Hope it went well  ;D

I used to play netball in that area for Northwood who were based in Northwood Hills, quite a long time ago now.

Well, tonight is the night, I'm going over to the rescue after work.  The homing event starts from 6pm but I'm going to get there a little earlier so I can take in some of their processes and have a decent chat with them before the lovely peeps looking for a furbaby arrive.

Plus, I get to meet Daisymac tonight as she's coming along to check them out too.... I can't wait!!

Fingers crossed you enjoy it, I am proof that you can do a lot of voluntary work and not have high numbers of cats - I am sort of at 3, but 2 out of the three wouldnt be with me through choice!! I do deliberately keep my numbers down to have the space and time to foster more cats, as I Can ultimately help more cats that way, and I still get my kitty fix

It's Cat and Kiitten Rescue.  They don't have a website (to my knowledge) but have a page on catchat.  If you look in Bucks, they're the top one.  They have bases in Watford, Amersham, Harpenden, Harrow, Uxbridge, Borehamwood, Buckingham, Hemel, Houghton Regis, Kentish Town, Caddlington and Chesham.

I've offered to help in Amersham as that's the closest one to us.

I will probably be up for it,  I will contact you early in the week xxxx

Well, I bit the bullet and emailed them last night.  I've had response this afternoon inviting me over to a homing event in Amersham on Thursday evening from 6pm so I can get to see their set-up and what happens at the events.  I've already seen a bit of the unit they're "borrowing" over there as that's where we went to meet Spot but ended up coming home with Samson :evillaugh:

Apparently they're holding the homing events weekly at the moment so this could definately be a regular thing.

DM, if you're free and fancy coming along let me know.  I'm sure it won't be an issue with the rescue.  They seem desperate for help!

Really going to have to try hard to resist starting a collection, Hubby has already warned me off a gorgeous little kitten I saw on their catchat page last night :Luv2:
What rescue is it Sam ?

Am sure they'd be very grateful of the help  :) Definitely a slippery slope to acquiring a football team though  :evillaugh:

Football team ??,  me,  never !!   :rofl: 
Steve has them in pre-season training at the moment,  the new addition used to play for Paws Inn but we transferred him for an undisclosed sum,  he is now part of Barwood United.

Let me know about what they are up to as a Rescue,  I wouldnt mind helping out either,  I am so close to you so maybe we could do things together,  I am a confident driver so dont mind doing the driving bit  :hug:

Even though we now have the furbaby of our dreams  :Luv2: I do keep popping back to look at the rescue's website to see what little bundles of joy they have at the moment and to see whether any of the puds who were there at the same time as Samson have been rehomed yet.

Tonight I've seen a notice on there asking for people in Bucks/Beds/ Herts/Middx areas to help with their homing events.

Now that I've finished my college course and have decided against doing the MA at uni this year, I am sorely tempted to help them out.

I'm not a confident driver so wouldn't really want to do the ferrying about jobs however I'm more than happy to rack up to assist with setting up the homing events, help our during and cleaning up after etc.

Silly question but do you think I should offer my help or would this be the beginning of the slippery slope into acquiring a football team to play against Daisymac's???  ;)
