Important (and sad) announcement regarding TC

[Grumpyoldpersonwithcats]

I’m really very sorry to announce that our NDN (TC’s Dad) is moving away.
Without going into too much detail his marriage broke up a little while ago and his children are now in Australia, but the final nail in the coffin is that his landlord is demanding the house back. As a result of all of this he is moving back to his native Germany.
While he’s able to take the dogs, the flat he is moving to and his expected work patterns means that he can’t take TC and give him the life he deserves
So…
If any of TC’s admirers would like an ‘opportunity’ to take him on (before he gets taken to Battersea Old Windsor), we’d be interested to hear from you. We'll obviously ask lots of questions to ensure that any offers are serious about TC's needs.
TC needs unfettered access to outdoor space, and an experienced cat owner (and understanding neighbours).

Were someone from MN to take him on, it would be nice to think that his escapades would continue to be documented on the site.
Oh – and his real name is Gizmo. - Gizzi to his friends.

Any questions please PM me or @TCsDad

We're thrilled too!

Mr SB and I are travelling 60 miles this evening, to meet TC and take him to our house.
Linney should be okay with a companion.

I hope he doesn’t bully your beautiful Linney,

This is wonderful news. TC has landed on his paws.

Wow. He is coming to Scotland. Wonder if he will be near me .

TC is very sociable, it’s the grumpy cats who decided the inns full.

It will take ages for them to stop looking for him too.

Oh that is good news. I was going to say Grumpy hadn't really sold me on TCs amiable character over the 6 threads but that's brilliant news he's off to Scotland with @TheShellBeach

I hope he settles in and loves Linney as much as he loves Sybil.

You are not the only one who was feeling rather emotional about all this. Such good news he is going to you TheShellBeach.

I wish all the best to TC's dad, TC, Grumpy and Shell.

We live in Argyll.

Ohhh! He can pretend to be a Scottish Wildcat!

What lovely news.

Best wishes to TC’s old family (most definitely including the Grumpy household) and his new one. I really hope it all works out.

Ohhh! He can pretend to be a Scottish Wildcat!

Pretend?

Linney will give him tuition in wildcatting.

Oh what a lovely ending to a fraught time!
Thank you @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats and @TheShellBeach , I bet everyone will be looking forward to seeing Gizmo snuggled up with Linney and living his best life up North. Good luck @TCsDad, it must be hard to say goodbye to such a character as Gizmo but I hope it is some consolation that he has gone to such a splendid new home.😻😾
Edited to correct spelling of TC's name

What a fantastic outcome! Good luck TC!

Aw! That’s not near me! I am in bits! Never mind , you will be soon.

Shell!!!

What amazing news and what a great effort from Grumpy to help ensure the best home for the best stripy boy.

TC has always wanted to be part of a multi cat home so he’ll be ok.

Just shows how quickly life can change.

@TheShellBeach this just came up on my Instagram feed - just wondering which will be Linney and which Gizmo (or maybe they will alternate)

Fantastic news, just wonderful he’s found a loving home

This is lovely! Aren't you going to be a bit starstruck, meeting Gizmo in the flesh? So glad we will still get updates. And hope that we still get updates on Grumpy's fur army!
Maybe TC can FaceTime his old chums.

You're a brave woman!

That's amazing news, Shell. TC and Linney will be among the handsomest cat households in Scotland.

I was idly scrolling through this thread, spotted the news, shouted "oh my goodness!" (sorry to Walter who is snoozing on my lap) and paused the TV to read properly.

Amazing news. I hope so much that it works out well @TheShellBeach.

Have a look at the latest Excellent Cats thread

I'm so glad he's got a loving home and I'm hoping we'll still get updates. I miss my boy who died last year (who looked and behaved exactly like TC) and seeing him on here makes me happy. I would have adopted him like a shot if I didn't have 2 others.

@TheShellBeach I watch the excellent cats threads so saw it just after this one. So pleased to see it's going well.
