omj624p Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Hi All Bit of an odd post here, but we have a cat that needs a new home, and all the usual re-homing places are not interested. Basically I recently bought a house with my G/F, but I am VERY allergic to her cat, so it needs a new home It's 15 yrs old, black, very shy and nervous (it spent 2 weeks behind the TV!), it only has 3 legs and one tooth!!! I feel really sorry for it, but needs must. But I would really like it to go to a new home rather than a shelter. The chance of it being rehomed from a shelter is unlikely, so I thought it couldnt hurt to post on here just incase there are some cat lovers who would like to give it a good home for its remaining years. Thanks for reading. Steve Failing that, does anyone have a sack and some bricks going spare?

Nothing wrong with a healthy sense of humour

FredTransit Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 One word. Piriton. Gary's sister is allergic, yet they breed them!
Retro-gone. Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 get a new girlfriend thats doesnt own a cat, she gets to keep the cat and you get a new bird, everyone wins
Dr Feelgood Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 aww the poor cat! id love to take it but my sister is allergic to animals
omj624p Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 Just showed this thread to my girlfriend, she's not hugely impressed with the suggestions so far especially not with you retroglam73
Dr Feelgood Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 well i doubt her kitty would be too impressed with her knowing what shes doing...rejection is hard to take
mk3cokebottle Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 come on mate have a heart , its really hard after having a pet for 15 years just to let go and find it somewhere new to live especially with its crudentials the poor fing and i bet your new g/f aint as up for it as you fink , i have had loads of pets like cats and dogs and after a while they become family not just a pet , trust me when the cat goes she will be upset and angry for ages ...... can you not just go to the docs and get some antihistamine tablets or treatment for a cat allergy etc as there are loads out now that you can just get over the counter have another think mate and see if there is anything else you can do before rehoming it also being 15 years old it wont be easy to find someone else to look after it like it should be and give it care that it has become custom too with a loving owner

pelvins Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 awww poor thing mr pelvins wont let me have anymore..hope you find a good home for it! mrs pelvins
omj624p Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 I've put up with it for 2 months, I'm actually now on really strong steriod pills and a steroid inhaler, and anithistamine pills too. It was so bad in the first week that I just couldnt breathe, hence the trip to the docs and the major pills! If I could keep it, I would (for Sarahs sake, not mine). It's just got to the stage where something has to change. Before we moved in together I wasnt able to spend any time at her place. And if she held the cat before she came over to my place then I could tell as I would be sneezing, etc almost straight away. I'm amazed I have survived this long. Oh, and the side effects from steriod pills isnt good either So, it's back to the ''good home wanted'' plea... I wont be letting her take it to a re-homing place, as that will be the end of it - it wont get another home from there. So I need to find someone who will give it a proper new home, or else I'll be stuck on these pills for the next few years....

FredTransit Posted August 6, 2008 Report Posted August 6, 2008 rescue societies are not as bad as you think. If you pick carefully they don't destroy any cat or dog. Try Battersea, the accept cats.
