We have a lovely 5 year old cat who completely does our heads in. She is gorgeous, really friendly, totally patient with the kids, but just annoying. I just don't feel like I have the time/patience/inclination to give her the attention she deserves and I feel like me and DP are constantly shooing her away. DD also has bad eczema which is made worse by the cat and is another reason to put her out.
I feel terrible and I think she could have a much better home, but I've tried to re-home her and all the organisations locally are full. I have also put her on Gumtree, which made me feel even worse, but no one volunteered to have her.
I just want her to be somewhere where she is loved and cared for and given the full attention that she deserves instead of being treated like a mild inconvenience. I know a cat is for life and we should have thought of this before we got her, but that was 5 years ago, pre kids, when we had more patience and time. Any ideas?
