`What happens if a cat cannot be rehomed?`
IN THE EVENT THAT ONE OF US CANNOT BE FOUND A SUITABLE NEW HOME WE WILL LIVE OUT OUR LIVES HERE IN PERFECT SAFETY. MY BROTHER DUKE AND I ARE TWO SUCH CATS AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY HERE.
`What if my cat has behavioural problems such as spraying, pica (wool eating) etc?`
I HAVE FRIENDS HERE WHO WERE TAKEN IN BECAUSE OF THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. JAN STILL LOVES THEM BUT SHE MUST KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY COME IN. CATS WITH BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS ARE HARDER TO GET NEW HOMES AND WE MUST BE TOTALLY HONEST ABOUT THEIR ANTICS
