Hi All,
Im looking to Re-home a Pet and I was wondering how I went through with this has anyone been through this with any Org's such as the RSPCA?
I would love to own a cat but im worried about it clawing my furniture can
kittens at a young age be trained to stop this?
Another pet im looking for is a Parrot im after one of these more then a
cat as ive kept birds previousley wild ones at that!
if anyone can please help me in anyway i'd be very happy 
Cheers Kerry!

last year we went to our local RSPCA as we wanted to get a rescue dog, and we were extremely lucky to end up with a pure pedigree poodle which was 7 years old. now a year later we're still feeling priviliged to have been able to get this dog as she's a beaut!
there's alot to do before the RSPCA will hand over an animal for rescue/re-homing so the best bet is to go and introduce yourself to your local RSPCA and let them know what you want and to show some interest and if you match their requirements in terms of accomodation and suitability it won't be long before you're matched with what you are looking for.

Can I just ask do you work full-time? We've had large parrots all our life and they do require a lot of attention!! they are not the pet if you are at work full-time and actually is neither a dog
Parrots need a lot stimulas to keep them happy otherwise they end up unhappy and stressed which in turn lead to feather plucking to the point of making themselves bleed! and being aggresive, they love human company and like to be placed where they can see everything going on.
As for a dog ive got 6 ranging from a chi to a rottie, which also need a lot of looking after and personally i actually do home checks for the RGT in which we would'nt consider rehoming any dog if she/he was going to be left for more than a max of 4 hours a day.....but like i say this all depends if you work full-time if you dont then its a choice of which you feel you want
Sorry if i sound a bit off putting but ive seen enough unwanted dogs and stressed parrots in my lifetime because a person fancied one as a pet without going into or learning everything there is to need to know before embarking on getting a pet
Forgot to say if you need any addresses etc pm me and ive got a few you can get in touch with

very right shelly, a good pet for a full time worker would be an adult cat, ours can survive easily without us and can be outside for most of the day (9-5) without worries
not the same with a kitten though they need contant attention and looking after. we were also lucky by our cat just came to us house trained and everything. We looked for the owners but couldnt find any so he's ourss! |

I don't work fulltime at the moment but that may change as ive been kinda lucky getting past 2 interveiws and got a trial
I understand they need 24/7 care otherwise they go insane many Birds do ive kept pigeons and a goose so I know, everyone needs some attention Birds are the same aswell as any other animal you can't just abandon them for the sake of it..
Ive made some enquiries btw and the birmingham Animal centre is my next bet now so i'll see what happens anyway! |

ahh bless he's cute congrats on your new pet if you can get any small fruit tree branches you'll find he'll love these to strip and gnaw lol plus also use some of different thickness as perches which will help his feet as well (more natural than plastic perches)
always look on the bright side of life...de dum..de dum..de dum..
