I remember a few years back before I even helped set up Animal Lifeline UK and was a re homing coordinator for a very well known Pedigree cat rescue, we had 2 Maine coons come in, now despite having their paper work to say they were they looked like 2 short haired very skinny cats my friend fostered these and it was only 9 months or so, after a lot TLC etc that did we finally see the start of what they should have looked like and by the time they were adopted out there was no mistaking that they were indeed Maine coons, in fact it was a lady on here who adopted one of these. So after seeing that for myself I can say that a cat in a picture and one that has had a rough life can look totally different in the fur and after months of TLC also does it really matter if he is or he isn't, he is still a poor cat that was abandoned by his owners who went off to live in another country leaving him to defend for himself, and who was luckily taken in by a kind hearted person who tried to find a rescue to take him to find him a a forever home where he will be spoilt rotten and be loved for the rest of his life never again having to find shelter and beg for food. This boy deserves a loving home now matter what breed he is
Kelly-Joy, I am sorry but I agree with the others that this lovely boy doesn't look like a British Blue. The shape of the face is just wrong. It almost looks like a cross with a moggy or Russian Blue.

I do agree that this boy deserves the most loving home but I don't appreciate the fact that he is advertised as being a pedigree when he so clearly isn't and there are no papers. To a large degree, that is misleading and your misselling him. Plus, I guess you are also falsifying the number of pedigrees vs moggies in rescue.

And as a cat as adorable as this, is that tactic really necessary.

Re: Buttons - 2 yrs old Blue British Shorthair

Like I said I can't comment as I haven't seen him in the fur. I haven't falsely advertised him either, we were told he was a BSH his micro chip says he is a BSH too.
I take great offence to your comments as well, how dare you say that I am
miss selling him what utter rubbish, he was in rescue and not up for sale
I am also not falsifying the number of pedigrees vs moggies in rescue.
I work to help both pedigrees and moggies to get into rescue, it doesn't bother me whether they are pedigree, moggie, black,white,ginger,grey etc if an animal needs help I help it and I can only go with the information I am given with that animal, I never falsify anything, I always give the information I am given thank you very much, and I don't take too kindly to people accusing me of doing anything other than that.

I know from your past rescue posts that you don't mind whether it is a moggy or a pedigree Kelly-Joy. I used the term "misselling" not in monetary terms, but in terms of making him out to be something that he isn't imo. And you are falsifying the stats when it comes to whether a moggy or ped has been rescued because you have him down as a pedigree, not a moggy or crossbreed or whatever else you might want to call him. And to be fair, a statement on a microchip doesn't mean eff all. You need papers for ped or some other form of provenance. What would have been wrong with just advertising (gawd I hate that word when it comes to animals) as a stunning cat?

PS: I am happy that he seems to have found a new home though! He deserves it; whether he is a ped or a mog.

Re: Buttons - 2 yrs old Blue British Shorthair

I am not as I said Patsy says he is a BSH she has many years experience of different breeds of cats and as she has seen him in the fur and I have not I can't comment to whether he is not, but I have no reason not to believe her and as I was told he was a BSH and the micro chip says he is and I have nothing to prove he isn't so I guess we shall have to leave it at that. He has a home now though so that is all that matter at the end of the day as far as I am concerned. I don't take to kindly to being called a lair though

Re: Buttons - 2 yrs old Blue British Shorthair

Reading this thread, I am sorry to see the vitriolic comments being directed at Kelly-Joy here. I think they are uncalled for.

Kelly-Joy quite clearly states that she has not seen the boy in the fur so is having to go on the advice, and information, of others. KJ cannot personally oversee every single cat she tries to home.

If KJ is told that Buttons is a BSH then she has to take that as a given - I don't think she really has the time to go around verifying the information provided to her.

If a potential new slave is THAT concerned about the pedigree of the cat they are looking to rescue then it is up to them to discuss it with the rescue the cat is situated with.

Kelly-Joy does a stellar job, under very difficult conditions, I think some people around here don't fully appreciate all that she does.

Well done KJ on assisting this gorgeous young boy - whatever breed he is - to get a new forever home. So many animals owe you so much and they will never know that.

You continue to be a grade A star in our house hun and Abby sends you some mega cuddles to keep you smiling.
