Wonderful news.

great news after all that she's been through

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #57 on:** December 06, 2008, 21:02:28 PM »

What wonderful news ... I'm so happy she is fitting fit and ready to go to a forever home. She sounds delightful xx

Millys Mum · « **Reply #56 on:** December 06, 2008, 20:37:16 PM »

Great news, shows with good hygiene it can be eradicated

Fingers crossed shes rehomed soon

Mark · « **Reply #55 on:** December 06, 2008, 20:29:23 PM »

Sharon will need to update title - but she had an email from Brigid at Siamese cat rescue - MiaMia (pronounced MiMi) has been retested and is CLEAR OF CORONAVIRUS

She will shortly be ready for rehoming. She said that 6 months is a long time for a cat to be in quarantine but MiaMia has such a lovely temperament that she managed OK. She said whoever rehomes her will be a very lucky person -

Thanks -that now all makes sense.
Yes let's hope the vet can use his powers of persuasion to help out with these kittens.
Obviously unless anyone knows this breeder it's not fair to comment on whether or not she will home these kittens responsibly.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #53 on:** June 08, 2008, 14:45:12 PM »

A vet that takes the condition seriously, lets hope he can have some input towards the kittens.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #52 on:** June 08, 2008, 14:40:19 PM »

I know a little about this story, Tagalong. I gather the breeder imported 4 breeding adults from the US and 2 of these have subsequently died. A post mortum was carried out and FIP was found to the the cause of death. Until the result of that, no one suspected these cats to have the Corona Virus. Maybe the vet notified the authorities? In any case, her vet is our vet and he has taken this case very seriously. That's as much as I know.

Tagalong · « **Reply #51 on:** June 08, 2008, 14:09:14 PM »

Are the kittens still with the breeder?
If she has been struck off GCCF then she must have either had a cat postmortemed to be sure it died of FIP and then informed them-which seems honest but probably unlikely or a kitten she sold has died of it and the disease traced back to her -or she was struck off for some other reason???
I just feel that this is sad for these babies and their future is not looking good.

Mark · « **Reply #50 on:** June 07, 2008, 15:41:22 PM »

I don't know what the future hold for them but I'm sure she will make some money out of them if she can.

Tagalong · « **Reply #49 on:** June 07, 2008, 13:03:56 PM »

That's great news for the kittens and maybe indicates the mum will loose her readings too when retested.
Has the breeder handed these kittens over to rescue? -now they are negative she can sell them -i believe someone said the GCCf have struck her off but she will simply sell them unregistered as most 'breeders' seem to now and they often end up as kitten machines.
Best if kittens could be got out of the breeders house in case of reinfection/infection but there may be a fight to get them?
Poor mum looks like she still has milk too-hopefully will dry up no probs now kittens are away.

Mark · « **Reply #48 on:** June 07, 2008, 12:39:30 PM »

I rang to the vets just now to let them know that SR would take the kittens if they tested positive. The vet said the results came back yesterday and they are NEGATIVE

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #47 on:** June 06, 2008, 21:26:56 PM »

Thats what i lvoe about siamese, its when they are not noisey that you know something is up! She looks like my Lizzy i had a few years back..will be updated bySR on her progress.

Compared to Amelia and Azura, she looks to be in fab condition

I think her condition is good (Apart from the obvious) but the lady said she is tiny and skinny for 19 months. She has plenty of welly left in her - she told me off for 1 1/2 hours in the car

Fingers crossed for her kittens. The lady at Siamese rescue said she will take them if they test positive

Bazsmum · « **Reply #45 on:** June 06, 2008, 20:53:50 PM »

Aw she is beautiful!

Sharon just sent me a photo that Sally took yesterday

Here eyes are beautiful - it's a shame you can'r see them

Mark · « **Reply #40 on:** June 06, 2008, 16:11:35 PM »

She is safely at the Siamese rescue with Brigid now

Sorry but I forgot to take photos - she is a beautiful lilac point. Underweight. Brigid said she was the size of an 8 month old - she is skin & bone. I know they are sleek cats but she really is underweight. Anyway, she is with the right person to get her better. Brigid is confident that she will be rehomed

hope you go on ok Mark, hope the babies end up in good homes too

I have got an amazing story to tell though but i cant face writing it out at the mo....it will keep.

Have posted it on General Cat -

It has really lifted my spirits...you must have a read xx

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #37 on:** June 05, 2008, 19:40:56 PM »

I have already spoken to the vets and SR about the kittens, we can only do something if she decides to hand over to rescue or she may just sell on if they are fine.. The test results are another 10 days or so and then retesting..

