NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT CLUB WELFARE
The Club has a welfare co-ordinator who is here to help match up Norwegian Forest Cats in need with the right new home. Unwanted cats become available spasmodically and for many different reasons. Sometimes they have a behavioural problem which needs to be dealt with; sometimes their previous owners are simply unable or unwilling to look after them any more. Circumstances change, and often the people looking for a new home for their beloved cat are very sad to give them up but are acting for the welfare of the animal. On other occasions, cats have been abandoned. Sometimes we have several cats looking for a home and sometimes there are none for quite a long period.
We rely on genuine cat-lovers coming forward to offer homes for the cats, so if you are able to help give a Norwegian Forest Cat the life he or she deserves, please contact our Welfare Co-ordinator:
Mary-Rose Douglas – tel. 01268 551082 (mobile 07910 688539) – maryrosedouglasuk@yahoo.co.uk 2nd contact - Debbie Emery Tel 01539 531894 debbie.emery@tiscali.co.uk Please leave a message on the answer phone! |
We try to ensure that each cat is homed in the best possible environment: if a cat is used to being indoors, we look for an indoor home; if the cat dislikes children, then we place them in a home with only adults, and so on. The Club ensures that all cats are tested for FELv (feline leukaemia) and FIV (feline AIDS) and that they are neutered and inoculated before going to their new home. We ask for a donation in order to help continue our rescue service.
Recent cats who have fallen on their paws:

This is Harley, who is a beautiful boy but he was toileting inappropriately in a household with small children. Nigel and Ann kindly took him on, with full knowledge of the problem. In his new, quieter home, Harley is much better behaved and happier, and a dearly loved pet. |

Merci and Bob are a middle-aged mother and son. Their family loved them but circumstances had changed and they could no longer give them the attention they deserved. |
They have gone to a wonderful new home where they will get lots of fuss from Charlotte and Chris. |

Saffi is a beautiful girl, very affectionate to her humans – but she demanded a lot attention and did not get on with the other cats in the household. She was unhappy and making the others unhappy too! So we found her a loving home where she will be the only cat. |
Sometimes we get cats that are very poorly indeed. One such is Ishka who needs very expensive medications on a daily basis. With the help of a generous vet, our Secretary and a kind cat-lover, we have found her a home and are sponsoring her with donations. |
~~~ The Welfare section always welcomes offers of good homes or donations to help us continue to assist cats when necessary~~~
Many thanks go to all of you who have contributed over the years to Norwegian Forest Cat welfare. Thank you to the cat lovers who offer a sympathetic home; to the Club members who offer emergency accommodation, do home checks or help with transportation; and to everyone who gives a donation. Even a small sum makes a real difference – without help and donations we cannot continue to help the cats.
