And finally
Oliver and Toby the last reminders of those wonderful cupboard cats have left for their new home this evening  :)

Somehow I think we may be hearing more from them  :)

Wonderful news T  :)

I have a feeling that their pics will appear on the forum soon  :sneaky:

Dawn I often think that some of what we define as cruelty is neglect through ignorance; these poor cats were treated so cruelly yet the woman who cared for her retarded adult son had no idea; on reflection I think she was deeply depressed and shutting them in that foul place was her only way of coping. I am not defending her but perhaps a better system of education and a support network for people like her may have prevented this misery.
I will add that on the day I rescued this lovely family of cats I really wanted to kill the woman and felt she was so cruel; a few days of being in her shoes coping with the piddle and poop made me think differently. I guess its a case of "There go I but for the grace of God"

I was having a quiet moment at work yesterday and have only just read the whole thread - you really are amazing T, I'm so glad you saved them from such a cruel existance and I'm glad them some have forever homes.  I am always interested in cases like this, is it ignorance or cruelty that leads to these situations?

Its pictures like that that spur you on to do a little more; when I look back to seeing them all emerge from that blackened cupboard and all the piddle poop everywhere and I see them as they are now I feel honoured to have been able to make that difference.


Just imagine how those cats feel, from neglect, filth and fear to a life of love and luxury in a few weeks, all thanks to you.

Teresa, you've worked wonders with those cats! They actually look like they trust people.  :) Really glad they've found new homes, and shouldn't think Amelia and her babies will find it difficult either - they're stunning!

What gorgeous little munchkins - they appear to be a source of considerable concern to Amelia - what is she whispering into that kittens ear I wonder?? :Luv:
She was washing the kitten and at same time saying " Get away from the mad human with the camera"  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I think it was 'this is the one we wrap around our little paws, I'll teach you how to make slaves of these people'  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Is there anything more gorgeous than the blue of a kitten's eyes?  :Luv:

T I'm not allowed to visit. Even for the stories I need. I will not visit. If I do the cat carrier will be in the back of the car waiting for little ickle babies and mum to get in there.

They are fabulous! Scrummy yummy babies.  :doh:

Teresa, the one on the right looks like a shaded and the one second from left looks like a smoke.

That's pretty rare in non-pedigrees, there has to be a ped in the mix somewhere, either Persian or BSH I'd imagine as they're the commonest breeds to carry that particular gene.

I believe it's a recessive, which would figure as these little ones are probably inbred due to the circumstances in which these poor cats were found. Either way, they're stunning T!  ;D More pics pleeeeeeeeeeeease!  ;D
