I received a phone call this morning from a lady who said she was walking her dogs in a woods when she noticed some kids in a den, also inside was a cat that they were passing round, she asked who the cat belonged to and the den fell silent. So she took the cat off the kids. I Immediately contacted Donna one of my fosterers who lives near the lady and she went to collect the little one. Poor thing it only has one eye, is emaciated and might be deaf. She put it straight in the van and as she was approaching Town realized to her horror that there was very little petrol and she had no money on her. She pulled into a petrol station and asked if she could have petrel as she needed to get to the vet urgently, fortunately as it was our CP van they realized it was genuine and let her have petrol and took her watch as a deposit. The little one is now on a drip and having bloods 'done'. Fingers crossed that we got the cat on time.
This was the second emergency of the day, fortunately the first one was chipped and its owner soon found.
-
I hope the police were contacted and these kids get a good beating! . Poor kitty - safe now but who knows what would have happened if the lady wasn't around. When we were kids, we would have taken a stray to the police station or at least taken it home for our mum to sort out.
-
what a shame ela, I do hope it is ok.
Thank goodness the garage gave her the petrol.
can just imagine what the kids were going to do but partially sighted and deaf..it must have been pertrified having been passed around.. A card of thanks to that dog walker woman i think what a star she was intervening and not just "minding her own business"
-
of course they might have been well meaning kids and just petting it not realising they were probably frightening it.
-
Poor baby, I hope all goes well for it now xxx
-
I hope the police were contacted and these kids get a good beating! .
The chance would be a fine thing. What I cannot understand is why were they not at school? I mean when we played hooky or whatever you call it nowadays we used to go to a friends dad house cos we knew he would be out all day. I always remember I and 2 friends did it for a week, On the Friday Mum found out and made me stay in my room all weekend. On the Monday she took me to school and told the Headmistress what we 3 had done. I though that it the cane, but all the headmistress said to me was right Elaine off you go to your class room and tell Mary and Marianne I want to see them. When then came back to the class they had been given the cane. I felt so guilty.
-

Knowing of the area they live, I think the Jury is out on that one.
-
awww poor little thing
i hope all goes ok
-
I am not going to allow myself to dwell on what was going through those children's minds (thank goodness for the dog walker) but I hope the little cat can be helped.
-
but I hope the little cat can be helped.
Of out vet feels that the little one can have a quality life, then no matter how much it costs us, we will pay and hopefully find a home that the little one deserves.
-
Hearing so many bad things lately, it shows there are good people around - I'm so happy for the poor cat - one of the lucky ones :catluv:
I agree Ela, so many people are scared to intervene when they see bad things now. I takes a lot of guts even to tackle some kids now. If a grown up told us off when we were kids we were petrified.
-
Poor little soul .... sending lots of positive thoughts that it will be OK.
Also a great bit :thanks: and :grouphug: to the dog walker.
-
I takes a lot of guts even to tackle some kids now.
If you knew the size of her dogs you would be scared, very scared.

Helps
I should get myself a few big dogs and tackle some of the teenagers round here :evillaugh:

-
Aww, fingers crossed for the cat Ela, and good on the garage and the dog walker for helping.
-
Just found out this morning the little bu :censored: ers were swinging the poor little soul round by its neck. Anyway the good news is Donna can pick it up from the vets and even better news is that if the owner does not turn up (we usually give 2 weeks) someone who was in the vets yesterday has just rung me and offered it a home. Bless. Not so many people want an old cat with one eye and possibly deaf.
-
Yeayyyy. A new home being offered that quickly. Wonderful. :)
Little sods. It makes me really annoyed, I grew up in a fairly rough area and would never have dreamed of treating an animal that way, and still wouldn't obviously!
I'm currently sat having to endure listening to a mini motorbike due to two young lads driving it up and down the street repeatedly....aggghhh!
-
id like to find them and :censored: swing them by there necks the little :censored:
-
I'm currently sat having to endure listening to a mini motorbike
Oops when my daughter was 5 she had a 50cc Italjet, mind you she was always taken onto a country park or when we went to the Isle of Man she used to ride on the beach in the evenings which you could do at TT time.
I think the Police have the powers nowadays to confiscate the bikes if ridden on the streets and rightly so in my opinion. I know some Police forces have been doing this for a time now.
-
Leaving aside my thoughts about the children (with difficulty) does that mean that the little cat has been given the provisional all-clear by the vet and has been prescribed food, shelter and TLC?
Brilliant news about the potential home, Ela. This is the sort of cat I'd want to adopt myself - I'd want to try and compensate her for the treatment she has endured, somehow.
-

