Re: A nightmare trapping,happy ending - HOMING UPDATE!!
« Reply #38 on: February 20, 2008, 13:26:07 PM »
Hello

I thought that it would be nice to give people an update on this family as I am pleased to say that Sherbet went to her new home on Sunday and Bear and Bliss her kittens were rehomed 2 weeks ago. HOORAY!!!!  It is great to see the progress cats can make with lots of help and patience. I personally love to see updates of the cats in care that are posted here and as I know many of them also touch the hearts of other Purrs members, I thought you might like to see them too!!

You may remember this story of Teresa having to climb through a window of a lock up garage and rummage through lots of nasty maggot infested boxes and clothes to catch Bear and Bliss and then also struggle to catch Sherbet who was very frightened, had a poorly eye and was fighting to trying to protect her babies.  The story is at the start of this thread for those that might like a read.  They were rescued on Sept 10th 2007.

Since then Teresa has worked hard to turn them all into healthy, loving and gentle babies.  Sherbet had to have her eye removed, but has recovered so well and has turned into one of the most loveable cats that I have met.  Bear and Bliss took some work to bring them around as they had had no human contact before they were rescued. They left for their new home as confident, playful young cats.

I have attached below the photo of Sherbet just after she had arrived - she was rushed straight to the vets as Teresa caught her as her eye was critical and so this was the first photo we took of her.  The other photos were taken on Sunday morning just before this beautiful girl went to her new home.

I hope you like them.

Claire xx

Sherbet and kittens have had a good night and I even found a kitten poop in the litter tray. This little cat is an absolute delight though her kittens now named Bliss and Bear are real little hiss spits yet they will feed off and lick my fingers, they are just about 6 weeks so should be round in no time..

Lynn vet just said something  had pierced it and to be honest he phoned when I was rushing trying to sort out kittens so I didnt ask questions just told him to do whatever was needed for her will ask next time.
She is currently lay down with her 2 kittens suckling and paddy pawing; I said to her Miracles do happen and in her own way she said "I know"  :Luv:

Sherbert is gorgeous. what a lovely sweet face she has. And the kittens are pretty cute too. Fraid my Saxon is a bit rusty so no suggestions here. But could go down the Sherbet path and consider sorbet and fizz

Poor little Sherbet: it looks as if she had a nasty injury to that eye.  But, of course, she will be OK now.

Make sure you keep those scratches and gashes clean, Teresa.

How about Beowulf for the little lad?

Just finished the rounds of giving afternoon tea; Sherbet is lovely headbutting and paddy pawing just so grateful for food and a nice bed, kittens giving wonderful hissy spits. When Grumpy and I saw them suckling on mum we both had tears of joy in our eyes I just cant explain what a truly wonderful sight it was. :Luv:
I had intended Saxon names (the name of the pub opposite) but vets decided she looked like a Sherbet so now I need a wonderful girls and boys name. The little girl is quite fluffy.
