Well I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I really do I hope that Frilly has found a good home for them!

I disagree. There are many ways to deal with allergies. Pets are not disposable objects to be gotten rid of when they are no longer convenient, and I find "allergies" to be a lame excuse for dumping two senior cats.

In addition you should NEVER EVER advertise "cats free to good home" anywhere, but especially on the internet. Sicko's cull these kinds of websites looking for these kind of ads, take the cats and do unspeakable things to them.


I think it's awful you are dumping your cats, but at least take them to a rescue or shelter (where they will probably remain the rest of their lives) who properly screen and charge adoption fees.

Re: Cats - free to a good home (CHESTER)

Allergies can and do creep up at any age. I know what I'd do if I developed an allergy, I'd still keep the animals that I made a life long commitment too when I bought them...

With respect, you should be careful in how you rehome these two. Don't want to upset any one but some times not so very nice people will trawl the internet looking for cats free to good home to use as bait in dog fighting. Also make sure they go some where that isn't going to pass them on again. Free to good home attracts impulse buyers. These are senior cats and as I am sure you appreciate need a secure and happy home.

I'd give your vets a ring they may have numbers for local rescues and be able to help. Also try the cats protection league. If your still not having any luck I have fostered cats before and may be able to offer some help.

Re: Cats - free to a good home (CHESTER)

i agree with most posters here. there is a test that the doctor can do to CONFIRM you are allergic to cats and not something else and anti histamines can limit the allergies side affects runny nose itchy eyes rashes etc. it would be a shame to give away two 9 year old cats just because you think you and partner MAYBE allergic to them. if you no longer want your animals then take them allong to a rescue centre (who are overrun underfunded) who will endevour to try and rehome them properly being nine years old i doubt very much that they could be rehomed,but what a shame.

i understand one perspectave that because you and partner maybe alergic you want to rehome them, but to wait such a long time to finally admit you maybe allergic to them isnt very fair on your cats, shoulda admitted this earlier when they were younger would of been easier on them to settle into another home.

think if anti histamine can limit most of your allergies symptoms for a few pounds a month you woundnt have to rehome them and carry on giving them love and affection.
