Male Cat Needing Home *urgent*

[emma_pen]

Rescue centres just aren't shifting cats/kittens right now and I have a very desperate cat here whose situation is becoming urgent.

Tom is 8 years old but young at heart, enormous (overweight) and friendly & affectionate. He has lived with children. He MUST have outdoor access so needs a semi-rural/quiet are to live. He cannot be strictly outdoors as he loves human contact, but he will not use a litter tray and is used to going outside his entrire life.

Nobody wants him because he is 8 (which in my experience is NOT old for a cat!) and black. But he's GORGEOUS! He is castrated, fully vaccinated, and treated for fleas & worms.

He is currently in the hospital but I am getting increasing pressure from my employer to get him out. I have had to tell them he has a home pending, though he doesn't. I have been searching for 3 weeks.

Can anyone help???

Shame you are so far away good luck in finding him a home

8 certainly isn't old Em. Poor cat - really hope he finds a home soon. I don't suppose CP could help? although knowing you, I'm sure you have tried everything. :(

where are you? I could give him a home if he needs one desperately. Although he may not want us. We have 4 children, 2 cats, both male - neutered.Based in Ayles

Hi all

Just to say Tom is now here, he did ok bless him on the journey. He ended up curling up in the back of the car - minus catbasket. He was shocked to find "others" when we arrived home, but they were just as shocked, especially as he is such a big cat. He is doing well I think. He loves going outside. The other cats just follow him at a discreet distance, fascinated! Will get pics and keep u posted on his progress. P.S. Never seen a cat so big (he's a bear)!

[Fran]

That's brilliant news, thank you for updating us and can't wait to see some piccies :-)

[Sweet]

Great news......yep agree, would like to see pics x

[Mags]

Good to hear Tom is settling in well.......new adventures ahead for him!!:D

He sounds gorgeous so I'm looking forward to your pics of him!:cool:
