Hi Everyone, just to let you know that i will be voting for Dawns Flintshire Cat Rescue in Wales.  Dawn and Co helped me get my cats out of a terrible mess that i had put them in,   6months of unneccesary quarantine and a 4500 pound and rising bill later, my cats were returned to me thanks to  Dawn, Frank, Elaine, Robyna and many hundreds of other people, who helped raise the cash to get my cats home.  I just can't thank you all enough, and express enough how grateful i am of your help.  I really hope you get the funds, i cant think of anybody else more deserving than yourselves. THANKS A MILLION AND GOOD LUCK

Currently am in the process but the weather has been lovely here today and we have planted 5 trees that came from our last house and now are in the first flower bed and we have made some inroads on waht else we need afterall 4 acres of grass is a bit boring and also contemplating taking out my new toy - a sit on lawnmower i got for Mothers Day!

Can we include our bridge mob to and our on a mission without permission trio and of course the newbie tyson who cam in to the kitchen today for a mosey and then saw Robin - he seems to like women but men are not on his hit list - just got to get the boy neutered!

Lets just hope all the new members that joined just to vote will be buying a diary (or 2 or 3)  ;)

I, for one, will definitely buy one! Congratulations DiddyDawn, I know that the proceeds will be really helpful to your cause and be most welcome. I'm sure that you will put it to good use! Commiserations to the other worthy causes though.

Robin, Liz's other half here, I vote for Dawn as she has more ferals than we do and I would like to keep it that way despite what they talk about!

We currently have 37 of our own, 2 strays - Tyson and Cooper, jazz the JRT and 4 Roe deer, 3 foxes and next doors 3 dogs all needing treats and attention and currently cricket worldcup is on and I have to go! :innocent:

I've joined to vote for Diddy Dawn. I've known her for over 20 years now and, as long as I've known her, she's devoted her life to rescuing all sorts of animals and birds, not just cats. She has always been absolutely selfless and tireless in her chosen 'work', often going without herself so that she could pay (out of her own pocket) to help some poor unfortunate creature or other. She often struggles to make ends meet so I think that she deserves every bit of aid possible to help her continue doing what she does best, hence my vote! Well done Dawn, keep up the good work.

You can see all the information on the rescues here http://www.chaptanservices.com/purrs/index.php?topic=2581.0

It is so difficult to choose as they are all fantastic and do such a brilliant job for needy cats.
I wanted to encourage good support for all the rescues involved so that other rescue staff and supporters who are not members on purrs have the option to show thier support.

At the end of the day it's not a competition for popularity, its solely for the cats in need. The fundraising we do and all the work that goes into them, making the calendar, diaries, auctions, shows and any other projects are to help the cats, for them to have love, to help find forever caring homes, to give them the life they so deserve through the rescues.  I really do wish we could get loads to give to all the wonderful rescues.

Moved post to right thread:-


Hello,

We got our beautiful kitten Tinky from there and Desley had done an absolutely fantastic job with her before we adopted her in showing her so much love and care that Tinky is now a gorgeous loving cat. But without that initial love and persistence, I think she would still be a shy little girl, too frightened to come for cuddles.

Desley also continues to give me support and advice whenever I need it as this is the first time I have had a cat so the help is much appreciated.

Becky and Tinky

Lets not lose sight of the fact that ALL the rescues here are deserving with people who work very hard away from the forum fundraising so their rescue can continue functioning. Some give up their free time despite having full time jobs, and although may not fund the rescue soley by themselves should be rewarded for their time, patience and expertise - and acknowledged for that!


So my humble thanks to ALL rescue people not just those mentioned here

Just seen Lizs post below.

There will be no other auction except the Christmas one sorry.

We do of course have the mid-Summer Cat show which will raise money to help pay for the upkeep of our wondeful mascot cat Minimopsical. This of course is not going to a rescue but to a very special cat who is unable to use a litter tray like other cats and needs a number of very expensive puppy pads everyday as she has to lie on her side due to her brain damage.

Hi
I think Diddy Dawn does a great job with ferral cats.  She works non-stop & gives her all.  We have needed her several times.  She is unique.  The world is a better place with her.
