Title: Urgent Appeal: 3 Cats Need Homes, 2 weeks to sort them out!
Post by: DaveD on June 18, 2007, 11:52:26 AM
 :help: We were contacted by an elderly lady who has to move into sheltered accommodation by the end of this month. She has five cats but is only allowed to take two with her, so has chosen to take the two most unlikely to find homes. She is also talking about having them put to sleep if we cannot place them as she is worried that they may end up in cages or in unscrupulous hands and she is absolutely heartbroken. :(
The three cats are only young, Willow (grey and white) no older than three and Millie (black and white) just turned two, both are longhaired, spayed and vaccinated. They can go together or be separated, they are not related.

Harry is a shorthair male, about 2 years old, but bullies the girls and can therefore be homed on his own. He is neutered, vaccinated and also microchipped. All cats are affectionate and both girls are lap cats. They would benefit from a quiet home, but a family with older sensible children would be fine.

If you can help at all, please contact Gina on gina.catrescue@btinternet.com. Homes are preferably sought in and around Chester and the CH60-66 postcode areas. (http://209.85.48.12/9485/155/emo/signthankspin.gif)

Thanks Sam. If I had room I'd take them, at least for a while. I was very impressed by the decision to take the two that would be harder to rehome, but what an awful decision to have to make.

Still no enquiries about these cats, alas. Gina, who's dealing with these, tells me that even kittens are difficult to find homes for at the moment, hopefully that'll pick up when people return from holidays. (http://209.85.48.12/9485/155/emo/luck.gif)

Woo Hoo ... fingers crossed it all goes well for Willow and I'm sure it won't be long before the other two find a forever home as well.

I've just been told that the homecheck for Willow went well, and she'll be going to her new home tomorrow!  :cheer:
Sadly no enquiries about the other two yet - let's hope there'll be someone wanting a cat coming home from holiday soon. (http://209.85.48.12/9485/155/emo/luck.gif)

Very good news about Willow, she seems to be settling in well, and there's been a promising enqiry about Millie (hopefully more news tomorrow). Only a tentative enquiry about Harry,and we won't know more for a few weeks, after the people showing an interest come back from holiday. Hopefully he'll not have to be penned up while waiting for his forever home.

Just Harry to find a home for now.
Millie will be going to her new home tomorrow evening, and hopefully she'll get on with the cat that's already there.

They're doing great  :thanks:, but there's not been much decent weather so not many pics for a while - and I must change my avatar and sig to include Sonia, my foster cat.
