all information received .... Bit miffed that this little one is actually going to Desborough, Kettering and NOT Northampton but we shall get him there

JackSpratt · « **Reply #39 on:** February 12, 2010, 16:15:52 PM »

Hurrah! Managed to get a picture sent directly to the couple via a mobile. This little boy is also off as planned.

Good work you guys! Have asked both new homes to join Purrs to update you all.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #38 on:** February 12, 2010, 15:38:44 PM »

I know. It would help if there had been communication properly beforehand I think.

Have spoken to the lady in Burnley and can not message her phone number. Sam, will message you the phone numbers for the Northampton couple because the Burnley lady is now contacting them herself directly....are you confused yet?

I'm so sorry guys, there's still a break down in communication on this one. As soon as I hear anything I'll post on here. Pumpkin, however is all set for her new home.

Thanks again.

Excellent. We just need to make sure the Northampton lady is okay having her cat on Saturday and that I can pick both of them up on Saturday morning!!!!

Have a wonderful birthday night out Sam.

Sam - that's fine

See you at Junction 15a Northampton service southbound around 4.30pm

I will bring a travelling basket with me for Pumpkin to go in, just in case people want the basket she comes in back. Will pm you my mobile etc

Have a great birthday

Yep that's fine we know those services at Donnington Sam so we'll meet you there

Excellen

....

Sent everyone a pm with my contact details. I'm going out tomorrow evening for my Birthday so won't be online

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #31 on:** February 11, 2010, 21:26:08 PM »

Saturday OK for me. I have a carrier that I could put the Northampton kitty in (I would then be able to drop him off and bring the carrier home with me. If pumpkin could go in a carrier that isn't too big then she can travel in the footwell of the passenger seat (I've only got a two seater car! LOL).

Janey if you pick up at Barnsley at 2 then I guess you'll be with me about 3'ish. I have had a bit of a think and it's probably easier if we meet at Donnington Park Services (J23a) ..... You will need to come off the motorway at J24 then take the A453 towards East Midlands Airport. I think it's the 4th exit off the motorway at J24. http://www.motorwayservices.info/area.php?area=13&show=map

Edd it'll take me about 1½ hours to get to you so I'm guessing an ETA of about 4:30 approx.

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #30 on:** February 11, 2010, 21:21:29 PM »

Hi

If Sam is OK to stop off at Junction 15a Northampton services to transfer pumpkin to me and then deliver this cat to its new home in Northampton afterwards, I can be at the transfer point at around 4pm.

Looks like we have a plan - well done everyone

Do we need sam to confirm that timings are ok with her?

So have I got this right:
Pickup - M1 Barnsley area (Jct 36 or 37) - Sootyca - arrive Barnsley 2pm approx
M1 Barnsley - M1 (Jct24) Nottingham - Janeyk - arrive Nottingham 3pm approx
Nottingham - Northampton Jct 15a Southbound- Sam (Fussyfurball) to transfer Pumpkin to Edd - arrive Northampton 4pm approx
Northampton - - Sam (fussyball) take this cat to new home

Sootyca · « **Reply #29 on:** February 11, 2010, 20:27:31 PM »

No problem for me, posted approx times on other thread. Edd just a bit concerned over the timing for the last leg.

Janeyk · « **Reply #28 on:** February 11, 2010, 19:48:29 PM »

No problem with us for Saturday but - can't meet at Barnsley junction until 2pm, is that ok?

Sootyca · « **Reply #27 on:** February 11, 2010, 19:31:29 PM »

Right, by my reckoning:

Pickup - M1 Barnsley area (Jct 36 or 37) - Sootyca - let me know which is easiest junction and where as I haven't a clue where anything is round there - I'm an M6 girl!
M1 Barnsley - M1 (Jct24) Nottingham - Janeyk
Nottingham - Northampton - Sam (Fussyfurball)

Sam will then take this one to his new home and meet up with Edd to get Pumpkin on her way for the final leg of the journey.

Easy this transport lark!

The only other thing to query is cat carriers....I only have one and it would need to come back with me. Is there any chance that the kitties would travel in their own carrier all the way and the carrier stay at the destination or do I need to go shopping for a cat carrier tomorrow and change them over enroute?

I would be *hoping* to have them both collected and be on the way by about 9am - this would get me to M1 about 10.30am all being well.

Are we okay for this Saturday? Have the current kitty fosterers and new kitty owners been checked with to make sure Saturday is okay for them?

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #26 on:** February 11, 2010, 16:21:24 PM »

That great Sam.

So would we be able to meet at J15a Northampton Services (Southbound) for me to collect Pumpkin?

Then all I need is the ETA for Northampton - It will take around 2 hours for me to get to Northampton.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #25 on:** February 11, 2010, 16:10:19 PM »

Oh Ok ... yeah that seems OK to me .... I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze two carriers in the front seat.

