Paddy is a 4 yrs old Classic patterned Ocicat. Sadly he is not getting on with the other 2 cats he lives with any more. His owner is very upset about this and loves him very much, but thinks he might be happier if he was the only cat in a household.

Two adult cats looking for a new home due to allergies in the family, a female chocolate silver Ocicat and her companion; a 1 yr old male grey moggy (both are neutered). They ideally need to be rehomed together and are indoor cats only. They are very much loved pets who will be very sadly missed

In the past The Club had some concerns that should an Ocicat need to be found a new home (for whatever reason), there seemed to be no definite place that a cat could be taken to in the short term until a new home was found.

A bank of foster homes throughout the country was required, although we are grateful that at present the need for such homes is very small indeed. We live in a disposable society, and as the numbers of Ocicats increases, so does the possibility of Ocicats in need of short term care and/or new homes.

The Ocicat Club appealed to members for offers of foster homes around the country, even though the chance of being asked to help was slight. We were very grateful to have offers of help from the following members; Cindy Waldron  has offered long since to take in Ocicats and indeed cared for one in the past. Jacky Atkinson has offered to help in the Midlands should need arise. Rosemary Caunter would help in the South if possible.

The Club has an ongoing interest in hearing from any members who feel they may be able to help with any welfare issues. If it is not possible to offer a foster home, if members could please consider whether they might be able to act as “taxi-driver”, to take an Ocicat in need to a foster home in your general area?
