and i could not bear to See it PTS poor little Babe, 
Sadly I know the feeling only too well ,we are the same if we know about a cat there is no way it will be PTS unless it is terminally ill and suffering of course.

I hate these types of phone calls......my vets always put me on a guilt trip if I say I can't take them  :'(  I had one the other week, she's only 3 years old, the owner took her in to be pts as she wasn't 100% with her litter tray  :censored:  :censored:  I was in the vets anyway but in the waiting room so I didn't know what was happening until the vet nurse called me in........the owner was adamant she would not take the cat home with her, she'd made her mind up and that was it even though I tried to suggest other ways of helping her  :censored:  :censored:

If you want Ron, I can put a plea out for you but let me know asap.

Hi.....have just joined this site.
Whereabouts is this cat? I'm in Reading.
Lost my cat about 6 weeks ago after having him for 14 years.........would really like to re-home an older cat

Hi, 

the poor thing

I wish I could help bu have 2 oldies of my own and anyone considering adopting oldies good on ya - it can have a few more downsides (but not necessarily) but it's so worthwhile.

Helen, like you we had our first 2 cats for 14 years, decided to adopt oldies thereafter and never looked back!  infact we travelled down S from Yorkshire last year and adopted 22yr old Byron.

HI Helen

 :welcome: to Purrs.

Sorry to hear you lost your babe. What was his/her name?

If ya ring Ron at his Rescue on 01273-422721, he will be able to tell you more about this little one. He is in Brighton.

xx
Title: Re: Urgent home Needed
Post by: Helen on March 24, 2007, 12:06:15 PM
Thanks for the welcome Tan  :thanks:

My little sweetie was called Jess,he was ginger and white. He had lived out in a barn before I got him and he settled into home life with no problems whatsoever,no accidents etc!

He grew up with my sons (now teenagers) and put up with all the little children/disabled children i used to care for. He was so good with all of them and passed away too soon  :(

Unfortunately Brighton is too far away as i have no transport but I will keep looking for the right cat!
Title: Re: Urgent home Needed
Post by: Tan on March 24, 2007, 12:42:47 PM

You did take her, didn't you?

Yes I did and she's gorgeous.  Her name is Jasmine, she's a beautiful black/white girl and spends all her time cuddled up on my sons bed......I couldn't leave her, the vet said she didn't want to put her to sleep but she'd have to if I didn't have her.  I told the vet the woman was a hard faced cow........I was so annoyed about her attitude with her  :censored:  :censored:

Thanks Des  :hug:  I'm just going to do the homecheck for Midge and Morris so fingers crossed..........just had a cry but I'll blame that on Candice  :-[  I've been fine all day but thinking about it too much really upsets me, I know they'll be fine but it will be hard on them for a few days.

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 24, 2007, 18:29:20 PM
Aww - but they can go to a fab new home, and be spoilt rotten, giving you more space to help the next needy one, and that is what it is all about, we can't keep them all, as we would quickly have no more space to help an urgent case. These have had your TLC and ready for that next stage now

I know all that Des but it doesn't make it any easier........I think it's going to be hardest on Morris as he's such a little baby and he loves his mummy, I just hate to think of them upset and worrying about what's happening but in saying that, it probably hurts me more than it hurts them  :'(  :'(
Title: Re: Urgent home Needed
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 24, 2007, 18:36:53 PM
They might be a bit upset for a couple of days, but I doubt they will be worrying about what's happening. They might end up being more curious about it.

This is one of those where we've got two conversations going on at once, so I'll bump my post to offer help for Lost Cats Brighton's little three-legged cat under imminent threat of PTS...

Thanks all......this seems a lovely site   :)

I have sent Ron a message asking for more info on this little cat.......shame I'm so far away tho.

Hi Helen

I'm going to be brutally frank here - I'd be doing this for the little three-legged cat, not for you, bless you  :Luv: so it would be no trouble, especially as I was thinking of swinging by Lost Cats Brighton anyway in the not too distant...

Have a chat with Ron and let's take it from there.

I'm in Fulham so between the two of you.

Helen

I know you dont drive but Angie at the Coventry recue group has a wonderful cat Smokie whi I think is about 10years old and hates other cats but just adores humans, Smokie was being fostered by Ellie but could not continue cos it was causing may probs with her cats.

So if you are needing another cat cos this one is not available then Smokie needs a home desperately and is agorgeous oldie. I am sure that Angie would find a way of getting Smokie moved if needed.

I will try and find the thread for you and post again

Forever if this cat is near you are you going to take it on? I think you were looking into it?
Title: Re: Urgent home Needed
Post by: ccmacey on March 25, 2007, 17:34:53 PM
Yes that was me who mentioned it Helen, had a look through the ads but cant find it.

Think the cat was being rehomed because owner was pregnant, or had allergies? Cant remember but something like that. The cat was an older cat aswell with 3 legs.

Obviously I'm a little disappointed but not deterred! Found another "oldie" who looks gorgeous......term ends this week so as I'm at home over the school holidays I may further this...... www.tvaw.org.uk/Adoption.htm

She is and I do so love oldies. I have one here at the moment, Predominately white who has, hopefully had cancer if the ears (hopefully treatment has sorted) cancer of the ears (what a surprise). She is a true golden oldie and the sweetest nature.

pebbles is beautiful and as ela said oldies are great my golden oldie is in the greenhouse at the moment but she is normally with me on the computer table watching the cursor can't really say she is sweet (only when she wants something) but she bought loads of baggage with her  and is now in her eighteenth year and loving life having what you might say is a deserved retirement.

That is a shame as their website do say they rehome cats in the Reading area, which is where you live. 

I went nearly 30 miles to pick up my little kitty, but that was my choice after I fell in love with his pic on a catchat rehoming page  :Luv:
