What lovely cats and they look quite sad

Wonderful ythat they are going to be fostered and are safe

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #27 on:** December 01, 2008, 08:07:26 AM »

Fingers crossed for their bloods.

Janeyk · « **Reply #26 on:** November 30, 2008, 17:45:39 PM »

awww

, they are just lovely and Penny is very like my Byron. Age is very hard to tell because like Desley says some cats we've had have looked older than older cats we have had.

I am glad they are settling down more too.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #25 on:** November 30, 2008, 17:35:57 PM »

at the end of the day I don't think we ever 'know' for sure... but I definately think Penny is much older even by the condition of her coat and especially her teeth.

We will just have to wait and see what their blood test results bring next week and just hope in the meantime its nothing to be worried about!

They are lovely, but I can understand your concern on Monday's nose - they could be 10 though, and their condition could be a bit worse due to their traumatic experience - Pebbles looked worse at 11 than Ginger did at 15.

Fair point - Edgar looks good for 12 where as Oscar, well if you told me he was 18 I wouldn't call you a liar lol!!

Poor little mites bless them for staying by there mum, I would have thought the family would at leased try and find them a loving home as that would have been the poor old Lady's last wished,I had a smiler case a few years back where a Lady died and the cat was locked in with her for three weeks i called her Thursday she stayed in my office in a cupboard for Monthes and was so depressed then Rona a kind lady who went on Cat chat Took her in and gave her a wonderfull home it took near on a year before Rona got her trust and still has Thursday to this Day, bless your mum for taking them in,I Really hope the poor Babes find a forever loving home soon.

Poor babies, hope you can sort something for them ... They don't deserve to spend their last days in a pen ...

they certainly won't that... mum is prepared to keep them with her for as long as it takes so at least they will be in a home environment BC.

Great news, so happy for them. Poor babies, they really are a lovely pair of oldies aren't they ...

:Luv2:Ahhh bless them .. poor little darlings. Thank heavens they have have each other, you and your mum. It sounds like they have already made their choice and decided your Mum is going to be their new protector.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #14 on:** November 29, 2008, 16:52:09 PM »

exactly... hence why I think we were told 10 after other rescue's refused them on age..... but deffo much older.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #13 on:** November 29, 2008, 16:51:42 PM »

Love Pennys markings and glad they're settling in.

blackcat · « **Reply #12 on:** November 29, 2008, 16:50:20 PM »

They certainly don't seem to be carrying their age well if they are only 10 - My sister's cat looked better than that aged 23 ...

A wee update on this little duo for you all and of course the all important piccies!!

I popped out to visit this duo yesterday and lets just say I'm not 100% convinced they are 10 years old, in fact I'd go as far to say that they are much older than that at approx 15 especially Penny! Penny is still very thin but has begun to put on some weight which is good and is not quite as clingy to Monday however they are exceptionally close and normally within 3 feet of each other at all times, bless them.

I was a little concerned by a scab on monday's nose which has been cleaned up and looks much better. For now I am hoping it was just dry food he hadn't cleaned off but otherwise he is doing fine and loving having the company of mum, although perhaps not so much of the dogs!

They have sweetest of natures, both of them and despite me pulling them about yesterday they were full of cuddles and purrs. Such little sweetie pies.

Both are booked in for their blood tests on Wednesday so fingers are crossed that everything comes back OK. I think we will be exceptionally lucky to find homes for this duo, but should that happen they will stay with mum permanently whilst we try to find a long term foster for them.

The most important thing is they are safe for now so...... piccie time!

This is Monday.....

This is Penny.....

and this.... well this is how you'll find that at all times... together!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #10 on:** November 25, 2008, 08:11:50 AM »

I am glad they are feeling more settled.

Janeyk · « **Reply #9 on:** November 25, 2008, 07:21:36 AM »

aww, that's lovely to hear

I think it so sweet she licked your mum she was thanking her

hope they continue to improve xx

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #8 on:** November 24, 2008, 22:33:41 PM »

just a wee update on this wonderful little duo. Monday is starting to come round and be a little more confident and Penny not quite as fussy over him but both still a bit jumpy.

Both have started to eat a little, which is better than nothing and mum was so pleased this afternoon. She went for a lay down for a bit and monday and penny had a bite to eat and then monday jumped onto the bed over to mum and licked her face.... yes some may go eeewww but bearing in mind the scenario... I went awwwww.

both have been curling up at the foot of the bed at night and we hope todays improvements will continue.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2008, 13:07:49 PM »

very true Gill, at least she had her cats which were apparently her reason for living bless her.

The 2 little one's are still very stressed out but are coming round. Penny is fussing over Monday like a little mother hen mum says and constantly back and forward. Mum has also noticed that Penny won't eat unless Monday does and is very protective of him.

Hopefully with some time and TLC they will come round soon. Will get pics soon as I get a chance to pop over to mums for a visit.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #6 on:** November 23, 2008, 12:54:42 PM »

That is so sad and they must have loved her so much

I am so pleased that you have been able to save them

Sadly this is a story that I am sure is heard more and more because people just do not stay in contact with older people.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #5 on:** November 23, 2008, 12:48:38 PM »

Aww, fingers crossed for these two, such a sad story

Janeyk · « **Reply #4 on:** November 23, 2008, 10:46:46 AM »

what a sad story, but so nice that you and your mum are helping those two kitties out

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #3 on:** November 23, 2008, 10:39:11 AM »

I didn't ask... but most likely not many family visitors or phone calls made to the old woman, that'd be the usual reason.

There was plenty of food out for the cats in the house but they just hadn't eaten any of it choosing instead to stay with the body, well that is what we have been told anyway. bless them

Yvonne · « **Reply #2 on:** November 23, 2008, 10:33:38 AM »

Thanks to you and your mum for giving this pair a foster home.

Dare I ask why it took so long for their owner to be discovered?

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #1 on:** November 23, 2008, 10:30:15 AM »

Over the last couple of days we have been in phone contact with a lovely lady regarding 2 cats, Monday & Penny. Their elderly owner had recently died and after having lay on the bed with the body for several days before she was found have been locked in a family battle to save them from being PTS for the convenience of some!

Neither has eaten properly and both have lost weight since the death of their owner but thankfully we had space for this gorgeous little duo so that they now have somewhere safe to rest their head.

Both are extremely traumatised and took nearly 3 hours to come out of their carriers and so far Monday still continues to run back into his as soon as you approach the room. We felt it best not to place this duo in pens as they have been through so much already and are concerned at them becoming depressed after their recent ordeal so we have placed them in 'foster' with my mum who is taking good care of them.

it is just so sad to know what they have been through and to think that had a single person not been so determined these poor little mites would be dead.
