I know Anka won't mind me posting this wobbly kitten video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipfFCj3Lz8s&feature=channel_video_title
Homes now found for the baby girls (with the white patches). Lucy and the 3 remaining kittens, all baby boys (all full tabbies) will be available from 30th November.
East London area.
-
awwww :Luv2:
-
Too cute! I was worried about the little one on it's own so was pleased to see Mum go over and sit next to him/her :Luv2:
It doesn't bare thinking about what would have happened to Mum and babies if Anka hadn't taken her in when she did. They're the lucky ones that's for sure!
-
Mum (lucy) is wonderful, isn't she? So young herself...
Six chunky kittens from (we think) her first litter. The fab news is that Anka has got her spay booked with Celia Hammond, so Lucy will be ready to be homed with one of her boys.
Lucy was rescued as a stray, her pregnancy too far along to stop.
Bless you Anka (and your daughter) for taking these seven lives and making this alright for them. :hug: :hug:
-
Sad to report one of the kittens has died :(
Baby Thomas was tiny and not responding like the others. He was taken to Celia Hammond but passed away at 5am. It's thought he may have had heart trouble.
So Poor Anka and her wonderful daughter, who are wholly creditted with the rescue and care of this fabulous little family, are devastated today.
RIP Baby Thomas, play hard at the bridge, little guy.
Lucy now has five kittens to nurse and wean, just two tabby boy kittens yet to find homes. Ready from Nov 30th.
-
So very sad but all you can do is be thankful for the ones saved :hug:
-
RIP Thomas
-
:( So sorry :hug:
RIP little Thomas xx
-
Finally, some wonderful news - a home has been found for Lucy! ;D
A lady who works from home has offered to take Lucy in when her kittens are ready. Thank goodness, her inner beauty shines through in the photos and the way she has cared for these beautiful kittens. :)
Now just the two remaining baby boys to find homes for. Still 4 weeks from ready but happily sampling kitty food :Luv2:
-
Sorry about Thomas :hug: :(
So great to hear the news for Lucy. :)
-
That's fab news, once her babies are old enough she'll be able to live the life of a kitten herself in her new home :)
-
Sheila - thank you so much for all your help and for keeping Lucy's and the babies info up to date.....
Whole Lucy's story can be found here - last 2 pages got very recent kitty photos :
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3533197
There is a lot of photos and videos on her thread on MSE if anyone wants to have a look.....
But all credit to my daughter, she has heard about Lucy and decided to take her on, she does all the work of looking after them - and she works full time and studies full time herself but between her and her b/f they decided to see this little family of kitties right to the very happy end. Lucy lives at my daughter;s and is being looked after there.
I am just the one over the net pulling resources and begging for help if we need it - and we had a lot of help and we are very grateful for it.
AS Sheila has mentioned, we have lost one of the babies yesterday morning, I guess it is just one of those things - he was born the smallest he was the last to open his little eyes and he was generally much weaker then the other 5 - my daughter rooh him to the vets late evening yesterday and he stayed there overnight but poor little mite died at 5 am...
I am sure our old cat Tiger who died last year (kidney cancer) is looking after litthe Thomas up there on the Rainbow Bridge :(
We have homes for 3 of the 5 kitties and for the little mum Lucy as Sheila mentioned - we are still looking for a lovely home for the remaining 2 little boys (we are 90% sure they are boys), they are both tabbies but with different markings.. photos attached :)
Shita - thanks a million again and thatnk to everyone visiting this thread and Lucy's thread on MSE - very much appreciated.
Anna
-
and of course there were more photos on old Lucy's thread on here.....if anyone wants to see :)

