Cat needs home urgently or being PTS on Monday.


Cat needs home asap or it will be put to sleep on Monday..please read story. Thanks..

Her name is Bella, she is a healthy black short hair cat, 8 years old, very friendly and shy. Her owner decided she doesn't want her any more and brought her to the veterinary practice. They wanted to put her to sleep, but we persuaded them to leave her here during the weekend. In the meantime, we are looking for a new home. Her owner doesn't want to leave her in a protection shelter so if by monday we don't have a new home, her owner really wants to put her to sleep. I know this is not fair so if you are interested or know somebody who may be interested please get in touch as soon as possible!
thank you so much email sil0033@hotmail.com

Her owner doesn't want to put her in a shelter where she could be rehomed somewhere for the rest of her life and would rather put her to sleep?????

That's just not right She's only 8 and a beautiful cat, I can't see any problems with her not being found a forever home if her owner would just see sense.

She is a stunning cat such beautiful eyes how could anyone think that pts is better than a protection centre with a very good chance of beiing rehomed. Good luck in finding her a loving forever home.

It's emotional black mail on the owners part. Not fair!

Re: Cat needs home urgently or being PTS on Monday.


Can't you just say you have??? and send her to a rehoming centre? like she cares anyway and probably won't come back.....That doesn't make sense and makes my blood boil. I would tell her that putting healthy cats to sleep is not an option, however if it is at your vets then I'm seriously worried about where you work and their ethics

Re: Cat needs home urgently or being PTS on Monday.


Personally I hate gumtree ads and avoid them like the plague as there are too many of these types of ads on there.
Its not that I dont care about what happens to these cats coz i do but more often that not I cannt help them so am left feeling very angry and upset.

Our vets would refuse to pts a healthy cat. I'd be very dubious about any vet that would undertake putting to sleep a healthy animal.
