The first one, Bam Bam is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen! I think I would squeeze him until his little blue eyes popped out.

The RSPCA didn’t have any available, and they put you through some crappy interview process much like on The Apprentice, including home visits etc…

]

what!

That crappy interview process will protect animals from twattish owners...I know two of these officers who do home visits and some of the stories they could tell you would curl your toes

 

[Mendoza]

As I said before Dave, maybe it was just the two women working that day being particularly rude, condescending and not particularly helpful. If they had been nice about it, maybe even friendly, I wouldnt have had such a bad opinion of them.

As for home visits, we had one a couple of months back and passed (with a view of getting a puppy). They said we need another one, but wouldnt guarantee on it being this side of christmas

Lostcats do have certain restrictions on there cats - not that I can remember them all but you definetely cannot take a cat home until they have had it for 30 days incase the last owner turns up.....

My parents tried to adopt a cat from a shelter about fifteen years ago. They were refused, reason given- because they would let the cat out at night if it wanted to go out.

Mate you gotta understand that although you are probably very good cat owners that anyone can waltz into the RSPCA and say the right things - the rescues wouldn't be doing their job if they let just anyone walk in, say the right things and walk off with a cat. Home visits aren't painful at all, they'll just pop round, spot that you're going to be an excellent home then you can pick your cat up!

PLUS most animals from rescues are neutured, wormed and have had a full vet check.

THIS ...swallow your pride ....put up wth the daft patronising questions ....and go this route . It is better for every body not least the cats........

 

[Gully]

I wouldn't get one from a pet shop personally. My two cats came from Worthing Cat Rescue, and they (WCR) were very good - they had about 26 to choose from at the time I went, although there were no actual kittens - my two were about 9 months old at the time. Other than that I would go to a breader or ask around friends, as there are often people who have some from a litter of kittens.

Good call. My brother, who used to live in Worthing, got one from there. Apparently it had been liberated by the Police from a drugs den and although still a kitten hadn't been well looked after...for the first few weeks it refused to sleep in the cat basket and prefered to curl up in a large plant pot they had in the living room, emerging every morning covered in dirt...despite a difficult start to life he has turned into a really good cat, though he is prone to go wandering for a few days at a time, usually returning with a rabbit...which on occasion he has eaten almost completely!

My parents were given a grilling by the Cats Protection League...they wanted to know how the previous cat had died, despite it being an estimated 17 years old and being despatched by the vet...if you treated a cat badly there is no way it would hang around for anything near that long!

IIRC you're not supposed to if they are still young kittens. An older cat would be fine.

Yeah that was it they were going to force little kittens out at night, obviously

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

We werent like that when we went to the RSPCA, its just how you come out feeling, they made us feel like idiots that had never looked after a pet before. Maybe it was just the ladies who were on shift that day.

The only reason we wanted one this weekend is that we want a pet for christmas

If that's what you told the people at the RSPCA I'm not surprised they sent you off with a flea in yer ear

 

[Zamora For England]

Haven't read the whole thread so sorry to repeat anyone. Paws and Claws in Sayers Common - cat rescue centre - might not necessarily have kittens but a worthy cause. Got two tabbies in 2008, become the focal point of our life, still contribute to them with donations.

Who said anything about forcing kittens out? Jeez I was just telling you the probable reasoning behind them turning you down.

Good luck, Let us cat lovers know how you get on.
I want another one now, But the three we have and myriad of local waifs & strays that visit my garden will have to do for now.

That is an astonishingly dangerous site

PS Don't disregard the older ones. They also need a home and are just as friendly as the kittens (more personality if slightly less obviously cute)

 

[brighton_girl87]

My missing cat is on that Lost Cats Brighton site and still hasn't been found
