Kitten search update


Just a quick update to report progress - which is exactly zero!

Several members kindly send me alerts for ads on the web (I am a little wary of those) but none have been suitable so far.
I have placed a wanted ad on one site and had a super reply from a lady in Essex with a ginger and a tabby - we both agreed it was too far away
I missed out a potential success by a couple of hours last week!
I could have had non-gingers x 4 last week
I will get a sneak preview of the local paper (Friday publication) again tomorrow`
There is nothing in the pet shops or vets today.

There seem to be lots of 'wanted' ads, so I guess it is that time of the year before the main breeding season starts when demand exceeds supply.

I will just wait until they appear - it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Re: Kitten search update


Well Jac - I don't think I'd do a 'meet half way'. You'd never know where the kit actually came from or if you were getting involved in 'kitten farming', which seems to be starting up now, sadly. I don't think it would be much fun for a kit to travel more than an hour (which means we travel 2 hours), so, given the great roads in Dorset (we don't have none of they blue roads ) that's about 50 miles. Would cover all of Dorset, over to Southampton, up to Salisbury, across to Yeovil etc.
However, as time goes on, I think I will find my boys within the local paper circulation area, or indeed just here in town.
