Kitten needed in Bournemouth, Dorset
Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2017 4:45 pm
Hi everyone,
My beautiful boy used up his 9th life earlier in the year, and our home is absolutely empty without a feline friend. I had thought that it would only be I who was heartbroken... What I hadn't realised is that after my mother's leg surgery - which, to her great frustration, forced her to rest often - my cat had been secretly sneaking into her room to sit with her during the day while I was at work! My mother is desolate; the first question she asks me over breakfast is "are there any new kittens on gumtree?" and the last thing she says at night is "have a lovely sleep, don't forget to check the Internet, because working mothers might have put some kittens on when their children have gone to sleep!"
I'm looking everywhere I can think of for a kitten (mother expressly does not want a grown cat). The Dorset cat rehoming centre (link from this website) explicitly does not rehome to Bournemouth; the one in Lymington does not have kittens, and the lady at the centre in Ferndown was so snooty when my mother told her we lived in Boscombe Manor (which is very different to Boscombe), that she refused to give any information on available kittens and told her that there would be plenty of private kittens available. Well... there are NOT plenty of private kittens available nearby Bournemouth. Does anyone have any further advice about places I could look, or know a kitten fitting the below description looking for a home? I already do a daily search before breakfast, on my lunch break and before sleep on gumtree, preloved, friday-ads, freeads and pets4homes, with no luck.
I'm looking for a single kitten
- under 6 months
- any colour EXCEPT black-and-white (my previous boy looked like he wore a dinner jacket)
- located within the Dorset area
- below £350
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