Yes the little one seems to be coming along very nicely thank you. Wonderful what 24 hours on a drip will do. All bloods were fine and also FeLV & FELV test clear. No need for food, shelter and TLC to be perscribed, that comes automatically, with us anyway.

I have absolutely NO problem with kids having stuff like that. What I do object to is two lads of around 15 tramming up the pavement right next to our house and then zooming down the middle of the road. Not only is it noisy, it's also bloomin' dangerous! And to add insult to injury, they live two streets away and come onto our street especially to use the bike! >:( They're what we consider to be "problem" kids. One of my friends gave them verbal both barrels once(not how I'd have dealt with them, but he was being antagonised)and their mother came out and told him off for "shouting at her kids!" Their parents basically let them run riot and if anyone tries to do anything, shout at whoever is attempting to discipline their children.
In fact, what happened to this poor cat...well, let's just say I wouldn't put it past them. And I do feel that it would be the parents fault on this particular case, having seen how much structure they get from them.

Jack we had a problem with mini motor bikes up and down our street .... I phoned the police and reported them! It is illegal to ride them on public roads.. I said I was concerned for their safety as they are so low t the ground a driver could easily hit them! Of course in reality I couldn't give a stuff about the little :censored: but it prompted the police to drive round the area several times and give them a warning. We've had no problems recently ;)
-
Excellent news that the littl ecat has a new home lined up .... poor little soul. Of course there may be an owner out there going spare looking for her so fingers crossed she is from a loving home and will be reunited with her mummy and daddy.
-
Of course there may be an owner out there going spare looking
Hopefully if they love it enough they will contact us or the RSPCA whoS list the cat is now on., Although by the state of the cat is has been outside for a while.
-
I would like to thank one of the Purrs members who has offered to make a donation towards the vet bill for the little one now named Nelson. Not only does he have one eye and is elderly, Donna has just advised me he is also most certainly deaf. The thought of what he must had been going through in the kids hands of those kids is to awful to contemplate.
The kind offer by the member helps to us to rekindle our faith in human nature.
-
Hi Ela,
Just catching up with this site. I'm glad that Nelson is in better hands.
I hope the :censored:little :censored: who traumatised this cat have nasty accidents or, at the very least, a good kicking.
-
Any news on Nelson, Ela? Is he settling well?
-
Poor little Nelson :( ..It saddens me to think that anyone especially a child who is supposed to be innocent would be capable of something s sad ..I dont understand how they can think it is just okay to do something like this !?
As for the Motorbikes my next door neighbours one door down little boy has one of those silly bikes and thinks it is fun to dive it around our garden used to scare my Snarf to bits :(
Mad when i was 15 and wanted to do something naughty I would scribble so and so smells on my text book or go and buy some ''singles'' fags from the ice cream man ...Not terrorise an innocent animal ..
-
Any news on Nelson, Ela? Is he settling well?
Sorry only just come back on been to the pub for a wine or 2
Nelson is coming on remarkably well, it is surprising what 24 hours on a drip, and a bath and lots of little and often meals with TLC will do. Last night Donna took him into her lounge and he jumped on her knee and cuddled up, she was so happy she phoned to tell me. To think he was in such a state (a vet was called out of surgery to attend to him as staff were so worried he would not make it if he did not receive immediate attention) only a couple of days ago .

