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  :hug: :hug:

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  :hug: :hug:

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. :Luv2: :Luv2:


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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Fingers crossed for the homecheck.

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 :shocked: .

Crazy..... :-:

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


It's lucky I like my vet isn't it :naughty: .  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. :Luv:
