Another email I've received this morning :'(
I've had a call from a lady who needs to rehome one of her cats. Ralf has been in an accident and has lost the nerves in his tail, his tail is being docked (by a vet) but his bladder has been affected by the accident and he is now incontinent and has lost control of bowel movement. The lady works full time and is coming home to find little 'accidents' everywhere and cannot cope any more. She feels he needs someone who can be home a lot more to care for him. Ralf looks fit and well and was racing around her garden whilst I was talking to her, he is a happy little cat who likes to play, he is fine with the cat he currently lives with, but has not had conatct with dogs.
Ralf is 7 months old, pure black with green eyes, the lady rescued him after finding him wandering on a busy road, but simply cannot cope with this situation. I am told she has considered having him put to sleep if a good home cannot be found, so naturally I am very worried as she has a veterinary nurse in the family who has suggested this if another home cannot be found.
Ralf is in the Midlands, but she can get help to transport him a resonable distance if needs be, I may have a contact who could also help with transport, I just want this little cat finding a good home. He is not under the vet anymore so there is no cost element other than the usual.
If anyone can help this little fella, if you pm me or email, I will send you the details :hug:

Oh Dawn how sad but i think it will be hard to rehome a cat that cant control its bladder.
I love cats to bits and have 10 as you know (+the stray) but even i wouldnt be able to take a cat that is going to wee everywhere.
I supsose the other option is for him to be a farm cat but then would that be fair on a cat that has known what it is like to live indoors ?
I truly hope someone can give him a home though xxxxx

I know but it's got to be worth a try.....he's only a baby :sad no:

Dawn why did Ralf have to be black - I will have a word with Robin this pm and see what he says - its the blacks that pull my heart strings and with loosing Bert our black oldie last week I feel this baby needs a chance.
Wil advise later - Need to do some major bribing first!!!!!!! :shify: :innocent: :sneaky:

Give him a big kiss as he walks in the door. Then say hello darling how has your day been, what would you like for supper? He will then guess you want something perhaps

Nice thought Ela but he is off today doing housework as we have visitors for the weekend so that one might not work but I am sort of working a game plan of it would be nice in Berts memory and Bert has a pointing issue as he stepped head first in the litter tray - he was blind!
Will advise later and no to a dog as Jazz only likes boys! :doh:
-
Oh the poor poppit, and only 7 months old :'(
I have read cases of RTA cats regaining bladder control months after the accident, would be nice if he was one of them.

oh poor baby

Lets hope Liz can twist hubbys finger

Have you managed to twist his arm yet Liz :evillaugh:

Any news on this little one?
Are there such things as cat nappies?
-
Not had any response yet :'( I hope he manages to get a home somewhere, if someone has wood floors, maybe the odd little mess isn't such a big issue.
Not sure about the nappies :Crazy:
-
I'm pretty sure someone here has mentioned cat nappies so they do exist!
Hope this little one is sorted.
-
I can't recall why but I have a feeling Teresa may know about using nappies... (Apologies if I'm wrong).
-
I have never used them but they do exist
