Just had a text off Nicky and the poor girl really needs homes for some of the cats in her care - can anyone think of other places to post? I currently post on here, CatChat, Rescue Helpers Unite, Pet Rescue UK and have the site. Not sure where else I could put the information.
-
Just an idea, but I recently found someone who wanted two kittens by posting that a home was needed on my Facebook status, if all of us with facebook accounts post details something like:
Does anyone know someone looking for a lovely cat ......... etc etc.
It worked for me
I know it is not a brilliant idea but it may work, one comment on my facebook goes out to 200+ friends so if we all do it we would cover a lot of people in a short period of time.
-
I do that regularly Daisy, but with cats in my area. I made a Blackpool Cats in Care facebook page.
-
I don't mind doing that. I'm originally from the Stoke on Trent area and alot of my 200+ friends on facebook are from that area and also Warrington/Manchester as that's where our other office is, so not too far away from Blackpool really. Although maybe a bit too far for home-checks?
-
If a home check is particularly difficult, Nicky does allow vet references stating the quality of care given to previous pets. If a kitten is too young to be spayed or neutered, she requests proof to be sent to her place of work after the operation has taken place.
-
OK, I'll stick it on my facebook too then.

Thanks. :)
Managed to talk to someone at the Blackpool Gazette today and they've agreed to run an article. :)
-
Also go big and try calling someone like 'The One Show' that is on every evening, they sometimes do appeals for animals, I know Paul O'Grady does appeals for dogs needing homes on his show but I dont know if he is on at the moment.
I can help you make up a flyer if you like just let me know. If Nicky does re-home out of area then maybe all of us on here cant print out a copy of the flyer and take it to our local Pet Shops and vets so it covers a wide area.

Already contacted the Paul O Grady show; no response. (When he was on.)
Will look up the One Show and find contact details.
EDIT: Emailed. :)

Oo that should get to a few peeps locally! ;D
Ive contacted the Paul O'Grady show before about rabbits, thought it would of pulled on a heart string cos of him losing his own to that terrible mix. (you know the rest!) Unfortunately no response also! :tired:
-
What a worry it must be :(
I would think there are lots of people contacting P O'G, a rescue not too far from me was on there the other month (I missed it not knowing it was on but later saw on the website)
-
Jack can I suggest you put a link on the cats for rehoming posts you make to Nickys site please. I found who "Nicky" is by reading through your old posts but would make it easier for newbies like me if you could
Thanks

I suppose that would work. :) There is a link to Blackpool Cats in Cares site in the "links" section though.
