Whats the chance of someone rehoming 2 12 year old persians thats suddenly emigrating?
-
Chances aren't too great for any 12 year olds unfortunately - Unless there's a few more Desleys knocking around :(
-
Have they tried contacting Persian Rescue?
http://www.chapelhouse-persians.co.uk/
-
Probably not, its a post thats on the tree site
-
Fingers crossed, but it isn't easy to find homes for 12yo's that quickly - thanks for the (I think) compliment Mark!!
-
I just had a look Mags, the people are emigrating on Friday :doh:
Have you contacted them?
-
thats suddenly emigrating
What a surprise, sadly we hear that almost every week, and definitely every week someone who is being evicted usually that day.
-
Where are they? Do you know if they are male or female? 12 isnt that old (well not in my terms anyway - seeing as I adopted a 20 (ish!) year old, who lived another 4 years with me!) My house is a cat pensioners home - ages range from 9 - 20 !!
Chapelhouse don't take in many cats for rehoming now, they only take in 'special cases'
-
Gillian they are Edinburgh way..
-
Me and OH will be driving back from Edinburgh on 26th - I know this is a couple weeks off but we are driving back from there down to Manchester, so if any rescue (or purrs person) wants to take them in who is en route, we can help with the journey.
Sure OH wont mind ;D
-
I could help as well..
-
ok, i just contacted the owner.
she still has the 2 cats, they are 12 years old and she rescued them 5 years ago but has to leave for an immediate trip back to america. (flight leaves friday morning.)
she said they are beautifully natured cats and wants them to go to an extremely loving home etc..
i couldn't keep the cats, as much as i would like to :evillaugh: but i could foster them until a new home/rescue is found..
anyone have any ideas?
-
First Id say whoever takes them on fostering to rehome should ask in my opinion for a minimum donation to put towards food/vet bills(if any) ...this is only fair
Second sarah were no that far from each other lassie lol As i have small furries aswell as cats I think i would need to work something out ?
Maybe we can meet up & you can my me a coffee & some cream cakes lol
-
PMSL @sarah i posted my reply BEFORE you PMd me lol
-
hehe i just pm'd you ;D
i could foster them for a bit defo, but yeah i think a donation is a good idea.
i emailed chaplehouse about taking them on if we coud somehow get them down south at some point.. either that or rehome them ourselves..
-
reply from chaplehouse---->
I do (and can) take cats but can only do so if the owner will pay the relevant fees (£50 per cat) and also, the cats need to be in a condition fit for homing. That means that they will have seen a vet in the last 3 months, and have no coat and dental requirements. We are not a charity you see, so have to ensure the animals coming in are not going to cause a funding issue. It is not uncommon for an incoming older Persian to cost over £600 if we don't apply these stipulations.
hmm??
-
If they leaving on friday why the hell are they lookin to rehome now instead of earleir?
-
Maybe their original plan fell through?
-
duno mags, she didnt say..
what could we do??
-
Well i dont know how any one else would work this but i would ask them for their vets & contact them & find out how the cats health & temperament are etc etc as folk have been know to lie about such things. But im suspicious on the sudden 'emigrating' bit its just another well used excuse. The £50 per cat donation well think thats resonable ...dont you think
-
i think so, but do you thnk it would be worth contacting the local rescues around here first?
i hate having to ask people for money though :doh: you fancie phoning her :rofl:
-
pmd ya lassie lol
-
to be fair that sounds pretty fair on that rehoming place..there is no reason why the owners couldnt have that cats checked today and even pay in advance if they need dentals ... this might not be done before fri but like i said she could discuss situation with vet and have the vet agree on a proper quote and pre pay....pre pay the vet i mean !
sounds fair to me.
-
Sarah has just phoned me the now & well keep you updated
-
uh ---
she has just said she'd like to have them shipped over to america in a month or so..
now i don't know what to say to that, and i could foster them until then but as lynn was saying about jabs and stuff etc.
mags forgot to give her your number, you fancie texting her to phone you?
-
Well thats a whole different ball game now & nothinng to do with rescue/rehoming.
-
Going on sarahs PMs it sounds as this person is going to muck folk about here choping & changing descions, think sarah as passed on my phone number so wait & see what she comes up with if she contacts me?
-
has she still not phoned mags?
-
Nope. Have added you to MSN as you asked
-
No update on these cats :-: have seen a 'free' kiiten under 8 weeks old with a deformed eye on the site aswel?
-
the girl hasn't contacted me today so i'm guessing she doesn't need our help after all..
-
:-:
-
Only just seen this and people cant suddenly emigrate it takes a long time to sort out!!
-
True gill, i think its a case of just 'get rid' for these cats but as they havnt got back to sarah & shes passed my number on to them & they havnt bothered phoning me & now I cant see the ad? :Dont know:
