Title: 12 year old male cat, surrey needs a home (Homed)
Post by: Anna_T on March 16, 2010, 19:57:13 PM
Contact/organisation details: I am fostering for Furry Friends in Old Coulsdon. Please PM me on here or call Emma on 020 8407 1080/0797 356 9371.
Does the animal have rescue back up?: Yes
Location: Caterham/Old Coulsdon SURREY
Number of groups:1
Group:1
Number of animals:1
Type/Breed/Variety: Scottish Fold Cat
Sex: male
Age(s): Approx 12 years old.
Name(s):Wilfred
Colours: Black
Neutered:Yes
Reason for rehoming: Saved from being euthanased after being found as a stray and assessed as too old to rehome. Wilfred is a cat flu carrier meaning that he cannot be vaccinated as it brings cat flu out in him. He therefore has to go as a housecat.
Will the group be split: N/a
Transport available: Within reason
Other: Wilfred does not like other animals, but adores children!

Here is Wilfred :)

(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh49/anna_t_2007/Cats/wilf.jpg) He loves children!

(http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh49/anna_t_2007/Cats/wilfy.jpg) He is a very snuggly boy who has a great appetite. But scarred up, but so sweet and loving.

Mr Wilf is still looking for a home. Please don't overlook him because of his age, colour or condition. He is such a lovely cat, he just wants cuddles and a full tummy <3

He looks a complete dude. Sadly, I can't really afford to take on any more otherwise I'd be trying to talk my partner round. :) Hope Wilfs ideal home turns up soon.

Wilfred is still here. I just thought I would explain a little about his illness as it is likely to put people off.

Wilfred is on no long term meds. The only thing that he needs is a course of antibiotics if he becomes snotty which is only rare.

This lad has so much love to give and will repay his new owners in tenfold for giving him a loving home.

Aww I'm so surprised he's still waiting I love black cats and Scottish Folds, I've adopted a few old kitties similar to Wilf with dribbly noses and I think he's adorable, I'd love to adopt Wilf myself if I could have another.  Maybe taking longer to rehome because he has to be an only cat? I'm keeping fingers tightly crossed for him xx

I was going to suggest a breed rescue but can't find one for the Scottish Fold!  :Crazy: Not even a breed association.  :scared:

There is Posh Puss rescue who seem to handle ALL pedigrees so maybe they'd help with publicity?  :sneaky:

scottish fold isn't recognised by gccf because of health issues so that might be why there isn't an assocation not sure - wishing wilfred luck!

I put him on my Facebook and a guy thought he was adorable but he works all the hours God sends by the sound of it and was worried that he'd not be around enough for Wilfred to get the attention he should.

Thats a shame. If he is interested then put him in touch and perhaps Emma could have a chat with him. Her numbers are 020 8407 1080 or 0797 356 9371. Thank you for putting him up for us :)

Unfortunately we are not able to appeal for transport for Wilfred now. This is because we have found out he does not travel well at all and becomes very stressed. He cannot be sedated because of his breathing problems. He is ok to go short distances, but he cannot go far.
