Welfare

Oz is a seven year old Fawn Abyssinian boy who, unfortunately, is not happy in a multicat household. He is therefore looking for a new home where he will be the centre of attention. Oz is neutered and microchipped and likes people once he gets over his initial shyness. He is tolerant of dogs and may also accept one or two other cats so long as introductions are made carefully. Can you offer this handsome boy a forever home with access to a very safe garden (as he has no experience of roads)?

Please email or phone Harriet on 0208 669 1655 if you feel able to offer this lovely boy a home.


 

Oscar needs a home very urgently.  He is twelve years old, a neutered usual male living in north London. He  needs a home because his owner has had to move into rented accommodation where animals are not allowed.  Oscar should be an only cat, he is not used to dogs, but is good with children, his owner has an 8 year old and 5 year old twins. 

Please email or phone Harriet on 0208 669 1655 if you feel able to offer this boy in urgent need a home.


Fortunately there are not usually many Abys needing to be rescued by our Welfare Department, and there is usually a waiting list of good, carefully checked homes for them to go to.  Currently, however, homes for Abys in need would be very much welcomed.  Our Welfare Officer is Harriet Patey (tel. 0208 669 1655)

Harriet co-ordinates those Abyssinians that need help with people who are seeking to give homes to these unfortunate cats.   If at all possible the breeder is contacted first.  The kitten may have been sold in good faith to an excellent home, yet circumstances may change and sometimes it is just not possible for the human family to go on caring for the Abyssinian.  When this occurs, our Welfare Officers should be contacted immediately, as the sooner these problems are resolved the better it is for the cat.   

There are usually about a dozen Abys needing new homes every year, and many times this number of people offering homes to Welfare cases.  However an emergency situation can easily mean that a whole group of Abyssinians suddenly needs help.  If YOU have (or know of) an Abyssinian needing a new home, please contact Harriet NOW.  If you can provide a good home for a needy Aby, or can offer help with transport or a donation, again please do contact Harriet by e-mail or on the above telephone number.
