Hello,
About 8 weeks ago I took in a stray with the intention of finding him a forever home. He clearly was a home cat at one point but had obviously lived on the streets for a while. He was so skinny and so dirty (the vet initially registered him as grey and white eventhough he is pure white...
@Norachan
The boys at the shelter have given her a name but I forgot to ask what last time I was there. I was too busy meeting the roughly 300 other cats there and taking a small tour of the overcrowded premises.
I really fear for this shelter. They are really struggling financially and are in...
UPDATE 27/DEC/14
Just an update for anyone that has been following this story and would like to know the current fate of the cat.
I visited Mecat's premises two days ago and as I thought the cat still hasn't been adopted. I don't expect her to be adopted anytime soon either. For potential...
@GemsGem and @kagami thank you very much for the welcome.
Lolly is the grumpy 12 year old DSH from the UK. She hates noise and is a very timid cat. I got her from a pet shop in London when she was about 8 weeks old and she spent the first couple of weeks hiding under the sofa. 12 years later...
I will contribute financially towards the transportation of this cat to a loving and secure place which she can call home If anyone might be interested. I've already done most of the work and the most expensive thing left to do is the transportation cost which might be surprisingly reasonable...
At the moment the cats are confined to indoors only. If over two hundred cats were allowed to roam the neighbouring villas or even the grounds of the premises which acts as a shelter, the neighbours would complain and the municipality would shut them down for sure.
The food bills are high, the...
For sure donations to Mecats would help. The cost of taking care of so many animals is extremely high and as I mentioned previously they are really struggling. But what would help them more is finding homes for the cats to reduce the financial burden on the rescue organisation.
As mentioned before I recently imported two cats to the UAE one from Russia which is roughly a 5 hour flight and the other one from the UK which was roughly 8 hours. I was concerned about my 12 year old coming from the UK on a long flight because she is old and very timid but surprisingly she...
If you think that someone in the US might be interested in adopting her I can find out how much transportation would be. I have just imported two cats to the UAE. One from the UK and the other one from Russia and you are right the whole process wasn't cheap. But considering that I have already...
Hi,
I joined this site originally to introduce my 10 months Russian blue kitten and 12 year old DSH. Unfortunately I have been very busy until now rescuing a stray that was involved in a road traffic accident which took about one month to nurse back to health...
Thank you all for your kind words and your advice. This is a fantastic site with great people and without your valuable advice and support I couldn't have helped this cat on my own. Each and everyone that advised me has played just as important a role as me in saving this cat's life.
It's each...
