Hi Folk

My partner (Victoria) and I are looking to emmigrate to NZ (my home originally), and we've got 3 lovely persians that we kind of 'adopted' from Victoria's brother.

I've been put in charge of the task of finding the new home as Victoria is VERY attached to the little ones and is having a hard time parting with them. What I need to find is the PERFECT home.

I thought pet forums was a good place to start as most participants should be pet lovers to begin with. I'm wondering if there are any known places that are really for the true pet lover where I could advertise the cats. We ideally want to be able to vet ('scuse the pun) any new owners, and get to know them before handing over the little bundles of fluff.

Any thoughts, suggestions or comments welcome.


Thanks in advance for you help

Paul

Have rang an old associate of mine - she is passinate about persians and people us and down the county, but as we no longer speak have left a message on her phone in the hope that she looks at this thread.

I know it seems tricky but can you not take them with you? We were thinking about going to NZ once and looked into it and it's not that hard nor too expensive really. Also consider once you get out there your partner is going to be in culture shock and bereft of her social network. The cats will help her to settle in, especially as she is so attatched - she will mourn them for quite a while. Could it be worth taking them for her sake?

Hi this is Victoria here,

Thanks so much for all of your advise ! I am so grateful for some helpful and compassionate people right now. I adopted my cats from my Brother who went through a nasty break up and both parties had to move into flats. I have, since adopting the cats bonded with them and am finding the thought of letting them go extremly difficult. They are so precious and I am very anxious to find someone who will love them like I do. It's funny how you think that no one can love them as much as you do, but everyone has reassured me that there will be someone else out there who will love them even more than me !!! I just need to find that person. ANd how an earth do you go about finding that person ?

Please pass the message on to persian lovers out there that there are three needing a home. I would be prepared to let Salem and Cleo go together as they are Mother and Son. And then let Clonkers go on his own. They are all young cats and need a lot of TLC. I think they would do well with somekind of protected outside playhouse as they do (clonkers in particular) seem bored in our two bed top floor apartment.

Please feel free to email asking me all kinds of questions regarding our little ones.

From one crazy cat person to another

Hi,

I hope you get them good homes very soon. It is a hard decision for you to have to make but I can understand why you can't take them with you. Having flown three boys only to Zurich and have them go through alot of stress I have often questioned whether I brought them here for me or would it have been kinder to let them stay in the UK.

Chapelhouse Persian Rescue & Web Shop is a very good rescue as they carefully vet the homes for the cats and have a strict adoption policy. I hope it works out for you over there. Maybe eventually you will be able to get a kitten of your own out there once you are settled in your new home.

Izzie
