Wow! hasn't she grown

I know cats are expected to grow but seems such a shock when you have visions of a tiny young kitten still and turns out she's morphed into a beautiful young lady

Stunning, Pav. She's a credit to you. She'd make a lovely girlfriend for Tufty.

Thank you both

Watching her yesterday so happy chasing poor Bertie up the tree and runing back and forward made me think i have made the right decision, i hope

Just added her pic when she stoped to catch her breath.
Sorry for the state of the wall, have to clean them this weekend neighbours dont bother

Hoping you're both OK, Pav. That was an unsettling experience for you and not an easy decision by any means.

Sending for you and Felicity.

Aww thank you Sheila

It was, every thing happened so fast and i was trying so hard to do the right thing .
I so hope you manage to help Sooty, he sounds gorgeous and in need of some TLC

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #49 on:** May 24, 2013, 23:39:15 PM »

Pav

The rescues will be so grateful for the items

I do hope you can make regular visits back

Should think you feel a bit of a weight off your mind as you have been through a rough time

sheilarose · « **Reply #48 on:** May 24, 2013, 20:30:14 PM »

It's never about me, Mary, always the welfare of the animal, and if this means looking after a person too then it is what it is.

I have to consider my brood too, and I'll only ever volunteer a space if I think it will enhance our household, or at least not affect us adversely. It's a fine judgement call and so far I've been lucky.

Felicity would be fine here, she's timid with strange people but likes other cats, and needs access to the outdoors, so she would have been more than happy to integrate into The Club, as this is exactly whats on offer here. I would judge any potential rescue/rehome in the same way.

BUT then there's OH, and his determination to rescue every single stray cat in London, regardless of the impact on our equilibrium.

I thought I was the mad cat person, it appears we're more closely matched than I knew.

maryas · « **Reply #47 on:** May 24, 2013, 19:52:02 PM »

Sheila, you do realise that everyone at Purrs is gonna be on your doorstep when we have any probs now

So you'd better let Sly and the gang know there will be a massive cat party

Mary

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #46 on:** May 24, 2013, 18:43:48 PM »

That about sums it up ..................

Two fabulous, kind, warm, generous, women and a beautiful, completely oblivious, furry gal

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #45 on:** May 24, 2013, 18:20:42 PM »

Its never just a cat or just an animal as all of us on Purrs knows.

Yes time to look forward more than back and donating the cages and stuff a great idea, well done Pav and a gentle stroke to Felicity from me

pappilon · « **Reply #44 on:** May 24, 2013, 17:45:27 PM »

Thank you Gill, exactly my thought last night how do people manage to just rehome specially to strangers
I felt so lucky and fortunate knowing Felicity is going to Sheila . I do understand some times people dont have much choice it cost so much to transport to abroad and what choice you have if you cant offord it but some people just dont care and as you said cant get rid of the poor animal

Yes i am staying with Felicity and no not getting the stuff back here they have been in the boxes for 3 years now and not sure what the condition would be like but one good thing is that i found out from Alison about the cat and dog rescue in Tehran and on my next visit i can donate the trap and crush cage and carriers i sent to try and help the cats where my brother has a place by the sea to the rescues in Tehran and ask if they could help with TNR as the poor cats having a rough time .

Mary sadly lots of people do thats what i hear from one neighbour most times saying pav its just an animal

Sheila Thank you

Emmmylou you are so right and thankyou

Helen Thanks i am going to change one or two things and try not to live so much in the past and just be grateful for what i have

Yes Sheila is been very generous, she doesnt know me but she was happy to open her home and heart to me and Felicity. Oh god i have tears in my eyes now i just cant cry anymore i look like some one has punched me in the face, eyes red and swollen but smilled all day as i managed to make a decision right or wrong i will know one day.
Big hug to every one

If this had been what was needed for you to make your mind up, then that can only be a good thing

Exactly

For what it's worth I think you've done the right thing as I know how much you love Felicity and I think leaving her would have broken you

Without getting too deep, if there were things that made you want to leave the UK that are in your control to change, then why not take this as an opportunity to set about changing them.

Such a wonderful offer from Sheila too, I'm glad you're staying together but if you weren't then I can't think of a better home than with Sheila

emmmy_lou · « **Reply #42 on:** May 24, 2013, 16:43:26 PM »

Oh, Pav

I have been following this, but didn't know what to say for the best

No need to be embarrassed at all! If this had been what was needed for you to make your mind up, then that can only be a good thing

I concur, never 'just a cat'

And a gold star to Sheila for offering all she has done!

sheilarose · « **Reply #41 on:** May 24, 2013, 15:52:11 PM »

Pav, it's my pleasure.

Whatever you decide to do I'll always be here, if you need me in the future you should never hesitate to ask.

