Two days and already he had wanted to cuddle with her and be a friend and she chucks him out, oh boy if I had met a cat like that after Kocka went to the Bridge they would have been so welcome. Two years on and one I still cant touch and the other will never be a lapcat but I love em to pieces.

I dont think she should have a cat.

I hope that he gets a loving forever home very quickly and know that bc will look after him so well if he is fostered.  ;D

Hey BC, if you lived closer, I would soon have that spare room of yours filled up  :evillaugh:

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I do know how to say 'no' Dawn  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: but i have to say  if I was not working, in fact when I stop working, then fostering sick or homeless animals is likely to be high on my agenda I have to say ... :shy:

Hi Dawn, I have phoned Ron and he is considering the offer at present. So we will see what happens. He looks a realy sweety and ginger to boot! :wow:

Good thinking, Dawn (if I may be allowed to say so  :shy:) and well done to BlackCat for offering to come to Billys aid  :wow:

Fingers crossed

Just a thought, but maybe Blackcat would like to foster him until a home is found for him as she did offer to foster the other two from Croydon  :shy:

How sad, my cat got on the bed for the first time last night and we have had him since August :Crazy: Cant believe she only had him two days and gave up. Hope he finds a new home soon.

This is so sad, he looks like an adorable lad - how old is he?

I truly hope a forever home is found for him, poor little boy  :(

Heartbreaking. I wish I could offer him that home. He looks wonderful.

Do you have much of a history on him Ron? Can he be homed with other cats, does he need outdoor access etc.  May help to find him that home for the plea.

Oh what a crying shame! - I wish people would be more patient about taking on a rescue cat - 2 days is nowhere near enough time for him to settle and for her to decide he's not the right cat, blimey its like buying an item of clothing getting it home, and then thinking, oh no this isnt quite as nice as I thought, I'll just take it back - makes me so cross  >:(

Poor Billy  :(  If he's so miserable in a pen do you have any local fosterers Ron?  Maybe he could be a top cat on Cat Chat too?

Everything seemed to be going fine until he kept her awake the first night wanting to sleep on her bed and then he supposedly scratched her when she woke him up on her lap. He can be grumpy but he's not vicious and was probably just startled when she woke him up. We really don't think she's given him enough time to settle and get used to the new home but we have to take him back unfortunately. Very Sad.

(URGENT) HOME WANTED FOR BILLY
« Reply #1 on: January 11, 2008, 14:29:01 PM »
Hi Everyone,

We're desperately looking for help for a cat called Billy. :help: He's a lovely big ginger boy and he's been with us for nearly a year now. Sadly he's been overlooked all this time as he has become more and more grumpy being locked in the pen. We took him to a new home 2 days ago but we now have to have him back as the lady feels that he's not the right cat for her!! It's going to be really heartbreaking to bring him back to the pen and we're hoping that someone out there might feel sorry for him and offer him the home he deserves.  It will take time for Billy to settle so we'd like to find someone who isn't looking for an 'instant' cat and understands that he might take a bit of time to adjust to a new home.

If there is someone who could help PLEASE call us on 01273 422721 as it's very quickly looking like it might be cruel to keep him in the pen much longer and the alternative is unthinkable right now but may well become neccessary if we can't find him his new home.

Thanks Everyone,

Ron
