Re: The Lonely cat next door

Hi Everyone, Thanks again for all the info which I will remember for future reference. However in this case I am very happy to say I met a kind and knowledgeable lady today who is looking after the cat mentally and physically and is well qualified to do so. Together with my neighbours friends all he...

Re: The Lonely cat next door

Hi Everyone, I popped to see Lonely this morning and she was sunning herself on the back steps and seemed in good spirits. This afternoon I called the Cat Protection Office to ask advice on a shelter and they will get back to me within three days as no one was available to take the call. If they are...

Re: The Lonely cat next door

Thank you everyone for the advice and perhaps as a dog parent rather than as a cat companion I might be overthinking her needs from what you say. I always thought cats didn’t like being wet but perhaps when it is mild outside they don’t mind. I think it would be less concerning if she wasn’t locked ...

Re: The Lonely cat next door

A little nervous doing so after the reaction from the RSPCA but hopefully they can at least discuss it with me. I have just been to see Lonely and my neighbour’s friends...

The Lonely cat next door

My elderly neighbour is in hospital and may not return home for a ‘while’. The house is available for the cat to use but is not in the best condition. The elderly cat now lives in the garden and has a cardboard box for shelter. Friends of my neighbour make sure she has food and water but do not live...
