Thanks everyone for the input!
The search continues but it's slowly looking like giving up time.
"Announcement board at the local migros" definitely sounds like the correct route, but with the lockdown, I'm not leaving home for checking out random boards for random chances.
Again, if someone is out and about on their essential task and notice such an option (or advertisements at a farm), would love to hear from you.
This weekend had a promising option for a couple free Maine Coon kitties, but lady was in France, no visit was possible and to send money first to cover the transport costs.

People are just overcomplicating things. |

I was only asking as we're down to two cats, and if it were someone local to us looking for a home we might have been able to help.

The poster on here said the cats were near her in Fribourg and Chemmie said France. Unless FR means France and not Fribourg. | The following 2 users would like to thank Belgianmum for this useful post: | |

I believe Chemmie was referring to his own post on FB and didn't read 3Wishes post correctly.

| | | | | This, this, a thousand times this.
The lockdown situation has kicked the old 'send money for transport' scam into overdrive, there have been so many reports of variations on this con making the rounds.
Barstewards. Always ready to exploit a crisis.
Eyes wide, keep the wallet closed until you verify.

Hope you find your kitties, Chemmie.

A bit of a cross post.
AnnaSophiaA had a lead for two 2y maine coons.
I was refering to a different offer on FB (which i couldnt visit because it was a scam- otherwise i would have)
Hope all is clear now.
Yeah and i missed the 'this' in 3Wishes post. Home alone has made me very self centered...more so.
Almost to the point to take the financial hit and buy some kittens | This user would like to thank Chemmie for this useful post: | |

| | Desperately looking to adopt kitten/kittens
Unfortunately our cat died yesterday and my daughter, single child that grew up with him, is devastated.
I am looking to adopt 1 or 2 kittens immediately and all shelters are closed due to corona-virus...
Any advice please?
