Rehoming

ARE YOU ABLE TO OFFER A GOOD HOME TO A RAGDOLL IN NEED?

The British Ragdoll Cat Club provides a Rehoming Service with a network of willing volunteers situated all over the country ready to help. In recent years, we have been asked to help rehome a number of Ragdolls when people's circumstances have changed and they are sadly no longer able to keep their cats.

We like to arrange a visit by an experienced member of TBRCC to prospective homes before placing a cat. This ensures that the home suits the needs of the cat(s) being considered and also provides the opportunity for adoptees to voice any queries that they may have regarding the general care and upkeep of the Ragdoll Breed.

We do not home cats on a first come first serve basis. Each one is assessed individually for it's character and temperament, and it's previous life style is taken into consideration. When we are certain that we have found the right home then arrangments will be made for the transfer.

Like most pedigree cats, Ragdolls are indoor cats and you will require to provide them with a litter tray. It is not recommended to allow them complete freedom as their easy-going nature could make them less aware of danger. No-one is ever prepared for the heartbreak of a much loved pet being run over by a car or taken away by a stranger. However, if you have a safely enclosed garden your pet will enjoy playing in the fresh air, especially if you are with him.

If you are able to offer a good home to a Ragdoll please contact one of our Rehoming Co-ordinators who will be happy to discuss the possibility.

Available Ragdolls
Moomba	Looking for a home now! Moomba Moomba is a very affectionate, loving boy. He is quite demanding when he wants attention! He is a 2 year old neutered boy. He is settling in with a foster home at the moment, where he will be properly assessed. Until this has happened, we would only consider a home with no children and no other pets. We may find, after controlled assessment, that he would be suitable in a home with another pet or with older children. He is having his vaccinations brought up to date, and has been blood tested and is clear for feline aids and leukaemia. He has been health checked by the vet, and pronounced healthy!

Harvey and Dudley *Harvey* *Dudley*	*Home Found!* Harvey & Dudley Harvey and Dudley are two Ragdoll brothers, looking for a forever home together. They will both be 8 in July, and are both vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Harvey is very handsome, and is the larger of the two boys. He is very laid back and will happily go to anyone who makes a fuss of him. He loves his food, and is rather greedy! He adapts very easily to new situations and takes everything in his stride. He loves attention, and will express his feeling vocally and will stand up against your leg when he wants to be picked up and cuddled. He's very happy to be groomed, and because his coat is wavy, he needs regular combing to prevent any knots. Dudley is the small, gentle brother and is so different. He's very pretty, but very shy and nervous. He doesn't like strangers, or anything out of the ordinary, such as unusual noises or new furnature. He will run and hide if he's not sure about something. He is the more affectionate of the two and likes lots of fuss and attention, but only when you're sitting down. Then he will come and mug you! He has a very fine coat and again needs regular grooming. These two boys have been introduced to a secure garden over the last year and when the weather is fine, they enjoy playing and chasing each other (and birds) around the garden. Prior to that, they were house cats and confined to indoors, so they still use a litter tray in the house. They have taken to living with a friendly Labrador quite well. Harvey accepts the dog as part of the family and they have even been seen lying on the lounge floor next to each other in the sunshine! Dudley likes to keep his distance and because of his nervous nature, it is unlikely he would ever become great friends with a dog. Harvey and Dudley must be kept together. They would best be suited to someone who has a quiet home without young children or dogs, and has lots of spare time to give them the fuss and attention they deserve. Harvey will adapt very quickly to a new home, Dudley will take a little longer and will require time and patience, but once he gets to know you and feels safe, he will reward you with lots of affection.

