The FACT is that none of the UK's major shelters, nor most of the
smaller ones that for various reasons affiliate with the big boys,
will normally rehome a healthy cat to an indoor only environment. This
has been confirmed on numerous occasions by people who work at the
grass roots level - actually finding homes for cats.


Wrong!

Where's your source for this information. "Facts" need to be backed up
with SOURCES.

FYI I have had 3 perfectly healthy cats rehomed to indoor only
environments from Battersea Dogs Home.

Liar!

Having myself volunteered at Battersea in the past I can state quite
categorically that Battersea DO NOT rehome healthy cats to an indoor
only situation.


Well that must have been way back in the past then as I rehomed one as
early as last November (2003). They had no problem with it at all. I
have the cats here to prove it!

You may have volunteered there once upon a time, but you clearly have
no idea what is going on there now as "I can state quite categorically
that Battersea DO rehome healthy cats to an indoor only situation".

So it appears YOU are the liar.

I assume your cats are not 100% healthy then. Having watched many of the
TV programs centered on Battersea I've seen them state several times
that they don't home healthy cats indoors.
