how interesting - another thing learned. In Oz they cut off your service and leave a message saying that the number is unobtainable. But following a few nasty incidents, they now leave you access to emergency services so that you can get help if needed, but can't keep running up bills ...

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #26 on:** February 23, 2008, 10:30:57 AM »

Well, JS and I have both written to this lady to express and interest so hopefully we can get an alternative number.

We have a track record of problems with phone bills from time to time. All part of lifes great tapestry!

But they tend to block outgoing calls for a couple of weeks, then if you fail to pay the block goes on incoming as well. It could be a payphone but it could also be an old number and they haven't updated their membership details.

If the line is shut off because of non payment then you won't get a message at all. What does happen is that providers will stop calls being made but not received. This sounds like a pay phone.

sounds like they forgot to pay the phone bill!!! and have done so on more than one occasion ...

I dont think is about not paying bills, some of the public phones give this message out!

YOu should ask the operator to check the number they can tell you if its a phone box or something wrong with the line.

JS, if you give them a ring and I'll sort something out.

Just called and got the message "this number does not receive incoming calls."

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #21 on:** February 23, 2008, 09:02:22 AM »

Yes, Dawn. Only by email, though.

She didn't mention it was another breeder interested in this puss, but I can't see another motivation for someone travelling a long way to get her. It's not like there's a shortage of B&W cats, is it?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #20 on:** February 23, 2008, 01:00:44 AM »

Julie, have you been in contact with the woman who's got the cat? It would be a shame if someone got her to breed from her

JackSpratt · « **Reply #19 on:** February 22, 2008, 22:06:55 PM »

So who can meet Dawn halfway? I'll happily call if we can organise someone to collect the young lady. (I don't drive and live a train ride away from Sheffield.)

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2008, 21:54:18 PM »

A little birdy has told me that puss is still up for grabs. No payment being asked for. There is another person interested but too far away and having trouble arranging transport - not sure if this is another breeder or not.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2008, 18:20:59 PM »

Thanks hun

JackSpratt · « **Reply #16 on:** February 22, 2008, 18:15:22 PM »

Phone number acquired and message being sent.

Thanks DD. I just saw the photo and really felt for her.

pappilon · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2008, 17:07:46 PM »

Oh she looks lovely, poor little girl. What is the matter with people ? Today i went to 2 pet shops to see if i find Nature Menu and they both had signs for kitten wanted

. In second shop i asked the girl if they selling kittens and she said in March we will have loads but you need to put your name in waiting list cos as soon as they come people buy them! Waiting list

I told her i didnt want a kitten just wanted to know why there is a sign for kitten wanted cos that encourage every one to breed

, she couldnt care.!!!

Dawn, Boy and Phoebe are happy to donate some of thier money as well to wards this little one, hope you can help her.

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2008, 14:47:23 PM »

DD

You are one in 5 million

(If needed I'll make a small donation toward her - my kitties will give up some of thier pocket money)

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2008, 14:16:40 PM »

I'll still have less than what I had a few weeks ago so it's not too bad. I've also still got a couple of homechecks to do as well and I've also got a home lined up for Abigail once she's been spayed. If I hadn't done well on the rehoming lately, I wouldn't have been able to take her as I've got a possible feral due in later as well

A guy trapped him last night and he's in the vets today being neutered, I'm hoping he's going to be a "nice" tom but won't know til I get him

Dawn F · « **Reply #12 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:58:39 PM »

hope you can get her dd, but you must be running out of room!!

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:49:43 PM »

I would just hate her to end up in the wrong hands and Sheffield isn't too far.

Mark · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:48:39 PM »

You are an angel

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #9 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:42:14 PM »

Even if someone in the Manchester area could pick her up, I can always collect from there but it would have to be evening.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #8 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:39:21 PM »

Message sent to the person who has membership so should be able to contact the seller.

Hopefully we'll be able to sort something out.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #7 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:38:15 PM »

Thanks hun, let me know if you hear anything.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #6 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:34:47 PM »

I can't access them - the advert needs to be a week old unless you're a member. I remembered someone joining a little while ago to contact another person regarding a cat ad, so I'll look through old threads until I find out who and ask them to contact the seller. (I can't really call them anything else, in view of their treatment if this young lady.)

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #5 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:21:02 PM »

If someone can get her and meet me part way, I'll take her. Have you got the contact details JS?

Gail Bengal Slave · « **Reply #4 on:** February 22, 2008, 13:10:30 PM »

Disgusting

Poor little girl - she looks a stunner. This little lady deserves the best home ever.

If i started breeding (which I wont) I wouldn't rehome Thai no a chance in hell.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #3 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:54:21 AM »

I know. Not sure how old she is but I wouldn't think she's that old really. Poor little thing - bet she's still unspayed too.

blackcat · « **Reply #2 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:45:16 AM »

strange. when I started breeding pedigrees, I kept my moggies ... hardly a supportable excuse really, and as you say, that is one heck of a large litter for a lovely wee kitty to have to raise ...

JackSpratt · « **Reply #1 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:38:32 AM »

Found this advert today-

"I have a black and white female cat to rehome through no fault of hers at all. I'm just breeding pedigrees now so do need to rehome her ASAP.

http://static.preloved.co.uk/uploads/userphotos/192668.jpg"

Sorry, would post the picture, but our PC isn't saving any pictures.

Can anyone help? It looks suspicously like she was used as a kitten machine until the person who had her realised they could get more money for pedigrees.
