Lovely cat looking for a good home


mvt

Recommended Posts

Hello


We're looking for a new home for our cat Albie. He's 7 years old, in good health and has a lovely friendly personality. We're reluctantly looking to give him away as we think he'll be happier elsewhere - since the arrival of our son over a year ago.


Albie is a handsome chap, pictures attached, and very much a lap cat. He's friendly with everyone including strangers and children, but not so keen on noisy toddlers. He's an outdoor cat and knows how to use a scratching post. He's up to date with his jabs and flea and worming treatment.


If you're interested in giving Albie a loving home with a garden then please do PM me. We live in SE22. Albie generally gets on fine with other cats, but is definitely more of a lover than a fighter!


Thanks


Matt

Not wanting to judge, but it has to be said that when you take on the responsibility for a pet, you take on the responsibility for their lifetime and now just when it suits you.


Your cat seems quite happy - you could just say you just don't want him anymore. Would that be fair?


Kids and pets are actually a great combo.

Toddlers turn into older children, and with the right guidance become a lot quieter and more gentle. Our cats used to keep their distance from our toddler (who's a lot more boisterous than his 6 year old brother) when he was younger, but at 2.5 he's calmer and they like him a lot more. Especially as he takes it upon himself to feed them, and give them gentle strokes and head tickles.


I was desperate for a pet growing up. I think it's lovely for children to be around animals, teaches them about kindness and responsibility for others. I really hope you reconsider and are able to make it work for you, they might end up as great pals! x

He looks like a lovely cat.


What about giving albie some higher places to hang out - out of reach of toddler so he can eacape if he wants to?


Agree he looks a lovely happy cat. Nice for kids and pets to geow up together...

From experience (my kids) newborns / young children and cats (or other pets) aren?t mutually exclusive, they can co-habit well.

As a young child, growing up with pets is great !

Chucking a member of the family out, such as Albie, hopefully is avoidable.

Hello, we?re a family of three and are thinking about getting a cat for our seven year old son who?s calm and gentle. We live in a house on Ondine Road and have a garden backing onto the wildlife trust centre. If any of that sounds good, perhaps we could meet Albie and we?d be happy for you to vet us, and see our house and garden to reassure you.


Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

    • In March Oli and his team did an excellent job of the following work at a property I manage.  1. Completely removing existing broken front path. Covering and securing the void (coal shute) beneath using concrete lintels, waterproof membrane and concrete. Laying a compacted sub-base and new clay pavers. 2. Removing broken fence. Securely installing 6 fence posts and 5 fence panels across the end of the back garden. Base of posts wrapped in plastic  sheath and set in post mix. 3. Removing broken render from terrace steps and cleaning then re-rendering steps where needed and repairing other parts.  4. Jet washing rear patio. I would like to thoroughly recommend him to you for a job done very well at a fair price.  
    • This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣   But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye. 
    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
