    Aw that is awful I would take her in a heartbeat if I could! We are in the middle of house hunting at the moment and if everything goes to plan we should be in our own house in 3 months from now. We could definitely take her then for as long as you need. It's just in the meantime we can't because we are currently living with my mum and already have a cat here who is NOT friendly to other animals

    I really hope someone can help you now, and if you need someone to mind her in 3 months time we are more than happy to.

    I know what you mean about lack of space, but maybe try to convince your mum that kitty needs rescuing or things might be looking grim for her, and it's just a few months!

    If it helps at all, Pumpkin, I've found that most cats won't get along right off the bat, but given time, they learn to if not like each other, then at least live with each other. My mum's stroppy fluffbag was *most* upset to have two strange kitties in *his* house when we moved in, but after a few weeks he settled down and they all learned to just tolerate each others' prescence... and when we moved into this house, Mr Ginger was pretty p-o'd that there were two dopey new tabbies he was expected to share with, but now they're all best mates. And after seeing Mash learn to get along with our cats, mum ended up getting a Siamese and they've now learned to be housemates, if not BFFs... is there a way your MIL would be willing to put up with a couple of weeks of kitty-spats until they all settle in together, or is she dead-set against upsetting her baby by introducing it to yours? I really hope you guys can work it out!!

    Aww girls thankyou all so much Means a lot to have your support.

    Glamourcide: Bluebelle WAS MIL's cat, but she gave up on her and chucked her out, because she couldn't be effed with her. I would LOVE to have her hear, but my mum already has 2, and three would be a stretch on food and litter etc (mum doesn't have a lot of dosh, we have none)

    Like I said, thankyou so much for your replies. I will show this to DF and he will b e touched too We are going to keep looking and search all avenues for someone to take her, here and IRL too. It's so sad she's been there so long, I'm scared they may put her down if no one will have her.

    Lots of love and thanks

    xx

    If I didn't have 3 cats already I would have loved to help out. Sadly one of my cats is a bit mean and still hates teh last cat we got (4 years later).

    I hope someone is able to help you out

    Which shelter is she in? I know the Cat Protection Society (in Greensborough) don't put any cat down that gets put in to the pens for adoption. Perhaps that shelter wouldn't either.

    if i was any closer i'd take her for you! she sounds like a gorgeous kitty, i hope you can find someone to temporarily take care of her. Are there any cat rescue groups in the area that could find a short term foster home for her?

    If I was already in Melbourne, I'd love to help out - but I won't be down there until sometime between April & June

    She's at a place in Keysborough atm that doesn't put their animals down (or so they say, I'm so cynical )

    So hopefully a nice family will adopt her, or even better, we find someone for her and we'll have her with us in a few short months
