Title: Appeal for a new home for blind cat (Crossposted from Catchat) (Unknown Outcome)
Post by: Janeyk on December 03, 2009, 09:10:27 AM
OAP CAT FEMALE AFFECTIONATE WANTS CUDDLES LOVES TO PURR AND SIT ON YOUR LAP. SAVED FROM PTS LAST WEEK.

ESTIMATED 12 YEARS UPWARDS AND TOTALLY BLIND. likes tuna and pilchards - and any smelly cat food. Very sweet.
Seeks a rescue space with a NON EUTHANIZE POLICY, HOME CHECK AND CARE CONTRACT or a permanent home with rescue back up.
She does not seem bothered by the other cats. she does not seem to like the sound of dogs. currently crated due to lack of space.
Would suit an experienced cat owner.

Hope this little one finds a home quick!

I'm pretty sure I'm too far away and not entirely sure how our youngest would get on (he likes to play fight a lot).

That's how I ended up getting my little Pepper, just wish I could help them all  :( I would say though that totally blind cats do tend to walk into other cats so it's wise to have another very tolerant cat, Byron's not too bad but we do have to watch  ;)

I have a thing for deaf cats....Since having my Gnarla (RIP) It was brilliant the fact she could'nt hear any of the other's growling at her and just pottered around doing her own thing!  :Luv2: :hug: :hug:

The growling is fine with Pepper too especially as he's deaf but it's when Byron clonks him one that's a bit off  ;)

Our darling Bertie was blind and the others moved for him - he was like the Stevie wonder of the cat worls - the others seemed scared as they never knew if he was looking at them

I hope she gets a home soon a crate is no place for this little lady she needs a nice warm knee and lots of smelly food and catnip :Luv2:

The only blind cat I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing lived at the rescue I worked at in the US, he had got caught in a house fire and his eyes went and his face was scarred. However he was the loveliest cat and always wanted attention.

Though the rule was you had to wear jeans since he didn’t quite understand that he was too big to climb up our legs.

He was the boss of the cats & dogs who resided there.

I may be able to help posiibly  but i do have other cats including another totally blind 3 year old. I don't know if this would be ok?

But if Niall has her, Niall will still be looking to rehome? - hopefully Emily's offer will be taken  :)

I posted about her before but my mum's cat Sukie went blind when she was about 6 months old - she was lovely  :) - she developed sever arthritis when she was 12 and after going to a proper veterinary hospital, they thought she was in too much pain despite meds so she was PTS in my mum's arms - she said she has never been so upset about anything.  :'( - my mum refused to go on holiday for the 12 years she had Sukie - my dad loved her as much so he didn't mind  :evillaugh:

I would think that's right Mark, I know when I offered a home for Pepper he was rescued - and with a fosterer (although I know Lauren would have kept him safe with her had a home not been offered)

Niall would too, but yes I think it's likely to be a foster home/rescue placement.
