Post by: emzbubble on April 19, 2007, 18:16:00 PM
Hi All,

Hope your all ok and enjoying the sunshine lol, Well thought i'd let you know i still haven't heard anything about rehoming my work collegues catl, she says she'll contact me but haven't heard anything, i honestly dont' mind ppl changing there mind but do wish they would let me know lol. Anyhow going to go to the RSPCA on sunday in Nottm to see if they have any cats to offer that are short haired, around 1-2 years old and will be ok with the kids. Fingers crossed for me or if anyone knows of any cats in that description that would love a new loving home let me know :)

Hi All,

I have a new cat!!!!!!!!! WEll will have soon!!!! His name is Jake, he black with white breast and white feet. Two years old. Came in as his previous owner fell pregnant and no longer wanted him. I went to meet some of the cats at the cats protection in Nuthall and Jake was the third one i had met and immeditely he let me stroke him and he even laid on his back and let me stroke his belly!!!! Which they assured me as a very good sign???? When Jake met my little boy he was fine and didn't really bother, let him stroke him etc. So we agreed on him. Have home visit tomorrow then hopefully collect our new addition on tues or wednesday!!!!!!!!!! I'm really excited! Am off cat shopping tomorrow, thinking of what i need, i'm thinking new bed, new scratch post, litter tray and litter, food. Can anyone else think of anything more i need? Also do i need to get a cat flap???????????

Thanks All

The details of all the rescues can be found via this link:  http://www.catchat.org/adoption/notts.html  then click on the cat chat rehoming page link to see some of the kitties they have in.

Awww on the site "I could waffle on forever about how lovely Godfrey is but what’s the point. Nobody has shown any interest in him; he’s been here weeks!"  :'( :'(

I love Martha, she is beautiful  :Luv: good luck with your search!!

Godfrey is soooo gorgeous he reminds me so much of my Dylan both in looks and nature and funnily enough when Dylan was with our branch he was in ages and kept being overlooked which was why I just had to have him being such a tabby fan. I hope someone gives him a home soon he is fab (as are all the others too of course)  :Luv:

Yeayyy! ;D

The cat flap can wait as he won't be allowed out for a minimum of four weeks anyway! (If you decide he's indoor/outdoor. Some people don't.)

Some cheap small toys are always a good thing to get, ready for when the confidence levels grow but I think you've got everything covered with your list!

Hi Ems

How exciting getting a new addition to your family, when I went to pick up Sam, I wanted to take several back with me!

With the tickling of the tum, I read that is quite a vulnerable part of the cat so if he lets you do that, he must be quite trusting!  :Luv:

You have thought of most things reading your list, but dont forget a few toys for him and a water bowl!  Also when Jake is settled dont forget to post a pic please.

Good luck getting all your cat bits and bobs, try not to go too mad as I know most of us on here do on a monthly basis  :rofl:

Can't wait to see some pics of your new babe  ;D

oooh how exciting I'm so pleased for you.  The CP at Nuthall is a great place and they are lovely people up there.

I'm sure Jake will be very happy with you.

Can't wait to see a pic of him when you get him home :)
