Do you have a CatChat page www.catchat.org .... I'm sure if this boy become a "featured" kitty he will soon have a new home.

Now, I'm confused....  :Crazy: :scared:

I've just taken a look at that site and it says Max is 10 months old. :shy:

Maybe they need to update?  :tired:

Oops! Was looking at the wrong cat!  :-[

This rescue is one of the many that dont rehome outside their area, that could be why animals are are so long in rescues?

Not that I'm an expert on Scotish Isles, but from the map there's only about 20 houses for miles....  :shify:

I've just looked it up and the population of Oban is 8500 - impressive!  :wow: But this includes all ages. For the rescue to completely empty their pens, I reckon (not scientific measurements) they would have to get around 2 cats rehomed in every single road in the town.

It's a big ask....  :(

Aww I hope this cutie finds a forever home soon!

4 years is a long wait.

Wonder if they'd let someone in a different area do a home check on their behalf? To help Max's chances...

Max is adorable, looks a bitty like my Bob,

would be confusing around here shouting Max in for his dinner as we already have a Max

Hope he gets homed soon, why do they not adopt outside Oban, I'm confused..............so whats new I hear you cry...........

Its cos they cant do homeckecks out their area as they dont have the folk to do them & i dont think they are keen for anyone else to do them?    I know a few rescues dont rehome out their area as they dont have the manpower
