Two weeks ago my DDad passed, followed a week later by the cat. This leaves my DM on her own after 62 years of marriage and 50 years of owning cats. only three cats in that 50 years, two lived into their 20’s and one was run over at 10 yo.
My mum is now, very, very lonely. Me and DSis are ringing and visiting when we can, but both work full time and live a fair distance from her.
I think my mum would benefit from adopting an older cat 8 to 12 ish.
Would any rescue centres consider re homing to an 86 yo? Or do I need to go through the on line pet sites, or wait to hear of a stray looking for a home?
Unfortunately I’m not in a position to take on the cat if it out lives mum, as I have 2 dogs, and my sister wouldn’t, I don’t think. So there could be no possibility of ensuring a home for life.
How can I get her a cay under these circumstances?
