can any lovely cat owners give my gorgeous boy a home please?

[mumofone1984]

hello, I have a gorgeous 7 yr old black and white cat.

I got him at 12 weeks from the RSPCA and he lived happily as king of my mums house. When I moved out I left him with my mum as he was very happy there. My mum sold her house recently and the cat moved in with our family.

He coped very well to living with a dog and a two year old, amazingly he also tolerates my rabbits jumping around the house!

My husband began to react pretty much as soon as my cat moved in and has taken piriton every other day for the 18 months he has been with us. Obviously this cannot go on and so here I am trying to find somebody that would take on my cat.

If you are interested pls send me a msg for further info/pics. We just want him to go to a lovely home.

We live in Berkshire nr. Reading.

Thanks for reading.

I would really like to say yes but my OH would kill me and my vet would probably disapprove too considering how often he sees me already :(

Personally, rather than waiting for a reply on here and handing your well loved kitty over to a stranger who you know nothing about I would use your local cats protection agency who will check out all potential new owners.

Phone them up and explain the situation and how urgently he needs re-homing. I know at the start of December I had to consider giving my girls up and there was a month waiting list to get housed then. My cat then got really sick and I couldn't part with her for anything.

At the time of posting this message the link wasn't working properly but last time I used this site it was fine.

thankyou thats a really good suggestion. im sorry your cats so ill

I have discovered Petal Cleanse which is meant to get rid of the proteins that cause the allergies. I haven't received mine yet but the reviews are all very positive.

Unless you can home him to someone you know personally and who you can hand on heart, 100% guarantee is responsible, caring and reliable it would be far, far wiser and kinder to go through a rescue than advertising him to strangers on the internet. For one thing you can't guarantee what sort of home he will go to if you don't follow all the procedures which rescue does. For another, should you home him privately and the new owner ends up not being able to keep him he will need somewhere to go. At 7 it won't be easy to rehome him... imagine the difficulty the new owner would have when he's 17. A no-kill rescue will homecheck and will insist that he is returned to them if ever his adoptive owners can't keep him, no matter how many years in the future and no matter how old he is or what problems he has.

As he came to you from the RSPCA, by rights you should return him to them as AFAIAA they have such a policy and don't permit the owner to sell or give the cat to anyone else.

However, the RSPCA are a bloody awful outfit imho and are far too fond of killing animals which come into their "care" so I would be inclined to turn to Cats Protection instead in this instance.
