Hi everyone


Blimey its been a long while since ive been on here :scared: .......well basically i work for a rescue centre (charity) and we have a cat who is desperatly looking for a new home as im sure there are many out there in the same boat...but i was wondering would it be possible for me to place a picture and some details of the man himself and see if we get anywhere with him through this site hes been with us for so long and keeps getting overlooked :(

Any advice would be fantastic not done anything like this before so im realying on any tips  :innocent:  ;D

 :thanks:

Hi Bearess, there is a section on the forum for cats seeking homes. You can load up his details and pix there. Tell us his story, age, backgrounds, likes and disllikes, but most importantly, say in the title where he is in the whole of the country or you will get enquiries from Lands End to John o' groats

Do you have a CatChat link / page?  If not I would suggest your charity gets one then you can advertise all your special kitties.  Of course you can advertise your special boy on here as well   ;)

Print off some info on catchat, its very professional and well run, you could also print off the cats rehomed bit to show them how it works  ;)  Good luck

Hi ya,

You're right CatChat is a fabulous site and the service they provide to many of the smaller rescues is priceless.  So many cats have found a home as a result of appearing on the site ... cats that might normally have spent far too long at a rescue centre.  I really hope you are able to persuade your boss to take advantage of the service and get all your special little ones the forever home they so rightly deserve.

Good luck and keep us posted on how things go ;)