Awww Ela, I'm so glad he's going to be alright :hug:........what a lucky gorgeous furbabe and I hope the little :censored: get what they deserve :evillaugh:
-
Poor little boy, so glad he is on the mend. Do you think he is a stray or genuinely homeless? It would be fantastic if he already had an owner who was out there looking for him. If not does the offer of a home from the person at the vets still stand?
-
. Do you think he is a stray or genuinely homeless?
I really have no idea, but if he does have an owner who loves him enough they will contact us. Then again in the area he was found if they do not contact us we would not be bothered.
If not does the offer of a home from the person at the vets still stand?
I think so, but if not that will not be a problem as we will ensure he has a wonderful home.
-
Aww, I am so pleased he is doing so well. Good luck for him homewise.
-
So pleased this dear little puss is on the mend and hope he finds a new loving home very soon. Good on you to take him on
Bob
-
Glad to hear Nelson's doing well. HIs photo's lovely.
-
Bless his little cotton socks he looks lovely (sorry for referring to you as a girl before Nelson!)
Fingers crossed he will go from strength to strength :Luv:
-
Nelson looks like a really nice little character. Glad he's recovering. :)
Then again in the area he was found if they do not contact us we would not be bothered.
Bit of a sweeping generalisation, just because the area's bad, doesn't mean the owners are. Sorry, just my opinion.
I do think he's adorable, though. He doesn't look especially old, either.
-
I am so pleased that Nelson is recovering quickly from his ordeal - and I too am sorry I referred to him as 'she' before! He is beautiful and how wonderful that he has responded instantly to kindness: someone is going to be very lucky. Do keep us posted on his progress, Ela
:Luv:
-
Awww he is gorgeous love his furry chops !
-
only just caught up with this.
I'm really chuffed for nelson ela.
Part of me is hoping previous owners dont turn up and he'll go to a lovely 100% INDOOR home ;D
-
sorry for referring to you as a girl before Nelson
It is OK I didn't tell him
Bit of a sweeping generalisation, just because the area's bad, doesn't mean the owners are. Sorry, just my opinion
No need to be sorry we are all entitled to an opinion, but I can honestly say the estate is a nightmare, you can possibly count on one hand the number of good families. It is the estate where we had 38 unneutered toms tested and 35 were FIV+, Cats and kittens are always roaming the streets and every week without exception there are RTA's. We deal with more problems on that estate than the rest of our area out together.
The lady who is interested in Nelson has just rung and Donna is going to see her, Of course we need to keep him foe another 10 days to make sure no one claims him.
-
Thankfully he was spotted and well done, best of luck for Nelson's future.

Wonderful news that he has a home line up already! ;D

As Donna rushed in the vets the lady who I actually was there and saw Nelson in his bad state, then rang me and asked of she could have him. How lucky is that. We need some luck today as it is been one thing after another. I received a phone call about a RTA about 20 mins ago, rrrrrrrrrrrrrr while I am typing this I have just rang the vets and sadly it has not made it.
-
poor puss, i hope he didnt suffer.
will you be doing a home check etc on the lovely woman ela. My presumtion is yes.
-
will you be doing a home check etc on the lovely woman ela. My presumtion is yes.
No, I do know her though. Donna who has Nelson and is a very good home checker will do it?
-
ah thats what i meant, would she be getting on in general.
im really hoping nelson isnt claimed ;D
-
im really hoping nelson isnt claimed
We are rather hoping that too.
-
I have just found out more about the little RTA, apparently it had been roaming around for a while and people were just feeding it. The cat was chipped and when the vet contacted the owner in Bletchley, (that’s in Bucks isn’t it?) they said they signed the cat over to Cats Protection 4 years ago, not our branch obviously. So how it got to Chesterfield I don’t know. This should be a reminder to people to always remember to amend chip details if a cat is re-homed. It is also another reason we say if you think a cat is either lost, abandoned, the owner has moved and left it behind DO NOT ASSUME IT HAS NO OWNER (OR ASSUME IT HAS), PLEASE REPORT IT TO US IMMEDIATELY, whatever state it may be in. It may simply be lost and could have been lost months previously. It is not unknown for cats to get into cars, removal vans, and so on, and be transported miles from their homes.. Most of the cats who go missing must be out there somewhere and, although we do manage to reunite quite a few with their owners, most of them are taken in or being fed by well meaning people, but are never actually reported, depending on the condition of the cat and the safety of the location we can decide what course of action to take to ensure the cat receives all the help it needs. (Where this cat it would certainly have been sooner rather than later) E.G. if the cat is well please ring our lost & found xxxxxxxxxx take the cat to a vet to see if has been micro chipped, alternatively if you live near some of our fosterers (5 have microchip readers) they will do it for you. If there is no record perhaps you could on a long thin piece of paper write do I belong to you and your telephone number then attach the paper to a cat collar by wrapping sellotape round and round then put the collar on the cat if after 3 days you have received no reply take the collar off as they are considered dangerous and many cats have lost their life to them, ring us and we will put the cat on the list waiting to come in. If you ring Elaine xxxxxxxxxxs he will supply you with a paper collar which is very safe. PLEASE OFFER THE CAT SHELTER & FEED IT, I KNOW SOME ORGANIZATIONS SAY DON'T AND THEY IT WILL MOVE ON, HOWEVER IN OUR VIEW THAT IS CALLOUS, I AM SURE IF YOU LOST A PET IT WOULD BE NICE TO THINK SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE WAS CARING FOR IT. ALSO THE CAT HAS A GREATER CHANCE OF FINDING ITS OWNER OR COMING INTO CARE AS IT IS NOT ROAMING FROM STREET TO STREET LOOKING FOR ITS NEXT MEAL AND ENDANGERING ITS LIFE (exactly what happened in this case) .f the cat appears below par PLEASE contact us immediately and we will pay for the cat to be seen by a vet and if possible bring the cat in.
-
I am afraid we will now be looking for another home for Nelson, I cannot say anything on here, but the lady who was going to adopt him will be taking in another cat tomorrow, all I will say thats cats need is greater than Nelsons. I will put Nelsons pic on our gallery tomorrow and his pic will be in the paper this week anyway with Eric our vet when they write about him being in the last 3 in the Pet plan Vet of the year comp.
-
I'm sure you will find him a good home Ela. There will definately be plenty of interest with the PR ;D
-
We will Mark, I have put him on our site now although we have to keep him a little longer.
-
Aww, I am sure he wont be waiting too long Ela.
-
Aww, I am sure he wont be waiting too long Ela.
It is Aww but a necessity. All I will say is something old, something new, something BORROWED, (oops caps) something blue.
-
Thanks for the update and posting the picture Ela. Nelson is adorable.
I couldn't agree more with your advice about what to do if you find a lost cat which should be a blueprint. The usual sound advice that we have come to expect from you. Would you submit yourself for cloning? :clap:
I KNOW SOME ORGANIZATIONS SAY DON'T AND THEY IT WILL MOVE ON, HOWEVER IN OUR VIEW THAT IS CALLOUS
I wonder who that could be? Rhetorical! We hear the same comments in this part of the world from people who make me despair.
-
There was a cat I collected for Sharon a few weeks ago. The woman said he had been hanging round for days. I asked her if she had fed him. she said "no, I didn't want to encourage it". Also Sharon asked her if she could put him somewhere safe until he could be collected as she lived on a main road but she said she didn't want to put him in the shed as he would feel trapped and it would affect him :Crazy: . He ate 3 pouches of food before nodding off in my kitchen!. Sharon said the woman called last week to ask if she could adopt him - guess what Sharon said? (Stanley has been homed anyway ;D )
Pic of Stanley after his feed - he nicked Willow's chair :Luv:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
Awwwww mark he is lovely
-
He is adorable. We said at the time, if there was any way possible we would have adopted him ourselves. Even willow who hates other cats (including my other ones) wasn't bothered by him. He was hissing at her though and we have had a lot of stress issues with her (had the carper cleaner out 3 times this week!) so couldn't risk it. When I 1st picked him up, he was rubbing faces and purring - the perfect kitty :Luv:
-
Glad Stanley's got a new home. His markings look quite unusual.
-
Ive Just been on Ela`s site
nelson is sooooooooooooooooo beautiful bless him , i bet it wont be long before he finds his forever home , if i was a fosterer id be tempted to keep the ones like nelson that have really really had a bad time to ensure he will never ever go through anything bad ever again , he is so sweet :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: the music on Ela`s site makes me feel sad espec on the rehoming pages :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
if i was a fosterer id be tempted to keep the ones like nelson that have really really had a bad time to ensure
If we did that we would have over 1000 cats at any time. You cannot keep them no matter how endearing they are as you would soon be so full you would be able to take in any more. The idea of rescue is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome.
-
what a shame that lady fell through ela, I do hope you find the right home for nelson soon. has your friend said what type of character he is ? I would have thought abit nervy but maybe not if he let the kids catch him.
-
what a shame that lady fell through ela,
Long story lynn but another cat will benefit
has your friend said what type of character he is
He has a lovely nature, born to give love.
-
why is it that so often the neglected ones are the nicest, i suppose they are grateful of the luv and attention.
Ive known so many pampered puss's that are basically spoilt brats :-: (not mentioning any names :evillaugh:)
Oh well im glad the other deserving case is getting the ladies attention.
-
All I will say is something old, something new, something BORROWED, (oops caps) something blue.
Ela your cryptic messages make me laugh :)

