Question

On behalf of eClaire:

Can anyone give a temporary home for a few months to a friendly playful kitten - litter box trained. Claire's ***** () needs a place to stay for a while as she is living with her gran and her gran is alergic to cats.

Claire will no doubt add further details when she gets access

Unhappy

Hi all!

It is my little kitty Josie. She is around 6 months old, playful, very very very affectionate, litterbox trained and just damned adorable.

She has passed her scratching furniture stage, so no need to worry about that.

She has been neutered. Although I have her as an indoor cat, she will be pretty much safe going out to play anywhere away from a main road.

Asking on scoobynet because is the last resort she has no where else to go and my mum has gone behind my back and told someone she can have her, and they are coming to see her tonight. I have been given 24 hrs to find somewhere for her because she is winding up my parents two fully grown male wimps. I am currently looking for somewhere to rent and suspect it will be in the next month or so when she can come back home to her mummmy .

So if anyone in the Edinburgh area is willing to house a cat, that buys its own food and pays its rent contact me

You will get me on my mobile: 07779 613 615

Thank you,

Claire

Shame.
Is there no other relatives you can go to that will look after it for the short time 'til you get a place?

I wish Alan

Although my family is big, the majority of them are young out every night, drink and chemicals etc Don't want my baby mixed up in that.

A lot of them suffer from asthma, or have dogs you know the usual excuses

eClaire/Saxo boy

Michelle & I are currently looking for a kitten of our own. I know you're wanting a temporary home for Josie and we would like to provide our home as a temporary home. But we don't have previous experience and we would like to take this opportunity to see if we really want a kitten of our own.

So this will opportunity will suit both of us, Josie getting a temporary home and us getting experience to see if we really want a kitten.

Any queries, feel free to contact me at anytime.

Cheers

Gordon & Michelle Shek

Clare.

If you do decide to go with Gordon, i'm going through to see him this week (i hope).

So if you're stuck to give her a lift i'd be more than happy.

As a cat owner, if this goes through and you need any advice on cats, drop me a mail.

Ask Dougie what our cat's like...

Claire
Hope you get it sorted. I know there is a lot of cat haters out there but i thought i could be pretty blase about the animals but I was seriously gutted when our kitten died after only 3 days. All seemed such a waste and i went through allsorts with "what if this" and what if that".
The cat we have just now is getting on in years but is a bundle of fun and always brings a smile to our faces.

Just remember Claire if you find somebody suitable to look after your cat, to give them something familiar as well like a blanket/bed/towel etc.
A cat doesn't take too kindly to change, so if you have something it accepts as being "theirs", this will help the change in surroundings.

E-mail if you need any advice.

Alan
