They just said they dont let people have the kittens if the kitten will become an indoor cat. I should of asked more questions when she said that but I was quite shocked and was upset at the time!

Ughhh, cant believe it lol.

Oh cool, I was on the phone for hours from 9am till like 2pm trying to get tickets, everywhere had sold out, finally got some that are in the gods. So when they put new dates up in Aug I got a link to the pre sale tickets whoo hoo.

Unfortunately the CP rules are just guidelines which the branches operate by, so essentially they interpret them how they see fit. Also, it's very difficult, because even with a branch like ours which is quite forward looking as we have a super co-ordinator, some of the volunteers who get involved have very strong views and tend to impose those rather than follow prescribed guidelines.

If you feel very strongly about this Jane, why don't you get back in touch and speak to the co-ordinator or actual rehoming officer and state your case logically without getting over-emotional? This may end up with you getting what you want!

That is so strange! I wonder if each branch of the CP has different 'ground rules' as our Glasgow one will rehome kittens as indoor cats only. Glasgow is a busy city so maybe they encourage indoor cats to prevent RTA?

We really didn't have any problems with our CP. Our flat isn't the biggest and I was worried they might think two large male cats would find it stifling but they said it was perfect for them!

When I rang my local CP branch (about three years ago!), I told them I wanted an indoor cat. They wouldn't let me have a kitten but said I could have an old cat or one with feline aids. As a result of that, I had to look elsewhere.

Surely, if an animal is going to a good home, it doesn't matter if it is an indoor or an outdoor does it? In my opinion, if you are a good owner, you wouldnt buy a cat for outdoors if you lived on a busy road, so why do CP have to be fussy. :S
