OK- end pf pondering from my daughter's side - they just called me, they are not keeping a kitten, they are just not in a position for a cat number 3 for many reasons, one of them being the b/f being allergic to cats anyway so.....

2 kitties ready to go together to their forever home from 23rd NOvember....

Will have some new pphotos later on today

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #42 on:** November 03, 2011, 18:09:47 PM »

8pm is absolutely fine! I can ponder for days if needs be, in no rush at all. What will be will be, I didn't have much intentions of rehoming any kitties until at least the new year but best laid plans and all that!

Anka · « **Reply #41 on:** November 03, 2011, 17:58:43 PM »

Told her to let me know by 8pm - you happy with 8pm end of pondering time?

Anka · « **Reply #40 on:** November 03, 2011, 17:57:16 PM »

Yup - that would be nice.......

I hope you and me are pondering the same.......

Told my daughter to make up her mind and finish those negotations by this evening as this is not getting anyone anywhere.

BUT she is the one who took Lucy in and looked/looked after the lot (they do nt live with me) I have to give her those few hours... sigh.....

She took it really badly when little Thomas died

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #39 on:** November 03, 2011, 17:49:06 PM »

Well, I am most definitely still pondering, so if we all just draw our ponderings to a conclusion at the same time................

Anka · « **Reply #38 on:** November 03, 2011, 17:45:39 PM »

OMG - just spoke to my daughter.. so you are not the only one pondering... she is STILL bugging her b/f to keep one...... they are thinking of the stipey one, the lighter colour one... sigh.....as he looks like the little Thomas who died

Anka · « **Reply #37 on:** November 03, 2011, 17:17:28 PM »

Oh.... still pondering then?

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #36 on:** November 03, 2011, 17:15:13 PM »

Hey I brought Chilli and Dave down form Scotland on the train! Although admittedly chauffeur driven would probably have been their preference...........

Sorry... just remembered something, completely off topic but pondering-thinking... LOL

Perhaps will make you laugh too....

Sheila - wohoooooooooooooooo, that would be lovely...

Was just trying to imagine Feline Costumier with 2 kittis in a basket from Leytonstone to Tooting....on the tube.....

I mean when she stops pondering that is... of course...

ermm ermmmm

Just to re-iterate, am happy to help with transport to get these babies into their furever home...

Oh, sory about Little Miss - she looks a lot like our Phoebe - one one of the photos with the kitties....

You keep on pondering then.... we are in East London, kitties ready on the 23rd November ...

Not sure you seen the little videos?

Forget the dog ones, just see the kitty ones - just learnt how to do it so going crazy with my "movies"

Haha! I think Lewisham is my nearest CH but it's a bit of a trek for vaccinations (I'm in Tooting). I should be able to afford it, some people just may get Christmas presents late..........

I did have three but Little Miss (the black and white little lady in my signature) went missing earlier this year

I'm still pondering...........

Where in London are you?

Do you have Celia Hammond anywhere near you?

They vaccinate for £20 per cat - they have a branch in Canning Town and Lewisham.....

2 kitties is nice, they keep each oter company little ones are are so much fun to watch....

I thought you have 3 or 4 cats already but if you ONLY have 2

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #25 on:** November 03, 2011, 14:50:16 PM »

Okay, let me ponder on it, I have the space, it's just whether it's entirely sensible to go from 2 to 4, although the two of them being able to keep each other company during intros is better........

But I also have to think about the budget for vaccinations as my two are due theirs too, so 4 at once is quite a lot.

Hmm. Decisions decisions.........

Anka · « **Reply #24 on:** November 03, 2011, 13:04:07 PM »

Bit of advice from more experienced fosterers-rehomers pls.

CH has offered to neuter Lucy for free and do Lucy's and kitties check up and worming and flea treatment for donation.

What would you feel the donation should be? I have absolutely no idea.

My daughter took carte of that little family for several weeks with great help from the MSE people who kindly ordered quite a lot of food either via durect sending it to us or sending us food vouchers which we used and put photos of what was bought for what money/voucher with receipts on Lucy's thread on MSE. So the cost as such was not great - cat litter, food top up and a lot of washing LOL BUt it would be very difficult to do it without help as I am out of work and have 3 cats and a large dog myself and my daughter has 2 cats and both she and her b/f are in quite low paid jobs.

So I am a bit worried about that donation bit to be honest.

We were offered some donation for the 3 kittes that are booked - this will go to Celia Hammond when I take Lucy for her spay and the kitties for worming/neutering on the 23rd.

Lucy's mum offered to cover Lucy's spay and microchip as she is taking Lucy on so Lucy is not a homeless cat any longer (Lucy will be chipped at the same time) but what do you feel the donatin for kitties should be?

I very much appreciate CH help and would like to leave them very much out of pocket as they are a charity but can not really contribute myself, neither can my daughter.