I doubt very much that anyone on here would use that horrid word Pav. We know that our cats are NEVER JUST A CAT

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #39 on:** May 24, 2013, 15:12:27 PM »

Oh Pav you have all my thoughts and am sure Sheila understands, she is such a kind and generous person

Soooooo you are staying here then with Felicity? This must be the right decision for both of you.

Are you going to have all your stuff returned to UK?

Little Felicity will not know about any of this and will continue to be your happy little girl and carry on totally oblivious

I just dont know how others rehome their cats and was always wondering about Lupins previous owner who did not seem to have any emotion and in emails just wanted to know how soon I would collect him!

I collapsed into totally misery at getting CP to take a stray called Gingerbread in LOndon who Kocka used to attack and he used to just sit there and let her. It took nearly a year before he felt able to come in the house while I was there and suddenly at Christmas he came for his first stroke and cuddle. I will never know if I did the right thing but it destroyed me for months.

He was absolutely gorgeous

pappilon · « **Reply #38 on:** May 24, 2013, 15:02:25 PM »

Just a quick update.
I spoke to Sheila last night and she kindly offered to take Felicity in today.
Istarted packing all her toys and bedding and food while crying my eyes out

By 3 am all packed and ready and i just sat there and thought i cant do this to her, she is happy and content here may be if she wasnt so scared of people it would have been easier as she could have been comforted and may be not as i have never re homed my cat before but the thought of her being scared in a strange place breaks my heart i know in my heart that in long term things would have been ok but i just cant to this so i pm Sheila and told her and am not going to go through with selling my place and just see what life brings on

Sheila you are just amazing and kind and i don't know how to thank you as i said in my message i am so sorry and i feel really embarrassed and i know that you understand. Thank you

And thank you every one for your help and thoughts i guess it had to get to this point for me to realize the best thing to do by her is to keep her with me, i know lots of people out there think its just a cat but her happiness is my responsibility and i know any thing can happen to her or me so we try to make the most of it.
Thank you x

Dawn F · « **Reply #36 on:** May 23, 2013, 08:09:47 AM »

I glad to hear that Pav, as for felicity if you have been offered what you want for the flat you should move forward, I'm sure sheila would do the very best for her whatever that would be and if she was with a purrs person at least you could keep in touch

sheilarose · « **Reply #35 on:** May 22, 2013, 23:58:57 PM »

The offer here stands, Pav.

Whatever you decide, there's a home for Felicity here with me.

Knowing my track record if she's not found a doting, vetted and suitably protective Meowmi in two weeks, she'd be staying here with the Tufty club as an honoured member.

You know where I am. Don't let a cat come between you and your future when there are options.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #34 on:** May 22, 2013, 21:51:52 PM »

Its often the case that we get certain views of other countries which is Government propaganda sp? inspired and sounds like my views are so.

I know before I went to East Europe this wqas the same and when I arrived it was nothing how I had been told especially by my employer who didnt want me to go and I was told I would be followed all the time and they would be out to get me etc etc!

I am so pleased that Iran is much freer than I thought

So we are back to Felicity and the best way to help her.

Sorry you did not manage to get the cat from the other property and hope it will be OK

pappilon · « **Reply #33 on:** May 22, 2013, 21:15:51 PM »

Thank you eery one, back now

Didnt get Princes as the husband discharged him self from hospital and couldnt find him to get permission to take her but the flat is been cleaned and no more broken glass around the poor cat is so scared

Sheila thank you so much for your kind offer i am so grateful . If through your friends and contacts you come across some one whom you think is suitable please do let me know as i wont leave untill i know Felicity is well settles in her new home. Your offer of her staying with you and your family is so generous and i am touched but believe me you dont want a cat pat you on the face or stand on your forehead at early hours to let her out

She started 3.30 this morning and i was so tired that didnt want to get up but by 5 i gave in and got up

I think the only way is for her to go to a home which has cat proof out door so she could be let out from the start and not kept in for 6-8 weeks i know its too much to ask but i cant think of any other way.

Dawn , yes it has changed a lot but no restriction like Saudi, nothing like that and tbh there is nothing i do here that i cant do in Iran .
Slugsta , thank you for your thoughts and concern

Its not about really wanting to go back but in long term is best option for me without going to details one of the reasons is my health and there are other reasons but i am going back knowing what its like in there.

Gill yes women can drive and work , they even served in army during the war. As for freedom and human rights i am afraid it doesnt exist

As for being safe i dont think its too bad .
I dont have a big family over there have lost every one close to me except my brother and his two kids and my sil which i am close to but they do respect my privacy and support me when needed.
I guess its a chance i am willing to take and hope to find some happiness

My only concern and worries is to do the right thing for Felicity , i need to do this right.
Alison kindly has given me her sil email contact as she is involved in rescues in Iran and hopefuly she can advise me on taking Felicity back or not re the transport and the vets and .... if i think is not an obtion to take her then i would start looking for a home here but the problem is the people who are interested in buying the flat and has offered the asking price are trying to rush things .
Once again thank you all for your thoughts and support.
