Hope the little ladies settled overnight, Blackie  too.  Thanks again Dawn and I will just be totally relieved when we catch Rusty and Tia too.  All 5 that the woman has elected to keep are all now neutered with help from CP so things should calm down there now.

  The cats Dawn took are Smudge, Titch, Malibu, Sheba and Little Titch.  

I'm totally in love with Titch, she will be a little darling with some tlc  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  Smudge, although the naughty kitten killer has also won me over, she has such a cute little mush on her  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  Oh sod it, they are all gorgeous  :Luv:  :Luv:

Pav, once I see them settled,  I think it will be a job well done, it was awful seeing them today and the fact they haven't got a clue what's going on  :'(  One of the little ladies we couldn't catch had babies the other day which were promptly killed by Smudge, your heart goes out to them when you think about what they must go through when this happens  :'(  :'(  I'm just glad it's all over for most of them now, and they can enjoy being the youngsters they are  :Luv2:  :Luv2:

I know what you mean about the smell Dawn, I can't get it out of my nostrils.  Thanks again.  The cats Dawn took are Smudge, Titch, Malibu, Sheba and Little Titch.  Still to catch are Rusty and Tia. 

I am looking forward to seeing the pix and it was lovely to meet you too.  Enjoyed the mars bar and chips!

Just got back home now, weather unbelievable but the cats are all fine, a little growly but they'll be okay  :)  All are absolutely gorgeous and as soon as they've settled a little, I'll get some piccies of them.  It was lovely to meet you Chrissie and well done for helping out with these babes, god knows what might have been if you hadn't have got involved  :'(  :'(  Oh, and I feel absolutely knackered, stink to high heaven  :sick: so I'm having a coffee and then I'll be scrubbing myself in the shower  :evillaugh:

Thanks to Dawn we managed to get 6 - 5 females and the other tom.  The tom has now gone to Dawn's friend locally to me who will have him neutered and then rehomed.  Dawn has taken the 5 females back with her.  There are 2 unneutered females that Dawn was unable to get so we are going to try again next week.  A million thanks to Dawn for her help,

Phase 1 partially completed.  Only managed to get one tom into a carrier.  However one of the females went into the other carrier on her own so have taken her and the tom (Tigger) to be done.  These are the two unneutered ones that the woman wants to keep anyway so it's not worked out that badly.  Just have to try to sort out something for Blackie the other tom

Dawn and I need your positive thoughts today whilst we undertake the capturing of the kitties and the taking of the toms to be neutered.  Fingers crossed it all goes according to plan and we can bring some relief to these poor little cats.

Just thinking about this now, chances are all the other females are going to be pregnant  :tired:  Tomorrow, we'll have to try and trap the one's that have just had their babies as well, these could do with going in for a check up, poor little things, it's all going to be so stressful for them  :'(  :'(

Just been round to deliver one cat trap (for Dawn tomorrow) and two cat baskets to use for the toms and she now tells me she wants to keep 6 cats.  Forgive me if I SCREAM

Right, just spoke to Angie in Brighton and she's prepared to take on 6  :yayyy:  :yayyy:  :yayyy:  The lucky 6 will be living with her and not being rehomed, she has I think 4 other cats and a couple of dogs, a nice big garden and sounds lovely  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  Dawn, if you're still prepared to do the trip to Brighton on the 19th, that would be fantastic and a huge help  :hug:  :hug:

Because of the nightmare situation we are dealing with now, we are going to try and get as many as we can tomorrow and deal with getting them spayed and transporting them later.  I've got another 12 booked in for next week plus the 4 for this Friday, this will allow me to finish off doing most of the stable ones and all the Manchester cats if need be  :tired:

Re: URGENT 14 cats! (Manchester) UPDATE

Just seen the woman with the cats.  Seems one of them has gone missing (not been seen for a few days) and another litter of kittens have been born and killed.  She then told me she had found a black kitten at the top of the stairs (aged about 2 days).  Her husband had put it on a towel and now that had disappeared too.  Gave her advice about not feeding after time given by vet tonight and keeping them all in tomorrow so toms can go in for neutering and Dawn can collect however many she can.  Not sure if any more of them are pregnant or even if the one who had the babies was the one I saw that was pregnant.  The nightmare continues :'(

it looks like the timing on this isn't going to work out, next Friday is now not possible because of work and I know they are being spayed then anyway DiddyDawn works weekends but if anyone else could get involved and meet me the following Saturday 19th I will take them to Brighton then

I've got somewhere sorted for another 2, Lesley at Freshfields has offered, this is sooooo bloody confusing, I've had so many emails come through but for different pleas for different cats, I'll have to go through them all.

I am going to have to work on oh to do a run from Birmingham to Brighton, unfortunately I was hoping to tie it in with a trip to some friends but it doesn't seem to be working out - I'm only off work for three days next week so it depends on how soon they are ready to be moved once spayed etc.  I will be ringing dd on Monday once I've worked on oh!

The females are quite tiny really.  Have now arranged for Blackie the 2 year old tom to go to Dawn's friends after being neutered on wednesday.

I don't think the cats are that big so would depend really, they seem to settle better in pairs but if it's a long journey which it will be, 4 would probably be better.  They'll be no toms cats so you won't have the pleasure of the tom aroma  ;)

I'll be going over Wednesday to pick some up, so it depends which ones will be going to Brighton.  I'll have a chat with Angie later, and if she's prepared to get the 4 spayed that she's taking, then I can trap them and they can go straight from there.  Whats closest for you or maybe someone can meet you somewhere  :shocked:
