Only just caught up with this - so pleased Tina is safe and sound, well done to all

This is so very upsetting and heart warming of course. I so feel for this poor girl

and am so glad for the help she has had.

I so wish the ABs sort her out quickly and she is able to forget the terrible things she has had to endure until now.

Wishing this little one a speedy recovery and if she is this loving while not feeling too well jut imagine what a little Love Bug she is going to be when she is all better

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #116 on:** November 05, 2009, 21:29:02 PM »

Yes you are right she has gone from hell to heaven and think she has just discovered this and hopefully the abs will make her feel so much better very quickly

bonnielass · « **Reply #115 on:** November 05, 2009, 21:24:10 PM »

Whatever it was that inflicted these horrible bites on her is now history thank goodness

She hopefully now will go on to gain some weight and become a pampered furball with some-one who will cherish her

Im sure under Moira,s care she will soon blossom

Starpixie · « **Reply #114 on:** November 05, 2009, 21:19:27 PM »

Poor little one, sounds like she has had a really rough time

So glad she has somewhere safe and warm and lots of loving care :D

or shared a shed or outbuilding somewhere where rats were living

but she is safe now, and nothing like that will happen to her again

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #112 on:** November 05, 2009, 21:11:17 PM »

I didnt think of that and she would have been lying out side asleep probably.....how terrible and every one is on her tail end and the one on her tail is a great big chunck out but her tail is Ok and she can feel it the vet says.

Makes my heart ache to think what she has been through outside on her own and still she stayed friendly and loveable.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #111 on:** November 05, 2009, 21:08:14 PM »

I wonder if they are rat bites, Gill

they will often go for weakened animals

UPDATE ON TINA

Have just been speaking to Moira who has been to the vets with Tina and she is badly bitten all over her backside, numerous bits plus the one on her tail. She is in a lot of pain and the vet could not fully examine her even and Tina was lashing out and trying to bite, just to ptrotect herself.

She has been given an antibiotic jab and will go back to see the vet next week.

She is now out of her carrier and has been on Moiras lap and sitting on the window sill watchinng the world go by and is back to her happy friendly little purry self again.

She is in isolation at present.

The vet thinks she is 1-2 years old! I think thats she is hard pushed to be one but agree that she has very long legs and body but she has a very tiny head....this may mean she is neutered of course. She has no chip.

Being where Sue lives have to think that she has been attacked maybe by a fox or other wild animal cos these are not the usual injuries to get from a cat. Some of these bites are older, and some are newer so she has been attacked more than once over a period of time

The good news is that she is settling down at Moiras and is just a wonderful little lapcat.

Vacinations and Fiv test will not happen until the bites have cleared up and any infection has gone.

Moira is hoping to put some pictures on tomorrow once her sons camera has charged.

So I wish Tina lots of good wishes and hope the pain goes away quick and she starts to put on some weight.

I am so so happy for this special little girl - when I got up this morning my furbabies were all cosy and warm and cuddled up, I had my morning snuggles with them and thought to myself Thank goodness that little Tina is warm and safe too.

I hope the vet visit went okay this evening Moira xxx

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #108 on:** November 05, 2009, 19:27:34 PM »

I am hoping that she comes out of her carrier too cos she was all over the place outside Sues, although as soon as she was inside she found a warm nesting place abd curled up in it

Starpixie · « **Reply #107 on:** November 05, 2009, 19:24:44 PM »

Hope the vet appoinment goes ok
It's not uncommon for a kitty to not poop or pee for 24-48hrs after a stressful move. Some kitties just want to hide. I'm sure she'll be out using the tray soon

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #106 on:** November 05, 2009, 19:13:59 PM »

me too and am waiting anxiously

bonnielass · « **Reply #105 on:** November 05, 2009, 18:58:39 PM »

Hope everything has gone well at the vets tonight with Tina and that she is okay

aww im glad Tina is now safe

last night the weather here was terrible here so she is indoors not a moment too soon.

Yes, especially with tonight being bonfire night as well. Well done to all concerned, Gill, Moira and Sue, and I hope all goes well at the vet this evening.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #101 on:** November 05, 2009, 11:38:45 AM »

She is an utter beauty.

Good luck at the vets with her, Moira.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #100 on:** November 05, 2009, 11:34:12 AM »

i hope everything goes ok at the vets moira and this must be such a change for her from roaming outside,

yes she was limping slightly when i picked her up and sue said much more yesterday morning,

i wonder if she has a bite some where near the tail that is hard to see. i know sasa was bitten at the back top of one of her legs and could hardly walk and vet couldnt see it until he sedated her cos she is semi feral.

maybe the tail wound is from a fight?

i am sure the carrier has became her warm safe home because she made no effort to leave mine when the door was open, just woofed the biscuits and stretched out like in heaven

last night the weather here was terrible here so she is indoors not a moment too soon.

Well done all, I'm really pleased the little one has somewhere safe and warm, she's a lovely little thing

Hope that the vet visit goes well Moira and I'm sure she'll go to loo in time

Shirley · « **Reply #98 on:** November 05, 2009, 10:40:23 AM »

Fingers crossed all will be ok at the vets, Moira.
My Ollie was bitten by a rat a couple of weeks ago and had to be kept in for 24 hrs-he NEVER uses his litter tray, and didn't do anything at all for nearly 48 hrs, from the original bite to when i let him out. I think he's just so used to doing his 'business' outside-maybe that's the same for Tina?

moira · « **Reply #97 on:** November 05, 2009, 10:00:30 AM »

Have just made appointment with my vet for 6:10pm tonight. She will have general check up and specifically I will get him to look at her injury. I will also have her first vaccination done and also blood test for FIV/FeL (I will ask for Glasgow test). Will also ask them to scan for microchip. I think thats probably enough for her to deal with in one go, poor thing

She doesn't want to leave her carrier at the moment so I have left it in the front room. However, when I reached in to stroke her this morning she started purring and came out and ate some breakfast, but then went back in. I guess it is her sanctuary. She was very quiet but I think she is probably exhausted after the long journey. I thought I detected a slight limp to her hind leg but it might just have been that she was stiff after being in the carrier.

I was a bit puzzled/worried that she had not pood or peed either in the litter tray or elsewhere in the room. Also, there were no accidents on the journey up. She did have a little to drink yesterday and has also eatten a bit.

I'll post this evening after the vet.

bonnielass · « **Reply #96 on:** November 05, 2009, 06:17:56 AM »

Im so glad you managed to sort her out Gill and that her injury wasnt as bad as thought

Well done for helping this little one so quickly

Moira thanks also to you for taking her in

She looks adorable and im sure you will soon have her in tip top condition

Shirley · « **Reply #95 on:** November 05, 2009, 03:40:16 AM »

What a brilliant outcome for Tina-she is a little sweetheart. Thank goodness for people like Gill and Moira. Tina will now be warm and dry and cuddled-just what she wanted! Wonderful news!Well done both of you xx

It is Trigger it is and she slept well too and did in Moiras car and she was suckling the edge of the blanket and purring.......so sweet

She is going to make someone a stunning pet and hope they will love her for ever

moira · « **Reply #90 on:** November 04, 2009, 23:41:29 PM »

We arrived home safe and sound half an hour ago. I have just got my lot sorted for the night and am about to give Tina her supper (chicken breast). As Gill says, she is adorable. Very sweet nature. Lots of purrs. She will stay in my front room on her own tonight as it is too late to make introductions. She hasn't come out of the carrier yet although she did come out and sit on my lap in the car when I stopped for a break (I couldn't resist giving her a cuddle

) She was quite happy to go back in the carrier and slept all the way home.

She is painfully thin but will be stunning when she has a bit more meat on her bones.

I will try to post some pics tomorrow or Friday.

Many thanks to Gill and everyone who has offered help. We can't save them all, unfortunately, but this is one little one who wont be spending tonight alone, cold and hungry.

Awww, what a little sweetie! So glad she is safe and warm tonight. Well done Gill and Moira and anyone else involved.

Now go and have a rest Gill!!!

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #88 on:** November 04, 2009, 23:25:57 PM »

ah bless her - she looks as if that carrier is the most comfortable bed she's had for some time

well done on snatching this little beauty off the nasty Welsh mountains - and given the weather today and to come it was high time she was off them

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #87 on:** November 04, 2009, 23:21:58 PM »

Here are Tinas introductory photos.....she is very small as you can see by the carrier size....but she is soooooo sweet and worth a second chance

What fantastic news - I can go to bed now I know that the little one is safe and warm tonight.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #82 on:** November 04, 2009, 23:02:15 PM »

Hi all

I am just back from transferring Tina to Moira

WE made a hurried Plan B at lunchtime , which was to immediately transport her if I thoughtv she was fit to travel.

She has a small chunk out of her tail right near her bittom on the right side and a chunk of fur missing......she had eiither caught it on something or was bittne. It was raw but not bleeding and not infected and Moira is going to take her to the vets tomorrow.

She is an absolute little darling and was an angel in the car. She is about 6/7 months old at a guess and so friendly and she came rushing to Sue as she drove in and then to me and straight into the house to curl up in the consevatory.

Sue said that she was a lot worse this morning and her eyes were not good but I think that was from the cold over night and the shock of what everr had happened to her.

She is very thin and very hungry and had a bit of chicken from a sandwich in the car and also some TechniCal biscuits.

I would have loved to have had her myself cos have never had such a loving cat since Kocka went to the Bridge........I would be totally useless in rescue LOL

I have taken some picture s of her and will put them on here later.

Despite everything I have said about Sue, I know she cared a lot about this little cat in her way but thats not our way and she doesnt know much about cats. She told ne she was going to keep Tina in the garage tonight if I was collecting her tomorrow but we have done better than that and she should be in her first warm all night house for the fisrt time for ages.

I am sure I havent personnally thanked everyone who offered help but will try to catch up tomorrow.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who offered any kind of help and how much it was appreciated. Purrs peeps are amazing and certainly Tinas little life has been saved, cos I dont think she would have lasted too much longer, especially with the tail injury that probably would have become infected.

Stacey I havent forgotten about your cat and although as you will see ** they are two of a kind, this little one was much too young to have been your Tigger, I am so sorry it couldnt have been your cat

** pictures coming later

I keep checking for news of this little one - I have got everything crossed that the news is good - poor little mite must be wondering what she ever did wrong to be treated this way. What really broke my heart was when Gill said she kept rushing into the house - FFS she couldnt have asked any clearer for some love and compassion and all she got was the door shut on her.

Thats exactly what i think too - absolutely disgusting behaviour - maybe one day some one will do the same to them - how you can turn your back on a poor cat/kitten like that i have no idea

The one in my cat house isn''t going home now - apparantly they now also have a boisturous dog that some of the cats don''t like.
I have sorted out a vet visit for him tomorrow and it looks like he is going to be an extra addition here now ! I couldn''t just ignore him !!!!

bonnielass · « **Reply #80 on:** November 04, 2009, 21:10:40 PM »

Just got home from work to find this worring news about this little girl, i do hope she is okay