*Melba*	*Home Found!* Melba Melba is a beautiful Blue Tortie girl who is only four years old. She has already been spayed. She is looking for a new home, because she doesn't get along very well with the other cats that she lives with. Her owners feel she would therefore be happier in a new home. Because Melba doesn't like the other cats she lives with, it is felt that it would be in her best interest to live in a home with no other cats. She loves fuss and attention from people, although she is not used to small children. She is also not used to dogs. She is a very clean girl, who lives exclusively indoors. She eats a diet of dry food, and doesn't seem to like wet food at all. Melbas owners are doing what they feel is in her best interest, as Melbas happiness and welfare is paramount. If you think you could give Melba the love and care she deserves, with a safe, comfortable environment then please do get in touch.

*Jeeves* Wooster	*Home Found!* Jeeves & Wooster Jeeves is mostly white, with a dark on his tail, ears and face. Wooster is also a Seal Bicolour, but with more colour on his coat. Jeeves has a very sweet, patient nature. He absolutely loves to be groomed, which makes maintaining his fine coat easier. He does get occasional knots, but regular grooming (which will double-up as bonding sessions) will keep him in tip-top condition. Wooster has a coat which is easier to manage, although he still enjoys laying back and soaking up all the attention and love that anyone will give him! Jeeves is the more timid of the two boys, although his nervousness soon disappears once he has got to know you! Once he knows and trusts you, he will reward you with his exceptionally loving nature. Wooster is the bolder of the two boys, and tends to lead the way. He will wait around corners, ready to ambush you at the slightest chance, and is much more trusting with strangers. Both boys have had access to a garden, and love to play chase and 'tag' with each other. They absolutely must be rehomed together. Ideally, we are looking for a rural home, with a secure garden where they can enjoy the lifestyle that they have become accustomed to. Both these boys have so much love to give. They are just looking for someone to give it to. If you think you could offer them that special home, then please get in touch with our rehoming co-ordinators, whose details are above.

Dolly Daydream	*Home Found!* Dolly Daydream Dolly is a beautiful Seal Colourpointed Ragdoll. She is 8 years young, so still in the prime of life. Dolly has lived with an elderly couple, so is used to a more laid back, calm lifestyle. She loves plenty of 'me' time, but does tend to like it on her own terms. She is strictly an indoor cat, and has never had access to the outdoors, and it is very important that this is continued in her new home, although she may enjoy the luxury of an outdoor run, or supervised visits to a secure garden. Due to her age she probably would not take to a harness easily. As you can see, Dolly can be lead by her tum, and does enjoy the odd treat! Dolly has always been an 'only cat', and we feel that it is important that this is maintained in her new home. She is tollerant with dogs, so a home with a laid back, unexcitable dog would probably be of huge benefit to her. She has no health problems, and no litter tray problems. She is a model cat, who is just waiting for someone to love her and give her a lap to sleep on. Dolly is currently in the North, but we would arrange to transport her to wherever the best home is for her.

*Harry* Bunty	*Home Found!* Harry & Bunty Harry and Bunty have lived together for all of their lives. Harry is the older (10 years) and Bunty the younger (almost 9 years). These lovely boys, through no fault of their own, are now up for adoption. Harry is a neutered Colourpoint. He is large (he loves his food!) with a matching purrsonality (sorry about the pun!). He’s very friendly and affectionate and loves to be brushed. Very easy cat to be around, he likes nothing better than to find a sunny spot to snooze in. Some might think him lazy but he's just very laid back. A typical Ragdoll! Harry uses his litter tray (Yesterday’s News Litter). He is undemanding when it comes to food but at the moment he is enjoying Purina Housecat dry food with the occasional treat of wet food. Harry is fully vaccinated. Bunty is a Bicolour neutered male. He too is very laid back and has a lovely personality. He is a beautiful looking cat, with eyes to die for, and he is also very friendly and loving. He also likes to be brushed, especially liking to roll around the floor playing with the brush, or chasing a toy on a string. He lies on his back and enjoys having his tummy tickled. In fact he spends most of his time horizontal on the carpet. Bunty also eats any dry food but is currently eating Purina House cat dry food with the occasional wet food treat. Both boys like a little cooked white fish from time to time. Bunty also doesn’t have any litter tray issues, and he is fully vaccinated. Both cats are very well behaved when in their carriers and at the vets. These two boys will be a delightful addition to any home, although they would be best adopted as the only cats/pets in the household as they love attention. They would be particularly suitable for anyone living on their own as they will offer great company and entertainment.

