Cats Available for Adoption - May 2009

This section shows cats available through our Rescue Services, but who in most cases will need to be visited in their own homes. Any adoption taking place will progress as a Chapelhouse Persian Rescue adoption, so you will still need to follow all usual procedures (checks, application form, references, fees).

Baggy & Psipsi STILL Have No New Home!     ADDED May 2nd 2009... Updated on May 27th 2009

 

We are delighted to list for adoption this stunning pair of Bengal pedigree cats, who are brother and sister. Basically, the situation is that a lady doctor and her husband volunteered to look after Bageera ('Baggy') and Psipsina ('Psipsi') several years ago when their owner was making a trip to New Zealand. The owner failed to return, and several years later the cats now need a new lifelong home. They would now be around 10 years old but are in perfect health and exceptionally well cared for. They reside in Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire at present, where they will need to be visited at home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cats' present owners are relocating, and will have to live in rented accommodation where it will not be feasible to take animals. However, in addition, the growth of the family has revealed that Baggy (male) is insecure around small children and he has started territorial marking ever since the arrival of the second child in the household. We fully agree with the owners that this will very likely cease when he relocates and if he is given the attention he craves. Baggy has always loved lots of affection and will need this from his new owners. It is imperative that the adopters have no babies and no plans for more children (toddlers and upwards are fine).

 

Both cats have had a full set of bloods taken and their results were fine. They were fully vaccinated in December 2008. Both have identity chips and are registered with Petlog, and this can be transferred to the new owner. They are greatly loved and exceptionally friendly. They are happy in the company of small children but these should be 2 years and upwards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baggy loves to drink running water out of the tap and snuggling up next to his owners on the sofa. They both love to join their owners wherever they happen to be, in the house. Psipsi is quite a lap cat and loves having her tummy tickled and chasing flies. Her owner notes that Psipsi can catch them at 20 paces! Both cats love to play games and will take as much stroking/attention as they can have.

The owners state that after rehoming, it would be nice to know if they had settled in their new home but would be happy with this information to be relayed via CPR. Baggy and Psipsi have lived their lives as indoor cats and we prefer this to continue for their safety. The owners say that these are two very docile, gentle and hugely affectionate cats who have never shown any sign of aggression, despite some 'reputation' owned by the breed itself!

When you write to us, please ensure you tell us all about:

 

• your working patterns
• your experience of Bengal cats or other specialist feline breeds
• any other people in your household
• your lifestyle - busy or quiet, visitors to the house etc
• any children or plans for children
• any other animals in the home (ideally NO cats or dogs must be present, for this adoption, but we will consider...!)
• your age and the age of your partner
• why you think you could give Baggy and Psipsi an ideal home
• the area you live in (we need to check if they are indoor or outdoor cats....).

 

To be considered to adopt, you first need to write to us as detailed an email as possible, giving all salient facts and why you think you could offer a home for Baggy and Psipsi. If the owners like what you have to say about yourself and your household, we will send you an application form for completion. Only one couple at a time would proceed to be invited to visit the home. The rehomers will have the final 'say' - ie. if they like you when you visit, you would probably be able to take the cats on the day, although this is at the owners' discretion.

 

A standard adoption contribution of £320 (fee reduced on 27/05) for the pair of cats, will need to be made to the Rescue by the adopter whose application is taken forward for the likely adoption of these cats. The adoption contribution payment must be made prior to the adoption visit, but is refunded in full should the visit not result in adoption.

 

The payment up-front indicates your commitment to the visit and your recognition of the work we have put into the progression of all the enquiries, and liaison with the owner. We are not a Charity. The payment is NOT reimbursed if you cancel the visit or fail to show, (but as stated already IS reimbursed if your visit is made as planned but you decide not to adopt).

 

To be considered for this adoption, please email in the first instance to:
