Firstly I will apologise I haven't done this sooner. I was full of great intentions to get this update online a couple of weeks ago however lets just say Baby Ross has had other ideas!! ... but without further ado.... here are some pics and updates for you all of some of the Harbour Babies we have just now....
Little Ronnie - some of you may remember her as the kitten who came to us earlier in the year with a multitude of problems. not least a big hole in her eye, cat flu, riddled with worms, filthy, scrawny, etc and at just 12 weeks old. As time has gone on wee Ronnie takes a few steps forward and then another few steps back and despite being a very happy wee soul at the moment our vets feel that she will not make 'old bones' and may only have a couple of years if she is lucky. To this end we have decided that little Ronnie will remain with us at the Harbour where she is happy loved and content until her time comes to go to Rainbow Bridge. She is such a funny wee girl and whilst she remains happy.... we will continue to give her everything she needs.
Angel was taken into our vets to be PTS as she was urinating in the house. We got a call to ask if we would be willing to take her rather than have a gorgeous, friendly 5/6yr old cat PTS and of course we couldn't turn her away. As it turned out she is a fit healthy wee girl just living in an exceptionally busy house with lots of other pets including dogs, cats and rabbits as well as several young children in a very busy noisey house... she just couldn't cope and was stressed. Seen it hundreds of times before. Since we have had this amazing little girl she has done brilliantly well and is now seeking a lovely quiet home to rest her wee head and be loved and happy. This pic was taken on her arrival...
I'll share this wee guys pic quickly... this is Audi who came to us via one of our volunteers after he was advertised for sale at 7 weeks old. He spent a few weeks at the Harbour preparing him for his new home and teaching him how to eat, etc as he hadn't been weaned properly and has left us just last week to join his new home where he is tearing round the place at 100 miles an hour... but isn't he cute??
We also took in 4 BSH cats from a single household that were in horrific condition... they have finally all started to bounce back and their condition improve and they are now all looking for new homes. Sadly one of their owners died and they found themselves living outside over the winter and had some horrid sores on their legs and the matting to their fur was shocking... especially for short hair cats as you can see in the pics below. Thankfully as Damon demonstrates at the bottom pic with our niece they are looking and feeling much much better...

Damon looking much better....
Toby the cheeky wee ginger boy who was hit by a car and has spent his recovery at Sunny Harbour has finally been cleared for adoption and found himself a wonderful new home rather quickly and will be leaving us this week...
Marco who was a very badly beaten boy also found his new home a couple of weeks ago and is settling in briliantly well making strides every day to gain more confidence and get back to a 'normal' life he should have always had.
Monty our cheeky little ginger 9 mth old kitten left us last night after a couple of months at the harbour gaining confidence and learning how to be a cat. He is going to keep his new pawrents on their toes but is settling in wonderfully already...
Korky our big black stray boy who we have had for a year and thought we would never find a home for finally found his new home a few weeks ago and is settling in great and really making himself at home. We are so pleased for him after having been through so much and spending so long at the Harbour.
We also have Beau who is looking for a new home again after finding himself up for sale to the first taker... stunning wee lad only 11 mths old and the Harbour is his 5th home already.... poor boy!
We were also very pleased when Tolkien our 12 yr old Maine Coon also found his retirement home. Here is a pic of him settling in and enjoying the rays in his new home...
We have a few others floating around too just not many pics of them at the moment but needless to say they are all happy and finding their feet at the Harbour.... We are hoping to have a few more into new homes before Baby Ross decides to make an 'appearance' to make life a little easier but we are very grateful to our wee band of hands on volunteers who have done an amazing job at helping out with all the hard work this last few weeks.
Hope you all enjoy the piccies and reading about some of our current residents and I will try my best to get more up soon!
