We are currently trying to bring in around 100 pedigree cats from another cat rescue who are no longer able to operate. So far we have pulled in around 40 of the cats but still have a long way to go before the job is complete but due to limited space and finances we are only able to bring in so many at a time. We have a wonderful selection of a variety of pedigree cats from persians, norwegian forests, somalis, orientals and ragdolls who are all in good condition and all (well most) of them are under 5 years old. We will try and update our webpage as often as possible but if you are interested in giving a pedigree cat a second chance at a loving new home then you are best contacting Mel on her mobile and she can update you on what we have managed to bring in or what we are hoping to bring in next. It would be helpful if you had some knowledge of the breed that you are interested in as they can differ quite dramatically from your ordinary moggies... ie diet, grooming, socialising.
If you are seriously interested then please contact Mel on 07881642004

:Luv2: oh I wish I could have one :Luv2: but it would mean one less rescue space here
Well done for giving theses cats a chance :Luv2:

:-[
sorry its not us at covcats its Boldheath Rescue: 07881 642 004 (Boldheath • Warrington • Cheshire
Rehoming mainly in and around Warrington and Liverpool ) but they do sound desperate
-
Argh... i could make room for one more. :shy: Tis extremely tempting. :shy:
-
does anyone know if there are any plans to home outside the area? I see they have a deaf cat who likes other cats, and needs a home with an enclosed garden, which might be a possibility for me
but I am a long way away from Liverpool, and do not have transport
-
Why do i look ???
Lewis :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: gorgeous boy.
-
omg where are they all coming from - I'm well out of the area but wish her luck
-
I have spoken with the lady who has these cats - appararently they were taken from a breeder by the RSPCA, and were going to be pts so she stepped in and took the lot from them
I have told her I will take the deaf white cat if no-one else comes forward, but I hope someone does, as I have no idea how I'm going to get him down to me here
I may have to hire a car, which might mean someone else who lives between me and Cheshire could also make use of it if they could home another of these cats - just a thought
-
unfortunately I'm in the opposite direction but could help transport (I'm in Bucks) if she is homing outside the area
-
she didn't think a 3 hours or more journey down to me was a problem, Dawn, though the deaf cat is young and healthy, which makes a long journey not such an ordeal
I think most of them are fairly young though
-
I'm sure purrs can manage the usual relay - I'll get the engine warmed up!!
-
Again, I am out of area (Leicester) but will help with transport if you are able to rehome any in or behond my area.
-
I work in Warrington so could help with some transport if needed.
Why does it have to be near here, and also Oriental cats which I love - far too tempting! :Luv:
(At least if I help transport I can coo at the cats in the car :evillaugh: )
-
I'm very seriously considering ringing if there'd be any chance of help with transporting down here.... :shy:
-
I'm an oriental fan as well Dawn I was supposed to have two from Diddydawn but the poor girls had to be pts
-
Aww poor babies :( :(
Are you tempted by some of these little ones Dawn? Are you anywhere local to the rescue? :wow:
-
no I'm in buckinghamshire but am always tempted!!!!
-
Just a note to say Judith and me seem to have been phoning the same people this morining and have got a couple of the pedigree rescues involved, one being rushden persian and the other pedigree rescue north west (?).
Mel at Boldhead rescue says she will make some calls this evening when she has time and we have also offered to help with transport if we can, I think Mel said she had about 200 cats at the mo :Crazy: alogether which certainly puts us to shame!
Obviously, any offers of help are brilliant and I'll update thread with any info I get.
-
well deaf Ollie can certainly have a home with me if anyone can help with getting him here - but I'm afraid Warrington to deepest West Wales iwould be a challenge too far even for you wonderful people :(
-
nessa - why did I click on your link - I have tear stained eyes reading those stories - the poor paralised cat :( :( :( - I wish I could save all cats just swoop down pick them up and look after them.
I get so angry that people can do this to animals - ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO SO :censored: angry >:(
-
I can possibly help with transport from the rescue to the Staffordshire/Leciestershire/Derbyshire area if need be.
I am glad that Patsy at Rushdene has been contacted, she is a lovely woman and like the rest of us spoils her charges. I had Ben from there, my scottish fold and she did wonders with him. He was an RSPCA job as well.
OMG I am so tempted to shove over for just one more, but Ben was supposed to be my just one more. I saw his ickle face and that was it, just so in love.
Happy to help with transport, but if I fall in love with one on the way down I blame you lot!!

