Posted previously about the lovely incontinent girl we’d been given the go ahead to adopt. We’ve jumped through every hoop the rescue has thrown at us (and I understand why there were so many, she’s very special) and make the 100 mile round trip once a week to visit her. They’ve now pushed back the adoption again, for another month Sad. We’ve visited numerous times, had 2 home checks, built an enormous cat climbing frame in the garden as per their suggestion and now I’ve got a niggling feeling that this isn’t go to go ahead. Raaar, sorry, I just need a rant!

What's their reason for the delay?

thecatneuterer · 24/04/2018 10:55

Good heavens. People willing to adopt incontinent cats are as rare as hens' teeth. You'd think they'd be falling over themselves. What reasons have they given?

Toddlerteaplease · 24/04/2018 11:27

Oh for goodness sake. What's the reason this time. You are that cats only hope. Can't they see that?

Justonedayatatime11 · 24/04/2018 11:35

Apparently not. They haven’t given a reason. I’m loathe to say too much for fear of someone from the rescue being on here. But she’s a ‘big’ cat, in both senses of the word and she’s stuck in a tiny room, all by herself, desperate for space! Sod it, she’s a f4 Savannah, so exceptionally intelligent, very energetic and easily bored. So frustrated. I appreciate she’s had a terrible time of it, but I don’t know what else we can do! I’ve even learnt how to express her bladder in case the incontinence doesn’t ever improve. I just feel like there’s something they’re not telling us now

That's awful, it doesn't sound as though they are that bothered about the poor cat. Can you escalate this at the rescue?

VimFuego101 · 01/05/2018 11:49

It seems crazy that they're willing to pass up an adopter willing to take on that level of special needs. Did they specify why?

Toddlerteaplease · 01/05/2018 11:55

Very odd. Don't know what else you could do.

Justonedayatatime11 · 01/05/2018 12:16

I don’t know who to escalate it to. I just don’t understand why they made us do everything if this was going to happen!

They’re still ignoring me Sad I don’t know whether to just give up. But I really don’t want to!

I’ve never heard such nonsense in my life. Does one of the volunteers want her or something?

Toddlerteaplease · 09/05/2018 17:25

Keep fighting for her Op. you may be her only chance.

SneakyGremlins · 09/05/2018 17:27

Could you possibly go in person and demand answers? or kidnap the poor girl

Justonedayatatime11 · 09/05/2018 18:33

I’m trying, believe me. I just don’t understand it! I feel sick thinking of her in that tiny room