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #24 on:** February 11, 2010, 15:34:52 PM »

Hi Sam

The other cat is pumkin who is going to Banstead in surrey:
http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,30676.0.html

The suggestion made was to transport both cats - this one to its new home in Northampton and to meet up with me so I can take Pumpkin for the final leg to Banstead, Surrey.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #23 on:** February 11, 2010, 15:17:41 PM »

Are the two cats going to the same place? If so I should be able to get two carriers in the car .... one may have to go in the foot well

JackSpratt · « **Reply #22 on:** February 11, 2010, 14:50:25 PM »

Edd's just pointed out that people on here might not know two cats are part of this transport run and I've just realised this might make a difference to the situation for Sam.

If so, could there be two transport runs? Or will that be too costly for people? (I do understand that it's not cheap to run a car.

)

JackSpratt · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2010, 14:28:11 PM »

Am waiting for the Northampton address.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2010, 13:23:56 PM »

I'll need the house number, postcode and telephone number for Northampton please (so sat nav can find it's way). And phone number and ETA from whoever is coming to Nottingham.

I suggest that whoever is coming to Nottingham comes off the Motorway at J24 then takes 2nd exit off the roundabout (A6 to Loughborough) and there is a layby about 100yrds from the exit that we can meet in.

Janeyk · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2010, 13:18:46 PM »

So do you want us to do the J36/37 to Nottingham?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2010, 13:15:01 PM »

So who needs the beginning and end contact numbers?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2010, 13:02:41 PM »

I am sending you such big hugs, Lady!

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #16 on:** February 11, 2010, 12:58:09 PM »

Sorry I missed this before now .... I can do Nottingham to Northampton. Please let me have the details.

I can meet you at J24 of the M1

JackSpratt · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2010, 12:49:06 PM »

Will do a request on Facebook.

Sootyca · « **Reply #14 on:** February 11, 2010, 08:11:16 AM »

I'd prefer not to do it all (it's a 6 hour round trip!) but if there is no other option then I will do.

Can someone check that both cats will be okay to travel this Saturday?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #13 on:** February 10, 2010, 12:39:39 PM »

So Sootyca, you'd fill in the last bit? That's wonderful. The contact details for Pumpkin I can pass on, but am having trouble getting hold of the info for this little one.

The newest update is that it is in fact a male, too! He was locked in a garage and is around 15 months.

Sootyca · « **Reply #12 on:** February 09, 2010, 12:19:34 PM »

If no-one else can do either M6-Northampton or Nottingham-Norhtampton I will do the full run to Northampton as it will only add an extra 30 minutes onto the journey each way. Moira usually helps out in this area but I know she posted yesterday that she had had a stressful time recently so don't really want to bother her.

Janeyk · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2010, 10:26:44 AM »

If we can get someone to do Nottingham onwards then that should cover it but need to know which day as we've got someone coming on Saturday so will get them to change the day if need be but need to know asap please.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2010, 10:16:33 AM »

You guys are AMAZING!

I shall get the contact number for the the people currently caring for little girl and pass it on to Sootyca. Who do I need the Northampton number for?

Whereabouts on the M1 are you? It's the easy route to do the M65/M6/M1 to Northampton but can always change it.

OH says that is the quicker route too but if no one else can do part of that route then we could meet you at Barnsley J36 or J37 and go to Nottingham (I think this route would mean you won't have to go as far as the other one too) but then just needs someone to do last leg from Nottingham to Northampton?

Janeyk · « **Reply #7 on:** February 08, 2010, 22:21:20 PM »

Sootyca if you're going down the M6 you're actually bypassing us as we would be going M1

Sootyca · « **Reply #6 on:** February 08, 2010, 22:15:42 PM »

Depends on what Janeyk can do.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #5 on:** February 08, 2010, 13:49:04 PM »

So how much more distance needs covering?

JackSpratt · « **Reply #4 on:** February 05, 2010, 21:38:56 PM »

Thanks guys.

Sootyca · « **Reply #3 on:** February 05, 2010, 19:35:16 PM »

Burnley is easy for me to do a pickup and take to M6 corridor somewhere. From there it will be best to go down M6 and M1 to Northampton.

Would have to be a weekend for me - well, next weekend really as I am away the following weekend and it's a bit quick this weekend.

Janeyk · « **Reply #2 on:** February 05, 2010, 19:24:29 PM »

We could probably help - depending when it is

JackSpratt · « **Reply #1 on:** February 05, 2010, 19:11:14 PM »

For one of Nickys cats to go to the same people who took on Sam and Tom. (RIP) I'm informed that it's a little black female who needs to get to her new home.
