james Mallett Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Dear all,I have advertised the cats with as many people as I know, on this forum and in the supermarket. Things are getting really tight now because I am going back to the UK in less than six weeks and I DESPERATELY need to have the cats rehomed by then. Does anybody have any other suggestions as to how I can do this. I'd offer to pay someone to foster them and find a new home for them if time runs out, but I'm concerned that people might only accept the money and then dump the cats. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgirl Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 are you not able to take them with you as they have a passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Mallett Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 No, because with the time that it takes to get the rabies jab, then the blood test and then the issuing of the new passport, we won't have enough time. Also we're moving into rented accommodation and we're not allowed pets. Can you think of anything that I can do. They are beautiful cats and I'm at my wits end what to do for the best.

Tourangelle Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Have you contacted the SPA to ask them for advice? Also you could try posting this in the "pets" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgirl Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 you could also try the totalfrance.com forum they have a good pet section.if you could have them at a later date in different accomodation there are some english kennels in france that will do the whole passport thing for you and then send the cats to you when the time comes.any luck with your vet,do they know anyone in your area that will foster them.

james Mallett Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Thank you for that, I will try totalfrance.com. But whats SPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgirl Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 SPA is similar to the RSPCA in the UK,they are in all big towns,dont know anything else as i have never dealt with them.do you have any local cat charities in the northwest that could help.i cannot think of anything else at the moment and i am a long way from you.

james Mallett Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 That would have to be the last resort. Poor little things spent about six months of their life in an animal shelter back in England. Thats where we rescued them from. Oscar had been abused and had loads of fur missing and Billie had been dumped in a shoe box outside the shelter. I couldn't do that to them again. There must be someone out there who could give them a loving home. I'll just have to keep trying. Thank you for your advice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Mallett Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Thank you. I will try the pet section. If you were prepared to take them, I would drive to where you live. How far is it from Brittany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james Mallett Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Thank you so much. I have put a posting in the pets section like you recommened, so hopefully something with come from that. Thanks for all your help though. Didn't realise it would be so hard to give them away. I thought I would have them for life. They are part of the family.

Catalpa Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Try AngloInfo too - there's a Normandy and a Brittany section. If you post re the cats on there, you will have to include their chip or tattoo numbers as it's a requirement on that particular site.http://normandy.angloinfo.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I suggested that a little earlier Catalpa, as Ant has now put this in the pets section, and he said he was going to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Mallett Posted July 16, 2005 Author Share Posted July 16, 2005 Dear All,I have just had a reply from a lovely lady who said she will take the cats, however, the only problem is, is that she is not going to arrive in Brittany until the end of September and I am leaving the end of August. Does anybody know someone who would foster them for a month in enclosed surroundings so they wouldn't run away until the lady was able to collect them. Any suggestion or recommendations would be MASSIVELY appreciated.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