Apollo *Rocky*	*Home Found!* Rocky & Apollo These two adorable young men are called Rocky & Apollo. Rocky is a Blue Colourpointed Ragdoll, and Apollo is a Blue Mitted Ragdoll. They are both brothers and are 5 years old. They are both microchipped. Their vaccinations were kept up to date until this year, when they weren't done. They both get along together very well, although Apollo is more dominant and bolder of the two, Rocky is not at all backwards in coming forwards! They are both full of fun, with lots of character! Both Apollo and Rocky have been used to having access to an enclosed garden, so would probably benefit from a home with a secure garden, access to an outdoor run, or regular supervised trips outside for a potter around. They both love human company, and will happily spend time with you sitting on your knees and gazing at you with their beautiful, expressive blue eyes. Apollo and Rocky love being with people, especially at night. They are both litter trained and have never damaged or made a mess of any furniture or carpet. They are mainly fed a diet of dry cat biscuits, but enjoy a treat of a little wet food in the evenings before bed. If you feel that you can offer these two delightful chaps a new home, then please contact either Dawn or Glynn Davies on the above number.

Mickey *Kuma*	*Home Found!* Micky & Kuma Mickey (as in 'Mickey Blue Eyes') is a stunning boy, with the most amazing temperament. He is a Blue Colourpointed neutered male. Kuma is an elegant and stunning Tortie female Maine Coon. Mickey still thinks he is 4 months old, and plays like a kitten. He doesn't see the point in growing up, and wants to be a baby forever! He is full of madcap antics, and is such a huggable, loveable character that it's impossible not to fall in love with him as soon as you meet him! Kuma is a little, okay, a lot more refined than Mickey! She acts far more like the lady that she is. She is deeply affectionate and loving, with an amazingly gentle character. She loves nothing more than to snuggle up besides you for a fuss and 'me' time. Sadly, these two are up for adoption because their human slaves are moving overseas, and are unable to take them along. Much as they don't want to let them go, they know that Mickey and Kuma will give someone else the endless pleasure that they have given them. They are very closely bonded with each other, so it is essential that they are homed together. They are located in the South of the country, but if the purrfect home is found for them somewhere else, they can be transported to their new home. If you think you can offer these two the wonderful new home they deserve, then please contact Dawn or Glynn Davies on the above contact number. Mickey and Kuma are waiting for your call...

Molly	*Home Found!* Molly Molly is a beautiful seal colourpointed girl born in October 2005. She is a very intelligent cat, perhaps sometimes a bit too much so! Molly has a very unique personality that simply shines through. She has a lovely, soft flowing coat and the most beautiful blue eyes. you have ever seen! Molly has been used to a quiet life with a retired couple, and is extremely loving and devoted to her human slaves, but she can be demanding when she wants attention! If she wants something, she will certainly let you know. She is used to permanently living in a home environment and she has never had access to a garden, but she has been used to standing at a screened back door so she can have a good smell of the great outdoors, and watch the local wildlife. She loves to stand at the screen door and will often whine to have the door openned for her! In view of this, a home with a screened window or door, outside run, or secure back garden that she could potter around supervised might be simply purrrfect for her. When it comes to food, she likes to graze, eating a little through the course of the day, but has been known to turn her nose up at food if she doesn't feel it's fresh enough for her exactings standards! She is the most loveable cat, who will spend time laying on the settee or on a chair, perfectly peacefully. She loves to be stroked and groomed. She likes to play with toys, and is very energetic. She would make a fantastic companion for anybody, but would probably thrive in a home where her human slaves would keep her busy and on her toes!
