HELP - need your advice everyone - decision neededBackground info. My ex. husband has two rescue cats, he rescued them when he moved away to Bedfordshire so he would have company so to speak. For a while now hes been thinking, hes a teacher, out alot, etc. etc. that they need to be rehomed to a loving caring environment who would give them the love they both deserve. Both females, he thinks around 12 yrs of age. Decision Time. He has asked whether I would rehome them...now I know at a drop of a hat - yes I would, so far....Ive had pics of the Black girlie - Jack (Jacqueline) and Misty the Grey girlie is out and about and not able to have her pic taken as yet! Jack has already tugged my heart strings..... Question. I couldnt bear to see them go back into Rescue, like the poem posted a few days back re. older cats, people will go straight past and not consider them both. Would they be rehomed together? if I said no. 6 Cats here, would all be loved the same, but is that too many? How would Violet, Mau Mau, Vincent and Mabel react? HELP. Julie x

In that case why not give it a go at you'll know you tried and if 6 isn't to many for you then why not? |

My opinion also. If they fit in, fine! If not, you can do your best to rehome them, preferably together. It's so sad that too many people overlook the oldies...and twelve really isn't ll that old with cats increased life span these days...good luck whatever you decide  |

Right........ 1) You've admitted that you would love to have them, so that is no problem.... 2) Your present cats all seem to get on alright, even when you introduced Vincent and Mabel...... 3) Can you afford to keep two more cats? 4) What does the rest of the family think? 5) Would it upset you if they were rehomed separately? If you can give positive answers then I would say give it a go, at least you can give them a trial period to see how it would work out.... Good luck whatever your decision |

Sweet, I think you have already made your decision really! They have already stolen your heart, so I would say go for it. And if it doesn't work out, then at least you have given them a chance to be together. |

If you can finacially support 6 cats - then phone that ex hubby & get them here right away  seriously - go for it,what have you got to loose. Have them on a trial basis on the understanding that they can stay if they get on with your gang.  |