Any ideas?

It is 5 kitties that will be checked over, flea treated and wormed....

Thanks a lot.

Anka · « **Reply #23 on:** November 03, 2011, 12:40:05 PM »

Sheila - thanks a lot for changing the title...

Anka · « **Reply #22 on:** November 03, 2011, 12:39:23 PM »

Yes, they have to go together..

Bit of explanation to that - my daughter wanted to keep one but could not decide which one as she really likes both of them plus the b/f is tottaly against cat number 3 in their small privately rented flat and with his cat allergy and on their wages.

If only one was to go...

No, they have to go together I am afraid.... otherwise me and the poor b/f are in trouble...

They were handled from the day they were born, are very friendly and human oriented little mites but we really need them to go together to one house...

Besides - those 2 always "hang out" together for some reason. Weirs as the 3 that already have homes hang out together and the 2 that have not stick together too but separate from the other 3 - as if they know

Feline Costumier · « **Reply #21 on:** November 03, 2011, 11:01:39 AM »

So, um, these boys definitely have to go together.................?

sheilarose · « **Reply #20 on:** November 03, 2011, 07:03:32 AM »

Done.

Anka the photos are just adorable.

Anka · « **Reply #19 on:** November 02, 2011, 23:35:44 PM »

Sheila - when you pop in here, could you please change the title that we now have 2 kitties looking for home (together) and we are in east London please? Thanks a lot.

We are 90% sure those 2 are boys. They will be ready to go from 23rd November as this is when Lucy is getting spayed and is off to her new home and mum in her poshCabrio carrier

- they already eat solid kitty food and try to use the litter trays.... clever boys

The 2 that are looking for homes are:

Thanks Gill - had masses of emails from Lucy's new mum - she has ordered all she needs for Lucy already, including a posh cat carrier to collect her in, the lovely Cabrio, top opening one

Sheila - thank you so much for all your help and for keeping Lucy's and the babies info up to date.....

Whole Lucy's story can be found here - last 2 pages got very recent kitty photos :

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3533197

There is a lot of photos and videos on her thread on MSE if anyone wants to have a look.....

But all credit to my daughter, she has heard about Lucy and decided to take her on, she does all the work of looking after them - and she works full time and studies full time herself but between her and her b/f they decided to see this little family of kitties right to the very happy end. Lucy lives at my daughter;s and is being looked after there.

I am just the one over the net pulling resources and begging for help if we need it - and we had a lot of help and we are very grateful for it.

AS Sheila has mentioned, we have lost one of the babies yesterday morning, I guess it is just one of those things - he was born the smallest he was the last to open his little eyes and he was generally much weaker then the other 5 - my daughter rooh him to the vets late evening yesterday and he stayed there overnight but poor little mite died at 5 am...

I am sure our old cat Tiger who died last year (kidney cancer) is looking after litthe Thomas up there on the Rainbow Bridge

We have homes for 3 of the 5 kitties and for the little mum Lucy as Sheila mentioned - we are still looking for a lovely home for the remaining 2 little boys (we are 90% sure they are boys), they are both tabbies but with different markings.. photos attached

Shita - thanks a million again and thatnk to everyone visiting this thread and Lucy's thread on MSE - very much appreciated.

That's fab news, once her babies are old enough she'll be able to live the life of a kitten herself in her new home

So great to hear the news for Lucy.

Finally, some wonderful news - a home has been found for Lucy!

A lady who works from home has offered to take Lucy in when her kittens are ready. Thank goodness, her inner beauty shines through in the photos and the way she has cared for these beautiful kittens.

Now just the two remaining baby boys to find homes for. Still 4 weeks from ready but happily sampling kitty food

So very sad but all you can do is be thankful for the ones saved

sheilarose · « **Reply #5 on:** October 31, 2011, 19:54:34 PM »

Sad to report one of the kittens has died

Baby Thomas was tiny and not responding like the others. He was taken to Celia Hammond but passed away at 5am. It's thought he may have had heart trouble.

So Poor Anka and her wonderful daughter, who are wholly creditted with the rescue and care of this fabulous little family, are devastated today.

RIP Baby Thomas, play hard at the bridge, little guy.

Lucy now has five kittens to nurse and wean, just two tabby boy kittens yet to find homes. Ready from Nov 30th.

sheilarose · « **Reply #4 on:** October 23, 2011, 17:58:07 PM »

Mum (lucy) is wonderful, isn't she? So young herself...

Six chunky kittens from (we think) her first litter. The fab news is that Anka has got her spay booked with Celia Hammond, so Lucy will be ready to be homed with one of her boys.

Lucy was rescued as a stray, her pregnancy too far along to stop.

Bless you Anka (and your daughter) for taking these seven lives and making this alright for them.
