Struggling to decide

Hi Fifinet, that sounds like a really nice thing to do in visiting Glasgow and finding a place for some of Barry’s photos. In terms of making a decision on how best to cater for Missy and helping, I guess I’d look at it in two parts. With leaving her at home with neighbours looking out for her, I’d be gauging it on how self much of an outdoor cat she is and how much you trust your neighbours. When it comes to finding a cattery, I’ve just done a google search and can see catterys in France with English wording in their information. As I don’t know expect location I can’t search for a local one to you but I’d be happy to draft an email that you could edit and send to them to see if they could recommend one in your area or you could speak to one of these English speaking catterys on the phone as numbers are available if you felt up to doing that. More than happy to help whilst keeping your privacy, private as it were. Apologies for the long message, I hope some of it makes sense. 

Hello and thank you for replying!

Been speaking to neighbours that I do trust and we will see.

It is the first big thing I have done in three years since Barry died.

Hugs and thanks again. Hope you are ok. 

Hi Fifinet,

Really good to hear that you are making progress and that you have spoken to your neighbours about your plans.

Proud of you. 

Keep messaging on here to use this space as a sounding board :)

Hello 

Just to say I have found a cattery for my sweet Missy. Run by a Scottish lady from Aberdeen. It seems right, and she understood my worries. A big step for me.

It is the start I hope of something for me now. After so many years of caring and hospitals and pain, I need to find out what I want to do now ? Going to Scotland will be tough in so many ways, lots of memories of us, and of friends too who are no longer there either.

Nervous but we will see how it goes .

Night night. Xxx

That’s really great that you’ve found a cattery, especially one that you have been able to explain the situation to without any confusion of translation. At least that’s one element of the trip that is taken care of and you’ll now be able to focus on all the other aspects.

I wish you all the very best for your trip, hopefully some aspects that you maybe nervous about now appear easier when you are actually there. Also hope that you have some positive surprises during your trip too.

Myself and others that read this thread can see the  bravery you are showing in pursuing this. Take my hat off to you.

Thank you so much. It means a great deal to me.

Big hugs to all today xxx
