Unhappy Looking for loving attentive home for 2 x 3 year old female indoor cats


I am very sadly looking to re-home these two beautiful girls of mine, due to changes in my life whereby I am not at home as much I used to be due to work commitments and the fact that my partner (who came along much after I got my babies) has an allergy to pets.
Caramel & Fudge are sisters, are 3 years old, they both want lots of love and attention, which they deserve.
The problem that I have is simply I do not have enough time to give them the attention they need unfortunately and feel really guilty about it and although I love them to bits I feel that someone else might be able to show them the attention, care and love they crave and deserve.
They are both fit and well, litter trained and indoor cats on dry food.
They are the sweetest cats with wonderful temperaments and still playful (kitten-like) at 3 years old.
They have both been together with me since they were 12 weeks old , as such I am not prepared to separate them now, and they need to be homed as a pair.
They have been indoor cats in this time, so they will require some assistance adjusting to the outdoors, so a back garden would be ideal/required rather than a front garden or busy main roads.
They have both been spayed & micro-chipped as such while they are free to a good home you will need to update their identity-chip records which may incur an administration cost at most.
Would suit a family with children or home where someone can make a fuss of them.
They have a scratch post; they tend to sleep anywhere but their beds, so I gave up getting them beds!

At the risk of getting myself hated, this is not the time of year to be looking for homes for non-urgent cases. Rescues are full to bursting and the kitten season has only just started. Wait until the kitten season is over, try perhaps in November.

I would give the same advice too many cats in shelters as it is especially as they need to be rehomed together which will make things more difficult. Last thing they need is more cats unless 100% have no where else to go.

As above I wouldn't go down the rescue centre route, you can pop to local vets to advertise etc, hope you manage to find your girls a lovely new home! Your making a very hard decision & your obviously putting your cats first!
Good luck

As a responsible cat owner, Caramel & Fudge were both kittens when I got them as stated in my post, I am very aware that it is 1. Kitten season & 2. Rescue centre's are overflowing.
Rescue centre's are my very last option and I am already on a waiting list, however as I have made the hardest decision already, I would prefer my girls to be re-homed to another cat loving family rather than going to a rescue centre where there is no guarantee of the girls being re-homed together, therefore I'm obviously posting on here in the hope that I will find someone who will rehouse the girls for me and give them a good home without going to a rescue centre as I have been trying to re-home the girls for sometime now.

Holly2009 - Thanks for the advice about advertising at vets, I never thought of that.

could your partner chat to the doc to see if there are medicines to help with the allergies ?

That would be fine if I had the time to give them which I don't any more and they deserve more than I can give them now as I explained in my original post.

Re: Looking for loving attentive home for 2 x 3 year old female indoor cats

The first place I would suggest is contact rescues.. And the reason being is if you request they go in a pair they usually make sure they do go in a pair.... Also any home that would be interested in these cats would be checked..

Kelly-Joy works very hard helping animals into rescues and then into for ever homes.. She also helps sort out foster homes for pets in rescues.. She also helps dogs out of a death row situation even if it means organising transport right across the country to ensure these animals go to a no kill rescue..
Kelly and her team also collect gifts and raise money so they can help Rescues in there bid to keep helping animals...

If you are going to give these cats free.. Just be very careful who take them from you..

Best of luck in your bid to find the girls a home.. xxxx

Re: Looking for loving attentive home for 2 x 3 year old female indoor cats

However busy rescue centres may be, please do make them your first point of contact, if they can help, they will. Whatever the time of year, better they are re-homed via rescue than privately ... certainly safer for the cats concerned

A rescue may not be able to take them immediately but very much the best option for your girls.
