Ideal british blue but would consider other colours.

We have had two blues in the past, Oliver and Saffy, both of whom were elderly when we got them - Oliver was 15 and made it to 21, Saffy was 18/19 and made a further 18 months, ruling our household.

There is an extremely large Saffy shaped gap and the ones left behind are rudderless, no one stepping up to be in charge. We need a diplomatic, tactful but firm british short hair to come in and take over!

We have 3 young ex ferals who are 2-5 years old, a sociopathic Burmese blue who was sold to us as a british blue but is very oriental in nature - would do best on his own, but he has mellowed over the years, and we have two tabbies who are 12 and 16 respectively.

Rural home plenty of space of them to avoid each other if they want to or be sociable if they do.

No rush, just have an ache to have another british short hair as they have such wonderful temperaments.

My friend has the most gorgeous british blue ... she's a fosterer for the CPL ... he is male ... she is on holiday this week but if you're interested pm me ...

We are in north wales though ... Clare x

otherwise you could always try the british short cat clubs at their welfare section

thank you, have looked at most of their websites but the cats tend not to be suitable to house with others i.e. prefer to be solo cats.

sometimes it might be worth trying breeders who are looking for homes for ex-queens or maybe even ex-stud boys or even older kittens still looking for homes

thank you, will keep looking.

after all that, we have today come home with 2 x elderly persians who have been in care for more than a year, since their owner died.

one is very skinny, old girl, the boy is in better condition but was depressed. they have settled in quite the thing already.....

And when I got home there was an email offering me two british blue girls.

typical isn't it?

oh wow well done for offering them a home
