How hard is it to get a cat in Dublin?

rmkfda

Hi,
I've been fostering dogs and kittens for a couple of different charities here in Dublin and am desperate for cats of my own!

The stupid thing is I'm allowed to foster with DSPCA (and others) but they won't let me adopt as I'm in rented accomodation.

I've tried Gumtree and avoided a few idiotic scammers, but otherwise no replies. I've contacted several other charities with no response.

Any advice? Should I just go and trap me a couple of ferals and attempt to tame them?

Help?!

My sister is looking for a home for a lovely cat, she's slightly older but is very nice. If you are interested PM me.

Hey I know of a lovely cat that is looking for a place to call his own - sadly his young owner has been admitted to the hospice and the gentlemans brother took the cat in but has a dog who hatest the cat and the cat is currently in a room 24/7.

I have no problem in letting people in rented accomodation adopt cat once your landlord is aware of the cat and has no issues with it.

The DSPCA will allow you to adopt a cat in rented accommodation if you have written permission from your landlord. We got a cat, Potus, back in September and are living in a rented apartment

I would have thought most places would let you adopt provided you had written permission from your landlord.

Problem with written permission is that its not binding so the landlord can change their mind, and in my experience frequently do (with dogs anyway)

Ring around your local vets. They frequently have notices up, or know of litters looking for homes. That's how we got our little one!

I have a 4 year old indoor male neutered cat, fully vaccinated etc looking for a home if you are still looking. His owner has gone into a hospice and sadly will not be coming back out. If you are interested pm me . Thanks
