"We are looking for a good home for our 2 year old tortoiseshell puss. Unfortunately, we are moving to a new home where pets are not allowed. She is a very placid, lazy and fairly unadventurous cat (greatest catch so far has been a tea bag!), very much one for company, and is used to children. She has been brought up on a diet of boring dried food, but somehow still manages to look like she could use a good workout! We are not looking for any money for her, just the knowledge that she will be loved! She is spayed, id chipped and innoculated."

Any news on this one? - they really need to get themselves on rescue waiting lists. This is becoming really common now - Sharon was only saying today that the number of calls about people going into rented accommodation has really shot up recently.
btw - Fatipuss is gorgeous :Luv2:
-
I just phoned this lady and asked if she had contacted local rescues to go on their waiting list. She said she hadn't but wanted to try to do it herself first. I warned her that advertising on Gumtree can be very dodgy. She said she hadn't had much response so was going to advertise on ***loved as there was a better class of people replying :tired:
I told her it was not better. I offered to give her numbers of local rescues but she said she didn't have a pen and was on the road :tired: - she said "Don't worry, I won't let it go to any old dodgy ***tree person" - I told her the advantages of going through a rescue but not sure if the message was made clear.
I also just spoke to a lady at Animal Samaritans who is going to look into this.
-
She really is. Poor Fatipuss - people on the loved site are a better class? Where's that theory from?
-
Every time I see that first photo........ :Luv2:
I really hope they find her a lovely home :Luv2:
-
Go on Mark, Im sure you could talk Dennis round :) :evillaugh:
-
As much as I would love to, Alice is the limit :(
Fatipuss is gorgeous though :Luv2:
-
Surely she would fit right in at your place :evillaugh:
-

Title: Keane - Sunshine lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc8BaEWN6_g&feature=related
Artist: Keane - Sunshine
I hold you in my hands
A little animal
And only some dumb idiot
Would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing
I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
I hold you in cupped hands
And shield you from a storm
Where only some dumb idiot
Would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing
I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home
Oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home
Oooooh
Can anybody find their home
...

:-: Explain please.
-
Isn't it self-explanatory? - how could someone let an animal go like that?
I would find somewhere that took animals or not tell ;)
It took me months to find somewhere to rent that took animals while we were waiting for our house purchase to go through. There are places if people look.
That wasn't a very good link as the song has been messed about here's a better one. Maybe the song isn't that relevant but I love it anyway :)

:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: she's gorgeous. I wish i were nearer. :Luv:
-
Mark, do you know that Fatipuss is definitely still looking? if I asked around all the people I know (dotted around the UK) would we be able to organise a transport chain if we found somewhere do you reckon?
-
She was when I spoke to the woman on Friday - so unless the woman from Animal Samaritans has offered a place (unlikely) I would imagine she still is.
-
Not as close as Michelle :evillaugh:
I missed this one !!!
Yes Swanley is just up the top of my Lane.....BUT i really havent got room and i have Harmony in my home with my 11 and i think adding a rather huge tortie would upset the apple cart :evillaugh:
Hope she finds somewhere xx
(is there anything i can do to help though Mark ?)
-
You might want to check on progress. I'm not sure if Animal Samaritans will follow up - I guess it's not fair to speak to Silvana. I had a list of numbers to give the woman but she said she was on the road, didn't have a pen etc so not much I could do.
-
Do you want to PM me the phone number for this lady and i'll give her a ring later xx
-
Have PMd tree link that has number on :)
Thanks Michelle :) :Luv2:
-
Oh dear my heart is being torn apart over this little darling- shes a torbie like my Koscha!
I really hope that we can stop her owners from putting her on ***loved, what a horrible thing to do to such a beautiful girlie :Luv:
Ohhh I wish I could take her, but the gruesome twosome :evillaugh: wouldn't have it (Keli wouldn't object one way or the other)
P.S I find that torbies are not too full of tortietude, the tabby bit seems to take the edge off, for those woh are interested :innocent: :shify: ;)
Go get 'em guys! ;D
-
I love the first photo - I could snuggle up in that bed with her :Luv: :Luv:
Yet another stunning puss needing a loving home through no fault of her own - :'(

The ad has already gone on :(
-
It has indeed. If anyone wants the link so they can contact the poster for more info, PM me. It is sad - Fatipuss is blatantly stunning and the ad has been up for more than 21 days. Not every free cat gets snapped up.
-
she looks like a little sweetie - do you think because she is spayed she isn't so attractive to people?
-
I think so, Dawn. Terrible to think that's all that matters. She really is lovely - I'm trying to convince my sister in law to take her. (She's looking for a cat but said she'd prefer a tom.)
-
I only joined Purrs today, hoping to find a furry chum, and I think I'm already in love! :Luv2: Two possible problems: I'm looking for an indoor cat - would she adapt? I live in west London and don't have transport. Oh dear, shall I get me coat? :-[

I live in Fulham and I can definately help you with transport if you decide to adopt Fattipuss as I have family over that way.
-
Oh...I do hope she could adapt. Would you like contact information?
-

Yes please.

