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

That's a lovely picture, tarafitness!

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.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
