Milo sounds like a sweet thing, although I'm not sure I would be suitable as I work Monday-Friday 9-5 and I think that perhaps Milo will need more attention than that. That said I'm very rrely out in the evenings....

If I'm perfectly honest, I am more inclined to adopt a good old moggy....not wishing to sound too picky! :)

Post by: Dawn F on October 07, 2008, 14:22:13 PM: I know what you mean but it just seems such a shame that there isn't one right now!! I really hope the indoor thing doesn't mean you have to wait too long

Post by: Wixy on October 07, 2008, 14:29:18 PM: Well, me too!

That said, I'm actually away in Scotland at the end of October so I will be just as well waiting until the beginning of November. I didn't think that would be an issue anyway as most rescue centres like to have a chance to meet you, for you to meet the cat and have a home check before any move takes place..so thought it would be a while anyway.

I would hate to adopt and then immediately put the poor thing in a cattery...how to confuse the poor baby in one easy step....

Post by: Wixy on October 07, 2008, 21:10:03 PM: Hi Sam,

yeah I have been looking on there, but there don't appear to be any suitable cats on the actual website (or I may have missed them) - I keep forgetting which pages I've been on and which ones I haven't. I've made a couple of calls and left my details....so just waiting around :)

Cheers though

Post by: Wixy on October 07, 2008, 22:05:32 PM: Seems that would be a good plan...thanks very much :)

I'll keep an eye out for a special indoor cat for you. As long as you can get up to the shelter to meet your potential new friend there's no issue with homechecking as I work in Nottingham.

Here's hoping!

Amy ;)

Post by: Wixy on October 13, 2008, 12:24:03 PM: Hi Amy,

Thanks for that, but I'm happy to say that over the weekend I went to the Central Animal Rescue in Leicester and I've found an absolute sweetheart. She wasn't what I set out to rehome (ie FIV or a disabled) but she has had a rough time of it because her previous owner died and was stray for a while.

Her name is Angel, shes 7 and the most beautiful British Blue. I'm told she has zero desire to go outside so I'm happy. She'll be coming to live with me on 1st November..I'm so excited!

thanks for all your help everyone.

Glad you found a new friend
