Her owner moves to another part of the country on Sat 4th March and the new home is absolutely not suitable for her cat. The owner has been trying to rehome to no avail, and is getting desperate to the point of booking her in to be put down. I don't want to let this happen, but I can't have her at my house, my dogs would eat her.
She does NOT tolerate young children, or female cats. She is fine with dogs and male cats.
