Fingers crossed that Mandz can take your kittys.

I can totally get how you are feeling hun. I wish I could take them for you but DH would kill me if I came home with more animals... apparently 2 cats and 1 dog is quite enough ( i beg to differ, the puppy needs a friend )

I am sure you will find a great home!!!]]> Fri, 30 May 2008 21:21:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=399637&title=auckland-cat-help#399637 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=399593&title=auckland-cat-help#399593 Author: Paws

Hi,
Yes we are in Auckland. They are currently at the cattery in Glen Eden. You are more than welcome to go and have a look and a play with them.

Missy is very much a girl, she loves cuddles.
Rock is very much a boy, he loves outdoors.
They are both very indpendent but have always loved playtime.
They like to sleep indoors and have always loved the warmth!

We have never had any problems with them with our son, they sniffed the room and would check it out but never slept in there.

They come with a cage each, and we will supply a couple of months worth of revolution. ]]> Fri, 30 May 2008 15:33:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=399275&title=auckland-cat-help#399275 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=399269&title=auckland-cat-help#399269 Author: mandz

Hi Shorty

Are you in Auckland? We are thinking of getting a couple of cats, but were waiting until our son was a few more weeks old. Are they very playful? My husband really wants at least one cat that will play with him - cause that is what our last cat was like - unfortunately we had to have her put down earlier this year at approx 17 years of age due to ill health (old age really). I could talk to my husband and see if he would consider getting the cats sooner? (no promises - you know what men are like!)

Let me know.

Aw thanks ladies.
It just brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.

It is hard and I think we took them on to look after them for life and somehow I am failing them....

I rang the SPCA, she was so nice. It is $25 for the first cat and $10 for the next cat. They will home them together and guarantee they wont be put down (I have been told they only hold them for 7days).
I will get through this weekend and talk to a couple of friends to see if they will have them.

I don't know if I will be able to go through with it

Hi Shorty

I second trying TM.

We had to rehome my MIL's cat recently. She's moved in with us since her DH died and we aren't allowed another cat.

I put the cat's profile on TM and got several queries. I was contacted by a lovely lady who described where maddy would live if we chose her - it was perfect. She came and picked her up last weekend which was very sad for MIL. Then a few days later she sent me an email to let me know how maddy is settling in and she will email me again in a couple of weeks too.

I was concerned that giving away a cat on TM would be impersonal but it's actually been really good.]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 10:32:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=372634&title=auckland-cat-help#372634 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=372633&title=auckland-cat-help#372633 Author: peanut butter

I have a brother and a sister. They are about 6 years old now. They are desexed and their jabs are up to date.
If I found a home for them I will be able to give about 6months worth of flea and worm treatment that we still have.
My girl loves cuddles but my boy loves the outdoors and is happy to go without. They are both a bit overweight but have been since they were babies and the vet is happy with them (we tried diets but they never worked)

I had a cry about it last night, My boy was playing with them and just ended up wheezing so much. I know they are not the direct cause but they are a factor.]]> Fri, 02 May 2008 10:17:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=372617&title=auckland-cat-help#372617 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=371948&title=auckland-cat-help#371948 Author: .Mel

Awww I wish we weren't full up also (4 really is our limit!)

What about Trade Me? People have to contact you so you can approve the home they go to and could also specify they go together. Otherwise there is only really the SPCA...]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 16:49:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=371911&title=auckland-cat-help#371911 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=371894&title=auckland-cat-help#371894 Author: Shorty

It is very hard for me to go down this track....
We have 2 lovely moggies, but my son now has asthma and we are trying to help prevent it developing into anything serious.

I need to look into re homing them. Any advise please....I don't want to just get rid of them and want to place them in a place that will find them a loving home. I have tried friends and family and everyone is already full.

Any suggetions please]]> Thu, 01 May 2008 16:37:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16844&PID=371894&title=auckland-cat-help#371894
