I have just read on Catchat that GB has managed to escape again

- he really should be renamed Houdini

Hi Shirley, Just being nosey and wondering if you have had any joy yet with finding any info on him?

Dawn F · « **Reply #137 on:** August 25, 2009, 16:39:00 PM »

I agree with Bazmum, no harm in asking

Bazsmum · « **Reply #136 on:** August 24, 2009, 18:54:06 PM »

Im sure a phone call to the rescue at the end of the week will do no harm!

Shirley · « **Reply #135 on:** August 24, 2009, 16:49:44 PM »

Thanks Dawn, but i don't even know if they know about me!

Trigger, i've no idea-it's like i've never existed! I think, now the pressure of the Open day has gone, i'll ring Janet at the end of the week to see if she can telll me anymore.

have the new owners given him a name, Shirley?

Dawn F · « **Reply #133 on:** August 24, 2009, 15:28:34 PM »

I'm sure they will be very touched to know you care!

Shirley · « **Reply #132 on:** August 24, 2009, 15:27:46 PM »

LMAO Sheryl-'his new human slaves'
You're probably right about waiting as well! I'll leave it to the experts x

sheryl · « **Reply #131 on:** August 24, 2009, 15:08:53 PM »

I can understand how eager you are to see him but as Bazsmum says it may confuse him at the moment and it may be better to wait until he is settled and knows that he is now in his "forever home" Im sure you will feel better when you actually hear from his new human slaves that he is doing okay.

Im sure that he thinks of you just as much as you think of him xxx

Shirley · « **Reply #130 on:** August 24, 2009, 14:53:53 PM »

I wasn't told how long the trial was-would think it would be more than 2 weeks anyway. I would imagine they'll keep him cos they are experienced with hard to rehome cats and they like him!!!
I just thought it would be nice for him to see a familiar face, but, then again, i'm no expert!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #129 on:** August 24, 2009, 13:09:39 PM »

I too hate the waiting game Shirley!

but as you know its best to wait... you have waited this long hun!

It would only cause extra confusion for him to see you at this delicate stage in his homing.... Im sure its all going okay and I bet if you could peek into their house you would be so proud of your little man....

Is it this Fri or Sat thats the 2 week trial over or are the rescue not to specific at what time a trial lasts?

I am so glad the weather was nice for your open day... I hope lots of good came of it!

Shirley · « **Reply #128 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:45:12 PM »

Thanks for that Bazsmum and Sheryl-i hope he will. I sooooooooo want to see him and know for myself he's happy and settled, although it is early days, i know. I just feel he would settle quicker if he saw me, like he did when i caught him the week before he was rehomed, and he was letting other people at the Sanctuary fuss him. That had never happened before, except once, when i was there, he let one of the assistants stroke him-once in 6 years!!!!!! I'll just have to be patient i suppose, but that has never been my strongest point lol!

sheryl · « **Reply #127 on:** August 24, 2009, 11:46:36 AM »

Oh Shirley, I am so pleased for Grey Baby - he deserves to he happy and settled and it is all thanks to you - dont ever feel like you abandoned him Hun, you have done so much for him and I am sure he will always love you for that

Shirley · « **Reply #126 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:43:05 AM »

Didn't get to meet his new mommy and daddy yesterday, don't even know if they were there, but the day was great-lovely weather and lots of people!!
I hope i'll get an update about him this week..............

I hope so Dawn, cos i feel like i've abandonded him................

A, a a! No way have you abandoned him Shirley, you have set him up for the rest of his life to be a safe and happy one! Dont forget!!!

Dawn F · « **Reply #124 on:** August 21, 2009, 13:24:51 PM »

well you didn't think he would be happy with your other cat so this is the next best thing!

Shirley · « **Reply #123 on:** August 21, 2009, 13:24:14 PM »

I hope so Dawn, cos i feel like i've abandoned him................

Dawn F · « **Reply #122 on:** August 21, 2009, 13:05:30 PM »

don't know how I missed this - I am so pleased for you and him - sounds like he is settling in nicely - good luck with the open day

Shirley · « **Reply #121 on:** August 21, 2009, 13:04:07 PM »

Just a tad too far then lol

Thanks-there are some lovely cats waiting for new homes-hope the visitors fall in love with them!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #120 on:** August 21, 2009, 13:00:37 PM »

Afraid Im too far away Shirley, I live in the North East!

Hope the weather and the fund raising all go to plan! x

Shirley · « **Reply #119 on:** August 21, 2009, 12:58:00 PM »

Thanks! Fingers crossed the weather will be good as well-the paddocks cats will be sunbathing (well, some of them!)-so that will be a treat for the visitors! Are you going or do you live too far away?

Bazsmum · « **Reply #118 on:** August 21, 2009, 12:51:30 PM »

OO! Hope you do get to meet them!

Hope you have a good weekend and

that all will be positive!

Shirley · « **Reply #117 on:** August 21, 2009, 12:46:51 PM »

Sorry i haven't been on-slapped wrists lol! I heard something mid week! He likes to sit on a kitchen cabinet or bookcase and lets his new mommy and daddy stroke him when he's on them! (Sounds like he's not confined to one room-yipeee!) He's eating and using his litter tray! Looking good so far, thank God!
It's the Open Day on Sunday, so i'll be there (and tomorrow) so i hope i can get some more info then. Better still, if they're there, maybe someone will point them out and i can get it from the horses mouth! If not, i hope Janet will give them my number so they can ring me direct, to save bothering her all the time!
I'll let you know on Sunday. Fingers crossed!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #116 on:** August 21, 2009, 10:15:08 AM »

1 week today.... No news is good news I hope!