Mum was spayed today...

Mark good luck with this all tomorrow, dont forget vac cert and thanks for doing this your a star!

Millys Mum · « **Reply #36 on:** June 05, 2008, 19:38:01 PM »

Sharon if you have any way of making contact re the kittens, they shouldnt be pts on on one titre reading. They need to be given time, looked after with 5* hygiene standards and then retested. The titres can drop, if they dont then they are at higher risk.

Hope the drive goes smoothly mark.

Mark · « **Reply #35 on:** June 05, 2008, 19:19:39 PM »

Anyway, I'm all geared up to do this run tomorrow. Including going to the vets, I think it's around 120 miles round trip

The vet is in the opposite direction to where I am going.

Dawn F · « **Reply #34 on:** June 05, 2008, 15:56:35 PM »

Michelle you tease

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #33 on:** June 05, 2008, 15:53:16 PM »

Not at all Mark - Been given really strong tablets by Dr that are going to knock me out anyway so i wouldnt have been able to help tomorrow now...I feel bad though, I AM REALLY SORRY TO HAVE LET YOU ALL DOWN x

I have got an amazing story to tell though but i cant face writing it out at the mo....it will keep.

Good luck with this little one - well done to everyone involved - xxxx

Mark · « **Reply #32 on:** June 05, 2008, 10:44:39 AM »

I just spoke to Brigid and it seems easier all round if I take her straight there - hope Michelle doesn't think we are snubbing her kind offer

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #31 on:** June 05, 2008, 09:42:14 AM »

Mark caroline is dropping of a basket at Ah today for you..
Mrs Brigid Oakley Tel:020 8464 8857
Call anytime(within reason please!) Kent, London & Surrey
Thisis the number and Brigid offered to met someone that was good for all.

Mark · « **Reply #30 on:** June 05, 2008, 09:19:07 AM »

Michelle, if your offer still stands, can you arrange to meet the lady at Siamese rescue. I will see if I can get an address for where you suggested to meet. If you can't do it, I will speak to her. Thanks

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #29 on:** June 04, 2008, 17:47:37 PM »

I will change the title of this to avoid any misconceptions about this little one

Ahhhhhh someone beat me to it, thanks

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #28 on:** June 04, 2008, 17:39:54 PM »

I've just been given a number for a lady who runs I think either cats or animals in crisis and i think she's in Bromley or thereabouts, apparently she knows someone who is after a Siamese so I'm not sure whether this may help in getting her a home. I'll pm you the number Sharon and you can get in touch with her if you want.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #27 on:** June 04, 2008, 17:14:51 PM »

Sorry Mark didnt mean "we" i meant as in the branch... Anyhows, I have no idea of place names either.

its perfectly natural Mark but chances are, as far as i understand it, you've probably already got the virus in the house one way or another

if you were worried about accidents could you put a plastic sheet under the carrier and then just throw it away, I do understand why you are worried, my oh is same which is why I have the shoe spraying ritual! He even came to the vet with me to take her advice on what I would be bringing back with me from the cattery illness wise! Corona wasn't high on her list of priorities I have to say, the main thing is that when it does go bad, it goes really bad and that is why people are so rightly afraid of it

if it was me I'd do it but you must do what is right for you

Thanks Dawn - I could get a decorator's plastic sheet for about £1 to be safe.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #25 on:** June 04, 2008, 17:03:55 PM »

Thursday or Friday is ok with me - Afternoon if poss (well after 12)

Mark · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2008, 17:02:01 PM »

Were we?

Seriously, I could do that but road names and numbers mean nothing to me. I need a street and a street number

Just wondering if it would stress her out more being transferred? - If that's the case, I would rather take her all the way. Thinking aloud here but me and OH have been thinking about going to Bluewater soon in which case Saturday might be an option. I don't mind doing Friday though.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2008, 16:52:54 PM »

Hi Michelle
Will work on someone getting to you as you suggest... What day is good for you..? We were looking at Friday...

Dawn F · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2008, 16:51:05 PM »

good on you Michelle, this poor little thing deserves a break

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2008, 16:43:15 PM »

I'll help !

Take it whoever brought her up from hearn bay would be coming up on the M2 onto the A2 ?
I dont fancy driving too far down the A2 at the mo as not feeling too good but if someone wants to meet me at Black Prince interchange (theres a hotel there) I'll take the cat the rest of the Journey into Bromley (safes that person coming off the A2...they can just go straight back down it)
Is that any good ?