-
Lucy is gorgeous and hope the last two boys get a home ;D
-
Thanks Gill - had masses of emails from Lucy's new mum - she has ordered all she needs for Lucy already, including a posh cat carrier to collect her in, the lovely Cabrio, top opening one :)
Photos: Lucy relaxing away from the babies< auntie Fiona (silver tabby) and Phoebe (black and white), both my daughter's cats looking after the babies :)
-
and some more :)
-
I just love that top one.......Mother Love ;D ;D
-
Someone on another forum called it "Lucy recharging her batteries" LOL
-
Sheila - when you pop in here, could you please change the title that we now have 2 kitties looking for home (together) and we are in east London please? Thanks a lot.
We are 90% sure those 2 are boys. They will be ready to go from 23rd November as this is when Lucy is getting spayed and is off to her new home and mum in her poshCabrio carrier :) - they already eat solid kitty food and try to use the litter trays.... clever boys :)
The 2 that are looking for homes are:
-
Done.
Anka the photos are just adorable.
-
So, um, these boys definitely have to go together.................? :shify:
-
Yes, they have to go together.. :Luv2:
Bit of explanation to that - my daughter wanted to keep one but could not decide which one as she really likes both of them plus the b/f is tottaly against cat number 3 in their small privately rented flat and with his cat allergy and on their wages.
If only one was to go...
No, they have to go together I am afraid.... otherwise me and the poor b/f are in trouble...
They were handled from the day they were born, are very friendly and human oriented little mites but we really need them to go together to one house...
Besides - those 2 always "hang out" together for some reason. Weirs as the 3 that already have homes hang out together and the 2 that have not stick together too but separate from the other 3 - as if they know :)
-
Sheila - thanks a lot for changing the title... :thanks:
-
Bit of advice from more experienced fosterers-rehomers pls.
CH has offered to neuter Lucy for free and do Lucy's and kitties check up and worming and flea treatment for donation.
What would you feel the donation should be? I have absolutely no idea.
My daughter took carte of that little family for several weeks with great help from the MSE people who kindly ordered quite a lot of food either via durect sending it to us or sending us food vouchers which we used and put photos of what was bought for what money/voucher with receipts on Lucy's thread on MSE. So the cost as such was not great - cat litter, food top up and a lot of washing LOL BUt it would be very difficult to do it without help as I am out of work and have 3 cats and a large dog myself and my daughter has 2 cats and both she and her b/f are in quite low paid jobs.
So I am a bit worried about that donation bit to be honest.
We were offered some donation for the 3 kittes that are booked - this will go to Celia Hammond when I take Lucy for her spay and the kitties for worming/neutering on the 23rd.
Lucy's mum offered to cover Lucy's spay and microchip as she is taking Lucy on so Lucy is not a homeless cat any longer (Lucy will be chipped at the same time) but what do you feel the donatin for kitties should be?
I very much appreciate CH help and would like to leave them very much out of pocket as they are a charity but can not really contribute myself, neither can my daughter.
Any ideas?
It is 5 kitties that will be checked over, flea treated and wormed....
Thanks a lot.
-
Okay, let me ponder on it, I have the space, it's just whether it's entirely sensible to go from 2 to 4, although the two of them being able to keep each other company during intros is better........
But I also have to think about the budget for vaccinations as my two are due theirs too, so 4 at once is quite a lot.
Hmm. Decisions decisions.........
-
Where in London are you?
Do you have Celia Hammond anywhere near you?
They vaccinate for £20 per cat - they have a branch in Canning Town and Lewisham.....
2 kitties is nice, they keep each oter company little ones are are so much fun to watch....
I thought you have 3 or 4 cats already but if you ONLY have 2 ;)
-
And about being sensible going from 2 to 4.. ermmmmmmm

Haha! I think Lewisham is my nearest CH but it's a bit of a trek for vaccinations (I'm in Tooting). I should be able to afford it, some people just may get Christmas presents late.......... :evillaugh:
I did have three but Little Miss (the black and white little lady in my signature) went missing earlier this year :(
I'm still pondering...........

Oh, sory about Little Miss - she looks a lot like our Phoebe - one one of the photos with the kitties....
You keep on pondering then.... we are in East London, kitties ready on the 23rd November ... ;)
Not sure you seen the little videos?
:)
Forget the dog ones, just see the kitty ones - just learnt how to do it so going crazy with my "movies"

Just to re-iterate, am happy to help with transport to get these babies into their furever home...
-
Sheila - wohoooooooooooooooo, that would be lovely... :thanks:
Was just trying to imagine Feline Costumier with 2 kittis in a basket from Leytonstone to Tooting....on the tube.....
I mean when she stops pondering that is... of course... ;)
ermm ermmmm :naughty:
-
Sorry... just remembered something, completely off topic but pondering-thinking... LOL
Perhaps will make you laugh too.... :)

