[Janeyk]

  Pav, you have my no if you want to talk xx

[pappilon]

I have been speaking to the vet and the rescue,she had the pain killer and now is having oxygen still very stressed and they cant do anything because she is still in shock they said she is critical and i should prepare for worse The rescue is talking to their vet to see whats best to do they areconcern that she is suffering also they are considering with a cat like Millie if she needs after care and med how fare is to put her through this. oh god this is like a nightmare i cant stop thinking she is terrified and not knwing whats happening to her.

[Janeyk]

  Aww Pav, sending all my love and hugs to you and Millie   

[bunglycat]

So sorry to hear Millie has been in a RTA -really hope she pulls through and sending mega healing vibes from me and the cats in Lincoln and loads of these 

[Liz]

We have all paws crossed her at the clan for you and Millie

[Tan]

Oh Pav hun 

Sending over all my love and hugs to you both. I hope she will be ok hun. When did the vet say they would contact you to see how she is?

I know you will be worried sick and feeling so awful and in a bit of shock. I wish i was there to be with you.  Please hun don't blame yourself, as Helen says you care for her so well and given her the chance to see what love can be like. Cats are happy going out and i completely understand as i have been through it with Gizmo and Rio that they get very depressed once tasted the outside world and then kept in.  It's one of the hardest decisions to make for your cat - Keep in and safe but unhappy or let out and take a risk but be very happy.  You made the right one for her happiness hun as i did for my two lads. 

I am sending so many good vibes and love over your way and hers. Huge hugs hun 

[moira]

I'm so sorry to hear about Millie, Pav. Please don't blame yourself. Thinking of you both today.

[Tiggy's Mum]

Poor baby  you must be out of your mind with worry  Will be thinking of you both and sending positive vibes that Millie can pull through 

Please don't blame yourself, you have given Millie a wonderful home and an opportunity to be loved  What happened was an accident and completely out of your control, you were allowing her to be happy

 Millie was involved in RTA this morning, i rushed her to my vet but she didn't look good. Her left eye was covered in blood and cut and her mouth was a mess my vet said its head trauma He said for now he is going to give her pain killers and monitor her she was hissing and spiting at me and the vet , i told him she is terrified of people but she is really gentle just scared. She must be really scared right now being in a different place I did call the rescue and told them what happened.
Millie has come along way since 14 months ago, its been slow but she has become a very confident cat, but still terrified of people she started going out few months ago and really enjoys it, i tried to keep her in but she was so stressed crying and hanging from doors and windows to go out, she comes home every eve and has her meal and then goes upstairs to my bed and sleeps on my pillow till i go to bed all night she snuggle up to me and purrs and throw her self at me but comes morning she is a different cat she acts like a ferral, in last 14 months only 2 people have come to see her but they decided she is not the right cat! i know if some one give her a chance and be patient she will come around she is so gentle but i do understand people prefer friendly cats.Last week when i went to rescue to see what else we can do for her because i am leaving in couple of months and i need to make sure she is settled taking her back to a cat cabin in rescue will make her depress and they think she will just go back to how she was I told them she is now crossing the road and it really worries me they said they might be able to home her in a farm ? bUT THEN SHE LOVES HER HOME COMFORT and her freedom too, i was asked if i can keep her a bit more cos they are so full till they discuss it with other officers, now i wish i hadn't she left home at 7am this morning and as usual i watched her going to back garden and the to neighbours garden and the around 10 i heard a crying i knew it was her she sounds like kitten i asked my neighbour upstairs to look from her balcony to see if she can see her and i went to the street looking some how she made it back to next door flat volt i had to put a lather to get to  her and she was badly hurt my neighbour rushed us to my vet and now she is there i feel so bad and guilty she was in my care :'(and my responsibility.Please send her some vibesplease. ThankxSorry for long post when you think things cant get any worse

Pav, I have never known a foster cat not settle in a new home, even when they have been here a year, and even the less sociable cats - and as Gillian says, you have helped her come out of her shell, which helps a lot when they go to a new place.

[Gillian Harvey]

I just have to put my feelings on the side and accept it It is going to be so hard for me cos she thinks here is her home and i hate to think how scared she will be in her new place but just hope it pass.

Hopefully Pav, she won't be so scared now, because of how much you've helped her to come out of her shell 

[pappilon]

Ruth, when i fostered Millie from Mayhew i had to sign a form , i am not allowed to advertise her . She is basicly Mayhew cat not mine and she has to be homed through them and that is a good thing because if  the owner decides no longer to keep her they take her back, they also have some thing called friends of Mayhew and you basickly pay £10.00 a year and in event of your death they take the cat back and rehome her/him even if its not their cat.
I just have to put my feelings on the side and accept it It is going to be so hard for me cos she thinks here is her home and i hate to think how scared she will be in her new place but just hope it pass. I dont know never done fostering before and never want to do it again. Not strong enough when it comes to animals.
But thankx for the suggestion.

[Bazsmum]

What about putting her in our rehoming sect then Pav, nothing to lose and Im sure there will be loads of peeps intrested in her! 

