Phoebe URGENTLY needs a new home

Kooky · Post by **Kooky** » 7th Dec, '08, 11:25

Phoebe's owners are leaving Singapore on Dec 14th and, for reasons unknown to me, Phoebe needs a new home.

She's a 4 year-old Tonkinese (apparently that's a cross between Siamese and Burmese) with pedigree papers, de-sexed, and I'm told by her petsitter that she is a very sweet girl. Her owners say that she needs to be an inside cat as she gets sunburned with her fine white fur on her ears.

Please pass the word around as this is becoming urgent, and call 98282763 if you can give Phoebe a loving new home.

Oh she's so pretty, and I'd love to take her in but my brood is already a handful! If I brought another one home they'd lynch me in my sleep. I hope she finds a good home!

poor girl, makes me so cranky people who take on pets for a short part of their life.

Lily and Phoebe - has a nice ring, don't you think?

For a cat that needs to stay indoors, their choice of photos to publish seems strange.

Maybe she slip slap slopped.

Am thinking I may have to do that with Fu's ears.

Awwwww. Seriously, though. I have 3 cats, 2 of whom have been insanely territorial over me ever since Wolfie was born. If I even look in the direction of another cat, I'm in huge trouble.

Oh no lovey, Lily not Lili. Lily is a kitty who needs a friend.

She's beautiful, and I'd take her in an instant, only there's a geographical problem...

Kooky · Post by **Kooky** » 8th Dec, '08, 10:54

She could travel...

Co$t. Quarantine. And the poor cat would be traumatised - new location & owners who work long hours. Better not.
But she looks pretty - hope she finds new people.

Get the current owners to cough up the costs.

Quarantine is 30days

whereas Lili is a friend who needs a kitten? G'wan Lili.

Ah no, I don't believe in pressganging anybody to take on a pet. They've got to be fully committed and in it for the long haul - not that I imagine for a second Lili would be anything else.

Phoebe apparently hasn't had any shots

so my idea to send her to BettyBoo for Christmas is a bit of a non-starter.

Oh she is gorgeous, even if I could persuade my two to let another in the house the timing is all wrong...we fly out the day before.
I hope she finds a good home.

I imagine it's not cheap these days. What's the current cost for:

pre-transport shots/certificates;
paperwork/applications;
freight;
quarantine/boarding fees;
etc?

Anyone know?

Kooky · Post by **Kooky** » 8th Dec, '08, 14:19

I'm sure I can dig out that information.

Kooky · Post by **Kooky** » 8th Dec, '08, 14:25

Rough calc based on our costs / 3 using k9:

EXPORT LIC, HEALTH CERT, TRANSPORT / HANDLING, PROCESSING / DOCUMENTATION, ENDORSEMENT &
TREATMENT S$282
AIRFREIGHT S$478
AUSTRALIAN IMPORT PERMIT S$193
TRAVELLING CAGE:PT’L' S$95 (don't have to buy from them)

Total about S$1k excl quarantine - see here http://www.daff.gov.au/aqis/cat-dogs/fe ... guidelines

I'd love to take her, but we've already ordered the turkey in Blighty...

17 wake-ups!!! How exciting!!!

That website is nothing like my home...

Are you saying you should be put in quarantine?

How can a cross-breed be a pedigree?

It's too bad Jumpy doesn't like any other cats around...

She gets startled easily.
