After Christine alerted me, I spoke to Frank at the Harlow CP branch. He said they, like most rescues are full but if you phone his wife, Carol on 01992 579539 they will see what they can do to help. They sound like really nice people so they will do their best I'm sure  :)

 :thanks: Mark.  That's a call you have to make, Heidihelpers  :hug:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I havent looked yet but will do, im afraid maybe i am being selfish but if someone was going to worry that badly would they not have thought of a micro chip!!, i dont mean that to sound as horrible as it does but he not in good way, vets are believing he was dumped or maybe elderly person died or something but they believe he hasnt wandered far and wasnt looked after proberly to start with, but like i have been saying no one knows his past, so we can all guess but be wrong. i just know as from my two cats that if they got out and lost id be devastated thats why they were microchipped from the start.

Thank you for caring about Larry.

Are you in north Essex or south Essex?  We have some folks on here from Canterbury & District CP - I'll draw their attention to this - and there are a number of other rescues in Kent.

Have you had a look at The National Pet Register in case someone is searching frantically for Larry?

so do i, i know everyone tries but his luck at the moment is put back out in the cold and as vet said to almost certainly die through the cold as he is so skinny and bald at back, i cant see how anyone can let that happen but i am really struggling to get anywhere, ive named him Larry ( as in loner bless him)

sadly the rspca often recommend that!  unfortunately all rescues have cats coming out of their ears and kittens, injured and pregnant cats come first when places do come up - I know you probably feel like you're banging your head against a wall - I hope someone here can help you

catchat is a separate site, the link is at the bottom somewhere - we do have rescue people on the board so hopefully someone can help you, I can't think of anyone in essex off the top of my head but there must be, you sound like you've made a good start for him to get a better life!

3 weeks ago this lovely cat male, long haired black and fluffy,* came out of bushes at the top of my road and was crying and meowing, he was ever so friendly, he was so skinny and bald at his back end, i instantly feel for him, i started to feed him daily whislt i made enquires for him. it then turned cold at night so i let him sleep in my bathroom so he was warm, spoke to my local rspca they said they could check him over and treat him if need be but then id have to put him back in bush, no i wasnt going to do this, so ive been spending the last 3 weeks trying to find him a home, rspca vet checked him over he is male, neutured and app 5 yrs old, he skinny and baldness was from flea allergy although didnt have fleas at the time been frontlined and steroid injection to help him. i couldnt keep him as i have 2 cats myself that wouldn`t accept him although he not bothered by cats, but i have a dog that he definatly does not like dogs, my brother kindly offered to help whilst we rung shelters but everywhere full up. but his wife had allergic reaction to the cat so after few days told me she realy wasnt coping, my mum then helped me out but again she has a dog although he was just about managing but she has birds which he didnt feel he could leave alone bless him he wanted to chase them, he is very friendly cat his ideal home would be someone or a couple on their own no kids although good with them but sliglty frightend, or other animals as he needs a peaceful few years, he been through enough it seems,* he needs a warm place to sleep and some food bless him,rspca have helped me give him his jabs as we do not know if ever had them, he has had one course and due his next on 28th sept which i have a record of.this is his last shot at finding somewhere permanent to live i have tried all i know with no success, any help or guidence in this matter from anyone will be truely appreciated,thank you.
