Title: Silver tabby rescues.
Post by: JackSpratt on May 20, 2009, 23:19:10 PM: Does anyone know where I can find a list of them? Have been asked to see if there are any rescues needing a new home.

That's right Desley there are Chinchillas also as I did see this http://www.cat-society-chinchilla.org.uk/rescue.htm
but I was thinking JS meant moggies ie as your 'general tabby'?

Post by: Rosella moggy on May 21, 2009, 20:46:17 PM: I very much hesitate to mention pussycat Rosella's babies JS :shify: as I think one of them looks to be a silver tabby. Obviously it will be a while before they are ready for rehoming. Have to say Teresa is gonna take some convincing methinks about potential owners for that little lot and I can't say I'm ever that impressed with people insisting on silver tabbies. Oh dear am I being too protective over those little uns? If I am, can you blame me? :innocent:

It does say silver on the write up and that's why I pasted it although looks to have a brown tinge to it.

Nope, I tend to be the same. I think deciding on a specific colour generally doesn't work out anyway. I was informed they've "always had silver tabbies" and that's why they want another. The Bacardi cat is the type they mean I think.
