She was timid and one eye looked smaller than the other but not weepy or swollen. As the weather got colder I gave in and let her sleep insideen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160562?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 11 Jul 2015 13:23:21 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:9c02731b-056c-497e-95c2-b228a99b93cfSal the 1st<p>Will somebody be moving into your old house? Would they like a cat? might be worth asking? I know of folks who sell their houses with the resident animal as a condition of the sale - &nbsp;One person I know of even left their account in credit at one practice to the tune of &pound;250 to make sure the new owners had some vet cover for their new family addition. failing that then yes I agree find her somewhere else to go if you can</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160559?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 11 Jul 2015 10:51:56 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:fcb31893-1c08-4638-9f39-590b7d59e2a2sananbaz<p>I would say, please don&#39;t just leave her there to fend for herself - she is only gaining weight and showing some health improvements because you are there. Although all of your neighbours know her, only you took her in. Depending on how long before you leave, could you transfer her care to a willing neighbour? Or contact CPL or other cat rescue to find out what options are available locally? I agree taking her abroad would not be ideal, as apart from the cost, the passport/vaccinations/blood tests and travel would all cause excessive stress and worsening of her medical condition. Would you even get a vet to confirm she was healthy to travel??</p> <p>Are there any staff or local clients with a history of rescuing needy cats - most practices have at least one mad cat lady/man!</p> <p>Good luck, hope you find a solution x &nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/160541?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 Jul 2015 13:51:04 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:6f9caa70-673c-413d-bba6-da7681c70a61Diane Westwood<p>I know people who took their animals to other countries&nbsp;</p> <p>.I just wondered if it were possible as this cat gets on so well with the finder&#39;s cat.
