This old chap is a stray and annoying the lady who's door he turned up as. Despite having her own cat she is not impressed with him and wants rid - though she has fed him a couple of times. Petsearch informed. He is a walking bag of bones so either locked in a shed for a while (allotments) or thyroid or something else or all of the above. Like everyone else , we are full, full, full and it stresses me that the poor old man is ravenous and wants in somewhere.

Angie, any idea what he`s like with other cats? Or cat-friendly dogs?
My foster-oldie is going this week to her new home, so might be able to squeeze him in if you`re desp. Could go in the spare room for a bit until he`s settled. Ring me if you need to.

Thanks to Nicky, AKA lilyandgary,( one of our new fosterers) I am picking him up this afternoon.
He will be vet checked and she will be fostering him.
permanent home still required if we cannot trace owners.
-
Nice one Angie and Nicky for helping with this furbabe! ;) :hug:
Positive vibes for the vet check and future rehoming! Best of luck! :hug:
-
That's great news ;D so pleased that Nicky is fostering him, lots of luck at the vets :hug:

vet thinks not 'oldie' but youngie between 2 - 4 years.
Now with Nicky.
-
poor lad - probably starving rather than thyroid then
Nicky will soon have him fattened up :Luv2:
-
Aw bless him, glad he's found a foster place with you guys, with love and care I'm sure he'll thrive :Luv2: :hug:

Ziggy - as Angie has called him, is currently curled up on the spare bed having eat a good meal of Orijon (leaving the tuna wet food!) He is very friendly and cuddly, and really would like to come out and meet the others - one little hiss at Lily earlier, who went to sulk on my bed with Uncle Freddie for company.
He is so thin you can feel his hips and ribs, and has that horrible "sticky" coat that strays so often have. I`m sure with good food and cuddles he will soon be looking and feeling a lot better.
-
Ziggy has settled in very well overnight. He currently tucked up on a fleecy blanket on a chair in the spare room with the radio on for company. He looks very cosy and at home up there.
He has eaten overnight and did have a quick look around upstairs this morning. He is very thin, and has no energy to speak of so will need feeding up for a while. Ziggy is so friendly and has obviously been in a home at some stage, but goodness knows when he last had a good meal.
-
how wonderful that he has a soft bed and good food now - doesn't sound as if he would have lasted too long when the colder weather comes
-
Great news :wow: please give Ziggy a little head rub from me :hug:
-
Here is Ziggy in all his glory -
He has come out of himself in the last week or so, and is very friendly and cuddly. He is now actively seeking food, and seems to have put on a bit of weight to me. I caught his washing the ears of Willow, a 13 week old foster kitten this afternoon. Willow was asleep on my lap and Ziggy decided to join him, giving him the once over first.
I do feel strongly he has been a pet at some time, he is so people friendly and obviously used to living in a household with all associated noises. The dog twitching in his sleep seems to puzzle him though!
-
What a wonderful picture of Ziggy, he looks so happy :Luv:im sure that he will blossom into a very handsome young man with all the tender care he will be getting now :Luv2: :hug:
-
Ziggy is so gorgeous, maybe he got out and got lost and nobody bothered looking for him :(
I bet he is going tobe a great big handsome boy ;D
-
Aw he is so handsome! :Luv2:
In our house our dog yelps in his sleep, or growls and the twiching is always.... The cats just ignore him lol! :hug:
-
By, Ziggy's a right little smasher! :wow: It's horrible to think of him being shut out with no place to call home, especially when he seems to be so friendly. Poor little guy. Hope he can get a first rate new home where he gets spoilt rotten. :hug:
-
He is just gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Just taken this one of the lad, and mailed it to Angie.
Ziggy now plays! He must be feeling so much better now he`s having good food.
-
What a smashing photo of Ziggy :Luv: he looks a 100 times better and im sure with your tender care he will continue to blossom bless him :Luv2:
-
He is absolutely gorgeous :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Would so love to give that boy a home but simply can't disrupt the current clan :(
I so hope someone finds permanent space for this handsome lad soon.
-
THats fantastic , I :Luv2: him ;D

After being with us for over a year, Ziggy was homed in October 2010.
I am currently waiting for him to be returned to me. Poor Lad. :(
His new owner is moving back in with parents and cannot take him. In Feb this year, poor Ziggy was put up on Gumtree FTGH and after a strong protest from us, we were told that the new owner had intended to go to ?Spain? to care for her poorly grand mother who subsequently died, so Ziggy won a reprieve.
There is a friend of the owner interested in Adoption and we had hoped to get everything in place before Ziggy needed to be moved, hopefully this will still happen but in he meantime he will be staying with me.
update: he has arrived looking wonderful and is not happy to be in the pen. Just letting him chill.
-
GRRRRRRRRrrr!!!! >:( >:( Poor Ziggy. I have to say I would live in a tent and eat grass rather than part with any cat I've been fortunate enough to own. And "free to good home.....?" C'mon. :shocked:
-
Poor boy and hope he gets a proper forever home :hug:
-
Oh that is so sad, glad he is with you and safe. :hug:
I wish i was able to adopt him.
-
just in case anyone here falls in love...
he is an indoor home only as he geot out and lost while at Nickys for a few weeks so we decided he is a cat with no sense of home and therefore should not be allowed out.
-
Poor boy :shy: Must be so confusing for him :( I hope he settles in at yours Angie and that the new home works out for him :hug:
-
Ziggy has gone to the friend of his previous minder who enquired about him. Did the HV on monday. Ziggy was absolutely delighed to be there, after having looked so depressed at mine and only leaving his blanky reluctantly for a quick fuss with me.
He strode around, tail high in the air offering his head for fuss. His new minders are under strict orders that they need to get in touch with us if it doesn't work out, but I hope for Ziggy's sake it does.
-
That's great news Angie, very pleased for him :)
-
Ah poor old lad, just caught up with this. Tons of luck for him, I hope he's really happy in his new home :Luv:
