The Ollie Tails: Part the Messedupthenumberingsystem.
*28.10.06*
Ollie is aged between 8 and 12 and was in a very bad way when I got him, as you'll see if you read back to the start of the thread - he seemed a lot older than 12 then but now he's feeling better I'm inclined to revise my guesstimate of his age downwards a bit.
The rescues tend to percieve that older cats are difficult to home - wrongly, I think - and would take up more cattery space for longer than younger cats. I know just as many people that want a mature, loving lapcat as prefer a frisky youngster.
If Ollie needed something that the CPL couldn't or wouldn't pay for (and to be fair they've been incredibly generous and immediately offered all appropriate help) then I'd be faced with a very hard set of choices - I'm a disabled student with no income to speak of and I've got insurance sorted for my own kits but you can't insure a short-term fostered cat.
