I agree re rescues but there might be a Bengal owners association or society who has a list of cats up for rehoming. That’s how I got my cats via a Maine Coon site.Save £12k in 25 No 49

@TallGirl what a fantastic idea. I so love this forum! I have found one and messaged them with a full description of the problem with Annie. Fingers crossedMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!8 -
I’m pleased to hear that hope someone can help at least they should have a big reach in terms of cat lovers. Fingers crossedSave £12k in 25 No 49

No news on a solution for Annie yet but I will keep trying. Her owner might be able to return home so that might resolve in the short term.

Have been mulling over the ideas on here re help at work and realised the biggest stumbling block was that I really don't know how long things would take and what I really need so this week is "research week" I'm carefully recording the time I spend on things that could be outsourced using my timer. It has today at least made me aware how much time I don't actually work
and also it illuminating. Something I thought took 15 mins actually took 1 hour 20 mins so I think gathering research data this week will be really helpful (and I bet I waste less time LOL)
