Great news and well done !

I can imagine how emotional you must have felt

I'll move this to the sorted section now but it would be lovely to receive updates in the Cats Stories section, either from the new owners or yourself

UPDATE . Mr And Mrs Beautiful have gone to their new home now

I cried like an baby , but i'm really pleased for them

Bye bye Mr and Mrs Beautiful , i love you both very much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

how lovely that you are sending them to such a good home

valeriewhiteside · « **Reply #90 on:** November 20, 2011, 12:00:32 PM »

Well the new owners have just dropped off the carrier and are going to lunch to give me time to say my goodbyes

We arranged it that way as i thought it would be too scary for Mr & Mrs Beuatiful to have us all there ....

i'm excited for them , the couple seem to be very excited and have bought my beauties loads of things, a carrier, bed, blankets, toys, brushes, food , scratching post ...

I don't think i could have found them anywhere better to go really

Oh Valerie. They will be the happiest kitties in the whole wide world, no more cages, no more uncertainty just

Don't feel bad, feel good, you've saved them and there should be no better feeling.

Get a bottle of wine in for Sunday so you can toast their good fortune (and drown your sorrows).

Don't you think this has shown that you have a talent for this? NEXT!

Haaaaaaaah !

Actually , i am considering taking some more , there are some more poor babies at my vets again

Thanks for your kind words

The good news just keeps on coming Think this just about sums it up >>>

Am so pleased for them both, massive pat on the back Valerie as without you they'd probably still be stuck in a teeny vet pen

Can you make sure Mr & Mrs Beautifuls' new Mum & Dad sign the contract (in blood) to keep you updated and/or join Purrs to let us know how they're getting on

& for Teresa too for introducing them to you and doing the homecheck

Thanks

Most credit must go to Teresa really ......Teresa ....

but i like to think i played a small part

I will most certainly be getting updates

Cant wait to see pics of them in their new home

Absolutely fantastic news

Are they booked in for the tests Valerie? Do you know how long the results take to come back?

Questions, questions, questions

I'm going to phone the vet today , thought it best to wait for the result of the home check first .

I'm not sure how long they take , hopefully, not long !!

I'll really miss my Mr & Mrs Beautiful !

That's really good news. Hope the tests go ok.

Do people usually worry about cats having diseases? I must admit it's never something I've thought or asked about when getting cats.

If I'm bringing in strays I will test them for FeLV. The natures of the boys I adopt demands this as they've been in high risk environments. I would suggest anyone adopting ex-strays asks for this test to be done. Some rescues will have their vets test strays routinely when the cat is being neutered, depends on the vet and the cats' risk factors.

Most introductions to homes where cats already reside are made gradually, so there is usually plenty of time to get the test done before they meet face to face.

If the cat being adopted has a vaccination history against FeLV, or has been indoors, I wouldn't bother as the chances are minimal.

I can't believe they took so long to decide though

At the risk of overusing this icon for the homecheck and the bloodtests!

If everything goes according to plan maybe you could slip them the web address of Purrs as it would be lovely to have updates

I'm going to use it too

Oh yes, i already have

I so hope it goes well !!!

Janeyk · « **Reply #66 on:** November 13, 2011, 20:50:35 PM »

That's lovely news, fingers crossed all goes to plan. I'll leave the thread in this section until you confirm their collection.

I can imagine you'll miss them so much when that does happen

Gosh they really are serious then

Do the cats have a vaccination history already? This may help to convince them.

The test they would be wise to ask for is the Feline Leukemia Virus tests (FeLV).

They may also be averse to taking FIV+ cats too.

There is much fear surrounding both these viruses, and you need to know what the differences are, and the reliability of the tests for each, as false positives and negatives are common. FIV is not the death sentence many people believe it to be and ignorance has lead to the unnecessary demise of thousands of beautiful, healthy cats. FeLV however is serious, highly contagious and potentially lethal.

As for them paying for the tests, ask your vet beforehand how much the cost will be. The couple could write a cheque made payable to the vet to cover the fee, perhaps. That way everyone is sticking to the agreement.
In any case, ask your vet for a copy of the results, if they choose not to take them, you will have these for the next potential owner.

The secondary tests take a few days to complete as they are sent to Glasgow for testing. In healthy cats with limited risk (i.e.indoor cats) this would usually only be required if a positive result is found (that may be a false positive). You will get the results of the primary (ELISA) tests back within 24 hours, as these are usually performed in the vets own premises.

Please check out the Catwork site here for more information. They have been looking after FIV and FeLV cats for years and know the realities of these diseases and the effect bad information out there has had.

no vaccination history , in fact , no history at all unfortunately

Thank you so much for the information , this is what i advised the couple too so i am glad i was correct

They did make it clear that the they would not want to take them if the tests turned anything up and also , that they would be allowed out so

the tests will all be negative

good idea re getting a copy of the results and a cheque sent direct !

It has just occured to me though , if the tests show up anything ...... they're not going to want the cats and i suppose they cant be expected to pay for the tests ........

I didn't really anticipate these problems, just went with my heart when i met these two .

My vet said she will test at cost price , maybe i need to think about saving up and paying for it myself

surely they'd be more appealing then ?

Sounds promising, STILL

Did you get the feeling that they liked each other? How did Mr & Mrs Beautiful interact with them? When will they let you know for definite (pending clear blood test results)?

Sorry for all the Q's but these two have stolen my heart!

Hi

I like the questions, it's wonderful that people are so supportive

The husband wanted to see how Mr Beautiful would react to being picked up , i was not keen but then thought that if Mr Beautiful didn't like it , and it put the couple off , then they are not right for him anyway . The husband picked him up and Mr Beautiful allowed it and seemed to enjoy it

After that , he seemed to come out of himself a lot and allowed a lot of fussing that really surprised me

I was so proud of how brave he was and i kissed him lots and told him his mummy loves him

They will let me know for definite either this evening or tomorrow

Mrs Beautiful was very pleased to have more fuss and was purring very loud

She didn't come down from her high place though but that is understandable of course

they are beautifully natured cats , so my cup of tea , i love them both

Teresa at Paws Inn has very generously offered to home check so i will be guided by her (if the couple want them) . If Teresa doesnt think they're suitable , then they will stay here until the right person comes along
