This is an exact copy of two e-mail replies that I got from the Cats Protection League which you keep referring to in this thread. I got tired of one side saying the policy was one thing and the other side saying it was the exact opposite so I went to the source. One may debate what is "best", but what the policy of CPL is should not be in dispute. Many posts in this thread concerned what that policy is. This should end that portion of the debate. [snip] In some circumstances we do rehome indoor cats, the main reason for this is medical but there are occasions where we have Pedigree cats which would need to kept indoors. If a cat is used to going outside, then we would not home it to someone who wants an indoor cat, hence the reason behind doing home checks we try and match the cats requirements to that of the prospective new owners. Thank you, I think that paragraph in particular sums things up very well and I hope that put an end to the claims that Cats Protection would normally home a healthy cat to an indoor only situation. Sick, Yes. Disabled, Yes. Normal healthy cat, NO WAY except as an admission of failure. -- Bob. In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, "Let there be Light." And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |

Now stick that in your pipe and smoke it. *yawn* I object to my cats being called failures. I'll happily forward you my area co-ordinator's contact details and you can go tell her that. |

Thank you, I think that paragraph in particular sums things up very well and I hope that put an end to the claims that Cats Protection would normally home a healthy cat to an indoor only situation. So, from that statement, the CP as a matter of course rehome pedigree cats to indoor only houses. Do you think this is acceptible? And if so, why should pedigree cats be treated any differently? Bearing in mind a pedigree cat is less likely to be stolen than a moggy, there's no reason why it sould be treated as any differently. Sick, Yes. Disabled, Yes. Normal healthy cat, NO WAY except as an admission of failure. Please point me to the bit in that quote that says homing an indoor cat is an 'admission of failture'. It's very odd, you and I seem to have interpreted that statement completely differently. I took the 'we do rehome indoor cats' to mean just that. I never said they *only* rehome indoor cats, I never said they promote indoor cats, but they do rehome cats to indoor homes, particularly if it's safer in the circumstances. Curiously, I know of one situation recently - 2 littermates, 8 months old, very healthy and active, in the CP's fostercare. There was a choice between two homes - one with a garden, one in a flat. The CP went with the flat option. I really don't know why you're so obnoxious and defensive Mr Brenchley, I just don't get your motives. |

I know who they are, I've been a member for years, have helped rehome cats myself, AND currently have 3 of my own.
