Oh sssssh apologising woman!

Just remember you can help with the battle but can't win the war. Sometimes you will HAVE to say no. For you own health and welfare please stay within your limits!

You know we think you are a star xxxx

Wonderful, the world cant affford to lose a rescue and way back I said dont act on the rebound and so glad a tortie brought you back

As you may have read another member is now fighting the RSPCA to save an FIV cat who was taken from her vets.

I think all Purrs members should be ready to put their considerable weight behind this and hope if the crunch happens you will add your verbal surport in honour of Trooper

its a life sentence I'm afraid!

Welcome back - glad you had a rest.

Don't know what went on but it really doesn't matter.

Life sentence of hard labour.

It seems in the world of rescue you are never supposed to "give up".

Despite deleting my website and removing my phone number from as many places as I can, they still track you down.

Eight Lives Left Kitten Rescue has been reinstated by the PDSA in Portsmouth who have asked me to take on a 6 week tortie female. She was handed in as a stray, bleeding from the nose and thought to be hit by a car. Following xrays, she seems to be physically okay but a little grumpy so not sure if she is a feral.

They have tried everywhere but nowhere will take her so I have been "forced" out of retirement!!

I feel bad still about Trooper and extremely p***ed off with the RS***, who I will have no more to do with, but it seems the cats still need me.

I'm sorry to mess everyone around on here - I truly did mean it when I said I couldn't carry on, but it's amazing what a couple of weeks of no phone calls and a bit of time to yourself can do to revitalise the mind and body.

Will post piccies of tortie girl who has brought this resurrection about when I pick her up tomorrow (am having a very rare trip to the piccies tonight to see the new Senna film).

Take care of yourself and your cats Lesley. I will be in touch soon.

Awww lesley lots of love to you. You have done so much and need to hold on to that thought. Hope you stay online here as you made me very welcome when I joined here xxx

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #398 on:** May 21, 2011, 18:51:08 PM »

As I said on the other thread, you've done so much for so many - time to concentrate on you now

I hope you will be able to enjoy Purrs still and pass on the valuable knowldege you gained over so many years to others

Kirst · « **Reply #397 on:** May 21, 2011, 17:32:50 PM »

Of course I completely respect your decision which I know was not made lightly. All the best for the future. xxx

Lesley - I dont know what to say other than to give you lots of these

and to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kittens and cats you have rescued and cared for

clarenmax · « **Reply #393 on:** May 21, 2011, 16:17:46 PM »

Lesley so sorry to hear you've taken this decision, but at the same time completely respect it

You've done so much, and as others have said, its been such a heavy emotional burden as well as everything else

xxx

LesleyW · « **Reply #392 on:** May 21, 2011, 16:09:34 PM »

THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE OVER THE YEARS THAT HAS SUPPORTED EIGHT LIVES LEFT KITTEN RESCUE. YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WONDERFUL AND HELPED MANY CATS, WHO WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT YOU.

I REGRET THAT I HAVE NOW CALLED IT A DAY AND EIGHT LIVES IS NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE. ANY CATS HERE WILL BE LOOKED AFTER BY ME AND IF, BY CHANCE, SOMEONE ROUND HERE IS AFTER A CAT I WILL RE-HOME WITHOUT ANY COSTS, BUT ONLY IF I THINK IT IS RIGHT.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #391 on:** May 20, 2011, 09:37:00 AM »

Completely respect whatever decision you make, Lesley. Your poor emotions have taken a heavy battering and there's only so many times you can cope with that. Hope you're coping.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #390 on:** May 19, 2011, 17:02:34 PM »

LesleyW · « **Reply #389 on:** May 18, 2011, 21:11:00 PM »

No. this is it, I'm not doing it anymore.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #388 on:** May 18, 2011, 18:28:16 PM »

Take time Lesley. dont rush decisions when your emotions are high

LesleyW · « **Reply #387 on:** May 18, 2011, 18:03:27 PM »

I'd just like to say thank you everyone for your support, both financial and emotional, but unfortunately, as happens many times as we know here the RSPCA have got their way and Trooper will be going to them tomorrow.

I am afraid this is the last straw for me and I am giving this rescue lark up completely.

Trooper's website has been deleted, Eight Lives website has been deleted and I am giving up on all of this.

I am not going through this again.

nickynoo93 · « **Reply #386 on:** May 13, 2011, 17:12:34 PM »

Shame, but hopefully he has a nice new home to get spoilt in.

I still intend adding to the furry family once we are settled, expect Pete will try and wriggle out of it.lol But he did promise, and even said I could have 2 if I wanted, anything to shut me up at the time I think.

LesleyW · « **Reply #385 on:** May 12, 2011, 20:32:40 PM »

Big tabby has been found a home with one of the nurses ex-boyfriends

. Really I am happy for him but he was such a lush boy I know Mike would have loved him and he was already giving in.

nickynoo93 · « **Reply #384 on:** May 12, 2011, 17:14:30 PM »

We'll need some photos of the big Tabby. You know Mike will let you bring him home.

Fingers crossed for the homecheck.

Jiji · « **Reply #383 on:** May 12, 2011, 11:37:30 AM »

So that's two out and one in then

Dawn F · « **Reply #382 on:** May 12, 2011, 11:01:39 AM »

glad you are managing a bit of rehoming - won't comment on the tabbie lol!!

LesleyW · « **Reply #381 on:** May 12, 2011, 11:00:01 AM »

Glad to report that Storm and Hemmingway were chosen for their new home and following a homecheck at the weekend should be off on Tuesday. They will be sadly missed here, two special cats - Storm was raised from a kitten of about five days and Hemmingway has his lovely big feet but a new home will be good for them I hope.

Have a stray at work looking for a home and although lots of people have said they will take him, he is still in after a week. Finally succumbed and visited him yesterday and he is the most loveable, large (6.8kkg) tabby lap cat I have ever met. All he wants you to do is sit down so he can sit on you and then he doesn't want to move.

Luckily Mike's favourites are tabbies so if he is still ther tomorrow when Mike meets me at work after coming home from London I will have to inrdocue him - have already made tentative suggestions.

Great to see some updates about your clan Lesley, is Emily the gorgeous white girl that I've met? So glad she's found a new home

Cleo obviously knows where she wants to be, I remember her coming back the first time. She's such a lovely cat, I remember meeting her when she was a baby

Love your description of Hemingway, might need a piccy of those lovely poly feet!

Yes, that's right Emily is my lovely white girl.

Cleo seems settled and happy to be back, cheeky girl that she is.

Ahhhh! You called a polydactyl Hemingway. I always said if one joined our family that's what they'd be called.

My vet asked why he was called Hemingway - he had never heard of the Hemingway cats .

Crazy.....

How very dare the vet call Squirrel 'deformed', I prefer special

It's lucky I like my vet isn't it

. Funnily enough he didn't comment on Hemmingway who was in on the same day and he is polydactyl, looks like he's wearing clown boots.

nickynoo93 · « **Reply #374 on:** May 10, 2011, 09:26:07 AM »

Cleo loves her mummy and wants to stay with you. Hope the rehoming continues to get better for you.

I will try and come and see you soon, been busy with family.

Poppy and Charlie send their love. xx

Lesley - thanks for the update.

Sounds like Cleo knows where she wants her forever home to be - bless her - she chose you from the start.

Hoping Emily settles in well after waiting such a long time and homing goes well tomorrow.
And special hugs to you and Squirrel and Persia.

Sounds like Angie has been a bit of star

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #372 on:** May 09, 2011, 23:23:36 PM »

Cleo has chosen her home and she loves you to pieces so thats that

Hope the others find homes and settle well