When we first got her the plan was to let her raise her babies and then decided what to do with her then....she was a fantistic mother it was then decided there was no way that such a cat with determation could be pts so it was then decided to put her on the sponsor programe and see how we went from there... she first came into the ACS well over a yr ago :Luv2:

Hi
Where is the link to see the cats that need new home .
ps don't all shout at once I am new and just come on lol so still finding my feet
-
:welcome: Dominiques, no problem! this is the link:-

When i rang a day or so ago. All the orientals have nomes they have several Perisans still. And the deaf Oriental as well... Most that they still have for rehoming are long haired..
-
I have told Mel I will have Oliver, the deaf Oriental, if no local home can be found for him - I have left her with my phone number, but will leave her to contact me
lord knows how I'll get him down here, but I will if necessary
-
they seem to be doing really well rehoming them which is great :)
-
We were contacted at the UKRCC to Help,We said we would but seems they don't need anyone's help as they haven't responded
-
I think she might be a bit overwhelmed by the response, and arranging a lot of home checks are proving to be a problem - it looks as if I will not be able to adopt the deaf cat because there is no one to do one where I am, which is a pity as I think I have solved the transport problem
-
Trigger may be put your appeal on to RHU as they have a wider base for homecheckers and may have someone in your area that you don't know about if the the transport is nearly sorted then cast your net wider for ahome check - I do home checks for dog rescues in England up her in Aberdeen just by word of mouth and all have got their doggies to so try crossposting even over to catchat etc someone must live near you to help this little babe
-
how does it work then, Liz? doesn't the present carer have to find her own person to do a home check?
there is a private rescue lady near me who has visited me many times, as I pass unwanted food and other cat stuff on to her - she puts cats on to CatChat occasionally - but if I passed her details on to Mel how would she know it wasn't just a friend of mine doing me a favour?
-
lots of rescues will accept a homecheck from another rescue if they aren't local - good luck!
-
As Dawn says most rescues would take another Rescues word and there is also a reference from your vet - some like both - I have always provided both to new rescues so they can see just how seriously i take my own and am probably worse with the rescues animals when I do checks - hence the fact my dogs are bought rather than rescues - I failed my own fences!!!!!!
You would be surprised how many folks do homechecks for other rescues and for dogs, cats and other furries
-
:thanks: bot of you
well, Mel who has these pedigree rescues was going to ring me back in 10 minutes - that was 2 hours ago, so I think I will just have to leave it up to her now
I didn't know about the RHU site, though, and I see there is a volunteer home checker living near me, so will bear her in mind - and as vets visit once a year for vaccinations they may be suitable as a reference
I found a lady who does long distance pet courier service - have asked ClaireR is she knows of her, as she is based in Manchester area and does some work for local CP
not cheap but would allow me to consider a rescue from another area if another likely candidate crops up
-
I am a member of the RHU site and have been for sometime now it is good because other rescues can help each other out with home checks,transporting,etc etc. I don't know what kind of cat you are looking for Tigger but if its a pedigree you might want to try applying to us at the UKRCC we mostly have ragdolls but also get other pedigree cats coming in to. We re home all over the UK and have many volunteers that live all over the UK.If you wish to apply for a cat from us then fill in the on line form here http://ukrcc.co.uk/question.php . Also try looking at all the other pedigree cat rescues here http://www.catchat.org/adoption/pedigree.html
-
I don't care at all about pedigree - but because I live in a very tiny cottage I cannot seperate a new cat from my two incumbents
so I am basically looking for a youngish healthy cat who isn't nervous about meeting other cats, has no serious behavioural problems, and who would appreciate the use of an enclosed garden - this is why the deaf cat seemed a good candidate
-
Most pedigree cats have to stay inside or go into an enclosed garden and this is more so with ragdolls as lets just so they don't have the fears of moggies and most would walk off with anyone that was nice to them.The reasons cats come into us is for all sorts of reasons and some are perfectly healthy etc so its worth filling in the form if this cat doesn't work out. We will look at what type of cat would suit you best and will match the right cat to you. if you want to see what cats we have in at the moment then take a look here http://ukrcc.co.uk/adoptions.php . We are getting so many come in just lately so keep checking that page. good luck with your search for the puurfect kitty :hug:
