Aww, I am so sorry, but at least she had care, love and attention, and given every chance possible, they aren't all that lucky. RIP little one.

I just got back from the vets and the nurse was covering reception. She told me that Hope had passed. I told her that I already heard. The sad thing is. The nurse said that she was so beautiful, she had decided to keep her if she pulled through even though she has 5 already. She told me the story of one of her cats (she said Hope was a spit of her as a kitten) who disappeared for a year. Went missing on Halloween and came home exactly a year later on halloween! - for a black cat, some people could read into that!.

Anyway, she said when they took hope in, she was very poorly but after kitten milk etc she seemed a lot better but suddenly went downhill today. She was upset about it.

RIP little Hope, go and play with my little babies that went to the Bridge a couple of weeks ago. xxx

RIP in Hope, say hello to George when you get to the bridge

Mark · « **Reply #23 on:** June 06, 2007, 15:17:46 PM »

Sorry Sharon,

I know that all that could be done, was. I know that she was at the vets but better than on a building site. The girls there are great. I know how the nurse was with Clapton and she obviously cares.

RIP poor little Hope xxx

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but little kitten Hope passed away this afternoon, she was in a very bad way and vets tried as much as they could to save her but it wasnt meant to be.. Mark thanks again for offering to take this one on.

Gill emailed me at the vets to say Hope was very very poorly and its touch and go at the moment.... So not really good news I am afraid...

Sorry Sharon, keeping fingers crossed for poor Hope. I'm sure she is in good hands with RB

Sending Hope lots of love and hugs, keep fighting little one. xxx

It's a nice name

I won't be the one calling her in at night with the neighbours thinking I'm barking

Hope (no pun

) there is good news today.

I have to take Clapton & Willow to be Drontal'd at 5pm so I will ask (If she's not too poorly, I will ask for a quick peep at her too

)

LesleyW · « **Reply #17 on:** June 06, 2007, 09:38:43 AM »

I think Hope is a lovely name and I hope Hope is doing well today?

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #16 on:** June 06, 2007, 08:35:26 AM »

Hi all
Hope it good i think, if anyone thinks so....

Elpida is Greek for hope but the English version is better i feel..

Will update you as soon as i know...

Mark · « **Reply #15 on:** June 06, 2007, 00:06:06 AM »

Althea is greek for healing

I keep thinking "see me in my pants & ting" (althea & donna - uptown top ranking)

Female names meaning "black"

Devaki : female Indian name

Kala or Kali : female Hindi name

Kanika : female Egypitan name

have a look at this site for "Black" names: http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names/colourblack.htm

Millys Mum · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2007, 20:03:00 PM »

Bless her, i hope she pulls through. What about calling her Hope?

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2007, 20:00:48 PM »

Sorry not be keeping up to date with this.. I feel totally worn out lately and really need a holiday (coming up soon) so more things then ever to do... But Mark has kindly updated already.. Puss is still at the vets and they will be emailing me tomorrow with an update.. I am trying to think of a nice name for this little one, any ideas as she is proving to be a little survivor... She is black all over, I thought of Eve but a African or Greek name for lucky etc would be nice.. Rather then callling her poorly puss, plus it may mean abit more luck...

Mark · « **Reply #11 on:** June 05, 2007, 19:32:31 PM »

Again - updating for Sharon.

Kitten survived the night but has an infection and is weak. The vets receptionist took her home last night. The girls at the vets are going to look after her until she is a bit stronger. Also she is on meds.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #10 on:** June 05, 2007, 10:02:01 AM »

I havent heard from the vets yet... But as soon as i do will post something...

kelly-joy · « **Reply #9 on:** June 05, 2007, 08:14:36 AM »

Hows the little one today?

Mark · « **Reply #8 on:** June 04, 2007, 18:38:21 PM »

Just in case you are sticking with plan a, I have one set of guests in and will be done with breakfast by 10am so at your disposal

Edit to say maybe a little later than 10am as due to the fire alarm incident last night, it's 8.30 and no sign of life from them yet

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2007, 17:43:01 PM »

Hi all
Sorry for not gettting back to on this.. Its been a mad house today.. Hardly got any work done...What Mark says is right and at the moment this is the plan (and only plan) alot more people have come forward Mark including Caroline another fosterer who is a nurse so used to doing shifts. However, she is in and out alot during the day and already has 5 kittens to take care of...

indeed this is maddeing at the beginning of last week i rehomed 14 kittens and 4 mums and from today had calls for just about the same number to come into our care becuase people cannot afford to take care of them.. The lastest a 16 wk old male white and tabby, on Sunday a 15 week old Lola tortie who was being terrorised by the local kids... Caroline now has a creche of kittens (all vac by the way) as its the only way we can deal with numbers...

Kitten is at the best place at the vets and hopefully can report on good news tomorrow.... No one found any siblings at all...

Now I need a cuppa!

Mark · « **Reply #6 on:** June 04, 2007, 17:25:04 PM »

I'm sure Sharon will update but she's at work at the moment.

The kitten is being kept in one more night at the vets (the same one I use). If she survives (please let her). Sharon has arranged for a fosterer round the corner from me to do the night shift and me to do the days - I think that is what Sharon is going for - she is sorting out food etc with the vet. I hope Sharon doesn't mind me giving this update but I know some people are wondering what's happening.

LesleyW · « **Reply #5 on:** June 04, 2007, 17:03:12 PM »

Pushing back up, if anyone can help

JackSpratt · « **Reply #4 on:** June 04, 2007, 15:02:15 PM »

Can anyone offer transport? I'd be happy to help but I'm miles away! PM me if you think anyone could.

LesleyW · « **Reply #3 on:** June 04, 2007, 13:36:35 PM »

If there was any way to get it down to me on the South Coast, I would be happy to hand rear, it is what I specialise in, of course, the only trouble is the journey and feeding throughout but if a convoy could be arranged I would be happy to travel some of the way.

Mark · « **Reply #2 on:** June 04, 2007, 12:23:09 PM »

Sharon,

I can do it during the week if someone can take over friday evening. I will be here all the time (I can skip jaunts to canterbury for a week)

I could keep her in my attic room til Friday away from other cats.

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #1 on:** June 04, 2007, 12:14:02 PM »

Having abit of a crisis here... Our local vets contacted us this morning... A young kitten found on a building site.. Around 4 to 5 weeks old... Very week and may not survive... They have it in their care today but we need a person (very dedicated person) who can assist or be able to take on such a poorly puss... She is femaile around 5wks old but maybe youger.. Care needed for at least the next 2 weeks.. Fosterers this end work (as do I?) and that committment for hourly feeds is just too much..is there anybody who may be able to help.. Puss may not survive but if she lasts the night there may be hope....!

One of our fosterers can do the night shift she lives in Whitstable but daytime is a real problem...

Oh my has it been a very busy morning...
