My latest foster dog is a kitten-cat... and she needs a forever home!

It makes a change for a foster pet in this house to be a cat. Snowy is on my profile photos and although the picture isn't a very good one and doesn't show how sleek and Oriental-looking she is I can tell you that she is beautiful and a real sweetheart too.

Snowy was another "free to a good home" unwanted pet, discarded because she "doesn't get on with her kittens".

Yep... she's already had kittens. Yet at just 9 months old she's only a kitten herself. :( Angry

She arrived here running alive with fleas and absolutely petrified, hiding behind the sofa as soon as she was let out of her basket. She's very slim and has probably been underfed until now but also, to be fair, has the sleek coat and face/body shape of a cat who might have some Siamese or similar in her background.

In the week that she's been here she's been de-flead and coaxed out of her shell. She's still nervous of load noise and sudden movement but is very affectionate and snuggly, great with my own cats and fine with the dogs. Tomorrow she is going to be spayed and vaccinated and then when she's recovered she'll be looking for a forever home.

She will be adopted on a rescue contract, under normal rescue terms, the basics of which are:

Adoption of an animal under my care is always subject to the potential owner being visited at home by a rescue representative.

All animals are vet checked before leaving my care.

Unless there is firm veterinary advice that it is not in the interest of the pet all those in my care are spayed/neutered.

They also vaccinated before being homed.

Snowy must return to me should the owner ever not be able to keep her, no matter how many years in the future that may be.

Support and advice will be offered for life.

A donation of £65 towards the cost of spaying, vaccinating, flea and worm treating is required as the cost of these to me will be in excess of a hundred and fifty pounds and, even with the best will in the world, I can't afford to cover the entire cost of veterinary care or I won't be able to help the next unwanted pet who comes my way.

Snowy will not be homed to those with young children because of her timid reaction to noise and chaos.

Snowy can be rehomed to almost anywhere across the country provided that the potential owners are prepared to meet her in East Anglia/home counties area following a successful home visit by a rescue representative so if anyone knows of a suitable home please let me know.

oh shes lovely. i'd love to have her but we are probably too chaotic/noisy/boistrous for her.

LoopyLoopsHulaHoops · 01/03/2011 11:23

Young children I'm afraid, and very territorial cats, otherwise I'd love to.

Just wanted to tell you what a fantastic job you're doing though Val. Well done, I'm always a little bit in awe of you!

:)

ChippedChinaTeaCup · 01/03/2011 11:25

She's beautiful!

I'm very tempted, child free house with a small garden in London.

Will think about it and get back to you :)

Vallhala are you local to me? Cambridge way? I know someone who may be interested... will pop back later.

Vallhala · 01/03/2011 11:31

Loopy thank you but I promise you that there is no reason on this earth to be in awe of a gobby, animal mad, generally mud-covered 46 year old... honest! :o

Chipped, you're more than welcome to pm me if you are intersted and I'll give you my phone number etc.

Hi Val I replied to your thread and it seems to have gone - as well as one from Mango who lost her cat today? Not sure wht has happened...

WynkenBlynkenandNod · 03/03/2011 07:29

Oh flipping heck she's gorgeous and the spitting image of my kitten who is 5 months. I think though 3 cats and a dog is enough really though. Go on Chipped, you know a cat makes a house a home and all that !

ChippedChinaTeaCup · 08/03/2011 23:31

Sorry it took so long to.come back.to you but after much discussion dp has his heart set on a dog Sad

HarderToKidnap · 11/03/2011 18:08

Have you rehomed Snowy yet?

Vallhala · 11/03/2011 18:11

Hello, poor little mite, I've almost conveniently tried to forget about homing her! She's SO lovely... but I can't keep her, I really can't, or I won't be able to help the next cat in need so I'm still looking for a home for her.

Can I persuade you? :o

She's yummy! Have you got a home for her yet? Not I could take her due to being over run with children and 3 cats that have adopted me!

HarderToKidnap · 11/03/2011 18:55

I have PMed you.
