Fair enough, but mine were too and have adapted perfectly well to their new life here. Best of luck, either way

Hi,
we brought a Labrador and a moggie with us to Aus from the UK and no problem finding a rental with them, I too am a nurse
Renting with cats is no real problem, dogs are slightly more difficult! My cat was an outdoor cat in the UK and continues to be one in Aus....In fact he loves it here, wandering into our neighbours gardens and following them into their houses!! I think our cat met our neighbours before us as they all knew of Oscar when we finally met them
Anyway, my point is the cats will be happy here but if you will be happier re-homing them then that's just what you need to do.....good luck with your decision, it's a hard one.

failing that contact your local vets they always have people looking for animals and know of animal shelters that will rehome them as a pair. good luck

I had to rehome my 2 cats a couple of weeks ago. Stick an add in the paper it may surprise you who would be willing to take them on. My 2 went to separate homes (because they could). They actually went to the most perfect new homes. The older female went to an older couple which is what I wanted for her and my tom cat went to a farm where he can hunt as much mice as he wants.
It was a very hard thing to do and I think I cried for days.
Now I am fine about it all as I know they will be well taken care off. I do miss them and still go to the cat food section, lol.
Hope you get something sorted.

We understand you totally, we have two westies, at first we thought we wouldn't take them, then we spoke to several people who said it'll be fine they'll settle in; but now! Well if the wife and I are out at work all day it doesn't seem fair on leaving the dogs on their own in strange surroundings, especially in rental accom (for a while anyway). So looking at (when the time comes) to re-homing. Very sad, but you also have to think about the animals!

Best of luck whatever you do.

you could try a westie rescue most vets hold a kennel club list of rescue centers for each breed so you know that they are going to someone who knows about the breed.
