Hello, new from Nottingham and here to learn


Hello,

I am new to the forum and am in a position where I will be buying my first house which has opened the possibilities of having a cat or dog. I am looking to see whether I will be suitable to offer a cat a home. The only cat experience I have is friend who have had BYB kittens and I really want to study up and understand what the "right" way to do it is.

I have 6 rats who (in the new house) will have a rat room and have seen lots of members with both.

So I am here to learn and understand all I can.

Yes (under the same username)!

I have the house already and we are just waiting to complete (which is why I know I'll have a rat room)..Thanks for the great welcome guys!

Welcome to Catsey I'd advise going down the rescue route and phone round all your local rescues I don't know what rescues there are round Nottingham but will google for you.

Edit: Here's some links for you
http://www.animalaccident.org.uk/
BURTON JOYCE CAT WELFARE (link not allowed)
KIRKBY CATS HOME (ditto)
LIFE FOR CATS (ditto again)
http://rattiemommysallcarerescue.webs.com/
www.thorneywoodcatrescue.webs.com
www.mansfield.cats.org.uk
www.nottingham.cats.org.uk
www.millwoodcatrescue.co.uk
KILTON PET and RAPTOR RESCUE (link not allowed)
www.mayflowersanctuary.co.uk

Think that's enough for now
