We live in London and sadly need to re home our cats. Just cannot manage them with the children and it has been a problem for the last three years. They are seven years old burmese cats and brothers and I want to find a home that will take them together. We live in London can anybody recommeding a website that will help with this? or another method.

hi Tumblemum
I had to rehome my 3 cats a couple of months ago as we moved to NZ. I googled and found a couple of websites where you could 'advertise' them but to be honest there were loads of cats on there and I didn't hold out much hope of anything coming of it (also I really wanted to vet all homes VERY thoroughly)
I put them on here - which didn't work out but I think is a good way of reaching lots of people, and you can put up cute pictures to tug at everyone's heartstrings.
In the end, I did it by emailing EVERYBODY I know and getting them to pass it on to anyone they knew too. Two (brother and sister who I wanted to home together) went to a work colleague of a friend and one went to a friend who had just moved house, and in the end I had two back ups as well - almost a waiting list! I also asked everyone I knew to pass on the message.
Another thing to do is contact your vet and any local vets as they often know of people. Plus you could try a message in a school newsletter/noticeboard (that's how I sold my car, via my SIL!).

is there a burmese rescue society or just a burmese cat society ,they may be able to help as they may have people already on a waiting list and will have home checked them

Tumblemum, you could try the Cat Protection League . We got our cats from them and they were great.

I got my somali from RSPCA but via the somali breeders club IYSWIM I had contacted them to say I was interested in rehoming an adult somali, there was a lot of intrest in rehoming him and his fellow pedigrees bit of a bun fight I believe!
