Update on this little lady

I've received a couple of emails off Molly and the kittens and mum will be going to Hertfordshire when the kittens are big enough to travel, emails below and the second one is a step in the right direction so well done Hels in not ignoring this one

Quick update for you, sorry about the delay I've been spending all hours
trying to trap a local colony who are starving so killing their kits and
fighting badly between themselves :-( I know I still have more to catch...

When I eventually got hold of the woman she said that a lady from
Hertfordshire is taking them as soon as they are old enough to be moved.
Fingers crossed it's to someone ok, do you have any ideas who it might be?

I made her take my number so if there's any problem with the new home she
can get in touch. I will call her back in a few days time to suggest she
makes sure they've been moved by the time they're 3 weeks old. Don't want
her getting attached to the cute kits and not letting her go...

We can but try our best! xxx

Second email which I'm chuffed about

Result!
Just had a text from the woman, got a second heavily preggers cat apparently
so can I take it? I said yes and will talk to her tomorrow. Dashing off to
fundraising event ('The Fur Ball'!) but so pleased that's another female out
of the breeding system that I had to email! xxx

I've received another email off Molly from Feline care and she's going to try and persuade them to part with mum and babies. I will keep you posted as to what happens, she quite used to dealing with all sorts so hopefully she'll get through to them

They'll be back.

Watching the miracle of birth and seeing those tiny ickle bitty kitties suckling nicely at the milk bar is a novelty for these people right now. Give it a month and the babes will be under their feet, crying all the time and pooping everywhere... oh, yes, they'll be back.

I don't think you have to apologise Hels, we tried didn't we, there's just no helping some peeps

I think I'll leave it to local rescue peeps in the future though.

hels · « **Reply #23 on:** June 23, 2008, 22:28:06 PM »

oh this is all a shame.

i'm sorry i've wasted your times girls and other people's too. let's hope that mum cat will get spayed soon and the kittens are all ok

Millys Mum · « **Reply #22 on:** June 23, 2008, 19:19:29 PM »

So they are willing to move her hours before birth but not after

the house move obviously isnt so important any more

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #21 on:** June 23, 2008, 13:05:33 PM »

Ok hun, I've emailed her and asked if she wants to give them a try, fingers crossed otherwise god knows but these little ones will all be on gumtree in a few weeks

Jasmine · « **Reply #20 on:** June 23, 2008, 13:03:55 PM »

Please do Dawn, I'm not getting back to Carole until later this eve, just in case they have a change of heart...

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #19 on:** June 23, 2008, 12:36:58 PM »

I'll pass the details onto Molly at Feline care if you want. She has offered to speak to them if they need some persuading about getting her into a rescue. What do you think

Jasmine · « **Reply #18 on:** June 23, 2008, 12:15:09 PM »

Okay, I'm going to have to surrender this one...

Mr 'Preloved' doesn't want to move the young cat and her two kittens, I tried to persuade him to take her to the rescue, but he didn't feel happy doing that yet. I did say the rescue could only keep the space open today/tomorrow. It's a real shame, but they do seem caring... if somewhat misguided.

I don't think there is anything else I can really do.

Jasmine · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2008, 11:40:25 AM »

This is turning into a bit of a nightmare... the rescue lady has just mailed me, she's becoming (quite understandably) exasperated by this woman and will only keep the space available for today only, as she has others waiting to come in. I'll try and get hold of her again.

Jasmine · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2008, 21:57:46 PM »

Carole from Crescent Cat Rescue says the lady rang her & arranged to bring the cat in, but hasn't as yet turned up - maybe she feels she can't move her now she's given birth?

Maybe Dawn better keep her contact in the pipeline!

Try to let me know asap as they won't leave the space open too long

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #14 on:** June 22, 2008, 19:53:51 PM »

hopefully they will get in touch and not have a case of the 'awwww cute kittens,lets keep em!'

keeping fingers crossed they do get in touch!

Jasmine · « **Reply #13 on:** June 22, 2008, 19:43:24 PM »

Hi Hels,

I spoke to the guy on the phone yesterday and he said they would ring the rescue themselves - just to be on the safe side, I emailed the details to his OH too and she replied with thanks again.

Emailed the rescue a little while ago to see if they had got in contact, not had a response as yet.

Maybe Dawn better keep her contact in the pipeline!

hels · « **Reply #12 on:** June 22, 2008, 19:28:13 PM »

Hi Jasmine

Do you know if the rescue got in touch with this lady cos she just emailed me to say the cat has had its kittens!

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #11 on:** June 21, 2008, 20:05:47 PM »

Great that this is sorted, if there's any problems let me know as another rescue has said they will take her

hels · « **Reply #9 on:** June 21, 2008, 19:36:59 PM »

excellent thanks for your help. i was just coming to say that the poster emailed me back and said they'd be happy for the help. i'm pleased it has worked out and that the people were grateful, makes a nice change!

LesleyW · « **Reply #8 on:** June 21, 2008, 19:34:32 PM »

Well done Jasmine.

Jasmine · « **Reply #7 on:** June 21, 2008, 15:47:07 PM »

Hope peeps don't mind me stepping in on this one - it just it used to be my 'neck of the woods'.

Crescent Cat Rescue in Thorpe-le-soken (5 miles away!) can take this cat, I've just rung the advertiser who will be getting in contact with the rescue direct - they sounded very pleasant & genuinely grateful.

I'll follow it up with the rescue lady just to make sure and let you know when cat is safe & sound.

Jasmine · « **Reply #6 on:** June 21, 2008, 15:26:11 PM »

I have found space in a rescue 5 mins away - am contacting lady on Preloved now.

Mark · « **Reply #5 on:** June 21, 2008, 12:20:04 PM »

There is also a CP in Basildon. Not sure if that is nearer?

Jasmine · « **Reply #4 on:** June 21, 2008, 11:40:20 AM »

Walton is also only 30 mins from Colchester, try PM'ing Millysmum?

Jasmine · « **Reply #3 on:** June 21, 2008, 11:35:32 AM »

Can the Blue Cross in Walton not take her in?

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #2 on:** June 21, 2008, 02:07:17 AM »

Hels, I've passed the info onto a few contacts, hopefully someone will be able to get her. I've pm'd you for the details as well in case anyone can help

hels · « **Reply #1 on:** June 20, 2008, 23:45:37 PM »

I was looking through preloved at work today, just looking to give people advice if i can and things like that and i saw this

www.preloved.co.uk/fuseaction-adverts.showadvert/index-1031450391/49cecf21.html

it's someone giving away their pregnant cat and i cant help but perhaps there's someone here who can?

just to also add that i have a preloved account if someone can help and wants to contact them

thanks
