posted this....Dobby is still looking. :(
-
Poor Dobby! hes got the face i adore and hes chunky too!! If my home circumstances were the right ones for him i wouldnt hesitate in giving him a home, he looks so cuddly!!
I cant believe he hasnt got a home yet when he looks so adorable!
-
It's mad I know!
-
Two years! :( Has he been able to stay with the same fosterer all that time?
-
Yup. Apparently he's really friendly now though - there had to be an upside. Bram's been there a while too and he's an oldie. :(
-
is he ok with other cats? my friend has recently lost her oldie so i will point her in this direction
-
I'm told Dobby (actually named Cliff...no idea why I was told Dobby! Unless Cliff's his pet name. We all do it...) is currently a bit of a habitual sprayer but affectionate. Didn't want to be dishonest about that.
I think he lives with other cats currently.
-
I wonder if the spraying was why he got dumped initially. :( He must have a loving/ understanding foster mum tho. Do you suppose the spraying is related to living with other cats?
-
It's definitely a possibility. Any new home would have to be prepared to persevere for a while to see if he adjusted.
New photo....
-
Such a shame for him- My moms cat still spays after years, it drives her mental as shes on a constant cleaning cycle but she still loves him, poor Dobbie looks so lovely there must be someone out there for him. :-[
-
;D Great to see that the title has been changed to homed! will move this now
-
Great news but really weird too. For no reason at all I was looking at this thread last night and wondering when he was going to get a home.
-
I'm so pleased he was waiting so long, wonder how he's doing?