Made me chuckle, thanks Anka. :evillaugh:
-
Hey I brought Chilli and Dave down form Scotland on the train! Although admittedly chauffeur driven would probably have been their preference........... :evillaugh:
-
Oh.... still pondering then?
;)
-
OMG - just spoke to my daughter.. so you are not the only one pondering... she is STILL bugging her b/f to keep one...... they are thinking of the stipey one, the lighter colour one... sigh.....as he looks like the little Thomas who died :(
-
Well, I am most definitely still pondering, so if we all just draw our ponderings to a conclusion at the same time................ :shify:
-
Yup - that would be nice.......
I hope you and me are pondering the same.......
Told my daughter to make up her mind and finish those negotations by this evening as this is not getting anyone anywhere.
BUT she is the one who took Lucy in and looked/looked after the lot (they do nt live with me) I have to give her those few hours... sigh.....
She took it really badly when little Thomas died :(
-
Told her to let me know by 8pm - you happy with 8pm end of pondering time?
:Luv:
-
8pm is absolutely fine! I can ponder for days if needs be, in no rush at all. What will be will be, I didn't have much intentions of rehoming any kitties until at least the new year but best laid plans and all that!
-
OK- end pf pondering from my daughter's side - they just called me, they are not keeping a kitten, they are just not in a position for a cat number 3 for many reasons, one of them being the b/f being allergic to cats anyway so.....
2 kitties ready to go together to their forever home from 23rd NOvember....
Will have some new pphotos later on today :)
-
Okay, I'm continuing my pondering, I'll try to make it short :evillaugh:
-
LOL
You know I am joking here, do not want anyone to feel pushed into taking 2 kittens, I do realise it is a lot of extra responsibility and cost too.
But we really, REALLY want the to go together to the same home...
1 that goes on his own is going where there is 4 cats already, the other 2 are going together so those 2 - we would love to be together too, they are so cute and fun to watch when they play/chase one another little ones....
Lucy is going on her own but I have a feeling Lucy will enjoy to be the only cat at home, and she needs to be - and be spoilt rotten by her human slave after her tought start in life....
So - keep pondering but pls do not feel pushed in any way....
-
A ladyhas just msg me on another (MSE) forum asking about 2 kittens... Invited her here as we have so many kitties on the board, apart from Lucy's babies....
-
You might also bring Catchat to her attention, Anka.
Here's the link http://www.catchat.org/adoption/londone.html
I've cheekily directed the tlink to the East London resue page where Celia advertises. :innocent:
-
Sheila - she has already spoken to CH in Lewisham but they are taking ages for home check/decision... that puts lots of people off, shame as they have so many kitties at CH.... lots of people told me that they waited and waited for a home visit and nobody ever turned up so they got cats elsewhere... :(
-
That is a shame, I wonder what's wrong? :shocked:
There are plenty of other rescues both here on Purrs and Catchat. My friend runs London Cat Rescue in Finsbury Park and she does all the home checks herself, and her own fundraising, and delivers the cats personally using the tube and busses - a proper hero, a bit like yourself, Anka, but on a full time basis. :tired:
Her homechecks focus more on the quality of care and suiting the cat to the home, rather than a standard tick-list that so often includes gardens and catflaps (like some larger National rescue associations do).
Most independent rescues have more flexibility as they can offer more personal, tailored service.
-
Sheila- it is my daughter not me who took Lucy in and looks after her and babies.. credit to her not me.
BUT - if anyone knows of a pregnant homeless cat in need of a temporary home ... I have a spare room...... :Luv2:
I know CH provides all food and litter for their fostered cats, not sure if other recues do that too?
Called /emailed them several times with my offer but nobody got back to me :(
Can look after them but could not afford to finance it :(
YES - I do have a massive 35 kg of a German Shepherd killer dog, pls see for yourself... ;)
-
the first photo - yup, Zara was "feeding" George when he was tiney... then he used to give her a proper massage... George is really Zara's cat... sigh....
-
Those kitties from photos below are now all grown up but Zara loves kittens and cats in general - OUR ones that is, outside she still tries to chase them (wont allow her , she is on a lead) but whatever is at home is HER baby......
The 2 boys are with me, ginger George and Tabby Fred - I laso have a 7.5 kg silver Teddy with white socks and chest, he looks like s staff.... The 2 girls - Fiona (silver tabby) and Phoebe (black and white) moved out with my daughter last summer and are good aunties to Lucy's kitties now...
-
Wonderful pics ;D ;D
-
Fantastic pics :wow: :Luv:
Whoever adopts the last two babies will be the lucky one, that's for sure :)
-
Thank you :)
