Re: Rescue cats and pedigree cats
Yes, sadly, it's not the 1st time i've heard stories like yours Clucks & Jem Years ago we went to a rescue for a dog, after walking about and reading all the info, found a lovely irish wolfhound cross, he'd been in there a year!! So we enquired, they said no sorry, he's too boisterous and you have kids!! I said, well I puppy walk for Guide dogs and they don't have a problem and theres nothing so boisterous as a Lab. No, they did'nt want to know. No wonder the poor dog had been there so long!! It was the same at all the other places. In the end I found a breeder of Rhodesian Ridgebacks and we bought one, he was a few weeks old when we chose him, he's coming up to 8 yrs old in July
Glad you rescued the ferrel cat
I do agree too that rescues only see 1 side of the story, but there are truly loving genuine people willing to give an unwanted animal a home.
