Ok, Can someone write a basic list with ages, sexes and locations of these cats and if I'm given permission I'll cross post the info.

Mark, I'd miss you if you went, you snob!

No because I will not say boo to a goose in future for fear of punishment

I understand that you were on the spot a bit though

yes indeed we were. Though does that mean we have permission to censor you all the time them?

Nah, my fav colour isn't Pink I think we're on track.

Yeah I'm not partial to Pink myself.

If there is anything I can do up here in Leeds let me know. My OH can be bribed.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I was joking - although it would be hard to leave purrs. However, I was looking up definitions.

I can help where needed Julie, just let us know.

I have PMed Dawn offering to do my bit with a rescue package. If it gets taken up, I'll probably have to ask for help from various peeps for neutering vouchers, help with perminant rehoming, etc... but I think we can offer these cats a safety net.

Meantime...

Can we all be friends, now?

Sorry you feel that way Mark. Our job is to keep this forum friendly. Sadly that thread was not going that way.

Me too

I'd just like to say (I was going to but it had gone!) that I think most of the thread was a valid one and while it should have been closed its good for people to realise that Rescues cannot joust accommodate everything so I don't think it should have been deleted.

I agree to an extent but in this instance I agree that the thread was deleted although some of the posts are valid. A lot of damage can be done when comments are made and they can be taken totally out of context, but by then it's too late to pick up the pieces and the rescue suffers through no fault of their own.

I have nearly all the posts from that thread so can reinstate some but it was very upsetting. I have emailed Les and CC.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #10 on:** August 06, 2007, 15:11:20 PM »

I texted Sarah earlier and I'm hoping we can get a solution for all this, it makes it easier knowing the cats can be split but the fighting will be down to them not being spayed and neutered. I've asked Sarah to bell me tonight but she has told me, she has no carriers for these babes so whoever takes them will need carriers sorting as well.

Crazycatz, have you got a landline number for Sarah, I only have a mobile number. If you have, can you pm it to me please, thanks.

crazycatz · « **Reply #9 on:** August 06, 2007, 14:56:23 PM »

hi i see my other thread has been closed
just to update on this
the cats havent been put to sleep there may be a chance of them getting in to a rescue tomorrow but its not 100 per cent yet
at the moment my friend has kept them all indoors today with litter trays so no one reports to council that they are still living there .
as for ages ,sexes etc ,theres a mum with babies , a female ,and two males . they are all under 2 years old and sadly none are neutered

they dont get on and always attack each other so much so the neighbours told the council they dont get any sleep as they have to listen to cats fighting all night every night , i have told my friend millions of times to get them neutered etc and have always offered to ring the cp for her and get vouchers sent out ( even though they are both working so they should pay really)
i told her to get this cat spayed when she first got her but of course she ended up pregnant straight away , that poor cat has had litter after litter ,she came from an abused home where she was kicked and had one of kittens kicked to death in front of her last year thats why my friend took her in ,its all so sad and could all of been prevented ,as i say ive always adviced her on what she should do but she has never listend to me .

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #8 on:** August 06, 2007, 14:53:26 PM »

I am sure she has Dawn. We all think highly of Lesley.

Just a thought. Are there any members we could approach who live nearby to see if they maybe have room? They may not have seen this thread yet? We can use the map maybe? Maybe check with Tan if its ok to approach them? Maybe we can find a foster home for all of them together until permie homes can be sorted?

I agree and it would have been nice for Leslie to have seen the support she received.

She saw most of it I think and I have told her, hopefully we can undo the damage that's been done.

Thanks Ruth, I'll ask Sarah to give me a ring tonight to get an idea on their characters etc and to see if any do need to be with the other. I hate to split them up if we can avoid it especially if they do really get on, but if it's the only option, that's what we'll have to do. I'll let you know as soon as I get more info

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #4 on:** August 06, 2007, 14:35:03 PM »

Agree Angie but think that there was too much on the thread that was not relevant and its hard to control that once it gets past that stage. Maybe we can start on a sep thread what Rescues can and can't do, and refer peeps there?

In the meantime hope these little ones get the care they need.

Kittybabe (Ruth) · « **Reply #3 on:** August 06, 2007, 14:33:57 PM »

Dawn if need be I can have one of the adults short term but will be alone most of the day while I'm at work. But at least will have warm place to sleep at night. London way so can find a way to transport. I figure between PB and others here we can find a solution to foster.

We desperately need to find somewhere for 3 adult cats and 4 three week old kittens, I doubt very much any of the adults have been done so this will have to be sorted out as well but I'm sure that can be arranged. The lady who owns them has been told by the council that she will be evicted if somewhere isn't found as in now. Mum and kittens will have to remain together and possibly the 2 other adults. If anyone can help, can they please pm me, email or post on thread asap.....my email is on my profile.

Thanks,