Shirley · « **Reply #115 on:** August 14, 2009, 19:24:55 PM »

It will be THE best birthday ever if it works out!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #114 on:** August 14, 2009, 18:04:20 PM »

OO! Sounds about right! Hopefully you will have one of your bestest Birthdays ever!

Shirley · « **Reply #113 on:** August 14, 2009, 17:55:50 PM »

p.s it's my birthday in 4 weeks-about the time he has to be confined to one room? What a birthday present if he likes it!!

Shirley · « **Reply #112 on:** August 14, 2009, 17:51:50 PM »

Lol that should DEFINATELY do the trick!

Relax!! If i could drink, i'd get the booze out!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #111 on:** August 14, 2009, 16:55:17 PM »

Oo! Sounding good!

If they take into account what he has been through and how he is progressing.... Im sure they will be delighted with him Shirley!!!

Sending positive stay put cos this is gonna be your forever home vibes~~~~~~that should do the trick!

Just make sure you save the last dance for me!

Have a good weekend and relax, youve earned it!

Shirley · « **Reply #110 on:** August 14, 2009, 16:49:19 PM »

The lady and her hubby have taken him on a trial!

:party:

I hope he doesn't panic too much!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #109 on:** August 14, 2009, 16:13:02 PM »

Excellent news! Im so glad that his people fear is melting away, also he is not bothered by loud noises.... What a brave boy he is!

Finger's crossed that all goes to plan and the lady from the C-de-S falls instantly for his charms!

I bet you are waiting with baited breath!

Shirley · « **Reply #108 on:** August 13, 2009, 18:17:34 PM »

Hi, went to see the little sweetheart today-he wanted his usual lot of fuss from me and a bit from Paul, but was then happy enough to lie on the mat watching the world go by, even with me still in the pen! There was a man mowing the grass with a petrol mower just outside-i thought he would hide in the 'bedroom' but he stayed put! He's come on brilliantlly since he's been back there! I can't say that he's a lap cat yet, but he's come so far from the timid little lad i took to Cramar 5.1/2 months ago-even Penny who was feeding him couldn't get near him! He's still jumpy at times, but he's letting more people touch him now.
The cul de sac lady is going to see him tomorrow! Let's hope he's on his best behaviour and he makes himself irresistable-especially with open day on the 23rd-he could do with being away before then!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #107 on:** August 13, 2009, 12:31:01 PM »

That's great that the woman from the C-de-S is still interested!

I agree the other person would be far and also may have two many cats for his liking!

Over £25 in petrol....what are you like!!! You are so right in your line of thinking though as he does sound like he's gonna be in his forever home very soon!

Give him a chin rub (or belly if he is in the mood) from me and mine, have a good one Shirley!

He looks very chilled in that pic...he's so handsome too!

Shirley · « **Reply #106 on:** August 13, 2009, 09:38:04 AM »

Thanks Dawn!

Dawn F · « **Reply #105 on:** August 13, 2009, 08:55:52 AM »

glad things are looking up for him!

Shirley · « **Reply #104 on:** August 13, 2009, 07:33:44 AM »

Good morning!

Yes, they have been in touch with 'the cul de sac' lady and she was going to see him this week! I was there on Tuesday when i was told and Janet will let me know how the 'meeting' goes!

He was fussy again, even with Paul, but a bit nervous , i thought-maybe Abbie had upset him again!

He's been offered a home on Catchat by someone with the perfect home-no roads, just fields, trees and a stream and SEVEN cats! The only problem is, she lives in Hampshire-a bit far to do a home check lol I think, actually, he'd be better with just a couple of cats at the most-he was ok at Penny's with another 2, but anymore makes him nervous.

I want to go today, but i've been 4 times in less than a week and i've put £25 petrol in,and it's now in the red again! Oh, what the hell, he might not be there much longer, i'll go!

I had a thought last night and am expecting the men in white coats any minute-what if he escaped to look for his mommy cos they were always together (except when he disappeared a few times!) and realised he wasn't going to find her, so gave up. Am i mad or what!!!

No I dont think thats a mad thought, Im sure they would look for each other!

Hoping all is great at your end Shirley, have they heard anything from the lady in the cul-de-sac yet?

Shirley · « **Reply #102 on:** August 10, 2009, 13:18:20 PM »

Awww thanks for that! He'd always been our baby at work, i couldn't just leave him there when i left-i worry about him now if i don't see him for a DAY!!

Oh Wow Shirley that is amazing and as we all know will make him much more homeable!

Yes hang fire till they here of the lady in the cul-de-sac....Im sure his future prospects on the rehoming front are a lot more promising now!

I certainly reckon that his adventure was a truley scary one for him and he has realised where his bread is buttered! You have a lot to be proud of you know, cos you gave him the confidence that he is showing today!

Shirley · « **Reply #100 on:** August 10, 2009, 07:42:15 AM »

Hi Bazsmum, yes i did see him yesterday and he was lovely again! He was fussy and relaxed, except when Abbie was growling at him!! He was nervous around my friend, Paul, but, by the end of the visit, he was letting HIM fuss him! Janet told me that on Saturday, her husband went to stroke him and he rolled onto his back and let him tickle his belly!!!I'VE never done that, it's amazing! If i didn't know better, i would say it's a different cat LOL.
Regarding rehoming, i'll wait to see if Janet manages to get in touch with the lady in the cul de sac first, but whether or not she does, she says he WILL be rehomed and not go into the paddocks Yaaaah!
Here's some pics from yesterday!
