 :welcome: to Purrs Sue  :)

Hope you'll enjoy it here, it's a great site full of friendly helpful advice if ever needed and of course lots of fun  ;D I must warn you that it is a teensy bit addictive though  :evillaugh:

When does your kitten come home? Do you have any pics?  :wow:

 :thanks: all for your lovely messages.. it's kind of spooky as a few moments after I posted on here the coordinator rang me and told me that infact there was a slight change and I will be taking in a cat by the name  of Suzy 2yrs old found with a litter of kittens in a shed (bless her) she is an indoor cat and that Im afraid is all I know..

I'm so excited though like a kiddie in a toy shop about to get a new toy lol.. I WANT HER HERE NOW.. lol

Ive had cats before but due to a nasty x-husband whom I had to flee end of 2007 I had to part with my old Cat Soxboy whom I miss more than words can say.. but thankfully he went to one of my friends relatives and is happily now living a wonderful life elsewhere..

So now a year on after a really long 2008 .. refuge.. divorce etc. .. my 3 year old son and I are settled and want to complete our family with a Cat . who truly make a family complete  and I can't wait to pick Suzy up and bring her into our home

So I must apologise for the post about a Kitten.. slight change of plan lol (glad I didnt buy too much kitten food will donate that to the CPL when I collect the cat)

Will get picture on here soon as I can

Thank you all again xxx

Just thinking .....
Has Mum got a kitten left they you could rehome with her ?

Hi Michelle

Unfortunately all her kittens have been rehomed - kittens seen to be easier to rehome I think.. I don't mind so much having an older cat.. just be really glad to have her here.

We have always had cats so my son is not prone to pulling tails or other nasty stuff he is as good as gold with them I taught him very young - from what I know suzy is very good with children and I honestly can't wait till Friday morning when I pick her up ..will let her settle and so much fuss when she is ready

It will be hard Im sure to start without her little ones but I hope in time she will be ok

Don't worry, she will get over her babies ....once the actual parting has been done  :'(  cats do tend to get over it quiet quickly
