Title: Belle NOW HOMED!!!
Post by: Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) on February 19, 2009, 11:24:42 AM
Belle
Gorgeous white and black female looking for a permanent home
I'm Belle, a pretty and confident girl looking for a home with a garden. I'm very friendly and love to play and be fussed but will gently let you know when it's time to stop!! All I want is somewhere to call home where I know I will be safe and dry and not need to worry about moving on again, as through no fault of my own I've had quite a few homes. If you can offer me a home please call. I'm living with a very kind fosterer at the moment but desperately want somewhere to call my own.

She will make someone a very lovely companion but would like to be an only pet in an adult home. She HATES other cats so would really like to live in an area where there is a low-cat population as seeing other cats is what can unsettle her. She is fine with everything else and is so sweet, friendly and playful.

Yes, it is Pudding but with a new girlie name and a more slimline physique she is doing so well... she really is a different cat now so has her own her thread to prove it!

 :'( Sadly, even after being told all about Belle's quirks. She spent 10 minutes with her and said 'she's not friendly enough' to have. What a shame but we will keep routing for you Belle. We will find you a home soon honey. I'd rather know in advance though than have her homed and then bounce back as they would really be a set back for her.

What a pity. Seems a bit of an assumption for her to make after only 10 minutes too. Never mind- the forever home is just around the corner. Fingers crossed.

:'( Sadly, even after being told all about Belle's quirks. She spent 10 minutes with her and said 'she's not friendly enough' to have.

Belle's precisely the sort of pud I'd want to bring home and make 'friendly' with my love and care, but there you are.  A better home awaits...

I'm sure a perfect home is just around the corner, and this is where she will blossom  :Luv2:

Shame her home didn't work out - she is very much like Kizzy, both in looks and temperament.
Title: Re: Belle
Post by: Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) on March 08, 2009, 12:45:13 PM
Oh poor Belle! We have even given her a half a page spread in a newspaper and still noone wants to home her. It really is such a shame. I think her main problem is that the people who are experienced with cats and realise that all she needs is patience, already have their own cats! She needs a quiet home on her own with someone who has lots of love and patience to give her. She really is a lovely cat, just very strong minded.
If any of you know anyone who could be a home for her then I would love to know!

i feel the same way.  i think she's beautiful and would happily give her a home if the circumstances were right.  where is she situated?

She's with a fosterer in Caterham in East Surrey at the moment.

Belle is gorgeous and you are right in that many people who would happily home her already have cats of their own but I am sure there will be someone just right for her soon.

This is so sad, but her home will come xx
Title: Re: Belle
Post by: Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) on March 12, 2009, 13:36:32 PM
Belle's going to be moving to a fosterer at our neighbouring branch Crawley and Reigate. She will still technically be our cat but I'm hoping a new environment and some different potential adopters (they are a much bigger branch than us) will hopefully find her a home. Fingers crossed
Title: Re: Belle
Post by: Mark on March 19, 2009, 19:31:04 PM
Fingers crossed for her  :Luv2:
Title: Re: Belle
Post by: Kay and Penny on March 19, 2009, 19:43:42 PM
there's some wealthy folk living around that area, and perhaps if someone had a big enough house she could go to someone who already had a cat

Loads of luck for that dear girl  :hug:

Such a shame she is still waiting  :( - She looks like a lovely cat  :Luv2:
Title: Re: Belle
Post by: Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) on March 31, 2009, 20:35:27 PM
She is a nice cat but does need a very special, experienced owner who she can learn to trust. She didnt' end up going to the neighbouring branch in the end... long story but we thought we had a home and then didn't. She's still in our care but we have got to over our 16 week maximum now before we move her on so am having one last advertising boost then she will go to the Nation Cat Adoption centre. I am sure they will be able to give her a bit of extra support and then as they have so many people go to view cats there, I am sure they will home her.

Although I am sad we haven't found a home for her, we really have done everything we can. (Radio, weekly posters all over the area, putting her out on network for homes from other branches, half a page spread in local newspaper, internet. etc etc) Cause she takes a while to trust people and show her real self, and due to the fact she can't be with children, dogs or other cats along with being nippy means that anyone who has viewed her hasn't seen past her issues. I have no doubt the right owner is out there and she is so deserving, we just have to keep looking.

Wherever Belle's ideal mum/dad is hiding... please come out and show yourself!

Post by: Janeyk on March 31, 2009, 20:51:11 PM
I do keep looking up there and thinking about her  :( it's such a shame she is still waiting but her forever loving home is out there I am sure it will be worth the wait.

After 5 and a half months..... Belle goes to her new home on Friday!!! Trying to just hold my breath until she's actually in her new home... I have my fingers crossed nothing goes wrong at this point.

I am just soooo hoping all goes as planned. The viewing happened tonight which is where things have gone wrong before so am REALLY hoping this is it for our Belle/ Pudding! She so deserves it and I am so pleased for her fosterers who have become so (over)attached to her. They are over the moon that she's found a nice home with an experienced lady where she can be the only pet.

experienced owners without an incumbent must be few and far between, so here's hoping this is the home Belle has been waiting for

Belle has now gone to her forever (we hope!) home! I can not even tell you how pleased we all are. 5 and a half months in care (even though indoor fosterer with run of whole house so like a home) is far too long for any cat. She's now called Daisy and I am soooo happy for her.  :Luv2:
