    Can anyone help me find a UK version of boards, with a animal welfare section?

    I don't want to go into too much detail but a family member passed away in London leaving 2 semi feral cats in her garden and we need to rehome them. We did rehome one house cat already through friend of a friend, and none of the shelters we contact want to know about the outdoor ones.

    I'll look now, Boards does have a UK board =]

    Edit: It's down for a good long while, sorry OP http://www.boardsgroup.com/

    Thanks I thought that but couldn't find it.
    I have found a site that looks promising, but the more the better.

    Just seen your edit, thanks anyway.

    Emailing every charity in London I can find, anyone any ideas?

    Whereabouts in London? I got a feral kitten from a place in Enfield, North London but that would have been about 12 years ago now, don't know if they're still operating.

    You may get some help if you post on some other sites here in Ireland that the rescues use, I'll pm you, they may have contacts in London they could pass onto you.

    digital spy is like boards but much bigger and they have a pets section when you go into forums. You have to pay £5 to actually join and leave a comment but thats only a once off payment and you're joined for life!! You can still look at the forums without joining though so maybe you should do that first and see if it has what you're looking for!:)

    Both boards have oodles of rescues posting, both cats and dogs.

    Thank you to all of you, I will try all those places.
    Unfortunately any reply I receive from the rescues is the same, we're full/not taking any cats at the moment, or one said as they're not house cats they won't take them.
    I'll keep trying, and my dad is trying to tame them, we have found they don't like being kept inside(wasn't pleasant).
    We have a few weeks hopefully, so fingers crossed.

    petforums.co.uk brilliant place with members from all over the UK, Im sure someone there can help you.

    Meant to say quite a few rescues post there too.

    Thank you all, we have two leads now, both say they may be able to take them I just need to make a few calls. I'm so glad these two old boys will have somewhere to go, was really beginning to worry.
