Title: Things are looking up for Poppy!
Post by: ClaireR on February 23, 2008, 13:35:07 PM
Little Poppy came into our care on Thursday night. 

Poppy and her sister have spent the last 2 nights howling at their owners door to be let back in and have been ignored as her owner has moved house and left them.  Poppy's sister has been rehomed with the neighbours kind daughter who has just lost her 15 year old cat.  Poppy however is heavily pregnant and her only option would have been to give birth in a derelict warehouse nearby.

Poppy has settled in very well and is enjoying shredding her box to make nesting material, though we are not expecting babies before Mothers Day.  She is a friendly purry girl who luckily doesn't seem to have been affected too much by her ordeal.

Drawing a veil over my feelings about the people who abandoned her, what a beautiful puss Poppy is - and a very lucky one now, to have found her way to Paws Inn.

She certainly looks comfy and settled already  :)

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get up to date with all our news at Paws Inn!

I am pleased to announce that Poppy gave birth to 5 lovely kittens last week (6th March) and she is proving to be a brilliant mum and they are all growing well.

They all opened their eyes early on and so in their interest of the kittens we have not taken any photos yet - plus we have been a bit busy!

I will take some photos soon so you can see these gorgeous babies -the  first births of the year at Paws Inn.

The naming committee will be in action shortly.....4 black and white and 1 grey and white.

Claire xxx

How lovely and I am so glad that Poppy hasn't had to have her babies in that derelict warehouse.  Now she will receive all the extra care that a nursing mum needs and hopefully she and her beautiful babies will all find wonderful forever homes.  Well done Poppy.  Couldn't post what I think about the owners who left her and her friend behind I would be banned from this site forever if I did

  :Luv:A pile of kittens! A veritable heap of cuteness!  :Luv2:

Absolutely delightful - well done!

(how do you tear yourself away from just wanting to sit and look at them?! I've never been owned by a kitten; all of ours have come to us as adults which is a pretty good deal as I 'waste' so much time just sitting beaming at them, let alone a tiny little-pawed treasure . . .  . . :) . . . )

Introducing the boys........

The naming committee came up with....PUFFIN and PINGU. Many thanks to Christine for such lovely names. Unfortunately, the human suffering from lack of nicotine had a slight slip of the hand and Puffin became Puffinstuff!

Enjoy!

Introducing the girls.......

The naming committee came up with........POLLY, PETAL and PANDA. Thanks again to Christine for such lovely names.  HOWEVER, suffering from an early morning wake up call to visit the Inn for mucking out, the trusty assistant (aided by the nicotine lacking old boot), slightly tweaked the aforementioned names to become the following moggiegree titles.......

PINKAVA'S PETAL
POLLYANNA
POWDER PUFF PINK PUSSY TOES

Enjoy!!

P.S This is Claire sneaking in on T's log in (he, he ,he)

Having great fun trying to get them to lap as poor mum is very thin and needs all the help she can get.Puffin, Pingu and Pinkavas Petal are doing quite well with lapping off the trusty apostle spoon; Pollyanna is a little bit too posh to try kitten soup and as for Powder Puff Pink Pussy Toes ( Claires name) she needs renaming to scruffy puss cat soup feet  :rofl: :rofl:
Title: Re: Things are looking up for Poppy!

Feeding this family is a nightmare, Poppy (mum) has to be given a plate of food outside the Pen while I  feed the kittens,the 4 black and whites are all lapping but little miss grey PPPPT thinks she is too posh still and refuses the solids,after all she is bigger than the others so obviously has been getting more than her share at the milk bar, little madam loves the feel of it on her feet but not in her mouth.Pinkavas Petal is being a fuss pot too,shes decided she prefers mums Whiskas , mum has learnt that kittens are onto something special and yells to be put back in with kittens so she can steal the remaining food while yours truly assists them with their toilet,yes my little black/whites are straight to litter tray :Luv: as for Claires Powder Puff PPT she lays in bed waiting for mum to do it for her. O well cant win them all but I am so in love with this little family.
