My life has turned into a somewhat chaotic mess of late and I really need to re-home my cat asap.

Had to leave where I was living at very short notice three weeks ago.

Staying with a friend but cannot have animals here so had to leave cat in old neighbourhood.

She was spending a lot time with a family down the road from my old place & they were happy to feed & let her sleep on their sofa but they moved house themselves two weeks ago.

Have put cat on waiting list with all local cats protection/Rspca/small independent rescues in my area (all full) put ad on gumtree and have/am asking everyone I can if they might at least offer her a temporary home but no luck.

Neither the cat or I can go on like this, she's forced to live outside, alone, I'm running from one end of town to the other twice a day to feed her (more at weekends) Breaks my heart to have to leave her there each time.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

Is there anything else I could/should be doing to end this ridiculous situation?

Just wanted to update on my 'saga' - just back from dropping Smudge off at her new home earlier.

Seems she's fallen right on her paws this time - she's now living with a pensioner who lost his wife last year, loves cats and needs a bit of company around the house.

A man all to herself at last with no other cats around - best of all, he's home all day & has nothing but time to sit and provide a suitably warm and adoring lap :) :)

The mans son contacted me on gumtree last sunday and she moved in tonight. Nice house, safe area as well.

Really weird leaving her though, felt like she'd died on the way home without her, it's the right thing/environment for her but still sad to lose her.

Just me and 'little lord fontleroy' now (pic attached) we'll both be moving to our own little annexe home at the beginning of next month so all sorted.

Thanks again for all your offers of help & advice!

Wine o'clock for me now think :)
