Well we picked him up from nasty vets (nice vets but i don't think Asbo thinks so! ) and he was as quiet as a lamb (are lambs really quiet?!) until we got about 5 mins from Joy's in bmth then he got moving about a bit in the carrier. Got him into to Joy's room and he went straight for a wee (a long one!) in a hidey box she has in there. So that's was why he was getting restless!

He is very scared lad but no aggression. I managed to snap two pics but didn't want to scare him any more than he was. He is now safe in Joy's room and i know Joy (lovely lady

) will take the very best of care of him. As she lives very near my dad, i can go and see him anytime

I want to thank you all so very much just having all your support was such a huge help to me. Also a huge thank you to Brenda and Joy at Bournemouth CP

The 1st pic isn't so great as he was moving but 2nd is a bit better. As you can see he is a very scared lad at the mo.

Only just seen this-fantastic news-well done Tan and Kathy (and Joy of course!)

Hope this is the start of a brilliant life for Asbo! Can't believe it's all sorted while i've had trouble with my emails! (Had to get my son on remote assistance to sort it-have now got 331 plus emails in my in box to delete)

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #192 on:** February 18, 2010, 14:41:32 PM »

sounds an ideal situation for him, and still leaves open a possible permanent home

unless your dad is looking for a cat

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #191 on:** February 18, 2010, 14:39:48 PM »

Thats great and had just started a thread for him in rescue so will move it for deletion

JackSpratt · « **Reply #190 on:** February 18, 2010, 14:39:42 PM »

Well done, Tan!

So is Joy fostering him or is a permanent home?

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #187 on:** February 18, 2010, 14:38:12 PM »

That is fantastic - well done Tan

The fosterer sounds ideal for Asbo .

Tan · « **Reply #186 on:** February 18, 2010, 14:32:30 PM »

Oh Lord hunnies it all sorted

Rang Brenda back and she said to try Joy who is one of their fosters. Rang Joy and she so such a joy to speak to (lovely lady) with 20 yrs experience with unwanted babes. Joy is going to take him

She lives in Bournemouth only 5 mins form my dad's house.
Oh what a relief i was so worried.

I am going to take her some great toys and catnip as well

Any hoo the vets just rang and he is ready so we will be off shortly to take him to Joy.

Joy to the world as she has saved my bacon lol

Thanks so very much to all of you wonderful peeps. I am so very proud to be part of you wonderful lot and so proud to call you all my very good freinds.

Ps i will take my camera

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #185 on:** February 18, 2010, 14:03:59 PM »

Tan

As you don't seem to be getting anyone from local CP to help you other than pass you on to the next branch, would it be worth moving this thread to rescue and rehoming so more rescue members might see it ? I don't know of other members around your area but have seen Ron (brighton cats) post. Know that is around 90 miles away but would he know of any rescues who might be able to help?

Otherwise, hoping Bob would like to take Asbo and CP can do a homecheck on him - with Asbo going to a cattery or even another vets in the meantime to give you some breathing space

.

Tan · « **Reply #184 on:** February 18, 2010, 13:35:08 PM »

so very much

never used a cattery before so need to look up all in the area to find out if they are ok and how much.

Just spoke to Winchester CP. They can't help either but could do a home check but they are very short staffed so don't know when that could be done.

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #183 on:** February 18, 2010, 13:14:50 PM »

Tan

I would help towards 'hotel' bills as well Tan. So any good catteries your way with isolation pens?

Or how much would the vet charge for him to be innoculated with the basics (because we have saved on the neuterings costs

)?

I was going to suggest getting him into a cattery if all else fails but he would have to be innoculated for that.

I wonder whether catteries have isolation facilities for emergency boarders? I'd be happy to chip in towards the hotel bill!

Me too, Tan.

Janeyk · « **Reply #181 on:** February 18, 2010, 13:04:35 PM »

Hopefully when you ring back - even if they can't take him in they'll have some suggestions I know round here all rescues contact and try and help each other, fingers crossed something can be sorted xx

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #180 on:** February 18, 2010, 13:00:12 PM »

Could he be kept in your garden with some shelter until you manage to find a rescue that can take him? I know it would involve your boys being kept in but hopefully not for too long

If you can find a rescue place further afield, if it's of any help I can help with transport from Friday evening and anytime over the weekend, I'm in Bucks.

Edit:

My take on Southampton CP is that they are suggesting that your local CP (who gave you the trap and said they would take him) should be phoning their local contacts including any local fosterers to see what can be done to get the cat to safety.

You could try getting back onto her.

Last resort on the CP route would be to contact the National Cat Centre and there it would benefit from a CP branch co-ordinator/welfare officer speaking with them.

Tan · « **Reply #178 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:56:20 PM »

I hope so cause i have to ring them back as i am running out of options

I feel awful cause this poor lad is now at the vets which is my doing with nowhere to go. Julie is so right that you have to know where he is going after the vets before he goes in and the plan i had and crumbled with this cat flu outbreak.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #177 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:51:55 PM »

bournemouth CP might have a fosterer who could take him, though

Tan · « **Reply #176 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:50:03 PM »

Yup have the cc list infront of me

Nine lives not taking in any more.
Les is full with needy babes
left is RSPCA -- nope thank you!

CP southampton just rang and they can't have him either. They said to try Winchester CP cause they could also do the homecheck for Bob but Bob hasn't rang me yet so i am not 100% he is prepared to have him and have the patience with him to bring him round as a domestic cat.

Soton CP have said i should ring Brenda at Bmth back as it is bmth cp who had the trap, bmth cp who is paying for his neutering etc so their responiblity but how can they with cat flu there?

Janeyk · « **Reply #175 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:25:11 PM »

Tan, have you tried ringing round all rescues in your area:

http://www.catchat.org/adoption/hants.html

may be one can help - it's worth a try

Tan · « **Reply #174 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:23:08 PM »

New Milton Area

Just spoke to my other neighbour and they can't have him either.

No call from Soton cp yet.

I reckon i have till about 5pm to get him from the vets.

any ideas hunnies?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #173 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:15:04 PM »

What area do you need somewhere for him? PM me if you want and I can ask around. Well done for getting him; the poor lad will be scared he's not used to any confinement.

Tan · « **Reply #172 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:10:15 PM »

Thanks Edd

The vets won't keep him and have said they are so buzy that they need him out asap when he is ready this arvo.

Brenda said to try Southampton CP and i have left a message on their rehoming line.

Kathy is at work and won't be back till 5pm but i don't think she would be too happy to have him in a spare room if she has one but i don't know. I so wish i had the room here. I will try my other neighbour who is involved and helping us catch him. She has two girls and not sure if she has a spare room.

Poor lad my stupid orgaination and the outbreak at Bmth cp has mucked all this up for him now. The poor lad is scared as hell
