Contact/organisation details: I am fostering for Furry Friends in Old Coulsdon. Please PM me on here or call Emma on 020 8407 1080/0797 356 9371.
Does the animal have rescue back up?: Yes
Location: Caterham/Old Coulsdon SURREY
Number of groups:1
Group:1
Number of animals:1
Type/Breed/Variety: Scottish Fold Cat
Sex: male
Age(s): Approx 12 years old.
Name(s):Wilfred
Colours: Black
Neutered:Yes
Reason for rehoming: Saved from being euthanased after being found as a stray and assessed as too old to rehome. Wilfred is a cat flu carrier meaning that he cannot be vaccinated as it brings cat flu out in him. He therefore has to go as a housecat.
Will the group be split: N/a
Transport available: Within reason
Other: Wilfred does not like other animals, but adores children!
Here is Wilfred :)

(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh49/anna_t_2007/Cats/wilf.jpg) He loves children!

Hi Anna, welcome to Purrs. :) I know Emma after taking on a couple of spinies about three years ago - she works hard, bless her.
Wilfred is lovely. :Luv:

Ah yes all those spinies :) She does work hard and we are planning for the arrival of 800 mice soon! Its all go here!
-
poor Wilfred! I know how he feels my Oscar is a flu carrier that can't have jabs either
-
Aw Wilfred looks lovely :Luv2:
-
He looks a poppet! Love the pix.
-
OMG he's so like my Schui even with the dribbly nose just adorable :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Mr Wilf is still looking for a home. Please don't overlook him because of his age, colour or condition. He is such a lovely cat, he just wants cuddles and a full tummy <3
-
:Luv: I think Wilf is gorgeous and keeping fingers crossed for him xx
-
He looks a complete dude. Sadly, I can't really afford to take on any more otherwise I'd be trying to talk my partner round. :) Hope Wilfs ideal home turns up soon.
-
Wilfred has been with us for about 5 months now waiting for his forever home.
-
:( Fingers crossed he gets some interest soon xx
-
Wilfred is still here. I just thought I would explain a little about his illness as it is likely to put people off.
Wilfred is on no long term meds. The only thing that he needs is a course of antibiotics if he becomes snotty which is only rare.
This lad has so much love to give and will repay his new owners in tenfold for giving him a loving home.
-
Still? Poor Wilf; and he looks so lovely.
-
Aww I'm so surprised he's still waiting I love black cats and Scottish Folds, I've adopted a few old kitties similar to Wilf with dribbly noses and I think he's adorable, I'd love to adopt Wilf myself if I could have another. Maybe taking longer to rehome because he has to be an only cat? I'm keeping fingers tightly crossed for him xx

yes we were all hoping someone would be able to offer him the loving home he needs. Shame he doesn't like other cats or I could have rehomed him loads of times by now! :(

I was going to suggest a breed rescue but can't find one for the Scottish Fold! :Crazy: Not even a breed association. :scared:
There is Posh Puss rescue who seem to handle ALL pedigrees so maybe they'd help with publicity? :sneaky:
-
scottish fold isn't recognised by gccf because of health issues so that might be why there isn't an assocation not sure - wishing wilfred luck!

I know its sad. If people could pass the word round or cross post, Wlifred and I would be so grateful.

I put him on my Facebook and a guy thought he was adorable but he works all the hours God sends by the sound of it and was worried that he'd not be around enough for Wilfred to get the attention he should.

Thats a shame. If he is interested then put him in touch and perhaps Emma could have a chat with him. Her numbers are 020 8407 1080 or 0797 356 9371. Thank you for putting him up for us :)
-
Is he scottish fold? Could he have suffered a haematoma (sp)
-
Have passed on the numbers. :)
-
We have someone going to Leeds next Friday who is happy to transport, so get in touch if you are interested :)
-
I don't think it's going to happen sadly. I passed on the information though. I do like this old guy a lot, he looks like such a wonderful personality.
-
Unsurprisingly Wilfred is still waiting for his forever home
-
We have transport going to Portsmouth on the 21st of this month. If anyone down that way can offer a home, please get in touch!
-
awww is he still waiting :(
-
sadly so :(
-
Please dont be put off if you are far away. We will put out transport appeals to get him to the right home.
-
Wilfred is still looking.
-
I know poor boy :(
-
I got some new photos :D up soon <3
-
Unfortunately we are not able to appeal for transport for Wilfred now. This is because we have found out he does not travel well at all and becomes very stressed. He cannot be sedated because of his breathing problems. He is ok to go short distances, but he cannot go far.

Aww that's a shame, I do think he's gorgeous, isn't it funny how some cats you just have a soft spot for and Wilf is mine :Luv2: If I didn't have 2 cats and he liked other cats and could travel......
keeping fingers tightly crossed for him xx
-
I do hope he gets a new home soon, he's lovely.
-
Now homed! Patience is a virtue :)

:wow: I was just thinking about Wilf today (because I thought we'd not heard from you for a while) I'm soooooo pleased for him - thought secretly wish he was mine :evillaugh: :Luv2:

We are so pleased here! :D
-
I'll lock and move this now, any updates we'd love to hear if possible ;D please pop a thread in cats stories :hug:
