Very sorry, Hoseman, but you must be joking! Have you tried to get a cat taken in by any rescue place recently?
Everywhere is bulging at the seams with unwanted cats just thrown out or abandoned and now is the kitten season!
I see there is yet another post today wanting a home for two cats, there's just no end to it. PLEASE get your cats neutered!!!!!!!!!!!

Do NOT contact the RSPCA, they operate a destruction policy where animals cannot be rehomed, contact Cats Protection, South Wirral Branch tel 355 9813. They are a brilliant organisation and most importantly, Murphy will NOT be put down.
good luck!

I wonder if its possible to find maybe an elderly person or housebound person who would love a cat but cant afford to keep one ? (noted earlier you said you would pay for food etc) Not sure how youd go about finding one though - local shop ad? Age Concern/UK . Sad story . Hats off to you for making so much effort for a pet you didnt even set out to have in the first place. So many people are 'easy come easy go' when it comes to animals. Do hope you find a solution.

UPDATE:

Murphy has found a new home with Muzzy2 and will be moving in on Wednesday. He will be getting all the care and treatment he needs to live out the rest of his life in peace and quiet. Muzzy2 is experienced with older cats and I am very happy with Murphy to go there, she can do so much more for him than me and he is a lucky cat to be given this chance.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Muzzy2 for helping and taking Murphy in and I would also like to thank Lightning for her input and help throughout finding Murphy a new home.

He isn't quite out of the woods yet, as he may have too many problems to be treatable, but I do feel he would live a good length of time regardless, and hopefully the vet that Muzzy2 deals with will find that things are looking positive for Murphy. I will update people as and when I get updates from Muzzy2. Thanks again everyone, it just goes to show how a website like this can bring people together and help each other out. Over and out til Murphy settles in his new home.

Update:

Murphy has moved in with Muzzy2 today, there was a delay due to concerns one of her cats had flu, so he has gone today and will be going to the vets on Monday to see if he has any immediate problems that need addressing. I will update as the weeks go by.

I am sad to see him be re-homed, but it's for the best for him and he has found someone who can provide a more stable home for him than I can as I can't take him with me when the time comes I have to move, so on the other hand I am happy about that.

Murphy went to the vet today with Muzzy2 and he appears to be mostly ok, just some suspected palps in the throat and other bits and bobs they will hopefully sort out when he goes back on Friday. I will update again on Friday how it went when Muzzy2 lets me know.
