Well done girls - 2 more saved. Its a shame you had to pay her to help her out  :Crazy:

Here's a couple of pics of the gorgeous girls  :Luv:  :Luv:  The one under the blanket is Amelia as she's now called, she was petrified bless her but seems a little more settled now, Sasha is the Persian, she's a little growly but will settle down.  The breeder said that Amelia didn't handle the pregnancy and birth too well, she lost a lot of weight and was generally run down.   She did say it was best that she was spayed so I do think on the whole, she does care about the cats and maybe doesn't realise the extent of the problem as regards homeless cats and kittens.   I've noticed on Amelia one of her third eyelids is slightly showing so she's possibly still a bit out of sorts and she definitely needs building up, she is so tiny.  Sasha has sneezed a couple of times since bringing her home but she had a bath before we picked her up, so maybe she's got a little chill.  When we picked them up, Sasha was petrified of the "Bengal", so even though I don't like the idea of "buying" a cat to line someone's pockets, I think this was money well spent for the sake of Sasha's emotional welfare, so thanks to everyone who enabled this to happen  :hug:  :hug:

What a great result- there really are some fantastic people on here !
I do what i can to help -i don''t work due to health issues ,but i do try and help where i can - i did buy some  fleece and posted it to Chapelhouse (i think there were 6 metres and some cat toys )
I also sell odd bits on ebay occasionally to help cats (or pay for vets if i get a big bill !!).
I also have had a stall at local cat shows and raised funds there -selling things.
I bought a lot of cat diamonte designs to sell and will be selling the last of them later on.
I have mainly given to Chapelhouse and look to see who else i can help.
I also occasinally buy a "feed a cat " off ebay too for various charities.

Well both of them are on their way to Wales now  ;D  The little black and white girl is tiny but very sweet natured and the Persian is gorgeous.

Interesting journey  :shify:  I'm glad I wasn't on my own.

Just waiting to get hold of Susanne, got a couple of things to do and then I'll be setting off.  Trying to sort cash out for the persian as well, she said I can leave a cheque and wait for it to clear but not really keen on that idea plus it means another trip  :tired:

Only just caught up with this as been offline at home for the weekend. Just wanted to say to Susanne to be careful if she is going alone into a strange persons house with lots of cash.  I know I probably worry unnecessarily, but if you can take a friend it might be worthwhile - you never know what an area is like when it is not local to you.  I would offer to help but I have to go out to dinner with clients tonight so I won't be around.  If it ends up being another night then let me know. I often think that going in pairs is a good idea - especially when you see some of the places Teresa has taken me to!!!

Good luck with the rescue.

The advert says she's grey (just goes to show she doesn't know what she's doing!) and is neutered and microchipped.

Ask about papers Dawn - if she's charging £200 then should get papers.  Remember the £450 is for a kitten not an ex breeding queen.

The advert says she comes with papers.

Be very careful when handing over any money Dawn or Suzanne, the name on the advert is "Smith".  Make sure you have hold of cat(s) before handing anything over, there have been lots of scams etc recently. :hug:

The least she'll take is £170, she is spayed, microchipped etc but she'll only take cash in case the cheque bounces.

Susanne has said it's okay for her to go over this evening to pick the little black/white kitty up  :)  Still trying to find out more about the Persian, she's advertised her apparently so wants to know asap.

Have checked bank balance and can give a bit more ;D

I have to say you are all fantastic, hubby thinks we are all a little mad  :evillaugh:

I wonder why that would be, probably frightened you won't help any more. :shify:

Possibly, but I also think a conversation with Sean had something to do with it  :innocent:
