to you Lesley!

What a super little family... look forward to many pics & updates

LesleyW · « **Reply #34 on:** May 17, 2008, 10:51:16 AM »

Mum and babies have arrived safely and mum is tucking into her food bowl with gusto. They travelled brilliantly with not a peep and mum is very scrummy. My BIG thanks to Patrick, very nice to meet you,

and Jasmine for their assistance in this and piccies will be posted later.

These little darlin's

are now on their way to their new foster mum, Lesley.
(Just met Angie's OH - seems the ol' gal couldn't get up in time after all

)

LesleyW · « **Reply #32 on:** May 15, 2008, 16:52:00 PM »

Can I swap your OH for mine

Angiew · « **Reply #31 on:** May 15, 2008, 15:35:23 PM »

Thats the reason I have OH - he always does a first feed and I get to sleep in

Mum seems to have forgone the litter tray last night in favour of a bloody difficult place to reach in the corner of my room under the desk. I can smell it (which is why I went looking for it) but cannot get to it - oh well it will dry up in a few weeks and tonight however hot it gets in here , she is going to have to rough it with the kittens!

Just seen this but I am in Oxford and can help with transport if Im needed.xx

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2008, 08:31:58 AM »

mum and babies are gorgeous! Afraid I'm just too far away to help out ... but good luck!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #22 on:** May 15, 2008, 08:27:13 AM »

Glad that you have something sorted - there are very few kittens round here, which is good.

Angie
I keep looking at the title of this thread and laughing and then wondering how on earth a rescue could need kittens?

Oh T - you know there are some nicer parts of this green and pleasant animal loving nation that actually do have kitten shortages and are sometimes quite desperate to acquire some for the local population - or am I not understanding your mirth.

Angie I thought they only bought posh pedigrees in those areas Corgi`s

Angiew · « **Reply #20 on:** May 14, 2008, 20:16:29 PM »

works for me but I might have to leave the front door open and tell mr Jasmine to help himself

What time pick up - or am I dropping them off the the Jasmine residence (which of course I will do if its easier)

Oh thank god you've sorted it...was going to offer to help, but could only do saturday pm.

OK, I have just spoken to 'Mr Jasmine', he can do the run on Sat am, but it will be an early start (he has to be in Exeter midday).
This means any potential drop-off at Newbury would have to be at 9.30 sharp.

That's okay with me, I can be at Chieveley Services, just off the M4, A34 junction for 9.30 am.

We seem to be having a black cat season instead this year!

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2008, 16:36:33 PM »

Strangely we only have one mum and 5 kittens in our care at the moment. The only kittens we have had so far this year (famous last words)!) But i know that other branches are heaving.. Bexley has loads and more in the pipeline.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2008, 15:31:51 PM »

Aw and just look at that little one right at the back!

LesleyW · « **Reply #11 on:** May 14, 2008, 15:17:54 PM »

I've had someone waiting for a tortie baby since last September - a lovely family who had one of my scrapyard kittens from Dawn about 18 months ago now.

Angiew · « **Reply #10 on:** May 14, 2008, 15:14:37 PM »

Well mum and 4 kitens have arrived. So these are the family.

Mum is very soft and cute - though it could just be the hormones!

The kittens eyes are opening so they must be about 7 - 10 days.

Corporal Smokey · « **Reply #9 on:** May 14, 2008, 14:29:07 PM »

I know it's not much help now Angie but in a few weeks if the same sort of situation arises I might be able to help.

Unfortunately for these particular kitties I'm off on holiday in a week and Ian starts his new job on Monday so he says we have too much going on and I have to respect his decision.

The better news is that his new job is near Balsall Common so he won't be a million miles away!

Sorry I can't help any more than transport this time round.

Angiew · « **Reply #8 on:** May 14, 2008, 13:28:25 PM »

Brilliant. It looks like we have the makings of a plan here.
I've just been told that another of our foster cats is getting fatter (we've had her a couple of weeks) and the vet has confirmed she's over mid way.

This is so depressing - I've been posting some CP neutering leaflets as well - they are doing a good job advertising their services around coventry do not understand why people are so

!!

Corporal Smokey · « **Reply #7 on:** May 14, 2008, 13:06:23 PM »

If they need to go anyhwere north of Coventry I might be able to help with transport. Preferably on and East Mids/Yorkshire stretch.

Jasmine · « **Reply #6 on:** May 14, 2008, 12:48:57 PM »

If I'm honest, I do have reservations about moving pregnant mums/young kittens, but if this is their only realistic chance of care/survival then I MIGHT be able to help Sat am:

OH is driving to Exeter... so looking at the map... he could make a detour south to join the M4 at Newbury (handover point) , then head west.

I do need to stress at this point, that he is working away from home today & I haven't been able to get in contact with him to ask if this is ok.

So just a possibility to bear in mind Angie/Lesley/ Koscha?

Jas

I've got Lesleys back if transports needed

can do from London down no probs.........Need to go to Ikea any way!
Damn....need that money for cat-proofing then I can consider fostering

LesleyW · « **Reply #3 on:** May 13, 2008, 15:15:25 PM »

Ange, I've got time and space if we can get them here.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #2 on:** May 13, 2008, 12:43:30 PM »

Angie we have plenty of kitten action, but will always try help in an emergency.

Angiew · « **Reply #1 on:** May 13, 2008, 12:29:04 PM »

Are there any rescues anywhere that would like some kitten action? Is is worth trying to get a litter action team in place to see if we can migrate some of these from area to another?
