Oh bless them!! And you too for taking on the older cats . . . they are so often overlooked and it is heartbreaking! It also nearly always seems to be the tuxedo and black cats that are left when all the others have been snapped up for rehoming. What a shame Hopefully they'll find the right kind of homes soon - and those that are with you for good - well they've fallen on their paws haven't they |

It is sad that the oldies get left behind - they are the only ones I take on, and it is just such a shame I can't afford to have more, I certainly would if I could afford it (have my eye on one at another shelter). I have had young black and whites that have gone quickly, but dont seem to have much luck with the oldies at the moment, but hopefully it will happen soon. |

'Old' vets rang me today asking if i could help with a cat they had been asked to pts. Seemingly healthy cat, and the only reason she could make out was that she is ruining his new decorations. She is a 13 year old tabby, not sure if he has had her all her life (forgot to ask). Only prob I have is that Martha hates other cats (she will only venture out of her room to chase Tom), so she will have to go in the cage in the front room - but our other fosterer lost two of her oldies this week (one was a 20 year old Persian), so she may be able to take her on, but I am a bit reluctant to ask just yet. Will post pics at some point |

Here is Tiger, the one I picked up yesterday - it did break my heart though, as she was crying, and the poor thing had had one owner from being a kitten, so her whole world has been turned upside down. |

she is gorgeous. He told me she wasn't easy to stroke or brush but not vicious, I have managed both, but only for short periods and she has been slightly nasty, but i think it is just cos of how her life has been turned upside down, and I hope she does get a bit friendlier. Oh, and the only thing he told me about why he was letting her go (I didn't ask, as I was told by the vets - I did ask how long he had had her, and he said 13 years) was that she is tying him down. I had to stand there and nod my head politely (while thinking, 'this takes me up to 6 cats, which I find hard work, and I work full time') |
