Wow Pav....What a fantastic update!

I am so pleased that Millie has fallen in love with you,

Millie is obviously comfortable with you, Pav. Now, I wonder where she could find a home with someone she trusts?

Wow Pav....What a fantastic update!

I am so pleased that Millie has fallen in love with you, that shows that to the right person she will be the same in time..... Fantastic that they will allow a rehome straight from yours, I do think having to go back in is silly....You would think that any potential owners could still take from homes as some cats dont do well in centres!

Yes linky please Pav!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #190 on:** January 21, 2010, 18:02:41 PM »

Do you have a link to the site where she is Pav?

Sounds like she will need a very good owner , probably with no cats or children and the new ownere will have to take lots of time to get to know her and then she will be fine.

She is better than Sasa was when she came here and Sasa been rehomed and brought back twice to CP and was considered unhomeable.

Misa is also scared of other people and will hide and refuse to come out while they are here, it took me time with Misa and he still gets frightened of unexpecteed things but he had a truely awful past.

At the end of the day its up to Mayhew to only allow her to go to the right home and owner, just no point doing to her what was done to Sasa. You have given her a chance of a good life

I think is time for update on Millie . Sorry i haven't posted much about her but now she is on Mayhew Rehoming site(She looks so sweet in her cube and i think the way they described her is fair, please have a look and see what you think because i can ask them to change it?) and i know i have to be really pleased for her cos she is going to find a good home and settle but i cant stop worrying What if some one adopt her and then after a while return her or if she doesn't come around and they think she is not the right cat for them, i know i know is no guarantee that every rescue cat find a home for life but she has been with me now for 6 months and she is just so sweet and friendly , as soon as i start playing with her she just drop herself like a lump and cant get enough of tummy and chin rub ,loves to be brushed and doesn't stop purring but if any one comes as close as my front door She just runs and hides so i am not sure how she is going to react to a new home

Last week i asked one of my neighbours to come and see if she likes to adopt her , it was late afternoon and she was sleeping in my bed under the duvet, thats what she does all day everyday and comes out late evening , i havent been able to change this since she's been here! Anyhow i moved the cover and she just started hissing and looked terrified but the good thing is she didnt runaway

Neighbour wasnt impressed so she said no!
The positive thing is that Mayhew likes to rehome her from my place so she doesnt have to go back to a pen .
There are also 2 gorgeous Persian on Mayhew site looking for home

I am sure they do hide Christine cos have looked for a thread and it wasnt there and then a bit later its back!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #187 on:** September 13, 2009, 10:59:23 AM »

I haven't seen this for a few days - I'm convinced threads hide if someone is posting in them while you are looking at your replies - and I'm just adding my congratulations to Pav for a job that's obviously being well done

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #186 on:** September 13, 2009, 08:40:38 AM »

I am glad she is coming round - I am debating fostering a poorly socialised cat for the rescue, but I will be offering that when she is ready, she is rehomed straight from here, to make it easier, but I dont know if the Mayhew will do that. I genuinely dont think they do feel that they have been dumped though, as long as they can go from home to home - Kizzy didn't even care when I left her yesterday and she had been here a year.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #185 on:** September 13, 2009, 02:03:15 AM »

I do feel too that going back to Mayhew would only put her back over!

I feel in future if you feel she is rehibilitated towards people then let the potential new owner take her from your home, then she dont have to go back in!

Its an awkward one with Millie Pav and for sure at the mo you do know her best, I do feel though that trust plays an awful big part for Mille also acceptance of her surroundings.....I cant honestly say if she would take to anyone else, my Blackie takes to me but not to the OH so he dont like men....They are all different I suppose!

Your still down arnt you sweetie......

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #184 on:** September 13, 2009, 00:10:37 AM »

With a cat like Millie, it takes loads of time and I would recommend you do everything at her speed and I have two cats who have been here 4 years and both run and hide if the door bell goes. If someone comes into the house they wont be seen again until after the person has gone!

As you know I still cant touch Sasa but she knows this is home and knows her name.......sigh

I dont know what would happen if you took her back to Mayhew and thats something you would have to discuss with them. I suspect unless they had someone else to foster her she would go back to how she was.

Trigger has done great with Tosker and he was living outside but now seems to prefer being indoors mostly and from what you say, you are doing great with Millie but its time that is the key.

Lovely pictures - Millie is a real credit to you

Liz · « **Reply #182 on:** September 12, 2009, 21:56:33 PM »

Pav you say this fostering lark isn't for you does that mean Miss Millie is a keeper she is a stunning little lady and seems to have wound you nearly round her paw

T(She has killed 3 kitty kopter already )

So glad you used the correct plural for more than one kitty kopter Pav

Can't answer your question about rehoming Pav but imagine it depends on the cat. I best not say any more except she needs someone with the patience of a saint and so pleased she found you

OH winds me up on occasion by asking me to list in order who we would rehome if absolutely necessary if we could only keep one. Afraid we always end up keeping Billy Whiz coz he's such a challenge (he jumped onto bed in wee hours for his 1st belly rub after about 3 months but still can't pick him up). You and Gill could fight over Freddie

..... over my dead body of course

Pav, all I can say is that the pics of Millie are just wonderful. Hope you are OK

pappilon · « **Reply #180 on:** September 12, 2009, 17:22:24 PM »

Thankyou everyone.

Millie has been spending more time out playing(She has killed 3 kitty kopter already

) and exploring the flat than hiding which is great, her new hiding and resting place is on top of kitchen units ! She watch me all the time and follows me to the bedroom every night but if i try to get close or offer her food in my hand she just hisses !!I guess she still is very nervous and the slightest noise even out side make her run and hide. She was so scared when my neighbour came to see her the other day and just disappeared with such speed and didnt come out all night

I know still is early days but i want to know what happenes if say she does trust me and get close and then i take her back to mayhew for rehoming? I am not sure how it works with cats like Millie? Once she comes out of her shell is she going to be ok with other humans,i really hope that is the case . I have to say fostering is not for me, i keep thinking when i take her back she is going to think i have dumped her and what is going to happen to her

Well i guess i just have to deal with it

Ruth, thankyou for the pictures

I'm so pleaed she has finally decided to venture out and interact with .... a true testament to your patience and TLC Pav

Janeyk · « **Reply #173 on:** August 23, 2009, 19:52:50 PM »

I am so glad to finally put face to name....

Thanks for putting these on for us Kitty!

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #170 on:** August 23, 2009, 19:48:05 PM »

Isn't she just? She's still hiding but her play time is clearly a sign she wants to be out. I just think she's lush

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #169 on:** August 23, 2009, 19:47:05 PM »

Well she is doing just great and a little stunner

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #167 on:** August 23, 2009, 19:42:38 PM »

I think this one will melt some hearts. Its scanned images so a bit of brightness but I am sure you can get the gist. This is the little girl who hid for days on end and has slowly started to make her way out to play.

Slowly does it...

Who dat?

Dat red bug?

No, bird!!! Com'ere!

What all da fuss bout?

Some great news: Millie has been coming out to play, still a little wary but she's out. I received some photos in the mail today from Pav of Madam Millie Boots playing with her toys and just being a real missus. I'll scan them later so we have some electronic copies. I'll pop them up so everyone can see.

Pav is still missing Phoebe, naturally, but something tells me that Millie is making a little chink in her armour.

She's an adorable little cat. I must say my heart is mush

Bazsmum · « **Reply #155 on:** August 22, 2009, 02:30:10 AM »

Out of sight "maybe".... Out of our thoughts "never"!.... Still thinking of you Pav!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #154 on:** August 10, 2009, 19:03:57 PM »

Thinking of you Pav!
