Doorbell rings... and I open the door to find my neighbour from the house accross standing on my doorstep holding her cat. (I've only met her once - I went over to her house to make sure that a stray I had captured to TNR wasn't hers, as the watchman had told me she had a black and white cat).....
She says " Hi, I'm moving to Dubai at the end of the month, and I know you like cats - I was wondering if you'd like mine?"
They have lived here for 4 years, and had the cat all this time. Dubai is only 1 hour away by plane (6 hours by car), and she is point-blank not prepared to take Sam with her. He is a gorgeous long-haired black and white one. Of course I HAD to say no - hubby is still getting used to having 2 cats, plus Sam is an inside/outside cat, and has access to the house via a flap. Logistically even with a magnetic flap, I would be too worried about my two getting out. (Ally is such a baby when it comes to the big outdoors and Connor being deaf.... lets just say I'd rather not risk it).
I've told her I'll put the word out, and ask the shelter if they will try to re-home him.
UUUGH - it just makes me so mad - Sam has been a part of their lives for 4 years - how can they just leave him behind? I don't understand some people