Ela your cryptic messages make me laugh
You clicked then? Pm on its way

The little cat has been to the vets and is now booked in on Thursday for full bloods, a scan and X rays, so hopefully we will learn more then.
-
How is Nelson getting on, Ela?
-
w is Nelson getting on, Ela?
Do you know what, for a minute I had to think Nelson who's Nelson. As you know we have had so many problem cats to deal with in the last couple of days. I have also just has to authorise a very sick feral who was blind, deaf FIV and FeVL +be gently PTS, although I know it is necessary it still hurts.
Nelson is fine thank you and coming along very nicely.
-
Nelson and another cat Donna is fostering are going in today for Thyroid ops. I am sure both will be very soon back to full health and strength. Although the circumstance that Nelson came into our care was not good, in a way it possibly did him a favour as he now has all the necessary vet care to ensure a long and happy life.
-

Good luck to Nelson and the other little patient for their ops today.

:gpoint:
-
fingers crossed for nelson, you must let us know how he recovers ;D
-
do you know how they are doing Ela?
-
Both cats are recovering, thank you. Nelson also had to have loads of teeth out.
-
great to hear nelson and the other one are recovering ela.
-
I hope the hyperthyroid operations went well. I hope that the vet is keeping a check on calcium and liver enzyme levels. As we found out with Tarzan who had his thyroid glands and some teeth removed recently, calcium and liver levels can drop.
One problem with this operation is if the throid glands are very small, their removal can occasionally include the removal of much smaller parathyroid glands which can also affect calcium and liver efficiency. It is never the intention of vets to remove these glands but it is very delicate and fiddly surgery.
I hope the vet is monitoring this Ela.
-
You are totally correct pete, the paras are often attached to the thyroids are barely noticable by eye alot of the time. We alway had bilateral thyroidectomys hospitalised for at least 3 days post op with strict monitoring via blood tests. Its not quite so bad in unilateral removals if its the first side.
If it was Ela's normal vet i'm sure they would have been very particular as they always seem to be.
I do hope Tarzan has now recovered fully. Was this the little one that was always very thin or am i confusing with one of the others.
Nice to hear from you btw ;D.
-
The vet had stated before the op that they would do a dental later. However a couple of days befor the op Donna found 1 tooth that had dropped out in the bathroom and the mouth was in such a bad state that the vet had no choice but to do the dental as well.
-
poor nelson must have had a really bad tooth :(
Was it eric that donna deals with too ela ?
-
Was it eric that donna deals with too ela ?
Yes, he and his staff are our vets, they are the only vet we deal with.
-
thats good ;D
-
Hi Lynn,
Yes Tarzan had gone down to 2.5kg. He was so hyperactive and I should have spotted it earlier - no excuses. As I type he is looking at my computer screen. Since the operation he has slowed down as hoped. He now weighs 3.2 kg. The vet was always looking for him to be 3kgs. He is a small lad with a big personality. We don't want him to go beyond about 3.3kg as he is 3 legged and too much weight will hinder him.
I posted a picture of him on the gallery although I didn't reduce the size -through ignorance of how to do it.
Incidentally, totally unrelated and at a massive tangent, have you seen the veterinary surgery on the yellow pages advert? That was taken at my vets and features young vet Christie and nurse Mary? I haven't got their autographs yet :) :) :)
-
THis is great news Pete i am very pleased as you used to worry about his weight..now you can worry again but for opposite reasons LOL.
I had forgotten he had 3 legs. I hope he continues in good health.
PS nope i havent seen that pic but you can be sure i will look out for it now ;D
-
Glad everyone is doing well.
-
Here he is Lynn

I am sorry to say that little Nelson had to be gently PTS this morning, he started to fall over during the last few days and then started to toilet everywhere, he was taken to the vets on Saturday and placed in a pen for his own safety,but today he went down hill very fast, the vet said there was some medication she could give but the prognosis was not good and he would not have a quality life. Donna made the sad decision of the final act of kindness, rightly so in my opinion. At least he knew what TLC was during the last 7 weeks of his life.
Thank you to the member who contributed towards his vet bill.
-
oh no ! im so sorry :( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
RIP Sweetheart :candle:
-
I am so sorry to hear this. I take consolation from the fact that, rather than being left to wander alone or tortured at the hands of those teenagers, Nelson was loved and cared for at the end of his life.

Yes that is my sentiments exactly, thank you.
-
how upsetting, poor nelson :(
yes atleast he had warmth, care and kindness in his final weeks.
-
Just read this thread from start to finish as I hadn't seen it before now. I am so sorry to hear that Nelson has gone, as someone else has saod at least the last few weeks, he was able to experience kindness and love.
-
RIP little Nelson at least you knew kindness, love and that someone cared until the end
Have lots of fun at the bridge we have lots of our babies waiting to greet and play with you...always
xxxxxxxx
-
I am sorry to hear about poor Nelson, but at least he knew love and warmth, and didnt have to spend his last weeks in discomfort with his health issues. RIP little one.
-
So very sorry to hear this but, as everyone else has said, this dear puss knew what love and comfort was and that's what everyone needs at the end. You did all you could and Nelson is now waiting at the Bridge for you.
-
RIP Nelson. I'm so glad he ended his life loved and cared for.
-
Aw, Ela I'm very sad to hear this. He looked like a very lovely and dignified cat and I'm glad he was loved and cared for.
-
Hi Ela,
I've just seen this sad news. I'm so very sad that the little guy didn't make it. Like some of the cats that people discuss on Purrs, I feel that I knew him which is strange since I never had the privilege to meet him. :( :( :(
You described the symptoms but what did the vet diagnose?
RIP Nelson. I just hope that you witnessed love as you did towards the end for the majority of your life.
-
Ela,
Got some spare time today,
so have been catching up on threads that i havent read for some time and i was sad to hear the ^Nelson^ had to go to the bridge but Thanks to you he had a good last fews weeks
R.I.P ^Nelson^

-
You described the symptoms but what did the vet diagnose?
The vet thought he may have had a stroke. I know cats can often overcome a stroke but sadly Nelson was not strong enough to win the battle.

What a shame. I have 2 cats that had Strokes, Tango lived many years after and My Jeannie had one in about February and is still with me although she is now blind.
