"Oh hi I've got two cats that urgently need homing because I have children. I've had them for ten years but now I'm not letting them into the house. Can you rehome them urgently please, one of them's really scared of fireworks"
>:(
Don't worry it's sorted but I just wanted a moan.
-
Its Good to have moan only trouble is no one takes any notice when Moan :rofl: :rofl:
-
:censored:
That reallly irritates me, it is such a ridiculous excuse and it makes me so angry!!! >:(
-
I am sure it makes most on Purrs angry >:(
-
Gill's right....i'm steaming as per usual when I hear this type of pathetic excuse!
Reminds me of the :censored: I heard as to why my guys were under threat of PTS :censored: :censored: :censored:
Well done CS for getting them away from that undeserving :censored:. Even if there really was a genuine reason behind it, the email shows how throwaway these cats are to them >:(
at least these kitties will now get a loving forever home :Luv:
Any chance of some piccies for us to ahhhhhhhh over?

I thought this was one of Purrs People having a joke" if its not i think its very very Sad how could you get rid of your cats after 10 years, I have seven of my own cats and would never dream of it, They are my family.
-
These people don;;t deserve to have animals - i can never get the fact -either i am having a baby and the cats got to go / or the excuse below - .
Why ????
Why have :censored: :censored: :censored: kids if you are going to get rid of your pets ?
Why not re-home the flaming kids -they will be more trouble in the long run !

I had a call like that last week. She was covering all her bases so said she had moved from a house to a flat plus she had a 16 month old and she had to put the child first. She said the cats were weeing all over the place and wanted us to take them immediately. She had one of them for 5 years >:( I asked which branch and she said Sheppey. I told her to call them first and if she was stuck, they would go on our waiting list. We haven't heard from her as far as I know.
-
The kid was probably weeing all over the place too :rofl: :rofl: it has been known .
Couldn''t they rehome that !
-
No Ron. Purrs peeps do not joke about serious stuff like this :(
-
I wish people would stop using crap excuses like this and just say 'I dont want my cats anymore can you take them please?' - they might not go as high up on the list as toher cases, but at least they would be being honest with us. Things like this remind me of Tom and Tiger, both at the vets at the age of 13 for pts with no good reason, luckily for them, my vet knows I take in oldies. I am glad these two are sorted now.
-
I know its a bit different as I know that I don't want kids, but if I ever did fall pregnant, there is no way in the world I'd ever part with Max, or any future furbabe, to me Max is an integral part of my family and home.
It really does upset me so much when people use that as an excuse :'(
-
Just to reiterate that children and cats do mix together very well
-
Sorry I wasn't joking, just venting >:( .
Here's a happier story for you.
I was round and my friends' house on Saturday night. They have just had their second child (first is two years old) and they said the midwife was shocked when they said "No, the cat was here first, we intend to bring our kids up to respect her".
They're not 'crazy cat' people like us, just normal, responsible parents. Their two year old now plays really nicely with the cat who is incidentally quite old.
I'm not a big fan of kids but when you see really young ones having a genuine interest in an animal that goes beyond pulling tails it's very heartwarming.
-
Well this lucky pair have found a new home already, before I had chance to get pictures or anything!
Sorry to disappoint so here's one of our recent kittens instead

What annoys me even more is when 2 or 3 years down they line the same people phone and ask for a cat.
