Title: Loving home offered for a young cat - Dorset. (Uknown Outcome)
Post by: burstingbug on November 12, 2008, 14:49:09 PM
I would like to offer a home to a kitty in need.
We have 2 children, 1 dog, 1 kitten and 7 guinea pigs!

Our kitten is male, 17 weeks old and is due to be neutered around Christmas time.
I think he'd benefit from having one of his own kind to play with.

Please get in touch if you know of a lil kitty in need. :Luv:

What about our lovely Pearl!! Who is around 14wks old and very confident (posting on the child board) she is a siamese x although doesnt really look siamesey she does sound like it...

Pearl is gorgeous  :Luv:
She's got the same colourings as Mischief  :Luv2:
They'd look great together.
Mischief can be quite a vocal cat too bless him  :evillaugh:
Should I PM you or call the Canterbury cpl?

Several PMs later and burstingbug seems to be a lovely home and family.... I am wondering if anyone lives close to her and thereby might assist with a HC?

I think we are looking at the Portland area...Anyhows dont they look alike!!

Sharon will update but I think this is being sorted. Sharon & I spoke to some of the people at Dorset CP and they are doing the HC  :)
(I spoke to the wrong branch first  :-[ )

Burstingbug... If you let me know how you get on and if you are still keen then i can put you in touch with the fosterer of Pearl..and you can have a chat... However, when i rang W Dorset CP they wanted you to see their cats first before proceeding so if you find something then please let me know so i can offer Pearl to any other interested people...

Hi,

I've been out all day today so haven't had chance to call. Would it be ok to call them this evening do you think? Or should I wait till Monday.
It doesn't say anything about times on their site.

Good luck with Pearl, would be a shame if nothing they have takes your fancy  :evillaugh:

Little update for you all.

Looks like Pearl is definitely a no go  :(
Paws were supposed to get back to me today re a homecheck, they might contact me tomorrow :tired:
But....
I went into my pet shop this morning for my guinea pig bits. I always stop to chat to the owner about the animals and mentioned that I was after another cat for Mischief. This afternoon, bless him, he phoned me up and said that someone had just been in who had just started a rescue and gave me her number.

Well a cat with 7/8 week old kittens was taken in by her on Saturday. Cat & kittens doing very well and will be available in a few weeks   ;D
I'm going to have a look at them tomorrow.  :Luv:

I have to say there that it wasnt for the want of trying but this ladies local CP must be in the dark ages. I will be having a few words about their policies in due course... I hope one puss cat gets a nice home out of this though.
Title: Re: Loving home offered for a young cat - Dorset.
Post by: burstingbug on November 17, 2008, 21:09:06 PM
Thanks for all your help Sharon, sorry I have let you and Pearl down  :'(.

The chap in the pet shop said that most rescues here have the children over 5yrs policy too, so pretty stuck either way really  :censored: :mad2:
Possible new kitty sounds promising though. No idea what colours or sex they are. Cindi said that she's not looked under their tails yet :cat laugh:.

What happens to children on their 5th birthday?  :-: A nasty child is nasty full stop, whether its 3 yrs or 6  >:(

I have given my views to the RDM covering our area to speak to the RDM in that area. Its stupid !! I am sure they are living in the dark ages!!

May be to late for Pearl but may be sometning that can be addressed by this branch in future.

 >:( doesn't even come close!!
Thanks for speaking to them Sharon, lets see what they have to say.

I went to see the kittens today  :Luv2: :Luv2:
Mummy cat is beautiful :Luv: she has 2 black and white kittens, 1 ginger, 1 white & ginger and 1 black one :Luv: :Luv2: all totally gorgeous.
Ginger kitty has found a new home and so has the white & ginger and the black one as a pair.
It was really hard to choose between the 2 b&w cats, but I have chosen the one with a spot under her chin. :Luv2:

Need to get Mischief neutered before new kitty is allowed to come home ;D

I have to say, I found some of their comments ridiculous. I know we always have to put the cats first at all time but to have rigid rules is stupid. They also asked me ages of children as they don't rehome to under 5's - they also asked me what your postcode was as they don't home to certain postcodes  :( - I know from first-hand experience that my parents didn't have a "pot to p in" whenI was growing up on a council estate but our house was always spotless, full of clean, well mannered, well fed kids and pampered animals - so to "tar with the same brush" is ridiculous.

I think kids that are brought up from a young age with animals are ones the grow up to be animal loving adults. Pets in our house were always he & she - never "it". Our dog Tipsy that my mum only took on due to a neighbour planning to PTS was given a bowl of tea and a bowl of porridge in the morning the same as us!!  :evillaugh:

Good evening....  :shy:

I've got 2 lovely cats - a girl and a boy both 3 years old? (I know you only mention 1 cat) I just thought I'd let you know that I need to rehome my 2 lovely cats due changed circumstances at home.  :'(
