Adult indoor cat wanted

mack2

Hi im looking for an adult indoor cat to join our family.
Have had cats for years but due to time etc after our old cat died we didnt get another so have been catless for about 4yrs....
This is the ideal critera (if possible lol)
* Adult cat
* Indoor (always had them indoor, outdoor space is available and not a prob) so litter trained
* Used to children - my kids (10&4) dont poke or prod but would like to rub!
* Used to dogs - we have 3 outside in their run but they exit and enter the house for walks.
* Neutered (but can get that done)
* SOH and attitude.....a definite must!
* shorthaired over longhaired

I am in Kilkenny and will travel a reasonable distance to meet the potential new cat....will not take just after a conversation i need to meet the cat with the kids first. Money mmmmmmm i understand some people have paid for pedigree cats i dont like it as this is a family home but....never say never - just never tell the hubbie!

thank you


btw i have contacted the shelters and got the `we will ring you tomorrow.....`that was from 2 shelters last week and no phone calls!

Where are you based, there is a shelter in Drogheda that does a LOT of cat and kitten rehoming, they have absolute bucket loads of adult cats, and I know they're quite willing to try meet you half way with regards to transport. If you're able to travel yourself and the distance isn't an issue, I think this would be a great place to start!

Thanks ShaShaBear will certainly try them esp if they can come down partway!

Hi Mac2, if you go to Facebook, Feral cats Ireland is a page used by a lot of rescues. Don't let the name put you off, they won't give you a wild cat. Its a page used by rescues that rehome cats and also care for feral cats, to share information. You can post your message there and I'm sure you'd get plenty of help on there. I think every rescue in the country is overflowing with cats needing homes.

About an hour's drive from you in Wicklow is <snip> animal rescue. They're a couple that has opened their home to all kinds of animals and they have loads of gorgeous cats. They operate a 'no-kill' policy in their shelter so they are often over-run and rely on donations to keep all the animals housed and fed. It is a lovely spot too.

<snip>

Also, a great trip for kids too as they get to meet all the animals in their environment - in the kitchen, the living room, the grounds, etc!

mod note: please don't name or link to rescue groups, as per the forum charter.
Thanks,
DBB

Great name!
Just think of the fun with misunderstandings when you refer to 'Granny' lounging around on the back of the couch or coughing up hairballs!:D