Got a bit side tracked, the main point is.... we are looking for a lovely home for those 2 cuties :)
-
From today - auntie Fiona (silver tabby) looking after Lucy's babies.. Phoebe (black and white) auntie - seems to be scared of them.... Lucy - to compare to Fiona and Phoebe (who both got double chins LOL) is just skin and bones... despite eating for 3-4 cats herself :(
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-BMh6udZvM
-
What a good Auntie Fiona is! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Love how Lucy was going from bowl to bowl topping herself up :evillaugh: It must be very draining on her raising the babies at such a young age herself, hopefully she'll fill out a bit once she goes to her new home. They all seem to get on very well considering how Lucy suddenly appeared in Fiona & Phoebe's house before giving birth and taking the place over with all the little ones!
-
Yes, Fiona is very good with the babies but my daughter has to keep an eye on Phoebe (black and white as Phoebe beats the ctap out of my 7.5kg Teddy when Phoebe stays over here ... Not sure if she is scared of the babies or just simply does not liek them but she is never left alone with them just in case...
Fiona though is absoutely great :)
And yes, Lucy will be picked up by her mum on the 23rd straight from the vets after her spay - and will be the only princess at home so hopefully will put on some weight then. She eats like a horse but with so many babies... she is just skin and bones poor thing :(
there is much more vidas of the kitties here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/OldGrumpyWoman
-
Brillian Pic's :wow:
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Just dropping in to say I am still torn, argh! They are absolutely gorgeous and definitely pulling at my heart strings. Why can't someone else just make the decision for me :doh:
-
OK, decision made - those 2 are YOURS LOL
-
On a serious note though - nobody can make the decision for you because it is YOU who would have to look after them and meet the cost of keeping 2 extra kittens and only YOU can decide if you are able to do it.
I know I can not, my daughter can not either - and believe me, after being there yesterday I personally would have BOTH of them little ones... they are just so much fun and so lovely - curious and funny.
As they were being handled pretty much from day one (as soon as they were dry LOL) - they will make wonderful pets. They really like to be picked up and stroked and made fuss of, very sociable little things...
Out of pure curiosity - I know you said you would definitely take one but are pondering about two... which one of the 2 did you have in mind? The dark (marble) one or the lighter (stripey) one? Just wondering..... ;)
-
Hehe, curiosity eh? Well, colouring doesn't matter to me, personality is the main consideration. I have a very boisterous 6.5kg boy and a mouthy (but really all mouth) girl so a confident little one who can hold their own would be best!
-
Well.... My Teddy is 7.5 kg so... my big cat is bigger than your big cat LOL
Still 2.5 weeks to go till the 23rd though so keep pondering - unless someone else comes along and decides to give a lovely home to both ....
Wish I ould afford an extra one (or two) but really can not - wrote this on my forehead now and keep on looking in the mirror to remind myself.
Especially since seeing them yeaterday..... :Luv2:
But with the 2 cats YOU describe ermmmmm 2 kitties could gang up against the 2 adults you see ;)
-
Pls meet Teddy LOL
The one below him is 4.5 kg Fred....
Teddy sleep like a suparman, ready to fly,......
-
I LOVE Teddy, can I just have him please? Dave's eyes would pop out of his head :evillaugh: I have a friend who already insists my Dave isn't a domestic cat so heaven knows what he'd make of Teddy!
Apparently, I've already made my decision, given that I'm picturing them destroying my Christmas decorations already, but I'm still somewhat in denial................
-
LOL - Teddy used to be my cat when he was a baby, then split up with ex who took Teddy, last year ex emailes me out of the blue that he can not keep him and asking if I will have him.....so Teddy is back with me (after few years).
He is tottaly useless as a cat - he comes home to eat/pee/poo and then destroys the draft excluder at the front door asking me (yeahhhh demanding) to be taken out again. I live in a flat (1 floor) so have to take him down and then go and get him again.
he is the softest cat I have ever seen BUT he will never cuddle up to you - he only comes to you when he wants out...
Total waste of money on cat food on that one if you ask me ;)
He lives here and at one of the neighbours - they have 2 kids and Teddy likes to go there, get in through a window and collapse on their bed/carpet/worktop for a nap.... sigh.... and I feed him, vaccinate him, flea/worm him.. sigh... total waste of money LOL
-
Oh yes, Xmas tree and kittens.. remember that one too well - one year was waking up and picking up EVERY single decoration off the floor and detanglisg kitties running around wearing tinsel and other bits and pieces..... Much easier when they swing on the curtains, isnt it? LOL