[pappilon]

Just a thought - the ideal solution would be for someone on Purrs to adopt Millie  - We are to faraway sadly

Yep, that would be ideal I can always offer a return ticket and B&B to Mayhew home checker if they happy to travel  :naughty:x

[Bazsmum]

I was actually thinking the same Liz! That way they will know fully what to expect and will not be put off if she is a little nervous! 

[JackSpratt]

Pav
When you first asked for opinions about fostering Millie I replied that I did not think she was right for you.

WELL how wrong I was, WELL DONE 

Ahh, but how good does it feel to be proven wrong? Pav, you've worked wonders with her.

 Thanks Ruth, just have to wait and see There is always the home check that Mayhew has to do first and if they approve we arrange viewing

Thankyou Rosella, she is such a sweet girl Still nervous with strangers but it takes time. Finger crossed she gets the right home.

Desley i am so pleased she doesn't have to go back to a pen but what worries me is when some one comes to see her and on the day she decides to stay out of site We just have to see how it goes and what is the best option!
As for going back still couple of months to sort out the flat and put it in the market and then see what happens but i am sure we speak before i leave
I hope Zia is doing well :hug:x

[Desley (booktigger)]

I am glad she is doing well, and that they will let her stay with you while a home is found. When are you going back home?

[Rosella moggy]

Aaw Pav.  Hope the move back home is something you are looking forward to.  Can't believe the progress you've made with Millie.  Well done!    Isn't she beautiful 

[Bazsmum]

Is there already some intrest in her Pav, just you saying you will get to meet the person who will adopt her? 

Im sending positive vibes so that if she has not got one then one will come along very soon! 

[pappilon]

Pav, you've done great with Millie and I can understand your concerns because there's never guarantees but I'm sure she will get a lovely home, lovely photos too 
  for you and little Millie xx

Thankx Janey. Its no guarantee but at least is comforting to know that Mayhew always takes the cat back if some thing goes wrong.I just have to be positive and wish for the best.x
Poor Boy was returned 3 times 

[Janeyk]

Pav, you've done great with Millie and I can understand your concerns because there's never guarantees but I'm sure she will get a lovely home, lovely photos too 
  for you and little Millie xx

[pappilon]

 Yes Christine is back to Iran x

Thanks Dawn, i am sure Mayhew will do their best and at least i will get to meet the person who adopts her and explain all her likes and dislikes
 
JS , i am the same. 

Thanks Gill. x

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

i understand now pav and am sure you are right 

[JackSpratt]

Oh Pav, that must be really difficult.  I'd make a terrible fosterer, the odd time I've helped a cat on Freecycle find a home and it's stayed here I've cried like a baby when they've gone to new homes.

[Dawn F]

Sorry to hear that your move back home means Millie can't stay with you - I'm sure the mayhew will do the very best they can for her after all the work you have put in

[Christine (Blip)]

i am moving back home  this year 

Back to Iran?  I didn't realise that.

i keep telling my self she will find a good home

I am sure she will but I can now understand what a wrench it will be 

[Bazsmum]

Mayhew? 

With ref to.....   

There are also 2 gorgeous Persian on Mayhew site looking for home x

[pappilon]

Aw Pav! 

Is your home SA too?   

No, home is where Persian cats come from       :hug:x

[Bazsmum]

Aw Pav! 

Is your home SA too?   

[pappilon]

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? 

With me  I wish but its not possible and yes Ruth(Bazmum) i'd love to have another cat or two but i am moving back home  this year  and it wont be fair on Millie to take her with me.
Its breaking my heart to see her go but i think is the best thing for her, i cried all night lasst night when i saw her on rehoming page but then i keep telling my self she will find a good home and this is the right thing.

[pappilon]

that description is just perfect except for one thing......why is a garden essential? 

Gill,it was me who told the rehoming officer i thought its important for Millie to have access to a garden, because i can see how much she loves the life out side by her reaction while sitting by window and not being able to go out atm i think she gets bored and that's why she sleeps all day, she goes to bed around 10am and some times like tonight she still hasn't been down(I have tried to play with her and keep her busy during the day but she is not interested!) Of course right now even if i leave the door open she wont go out cos she is scared of everything but i am sure she would love the out door life.
Also thats the reason i told them why i am not adopting her because where i am going , she wont be able to have access t out side and i dont think its fair on a young cat , i think we should give them the choice and if they dont want to then thats fine. I remember when i adopted Phoebe , Mayhew told me she was kept indoor all her life and they thought that was one of the reasons she was aggressive and i remember the first chance she got she went out to the back garden, didnt do much not chasing birds and runaway from Bees but she just loved to sit out and after a while she was calmer. x I might be wrong about this but thats how i feel.

Her description is good, love her cube pic so much thought I would nick it and put it on here! 

Your still not feeling ready for your own babe yet Pav are you......

Aww Thankx sweetheart Millie sez you are a star aunti Roof x

[Kittybabe (Ruth)]

It's a nice, gentle description, Pav, and describes her to a T.

As for neighbour..... well we know that unless the cat is adorable all the time she's not going to enjoy it so don't worry. It's not a loss.
