Oh no ... I didn't realise she had done a runner. Fingers crossed she will be found.

I missed the latest news. How sad that Nani has resisted help

for Chris.

Any news on this little girl Christine?

No, I am afraid his mum only hears from Chris once a week at the weekend when he can get into Kathmandu. I suspect that when he said Nani legged it, he has not seen hide nor hair of her since, sadly

His mum has contacted the sanctuary, so they will not be holding a space for Nani.

His mum certainly knows how much effort you yourself, and others on here, went to

Sorry not to bring better news

Sending positive vibes Nani turns up safe and well

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #43 on:** July 06, 2008, 17:20:32 PM »

Well, I have just heard from my friend and it is good news and bad news from Nepal.

The good news is that Nani came on in leaps and bounds while Chris was caring for her. The bad news is that she recovered to such an extent that she upped and legged it via his balcony.

My friend will contact the sanctuary in Nepal to tell them.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #42 on:** July 02, 2008, 15:54:59 PM »

Poor Chris is probably at this time absolutely petrified, you lot are soooooo cruel

And Julie, what a fab idea

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #41 on:** July 02, 2008, 15:51:26 PM »

I have a cunning plan.

How's about we make Chatlines and dating services a thing of the past and just get all single blokes to sign up for cat rescue? £50 a time to clean out litter trays and you get to have dinner with a Purrs 'greenie'

Fingers crossed for wee kitten.

On a lighter note, I have to tell you that Chris is a very good-looking lad as well (he'll not thank me for posting that ).

And does he like older women

I'm not that old!!!

Dawn and everyone! The internet is a truly amazing medium and this forum is one of the most fantastic places on it.

I have immediately emailed my friend with the full contact details and offer of help from KAT and she will forward this to Chris. I will post an update as soon as I hear from her (which will be as soon as she hears from him). I do so hope it went well with the veterinary visit on Monday...

The contacts lists I have is worldwide so nothing is impossible

And the web makes the world a very small place and I agree, Chris sounds like a fab young man and he should be very proud of himself

Wow you guys are amazing ... sounds like this little kitten is going to get the best treatment available.

I've just had another email, same phone number Christine as I've just sent you, so it's a definite offer from Kathmandu Animal Treatment centre:

Dear Dawn.

Please contact Kathmandu Animal Treatment centre (KAT) We have all the facilities to care and treat this kitten. katcentre@wlink.com.np. Phone 4373169. www.katcentre.org.np I believe we contacted you earlier today about this kitten.

We are located at Budhanilkanta, which is on the northern side of the Kathmandu valley.

All best wishes in coping with this problem.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #24 on:** July 02, 2008, 14:05:51 PM »

Christine, I've just had an offer of help off someone to take this little one if needed. I'll pm you the details

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #23 on:** July 01, 2008, 21:59:39 PM »

Dawn. Suspect our boy sent for a western vet working over there (in fact, I am sure he did) but will ensure he sees this...

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #22 on:** July 01, 2008, 21:30:47 PM »

Just had another email through off someone which may or may not help:

There are a number of options. If the cat is found in Kathmandu district it can be taken to Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (www.katcentre.org.np) in Buddhilnakant, or to SPCA Nepal, close to Pashupati (www.spcanepal.org.np)

If it is found in Lalitpur district Animal Nepal can help. We rehabilitate sick or injured stray dogs and cats in volunteers' homes. We are overloaded at the moment but we can help in finding adoptive parents after the cat has recovered.

One suggetion: not many vets are able to treat cats in Nepal. Pls contact staff of animal welfare orgs to ask for advice!

Julie, I cannot begin to tell you how much he appreciates the moral support from all of Purrs. He has the link to this thread (although he can't see it yet), as does his mum (who can

).

Let us hope and pray that Nani will be saved by his compassion. If not, then at least we know that she was saved from torture.

I shall update as soon as I have news.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #20 on:** July 01, 2008, 20:25:14 PM »

Christine, do please pass on the message to this wonderful young man that it's a very noble thing he's done, and whatever the outcome we know exactly how he feels and are with him all the way.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #19 on:** July 01, 2008, 19:53:36 PM »

Excellent news .. so pleased they have managed to get a vet to see her. Fingers crossed this little one can be saved ... Chris sounds like a lovely young man ... doing voluntary teaching work, cat lover ..... don't suppose he wants an "older" women does he!

It looks to be very useful, I may keep that one handy myself Fingers crossed for this little one and I hope he manages to get the help that she needs

He and his roomie paid for a good vet to come out to Nani and they know not to worry about cost, so if she can be saved, she will be. Chris adored his family pud, Jenny, and Jenny worshipped him, which tells you a lot about his way with cats

Thanks, Dawn

that does look as if it might be very useful, doesn't it? I have sent the link for this thread to my friend and she has forwarded it to Chris in Nepal, so he will be able to check it all out when he is back in Kathmandu at the weekend (he is in a remote village doing his voluntary teaching work and has no Internet access during the week).

This also means that we can't get an update until Saturday

Bless him. I do wonder if bringing the kitten back to the UK would be that costly, I can find out for you if you like Christine so that Chris is informed before he makes any decisions?

I have told her that it won't cost thousands. Nani is seeing the vet today so let us see what the outcome of that is. Gil has discovered that the Nepalese have a habit of saying it with sticks if they suspect rabies, but I have told her that her highly-educated son is probably in a better position to judge the likelihood of that than the village children.

I saw the note from Chris to his mother, and it included this: 'I think there is a good chance that she will die. At least we will be able to give her a comfortable ending to her short life. She has great spirit and is definitely a people cat, just like Jenny.'

I am so proud of my friend's son for what he is trying to do.

Thank you again, everyone, for your advice and support.

No news yet except that Chris has called the kitten Nani (baby girl in Nepali). I will update this thread with any news about her.