ermmmm them.. ermm plural LOL

I spotted that too - freudian slip or wishful thinking? :evillaugh:
-
not sure - how do you think we should take this?
:rofl:
-
FC - AND picking YOUR babies up you will meet Teddy too..... tempting, huh?
The babies pick up wil be from me, not from my daughter's..
I am picking them up from my daughter' s and taking Lucy and babies to CH in the morning of the 23, babies will be flea treated and wormed/checked over and are coming home with me here to wait for their mum's to pick them up.
Lucy's mum will be picking her up at CH where I will meet her when it is the time to collect Lucy after her spay/worming/flea treatment...
Will be a bit of military operation as I do not drive/have no access to a car and I am in between my Daughter (Leyton/Wathamstow) and CH (Canning Town) so bit of thought needs to go into this one.. sigh.... BUt as long as they are all going to be well taken care off this will be great....
:Luv2:
-
Damn you both and your cute babies!
I'm still in denial, I shall remain there for at least 1 hour a day until I either get sensible (not known for this) or give in (more likely).
I'm off to sulk/be excited.
I may also have filled my basket on Zooplus with what I would need should I ever decide to add some extra mouths, just for research you understand.............
-
Yup, research is good, research is brilliant - keep on researching.....
For research purposer - they all use litter trays now (daughter had to but the small ones with low sides as kitties could not get into the biog ones.. problem is the adult cats CAN get into the tiney ones so lots of sweeping going on)
Also for research purpose - the all eat kitten food now.. they still molest their mum but they also eat kitten food.
And, again for research purose - they will all be flea treated and wormed on the 23rd.... They were born on 5th October - so you can remember their birthday - for research purpose of course.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Can I mention that if you link to Zooplus (and loads of other great retailers like Amazon and John Lewis) via Easyfundraising . org.uk you can donate up to 2.5% of your purchase to the (cat ?) charity of your choice, for free? :briggin:
Registration is free, everything else is just shopping as normal.
Christmas shopping anyone?
-
I use the Purrs link (when I remember :-[), same deal, it just goes in the Purrs fundraising coffers ;)
-
Teddy is just one gorgeous hunk ;D ;D
Size is all relative lol and it was when I saw him with all the other cats eating :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: and with front end on the cat tree and back end on another level ;D
I thought Misa was big at 6.5 kgs!
-
Thanks everyone.....
And just for those PONDERING.. just the 2 special kitties ;)
-
and....
-
front end on the cat tree and back end on another level ;D
Yo do not meat this one by any chance? LOL THis was the old cat tree, they have much bigger one now, EVEN Teddy fits on the new one hehehhehe :)

Last time I took him to the vets for his vaccinations, vet lifted the basket and started telling me off for having a cat that is THAT overweight..... then he saw Teddy coming out and his eyes popped out (vet's not Teddys, Teddy is calm as a cucumber), and vet asked me if that PUMA is going to kill him LOL
Teddy just sat there, was not botehred by the needle, took a worming tablet, allowed his ears to be checked... classy cat LOL
-
Ok 2 weeks to go ... not much time left to find lovely homes for those 2 cuties....
Wish I could find a job NOW and just keep them :Luv2:
-
Anka, Teddy is a very handsome beast :Luv: :Luv:
-
Ahhhhhhhhhhh my missing post LOL............yes I did mean that picture :rofl: :rofl:
-
Thank you - went out to call him home from communal garden yesterday about 6pm - he was passed over to me from downstairs neihbours via the window.. he goes there to play with the kids..... Teddy like kids and only comes home to eat/poo/pee... what a waste of cat food ;)

