Title: home needed for two farm cats
Post by: Kitchen Cottage on February 01, 2015, 11:53:18 am
Slightly complicated but my friend had a domestic drama about 2 years ago leaving her somerset house and 2 cats in care of her 'housekeeper'.  This women has now left leaving the cats shut in and having them fed every other day.  My friend is now flying home from her hong kong home to sort this stuff out before she starts a new job in new zealand next week.  I can take then temporarily and will have them permanently if there is no other solution but someone might be wanting cats.  They are a 10 year old and 6 year old mother and son.

To stop any misconception about my friends responsibility the drama was that the housekeeper of 20 years, who was treated like a member of the family and husband had an affair.  My friend left because she didn't want the housekeepers son, who was in the middle of a levels disrupted.

she is blameless and now upset

What a horrible situation for your friend - I feel for her.   :hug:

I can't have cats here, unfortunately, but glad to hear you can home them if no-one else comes forward.

 They are good with chooks and partridges. They live next door to a farm.

Hi, at work so don't have to manage on the awful tablet!  They are chicken friendly, I asked because of my chooks.  They are in Bridgwater and still locked in an empty house but being fed and watered.

Hi Bramblecot,


The whole situation unravelled - but in a good way. The housekeeper re-homed the cats without telling anyone. Fortunately they went to a good home, so all's well that ends well.


Must get together in the spring. I'm away a lot in March but perhaps in April?
