The litter tray

Temporarily rehoming a pet? Please help - I'm so worried :(

Hi All,

DP is moving in with me this Friday. It's a temporary move until we buy our own house sometime in the next 6-12 months.

He has a beautiful cat whom we both adore, but he cannot move into mine. The lady we had arranged to look after him for this period has pulled out with no explanation with 4 days to go. Sad

We have asked everyone we know, no one can take him. I am feeling so stressed and worried about the situation, the very last thing we want to do is to give him away. I'm on the verge of tears constantly.

Does anyone know of any service which would be able to foster him? I've searched everywhere online, but the only homes I can find are for homeless cats/cats which will be given away to someone else. It doesn't feel right to call Cats Protection or similar as he is very much loved and its a temporary situation. We desperately want him back when we move from here.

Does anyone have any ideas please? Flowers

Great stuff. Smile

And the best of luck for the humans staying with your parents. Wink

That is really good news and isn't he beautiful! Hooray for DP's boss and I hope you manage to get your own place soon.

It's possibly a double good news story. Smile

DP's boss might well become so used to having a cat around the house that he'll feel the cat-shaped hole when your boy goes back home with you and be toddling off to a nearby rescue. Here's hoping anyway.

Well that's a relief.

Giving away your cat 😦!

I'm so glad it's sorted out now. He's gorgeous!

I have to say that if my parents had given away my cat they wouldn't have seen me again, that's awful Flowers

Thanks all, I am considerably less stressed today! He will be off to his new (temporary) home tomorrow. Smile

Cozie- that would be a great outcome!

We do also have another cat, she has already been dispatched to DP's Mum's. Missing her loads already, we need to get a move on with this new house! Adding a pic just to show off! Grin

Very grateful for all the messages everyone. Flowers

So glad it worked out.

I was going to suggest cats' protection, I once had a pair fostered because their owner was in a refuge - different situation but similar for the cat.