Oh if only there was someone looking for two kittens, I'd drive them anywhere to ensure a good home.
Anyone? :help:
I'm a very very good driver and generally do the whole south -north - south run every couple of weeks?????
Kittens need to be promised by the 23rd, please, please?
-
Still looking for a lovely home for those 2 little cuties......
-
Are there any local vets you could put a notice up in?
-
Tried all the usual when Lucy was still pregnant....
Don't want to advertise them as "for sale", want really good cat mad homes for them.....
Or they will have to stay and I REALLY cant affor 2 extra cat, honest :(

Wohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
JUST got an email from Hazel who adopted Chloe from me (long story but despite Zara's best efforts, hloe hated the dog and was clawing poor Zara at every opportunity and then sulking under the bed... - she has a lovely home with Hazel now) and her friends are lookign for... 2 little tabby boys... :)
Fingers crossed :)
-
:crossed: :wow:

Thanks Tiggy's mum.....
Chloe landed so well on her paws with Hazel and Patric, they are overjoyed with her - her purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect personalicy is shining now that she is the only cat at home and a spilt little princess :)
Hazel is cat mad and so I trust her recomendation of friends adopting the 2 boys completely....
So,, fingers and paws crossed all goes well :)

I would never alter the title or move the thread until you said they'd definitely found a home.
You can alter the title the title yourself when you post to say they've been homed by clicking the modify tab on your very first post.
Fingers crossed for them xx

Anka, little Thomas is where he was destined to be.
He had the best chance of survival, but it was just his time to leave.
You didn't fail him, you saved him. :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Unfortunately, the people who were apparently so keen on 2 baby tabby boys pulled out - they want to wait after the New Year:(
-
Oh No :( Fingers crossed another home can be found for them :hug:
-
That's a shame, their forever home will be out there though :hug:
-
:(
-
That is a shame :(
Just to pop in and say, I made the decision not to offer them a home as there will be no-one home during the day to help socialise them well as I work full-time and do have quite a long commute. After much soul searching (as I have fallen a little bit, ok, a big bit in love with them) I decided I'm possibly not the best home for such young kittens :'(
I really hope their forever home is out there.
-
They are absolutely adorable but going from two to four cats is such a big jump, especially as like you say you'll be out for a good portion of the day - sadly I think you've made the right decision :hug:
Have everything crossed these two little cuties can find that perfect home Anka :hug:
-
I have a horrible feeling I may need to find homes for 4 not just 2, will see by Wednesday...
-
oh no I hope not
-
Oh dear, I hope not too :scared: Are there any local rescues that woul put them on their website for you as a direct rehoming?
-
Uffff, the 3 and Lucy confirmed 100%

Just goes to show... it ain't over till the cat lady sings :evillaugh:
-
Yup... and with YOUR singing we shall expect you on the XFactor soon ;)
-
The babies started their 3 day course of Panacur today so needed to jump on a kitchen scale ;)
Jo's kitten 450g
Little stripey boy - 500g
Little marble boy - 400g
Sonia's girl with red collar on - 500g
Sonia's other girl - 450g
they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow so I assume this is correct weight for them at this age?
All 4 I got last year were around 350-400gram when I got them... must have been younger than 6 weeks then - BUT they had auntie Zara to cuddle up to at mine ;)
All babies eat/drink by themselves and are happy to use litter trays for both pee and poo so.....:)

The last one.... possibly staying with me although I am REALLY trying to avoid it as REALLy should nto be taking on another cat purely for financial reasons but.. as I was not able to find a home where I would be happy for the kitty to go to.....

Good luck tomorrow and hope everything goes well :hug: :hug:

Good luck for Lucy and the little ones :hug: It would be lovely if you could keep one of the babies but I know what you mean about the finances :hug:
