Lovely cat looking for a good home

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...

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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
