NEw fosters coming this weekend!!

[Desley (booktigger)]

They are still only nibbling on their food, Moses likes catmilk, so at least I know she is getting something into her, and I got George to eat some Natures MEnu treats last night, and a friend is coming over on Sat with treats, so hopefully he will like some of them, and I do still have to keep separating Tiddles, as I dont think it is fair on her to feel like she constantly has to hiss and spit at the other two, and she does bat them from time to time, which isn't fair on them. WE have had a few tummy issues, one has had blood in their poo, and one has been sick, I am hoping it is a combination of worms and stress rather than anything more serious.

any update with the fosters?

[Desley (booktigger)]

i know, they aren't eating very well, despite their owner giving us their wet and dry food. Tiddles has finally eaten overnight (and the catnip sock is wet through!!), but I am not sure how much George has eaten - the dry food is going down more than the wet. I am going to take Tiddles back in with the other two this evening, and see if she is more settled now she has had some time out - they were kept in one room at their owners, so it could just be she is fed up of them.

Poor Tiddles, it must be hard for them leaving their home where they were loved.

[Desley (booktigger)]

Well, I have ended up putting Tiddles into the bathroom, cos she wouldnt stop growling and hissing, and she was barely eating and seemed too stressed. She isn't growling in the bathroom fortunately. They are all very affectionate

[Desley (booktigger)]

Wonderful, thanks Kelly. I have only had enquiries for kittens this weekend!!
The two oldest are on the thin side, and quite hungry and act as though they are desperate for affection (although the male does scurry into a safe place when you walk in). The youngest is very hissy spitty (while headbutting you for more loves!!), so if she is still like this in a few days, I think I will split her up, she hasn't eaten much yet, and it can't be nice being that agitated all the time - I put some RR on her ears last night, but it didn't make much difference.

I passed the details onto the lady who originally enquired about Marmy as well as to someone else who had emailed so hopefully they will call either you or rescue (for Tilly or Tammy) I'll keep pushing these 3 with any enquiries we get.

[Desley (booktigger)]

I know, the poor lady did look very ill. The cats are very shy at the moment, so just leaving them to settle and wandering in for short periods. The male was described as a grey tabby, but I would class him as a brown tabby - he is very dark on his back. Then we have 2 black and white females, I am struggling to work out which one is which at the moment!! There is Moses, who is 8 ,and Tiddles who is 4. I have never come across a cat called Moses before, although had both a George and a Tiddles (last Tiddles was also black and white!!). George and what I think is Moses are both on the thin side, so will try and build those two up, and Tiddles is bigger. If she seems a bit on the big side, I might put her in the bathroom for a short while each day to let the others eat more food. Pics will take a while.

Would be my worst nightmare 

[Desley (booktigger)]

i know, the poor lady.

[Christine (Blip)]

I agree with Gill: a diagnosis like that and then having to give up your cats on top of it.  Awful.

[Desley (booktigger)]

Thanks.

[kelly-joy]

Aww poor women having to give her babies how heart breaking.Hope you can find they great homes soon.

[Desley (booktigger)]

Thanks everyone - and you are right Nic, I couldnt have helped them if Garfield and MArmy were still here. I do feel very sorry for the owner, she kept saying both last night despite there being 3 cats, so I wonder if she only wants us to take 2 of them. We shall see what happens tomorrow, I am currently waiting to hear from my friend over a suspected homeless kitten!!

[madkittyrescue]

oooh nice one Desley.   I'm sure the little ones will be grateful for a warm, safe place to rest their weary heads.

Hope all goes well with this 3... all paws, fingers and toes well and truly crossed for them here.

Look forward to the piccies????  

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Poor Owner, I feel so sorry in a case like this and it must be terrible to be ill like this and then also have to give up the cats. Loads of good wishes to the owner 

Well Desley , you know what we will be waiting for 

[Garfield&Gypsy]

Good luck with the new fosters - it looks as though everything has worked out for the greater good recently!

We adopted Garfield, Marmy got Adopted too - giving you ample space to open your doors to other cats searching for a loving home!

 Desley you're a STAR!!

[JackSpratt]

Eep! Good luck, Desley.

[Desley (booktigger)]

On Sunday, so I better enjoy my last day of rest tomorrow, cos shall be back up to 6 on Sun (over my comfortable limit!!). Their owner has liver cancer, so is unable to keep them, there is a 7yo grey tabby, a 4yo black and white female, and an 8yo black and white female. Fingers crossed they settle OK, and are easy to rehome - she said they could be split up, so I shall see what they are like here. I have only ever had 2 adults in my cat room, so fingers crossed it is big enough for 3 (6ft 9 by 11 ft 9, but there is 2 bookcases and a wardrobe in there).
