Lovely update Paula, thanks and keep up the good work.
You've all seen Tad's new kids? They're even more scrumptious in the fur, believe me!
Sad, sad news, I'm sorry to report we lost little Minnie last night. Her FIV became full blown and she couldn't fight off a mouth infection that was preventing her from eating. RIP, sweet, sweet Minnie.
The wonderful stuff, however has not relented despite this sad setback. We trapped a family of 5 cats living in a garden. Mum and no1 son turned out to be quite wild but in only 5 days we managed to turn the three kittens from hiss-spits into fun loving criminals. They've all gone to their new homes already, the feral Mum and son together to a riding stable with Marvellous Madeleine and the kids to a lovely new home. I'll pop some pics on here later when I've got them shrunkened.
We also managed to acquire adoption centre spaces for Little Buddy, his pal Margo, his Mum Allie and another young handsome tuxedo cat called Morris who was a TNR that turned out to be a friendly lad. Two further TNRs and a helping hand for one of our local independent rescues I think it adds up to around 13 cats in one week we've helped. Not too shabby, eh?
So who's left you ask? I'll tell you.
A little blind girl named Squeaky Dee we picked up had been living rough in a garden. Her BP is off the scale high which is what caused her blindness. She's worming her way into my heart very quickly as she's a sweet, spunky little thing intent on escape at a snails pace.
And then there's King! King is a wonderful rufty tufty ginger tom with no tail who had been terrorising his neighbourhood and hospitalising all the locals.
He's feeling a bit lighter around the back end now and although he's swiped me a couple of times I think a bit of magical Zylkene may well get him back to pet status too. Another week should do it.
Then there's last but by no means least we finally caught little Skye.
She was unhappily abandoned when her eastern european owners left the house and her behind
She had been fed by kind neighbours but was being continually molested by the local toms, and hence was terribly scared. Once indoors with me she's immediately come out of her shell and is the softest, snuggliest adorable little petite cat, and at only 18 months old will make someone a perfect little pal.
Skye has a space at the adoption centre from Sunday, but I have a feeling there may be a home for her before then...
OK must go to bed, believe it or not I'm still managing to fit a full time job in! heres Skye to melt your hearts
