Re: Urgent Help Needed


Nigel I am sorry you have been let down. To be honest I'm wondering why you have two kittens of 6 months. I know it takes a lot of preparation and thought to move abroad. It just seems a bit strange to me.

I was wondering the same thing Jac. I know that when I moved from Australia to the UK it took a lot of preparation and time. Plus I brought my cat with me.

I hope your cats find loving homes though.

Re: Urgent Help Needed


Nigel, Sorry to sound harsh, but I don't think you will find anyone to take on 4 indoor L/H cats within a week. I appreciate you've been let down, but even so, seems a bit last minute to me. Our current waiting list is 12 weeks plus for taking in strays/ cats needing rehoming, so you'll be lucky to find someone who'll take them within days.

Are they neutered?

Re: Urgent Help Needed


I am very sorry that you and your cats have been so badly let down last minute.
It may be an idea to get this on as many forums as possible as well as contacting as many shelters etc as you can.
Its gonna be be a hard task but fingers crossed you can get something sorted.

Re: Urgent Help Needed


Maybe the kittens were "home bred"

Re: Urgent Help Needed


I think that's a little harsh! And sometimes relocations can take place at quite short notice - happened to my ex!

Anyway, Nigel, I do hope you have luck finding homes for your 4 cats. Have you tried all your local rescue centres also? Do the cats have to be rehomed together? This is very sad, but you may have to be as flexible as possible where new homes are concerned and they may have to go to separate homes.

Can family help out? Can you/your partner remain in the UK for a few weeks longer to see the cats to new homes?

Whatever happens, please don't just dump them and run, please!

Re: Urgent Help Needed


I've been watching this thread, waiting to see what happens . Now I know you're in Bath, try Cats Protection - Bath Branch.

There are CP branches all over Somerset so you should be able to find somewhere safe for them to go
