🆘SPECIAL APPEAL FOR OSCAR🆘
Today I spent some time with this very sad 9 year old cat, who has been completely let down by the human species. He came to us several months ago, unneutered but chipped, after straying for about 6 months. We immediately contacted the details on the chip, and as they had since had a baby, they decided that they didn’t want him back. We were gobsmacked, as you will not find a more gentle natured cat than Oscar. 💙
What struck me was firstly what a lovely, gentle cat he is and secondly how very sad and fed up he is in his pod at our Centre. He took a couple of minutes to lift his head, look at me and respond to my gentle head rubs.
Whilst as volunteers we go above and beyond for our residents, we are no comparison for a loving home and a comfy sofa to lounge on.
Oscar is starting to shut down, he is quite simply depressed and despite several appeals for a foster home for this gentle boy, AS AN ONLY PET, we are not receiving any suitable offers for him. Yes, he needs a renal diet, but we are prepared to supply this for any potential fosterer along with any subsequent veterinary care. Yes, he needs to be able to have safe, outdoor access…Oscar has missed a whole summer of sunbathing in a garden, which he really enjoys.
If you can offer this lovely boy a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy some home comforts, please get in touch with us. As usual, we cannot rehome near to busy/main roads or to families with children under 5.
