Way to go Nick.......what a lovely gesture

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #68 on:** July 21, 2007, 23:18:34 PM »

Awww Nick, I'm speechless

That is really very thoughtful of you, and myself and my furbabes really appreciate it, thank you so much

I'll send you my details and thanks once again

Nick (Peanut & Boo) · « **Reply #67 on:** July 21, 2007, 23:10:43 PM »

you guys are amazing . 40 cats ? thats more than most PDSA's can manage.

I am already pretty committed supporting other cat charities but I'd like to make a small contribution to you and your cats Dawn if I may.
I'd like to pledge £300.00 per year .I know its not much but every little helps I'm sure.
PM me with your bank details and I'll set up a monthly direct debit.

blimey Dawn £60.00 on dry food gulp!. .........how many do you have in at the moment ?

I must have over 40 now with all these bloody kittens I've been lumbered with

I've got to sort out the one's to go out next week as it's getting ridiculous now......so I'll have a busy week of trapping ferals

The kittens are tame by the way, so definitely belonged to someone

I can't get near the little tortie, she is still running away from me but she's extremely playful

The little black/white is a little nervous as well but the black and the ginger are real cuddle bums

Do you mind me asking how you are funded Dawn ? do you have charity status or do you do this at home on a shoestring lol

I do get help with the spaying and neutering off the RSPCA, they have been really good and I can't knock them. Vet bills, food bills etc come out my own pocket and you've also got fuel on top with all the running round you do. It's a struggle especially when you get a few sickly one's in but I have a lot of support off my vets and they are a godsend. They will always treat my animals regardless of my growing vet bills so without their help, it would be impossible. My food bill alone is £60 per week, that's just for the dried, on top of that mine have wet food and then kitten food for the babies as well, and also cat litter, wormers, defleaing treatments, etc, etc so I really need to win the lottery to make life easier

I have a couple of peeps who send me regular standing orders which I really appreciate, every little helps regardless of how much

I think these little one's have been someone's pets, :

thats what makes it even worse really . They look to be about 6 weeks ? so someone has presumably fed them and cared for them that long then tossed them out onto a skip unbelievable ? why not dump them outside a local Vets at least
well done Dawn. I really don't visit oftn enough so I don't really know enough about all you rehomers and rescue centres. Do you mind me asking how you are funded Dawn ? do you have charity status or do you do this at home on a shoestring lol

Little scrumptious puddings!!!

Thats a lovely description. Too nice to eat as well.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #51 on:** July 19, 2007, 08:04:58 AM »

Oh they're all lovely. Little scrumptious puddings!!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #50 on:** July 19, 2007, 00:06:43 AM »

Just love that little tortie

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #49 on:** July 19, 2007, 00:02:42 AM »

If he moves in the shed, you can then have the torties, I'm sure he'll understand

My hubbies allergic to cats as well but I think he's slowly getting immuned to them

I do get a lot of earache at night time though because when I go to bed, I get a trail of cats following me and he is then up half the night coughing

The tortie is a little doll, and so is the wobbly one

I'll try and get a decent piccie of her, she is absolutely gorgeous.......I love them all and wish I had a bigger house so I could keep them all

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #48 on:** July 18, 2007, 23:57:34 PM »

Dawn, hunny, if I thought OH would let me have a pair of kittens, I'd be in the car right now.

But he's alergic, bless him, and he itches quite a bit now. Four cats in the house would probably drive him out to the shed.

That wee Tortie is the most captivating, stunning little darling I've seen for quite some time.

Oh.... it's not fair!

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #47 on:** July 18, 2007, 23:34:50 PM »

One of the wobblies is a tortie as well........very scrummy

And I meant to tell you, the offer this week is get one tortie, get one free

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #46 on:** July 18, 2007, 23:33:08 PM »

Oh...!!!

That tortie is remarkable, isn't she?

Someone lucky is going to end up with her alright. I just wish it was me....

Edited to say..

What on earth was that monster thinking doing that to such a beautiful litter????

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #45 on:** July 18, 2007, 23:16:23 PM »

Piccies of the gorgeous tortie and ginger

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #44 on:** July 18, 2007, 13:10:44 PM »

I'll take one shortly and post

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #43 on:** July 18, 2007, 13:09:28 PM »

solo piccie of the little ginger one too please, Dawn

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #42 on:** July 18, 2007, 13:04:48 PM »

Kittens are all fine, still nervous obviously and I'm pretty convinced they were someone's and not ferals

The little tortie girl has decided from day one she's not stopping in a cage and has been spending her time in the lounge curled up

Not sure how she's getting out, but everytime I put her back in with her siblings, I look again and she's gone

I'll try and get a better pic of her later.......she is really gorgeous bless her

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #41 on:** July 18, 2007, 13:01:59 PM »

Am glad at least these little ones were found and now stand a fighting chance of getting good loving homes. That little ginger one is gorgeous. He looks slightly defensive and sad, but like he'd be a right little rufty-tufty.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #40 on:** July 18, 2007, 12:28:28 PM »

How are these wee darlings doing today, Dawn? I take it they're from the same litter? Quite a mix, isn't it?

Mum must have been very friendly.

Keep your fingers crossed that I win the lottery this week, 'cos I'd take the lot of them if I had a bigger house.

Sabrina (Auferstehen) · « **Reply #39 on:** July 17, 2007, 15:18:07 PM »

Awww.

We've only got two other black and white cats in the area that could almost pass for Penguin, the others are all different colors including a HUGE white cat I would have thought it a dog until I used my camera to zoom in...

I knew I should have got an all black cat! As it is the perfect disguise.

He’d never figure out if I had one or eight of them

I knew a bloke who had an cat. He lived in a top floor flat, but puss had access to the outside via the kitchen window onto a flat roof. One day, the cat went out and didn't come back. Then, after 6 weeks of searching, he called to say puss had returned home via the kitchen window as usual and was tucking into dinner liked he'd never been away. Puss was pure black.

I next saw him three weeks later, and when I went round, puss jumped up on my lap for a cuddle - but puss had a white spot on it's chest.

How long do you think I could get away with having a few extra cats in the house before my OH noticed?

The art is to take in cats that are almost identical to those you have and then men (sorry men) don't often notice for a while and when they do it is too late and the cats have found their way into the males affections

I think the vets are used to the types of cat I can take in now

One of the spanish vets that I used to deal with is back at my old surgery for a couple of months, he told me last week that he'd missed me and my cats in traps

He did once put a feral on the scales to weigh her and then let her go........both myself, the vet and vet nurse all got savaged, and the vet did get a roasting off me as we spent about 20 minutes trying to catch her

The more they hissed and spat at her, the more she seemed to like them. She just lurved neutering them!

Not like a vet I know of who once said that he would rather PTS an unneutered tom than castrate it.