PM sent. :)

;D ;D Really exciting news! Fatipuss, who's proper name is Mystery, should be in her new home with me by lunchtime. I've just phoned her owner, who is going to drive her over. She thinks that the cat shouldn't have any problems adapting to the indoor life. Will keep you all posted. ;D ;D
-
Thats fantastic news June!! Congratulations on your new furry and you will need to post some photos as soon as you have a chance.
A happy ending :Luv2:
-
Oh, that's amazing!! New piccies please. :) And updates!
-
That's great news - I have been worried about this gorgeous little girl - glad she has found a good home :hug:
I'm sure she will lose her "puppy fat" if she is on a mix of wet and good quality dry food. :Luv2:
-
Great news :wow: Let us know how she settles in.
-
Well, Fatipuss aka Mystery (although I might change it to something I think suits her more) has arrived and is settling in. Ish. Everywhere has been inspected and sniffed, several times over. She disappeared at one stage and I panicked, although I hadn't left any windows or doors open. I eventually found her dozing off in a dark little comfort zone she'd found between a big armchair and the wall. I'm leaving her to her own devices and I'm sure she'll soon get used to her new home. She is, by the way, adorable. :Luv2:
-
Am so pleased for her - and you of course ;D A happy ending :)
-
Yeay! Mystery is quite a pretty name actually. Much more apt than Fatipuss which is terribly unflattering for such a lovely looking girl.
-
Can't wait to see the pics :)
-
Wonderful ;D
-
brilliant news! welcome June by the way, I'm originally from Ealing myself - hope this lovely girl is settling in
-
Ahhhh how lovely that this gorgoeus girl has a new home.
If only we could get every new member to adopt a kitty on the day the sign up :rofl:

I don't think June has a camera at the moment so she's unable to ost any pics :(
-
Awww. We'll just have to make do with written updates!
-
There's an update from June on this thread: http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,16480.0.html
-
;D ;D Hurrah! I love happy endings.

I thought you all might like an update on how Babe (as she is now called) is settling in. I wasn't sure about changing her name but as she didn't respond to either Mystery or Fattipuss, I decided to go for one I felt comfortable with. Do cats respond to their actual names or is it your tone of voice when you call them? I've found the best way of attracting attention is to spread my newspaper on the floor and begin to read. Cue for furry bottom to be planted right on the bit I'm reading. Failing that, open the fridge! Although, funnily enough, for a big cat, she's not very interested in food apart from her own rations. It's the first time I've ever been able to cook without having a cat throwing itself under my feet, giving an Oscar winning performance of pitiful starvation. I was most concerned about keeping her indoors but her previous owner assured me that Babe wasn't bothered about going out and so it has proved. I suspect that going out might involve making an effort, not her strong point. She is the world's most laid back, lazy cat. She's very friendly and affectionate, and greets visitors by giving them a good licking. It's a novelty to have a cat that actually likes visitors. All my previous mogs were full or cross Siamese, who reacted to the doorbell like a bankrupt when the bailiff arrives: hide under the bed until they've gone.
She's had her breakfast and her 'mad' half hour, when she races about the flat like a Tom and Jerry cartoon, and is settling down for a hard day's snoozing. She is the most delightful creature and I'm so glad that I found this lovely forum which led me to her. Thank you very much.
(Sorry, still no piccies!)

Do cats respond to their actual names or is it your tone of voice when you call them?
To respond to this, possibly rhetorical question ... I think it is a bit of both, and their motivations. If I stand at the back door and call Esther and Smidgen, I used exactly the same intonation for both names, but the one I am calling is usually the one who responds. If I am indoors and say the name of one of them in conversation, Smidgen will respond, but Esther won't. If I yell the name because smidgen is doing something dreadful or lifethreatening (Esther never does this), then the two cats and the dog all stop what they are doing and look guilty. So it is hard to tell, really.
Glad Babe has found a home where she can be loved and dieted and exercised, lol
:Luv:
-
I think they know their names but only answer to it if they feel the urge. (Much like people if we're honest. ;))
Glad Babe is settling in well. :)
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: Ahh glad she is settling in.

Piccies at last:
