I went into the garden this morning about 10:00 am to hang out the washing and was greeted by a stunning little ginger boy (about 4 months old I'd say). Had never seen him before but he was very freindly ... I gave him a little stroke, hung out the washing and left him playing in the sunshine.
I was going to see one of my friends about 1:00 andbefore I went out I called my lot and got them back indoors. Little Ginger boy was still in the garden :-:
I got back home about 7:00 and when I opened the back door to let Zephyr out, who was sat on the doorstep .... little ginger boy! He came running straight in (much to Zephs surprise) and dived straight into the food bowl!! I have gave him something to eat and drink and left the back door open so he could "go home". All he did was go to the litter tay and have a pee and a poo :shocked:
I went upstairs and had a bath and have come back down to find the little lad happily playing with a toy mouse.
I really don't want to put him out again as he has obviously been in the garden all day ... I did try and put him out and shut the door but he just cried ... so it looks like he might be staying the night unless someone comes looking for him!
He is absolutely GORGEOUS.
-
Oh what a beauty he is!!!
-
Oh he is a beauty can see why you don't want to leave him out all night on his own. Could be worth putting posters up to say you have found him. It could of been his trip out after being vaccinated and he has got a bit lost.
-
I don't have printer a t home so can't do many posters ... but I have done a few hand written ones and put them at the end of my road and a couple of the neighbouring roads (we are all terraced houses round here). So hopefully I'll get a call about him. He is currently sound asleep on the sofa (proper dead to the world) ... poor little lamb is exhausted after being awake all day I guess! :tired:
-
He's is gorgeous :)
especially picture 2
-
What a beauty :Luv: His owners must definitely be missing him but he is obviously streetwise enough to sniff out a crazy cat lady to look after him :naughty:
-
He is stunning and is obviusly a loved pet ..... he's really cuddly ... but far too young to be out on his own now. Espeically round here ... boy racers all come out on a Sunday evening and I wouldn't be able to sleep if I left him out.
I can't believe no-one has called about him yet .... surely someone must be walking the streets looking for him.
-
Haha....are your numbers rising again, Sam? ;) Hope his mum gets in touch soon, otherwise he'll have a new one.
He is gorgeous. :)
-
What a little hunk :Luv2:
Well done Sam - so what if there are no calls? :shify:
-
So you have a sign post to - good digs this way! ;) He is a cutie :Luv2: and someone must be missing him
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: One gorgeous ginger boy there Sam - paws under the table and making himself comfy or what? :naughty: :hug:
Mary
-
He is really lovely and obviously was looking for a nice pad to get some food and a kip ;D
I used to think that Kocka was much too nice to not have an ownere but reckon she was dumped and looked for a house without a cat, she didnt like other cats but was very well trained and no kidddy kat but she was new to the area and no one was looking for her.
-
Hes adorable - and knows a good thing when he's found it I reckon! ;)
-
What a little hunk :Luv2:
Well done Sam - so what if there are no calls? :shify:
Well I've had no calls about the little man .... he spent the night asleep on the bed. I put him in the spare room but he decided that my bed looked much better and I was woken up with him purring like a tractor and kneading away on my arm. I had Foxy on one pillow, Rossi at the bottom of the bed and "Ginger Man" next to me. Zephyr sleeps downstairs on the sofa and Ollie sleeps in the kitchen.
Going to print off some posters today which I'll stick round the area and see what happens next. I don't really want another kitty but he is rather gorgeous ;)
-
Aww look at him :Luv2:
Sam I would try putting a poster up in the local shop, this is what I done with Floss and her owner called 2 days later, she had escaped while the door was open :naughty:
-
He's adorable :Luv:
-
Went home at lunchtime to check that Zephyr hasn't beaten "pumpkin" up. I needn't have worried everyone was sound asleep ... Ginger Man (aka Pumpkin ;)) was curled up on a jumper in the middle of my bed :Luv2: :Luv2:
No sign of any posters / flyers yet and still no call. I put a poster up in the local newsagent and replaced my handwritten notices so we shall see if that prompts any response tonight. I get the impression that Pumpkin lives with other cats as he is totally NOT phased by my lot and I have a suspicion he knows a tortie / dark cat as he really has a thing for Rossi. He kept trying to get close to her on the bed last night ... but she was having none of it, and every time she moves he follows her and tries to play with her.
I have added his details to the "lost and found" section and will put him on the NPR and Mymoggy tomorrow if no response tonight.
-
Aw he's a cutie, part of me says I hope you find his meowmy, but then the other part knows what an amazing life he'd have with you ........ am torn :evillaugh:
-
Five cats....yep, you could manage that. ;) He is a sweetie and it's great that none of the others are bothered by him.
-

Zephyr isn't very impressed ..... he keeps Yowling (very loundly) at the poor little soul but Pumpkin isn't bothered at all (which makes me think he is from a multi cat house).
-
Sam you would never notice the potential number 5 afterall he is already on your bed! :innocent:
-

LOL stop it Liz. It's alright for you living in the middle of nowhere (with a husband) ... I'm a single women (trying to attract a man) living in a small terraced house! My neighbours already think I'm a crazy cat lady :rofl:
-
Silly question I know, but does he still have his plums? I'm assuming he does.
He is rather :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: All he needs now is a name ;)
-
yes he's still got his plums ;) and his name is gonna be PUMPKIN!
-
You know once you names them , you has to keeps them........................ :sneaky:
-
So he's got a name now then... ;) Name, sleeping on the bed.... He's got his paws well under the table.
-
He is NOT staying >:( ..... He must have a home.
He had his paws under the table about 2 minutes after he walked through the door and used the litter tray! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: (Zephyr's face was a picture).
-
Liar, liar, pants on fire :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
NOT staying............ you've named him and I don't think we have a pumpkin on Purrs, so you have to keep him now - unless his owner turns up ;)
Mary
-
There's a Lilly Pumpkin. She's a special needs cat and is rather lovely. (See picture - she's one of Blackpool Cats in Cares former residents.)
Sam, do you think Zephyr is really annoyed or just making sure the young 'un stays in line?
-
Just got back from the vet and surprise surprise NO microchip :(
Vet thinks he's about 4 months old!
I think Zephyr is just mouthing off to keep baby in his place. He hasn't swiped at him or anything just hissed and yowled alot! :evillaugh: Zephyr is a typical "Foreign" ... all mouth.
-
I think boy cats just know a girl cat when they meet one :rofl: :rofl:
Franta just loves Sasa, another tortie, and he managed to get his paws in her tummy fur once,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,she was not pleased and hates him LOL
Pumpkin is a great name ;D ;D ;) ;)
-
Sorry Sam, I foresee your feline family growing by one. You know it's supposed to be lucky keeping cats that "find" you. (And it's happened to you twice..... ;))
-
Sorry Sam, I foresee your feline family growing by one. You know it's supposed to be lucky keeping cats that "find" you. (And it's happened to you twice..... ;))
3 times!!!!! Rossi (was a sort of find) .... Olly ...... and now Pumpkin :Crazy:
-
I want another cat to find me!!! :'( Then my OH couldn't argue!!!!
-
I didnt know you had an Olly Sam lol, or have I just forgotten? ;D
-
Another ginger visitor that Sam ended up adopting after neighbours moved. ;)
-
I agree that he looks like a cat who has an owner as he seems well cared for and very friendly. The lack of microchip is probably just because most people get their kittens chipped at the same time as neutering. I'd guess he has escaped somehow and got himself lost. But if no-one claims him, I think little Pumpkin has found himself a home! Clever boy.
-
Aww Pumpkin is stunning, there is no way you wont let him stay if nobody claims him is there Sam ?? :Luv2:
-
Well FYI and to all those people that don't believe I won't keep him .... I have lined up a new home for the little ginger man (assuming no-one claims him).
One of my mum's friends has offered him a home. She has two oldies and she recently adopted 2 kittens (sadly one of the kittens got out of the garden and was killed on the road). They have just spent a small fortune "cat proofing" the whole garden to keep the other little one safe and were thinking of getting a new playmate for him. So I have said I will keep Pumpkin for 2 weeks and if no-one has claimed him by then .... he will be transported to his new home in the country (it's about 20 mins drive from me). So even if his parents turn up at a later date he can still be easily transported back.
So good news all round really.
-
Sounds like he's got a great new home lined up if he's not claimed ;D
-
That's not very fair on the little fella, he picked you :(
:evillaugh:
-
Good work, Sam. Can you ask around for Gizmo? ;)
-
Pumpkin did the right thing coming to you - fantastic news.
Mary :hug:
-
I might pop around to do a spot of catnapping before he gets whisked off to his country seat.
-
That's not very fair on the little fella, he picked you :(
:evillaugh:
He picked me to HELP him ... and that's what I'm doing! Stop with the guilt trip! :rofl:
-

Nooo. Can't you see, he wants to live with you. He's already made himself at home.
You are the chose one.
:naughty:
:evillaugh:
-
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
OMG the pressure :rofl: :rofl:
-
You lot are soooo mean to me :rofl:
-
Look at that little face in the 2nd pic you posted. He is saying "please auntie sam, can I stay here?"
-
Look at that little face in the 2nd pic you posted. He is saying "please auntie sam, can I stay here?"
No he isn't :shify:
He is saying "Please mummy don't send me away" :innocent:
-
I'm NOT listening .... la la la la (fingers in ears) :rofl:.
-
Last night when I was in bed I heard a crash and thump and it seems that Ginger Man tried to jump from the end of the bed onto the my dressing table. He seemed fine at the time no crying of anything so I put him back on the bed and went back to the sleep. Got up this morning and he was curled up in the bottom of the wardrobe looking really sad . He had used his litter tray in the night but when I called him for breakfast he didn’t get up! I picked him for a cuddle and he was purring away as usual but he won’t put any weight on his front leg. I have checked him all over and there are no obvious breaks so I’m guessing he has just sprained something but I have made an appointment at the vet for 5:50 this evening just to on the safe side.
Poor little man looks so sad and quiet.
-
Knowing cats its probably more of a bruised ego than anything else, but best to get him checked out :hug:
-
that's what I'm hoping Clare but as he's so small and delicate I'd rather be safe than sorry :(
-
So lets get this straight - he has a name, he sleeps on your bed, you're taking him to the vets for a check up after his bedroom antics but you're NOT keeping him? :naughty:
P.S Hope it's just a sprain but give him a gentle :care: from me and the boys
-
I refuse to put pressure on Sam (instead I will send vibes.... :evillaugh:) - hope the handsome Pumpkin gets on OK at the vets.
-

No, instead you're just passive aggressive. We'll not mention the oriental incident shall we :innocent:
Pumpkin is absolutely gorgeous, how you could send this little boy away when he chose you and even sleeps with you, is just cruel if you ask me!
-
:P No, let's not.... ;)
I just know good cat homes when I see them and want all the kitties to be safe; is that so wrong? ;D
-
That ginger cutie is adorable, hope his leg is ok?
-
Oh no hope he's ok :hug:
-
Awwww poor little Pumpkin :hug:
-

Well what would you do Helen ... call him "oi", make him sleep outside and leave the poor mite to suffer in silence if he was hurt!???? I don't think so! :naughty:
BTW ... you forgot the fact that I went to Pets at Home last night and bought Felix Kitten pouches and Applaws kitten dry :rofl:
-
poor little chap hope he's running around soon.
-
Now Sam buying all that kitten food means he will be staying more than 2 weeks - what if he needs cage rest how's that going to fit on the bed :rofl:
Hope Pumpkin gets on well at the vet - of course as his "owner" you will be responsible for all his bills and bit removal :sneaky:
-
:P :P :P
If he needs cage rest Liz .... it better be a big cage cuz I'll probably end up in there with him! :rofl:
-
Now you know what this is - he is self harming at the thought of being moved. If you let him stay, he will stop. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Joking aside, I hope it is nothing serious and Pumpkin will be back to normal in no time.
-
Well you'll have to register him at the vets and you'll have to give your name.
-
And get him insurance under your name, plus one of those microchip thingies, just to make sure ......
Oh and then you might want to change your profile and add 'Pumpkin' to the name list ;)
-
You cant make Pumpkin leave now :hug:
-
Awwww he's all injured and sad , you can't turn him away now!! :( :( ;)
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You lot are on top form today, I am laughing out loud! You ought to keep him Sam, then help your mum's friend find another youngster to adopt, there are soooooooooo many needy souls ....
-
I do hope Pumkin is OK :hug: :hug:
-
It's because he is ginger isn't it. He reminds you of Bonnie Langford.....
-
Hoping that "your" (well he will be soon :rofl:) little Pumpkin got on okay at the vets and that he is all better soon.
He is absolutely stunning x
-
The STRAY (aka Pumpkin)is feeling alot better thanks. But I am so pleased I took him to the vet tonight .... turns out he hadn't injured himself. The poor little lamb had a temperature of 40.2 degrees!!! The vet said it was probably a virus. :scared:
He has had a jab of antibiotics, jab of anti-inflammatories and a 5 day course of penicillin. He is nowmuch better ... within 1 hour of having the jab he has perked up no end and had a whole packet of kitten food :)
I, on the other hand, am now £40 lighter in the pocket :rofl: But thank goodness I took him tonight before the "bugs" really kicked in.
FYI HE IS NOT STAYING!!!
-
Phew that was lucky Sam!! Glad he is feeling better :)
-
Glad you caught the bug early :hug:
You don't want to be wiping eyes as he get older :innocent:
-
So totting up food costs and vet fees, your investment in this "stray" now stands at approximately, say £60?
Big spends for an unwanted "stray" you named Pumpkin who has slept on your bed from day one......................

Oh yeah, and that :naughty:
Seriously though, so glad his Mummy Auntie picked up on him being off colour and hope he's back to his best soon enough :hug:

Your right hun it is a"big investment" perhaps this should serve as a warning to other potential owners! Kittens may be small but they are not cheap ;). I'm just pleased it was me that found him and I was in a position to be able to help him.
The vet did say that he might have picked up the germs from my lot .... they are adult so any sniffles that they could have been carrying wouldn't have affected them but with Pumpkin being so young and obviously not having had his jabs his immune system isn't developed yet.
-
and where is he sleeping tonight?
-
So pleased he found you :hug:
-
There's no way on this earth I could let Pumpkin go if I found him in my garden! Especially after letting him integrate with your current furbaby family! I think you'll miss him terribly ..... :sneaky:
He is super duper cute! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Poor little mite. Good job he's got you to look after him. So the vet doesn't think he's had his vaccinations?
-

It's hard to say Susanne .... but she suspected not. :-:
and where is he sleeping tonight?
Well that's a silly question .... if you're feeling poorly you go to bed - and seeing as there is only one double bed in the house we had to share! :evillaugh:
-
Only just spotted this thread. :sneaky:
You lot are mean! Sam did the decent thing and took in a poor lost soul and gave him shelter and look you lot are like. :innocent: :evillaugh:
I reckon someone's going to came back home from hols pretty soon (maybe even stranded due to one of these travel firms going bust?) and find the trusted friend/relative who is supposed to be looking after their beloved ginger kitten has let him out. :scared: They'll be devastated. :( Look at him... he's no stray. I seen enough strays or dumpees in my life. Someone has been taking great care of him. :naughty: He's been allowed to escape by some careless visiting feeder I reckon. :tired:
-
Sam you could of called him sweetie pie as in the affectionate term but oh no you gave him a name lol. He looks at you so adoringly and so trusting and you going to make him leave you and go miles away from the person he chose to be his guardian. You should know by now that you don't own the house the cats do.
Just think of this saying "You don't share your home with the cat, the cat shares its home with you" if they are not happy they leave and he chose you to share his home with.
You know he has left his little pawprints on your heart already. Deep down you know he is really home and he classes you as his meowmy. He will cry for his meowmy and you will make him feel rejected if you send him away.
PS So glad you caught him early with the virus and he has not got a poorly leg.
-
Some pics of the poorly boy :(
-
So it seems that he is making you feel guilty and run after him cause he's not well - and you say he's not staying!!!!
Me thinks Pumpkin could have a lot of vets visits just to ensure he will be staying :sneaky: ;)
-
Am very surprised not to have Anne Tabby Cat threatening a catnapping mission coz Pumpkin sorta reminds me of someone :innocent:
I'm afraid he also looks very much like the crazy ginger pud outside our house this am (about 18 months old same as our girls I'd say).
2 chaps were other side of our narrow road talking about manoeuvring the skip with a little yorkie in cabin when ginger from half way down the road decided to do a Kamikaze dive towards the road as I heard a truck approach :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
Everyone including chaps, dog and cat were startled by shrieks as I bellowed "NO" followed by "I SAID NO!" . As ginger scuttled off back onto pavement and home (about 10 houses down the road) I sheepishly explained "he's a right little bu**er that one" (I've posted before about him sitting in road) to which the scruffy skip driver said "but you wouldn't want anything to happen to the little chap would you" Bless! :)
So glad Pumpkin found you Sam :). Whether or not he picked anything up from your lot, plenty of horrid stuff could have happened to the little chap by now if left to his own devices :hug:
-
Bless him, he does look a bit sorry for himself :care: :cat rub:
-
He does look a bit poorly in those pics but I an sure in one I saw a twinkle in his eye.......................got her :rofl: :rofl:
-

So true! Gingers can be very devious. I know - I live with 2 of them.
He is sooo adorable. I think he might need a long convalescence ;)
No response to posters or anything I take it, Sam?
-
Little Man has eaten some breakfast and had a drink this morning and he actually jumped off the bed and followed me into the bathroom .... first time he done this for 3 days :evillaugh: I think he is feeling better.
No response to posters at all ... and I've not seen any lost posters / flyers anywhere either. :(
-
That's because he isn't lost .... he's at home ;)
-
hehehe noticed he now has a little pet name of Little man as well as Pumpkin, I thinks he is staying put just fine :rofl:
-
I reckon someone's going to came back home from hols pretty soon (maybe even stranded due to one of these travel firms going bust?) and find the trusted friend/relative who is supposed to be looking after their beloved ginger kitten has let him out.
I think that might be the case too. He looks far too well cared for and far too friendly for a stray.
But if no-one does come forward I reckon little pumpkin man is safe ;)
-
Nooooooooo, no, no, no, no
This is what happened
Sam found a Groovy Ginger Ninja on their farm in Farmville!
Sam was tending their farm when an adorable Groovy Ginger Ninja caught their eye! This Groovy Ginger Ninja is already eager to explore the world on their own and is looking for a new home.
Although I should add that the Groovy Ginger Ninja refuses to leave, so should stay :P

Have only just seen this thread or I would certainly have been considering a catnapping mission :rofl: He doesn't have a certain Master Hobbes' white bits but there is definitely a very strong resemblance :shify:
He is gorgeous and well done on looking after him Sam, glad he's feeling better and it's a good job I don't live near you :innocent:

So glad that your little Pumpkin is on the mend :Luv2:

-
How is our little Pumpkin today?
-
Pumpkin is back to full fitness ... thanks for asking. He's eating drinking and pouncing again. Still no contact about him ... so I think he'll be off to his new home on Saturday morning.
-
Good that Pumkin is back tip top health
-
Glad little Pumpkin is feeling better :) I can't believe that no-one has come forard for him :Crazy:
It's a shame you won't be keeping him but hopefully your Mum's friends will keep you updated with Pumpkin bulletins :)
-
Oh i will be asking for regular updates otherwise I won't be leaving him ;)
I have agreed to take him over at 9:30 saturday morning. Got to get there early as Kath has to be at work at 11:30 and she wants to spend an hour or so with him before she goes so he doesn't bond with her hubbie before she gets chance to meet him! lol.
I have no doubt he will be a spoilt, happy little lad with Kath and Mike.
-
Little Ginger Man is back to his old self.
-
He is just sooooooooooo gorgeous :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
He's got such a puurfect little face :Luv:
-
I want him sooo much! I wish I lived in a larger house so that I could add to my red collection ;D
Still adamant you're not keeping him then????
-

He is stunning isn't he. I can't keep him sadly ... no room :(
-
Oh he is so yummy :Luv2: he reminds me so much of Hobbes. Sorry you can't keep him but it sounds like he will have a fab home and be thoroughly spoilt ;D
-
You have took some stick Sam over not keeping him but glad he has got a forever home and back to kitten mischief and full health. ;D
He is adorable if it was not for my restraints of twoof my cats being on permanent medication I would have been down to catnap him most definately.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Gorgeous boy! Glad he's better Sam. Bet you'll miss him loads. :hug:
-
I know he's still a baby but he's got such a cute little, well, babyface! :Luv2:
-
i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed him!!!
-
I hope he will go to his new home with certain conditions - the main one being that they continue to provide you with pics so that we can continue to drool over the little gingerbread man! I hope they keep his name as Pumpkin too :Luv: :Luv:
-
So glad he's ok and you've found him a loving home Sam - maybe they could join Purrs so we can follow Pumpkin's story? ;) :hug:
Mary
-
Well Little Ginger Man has packed his suitcase (1 x ping pong ball, 1 x furry mouse, 1 x cat nip fish) .... he had bath last night (not by choice - but he jumped into the bath with me and got a bit of a shock when he found it full of water :rofl:) ad he is all ready to go off to his new home.
I heard from his new mummy today and they are looking forward to meeting him in the morning .... they also told me he will be having a new name ..... ALFIE :-:
-
:scared: He definitely looks like a 'Pumpkin - Property of Sam' to me :scared:
-
Alfie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way he is a Pumpkin :innocent:
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: OMG that photo is to die for :Luv2: :Luv2:
I guess they have their reasons for calling him Alfie but I do like Pumpkin better.
Mary
-
I prefer Alfie!! Good luck Alfie xx
-
He'll always be Pumpkin to me, bless his furry little paws :Luv: :Luv: I hope he's happy in his new home.
-
Well ... he's gone!! :( Got to his new home at 9:30 ... I opened the carrier and Lenny - the resident 11 month old, jet black mini panther :Luv2:- appeared to check out what was going on. Alfie came straight out of the carrier and rub noses with Lenny then trotted off intothe kitchen to have a look round. 2 mins later there was the thunder of little feet and Aflie came running into the lounge followed by Lenny. Quick lap round the room and then Lenny ran off followed by Alfie :) And that's how I left him running about playing chase with his new best mate. There was no hissing, spitting, or raised paws so I looks like they are going to get on just fine.
Kath has promised to keep me up to date on him but I am very happy that the little man has found his forever home and got a big brother to show him the ropes :Luv2:
-
Aw bless him, sounds like he's going to settle in just fine :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:

Bye Bye Pumpkin :Sad Bye:
It sounds like he has a fab home now Sam, well done for taking such good care of him :hug:
-
:'( Really missing the little ginger monster. I know he was only here 2 weeks but he made a big impression and was so cuddly.
-
I missed the first 30/40 too. And some of the 'special' ones who almost didn't survive. But especially I miss the ones that didn't get to leave here to start new lives. :'(
Pumpkin will be fine. :) Er... sorry, Alfie will be fine. :evillaugh:
Now you've got the hang of it, how's about more kitten fostering? :shy:
-
I'd love to foster more Julie but if they were here for more than two weeks then there is no way I'd be able to let them go! ;)
I also know Zephyr would never forgive me if I brought more than 1 in .... he's obviuosly been sulking cuz today he spent nearly 2 hours sat on my lap ... this is a boy who NEVER sits on my lap. He will sit next to me but never on me. I think he was "reclaiming me" as his own today! :evillaugh:
-
I just reread what I wrote... sorry, I came across as a bit dismissive. I didn't mean it like that. :-[ :hug: :hug: I was just trying to take your mind off it. To tell the truth I'm a bit tired as it's been a busy week and suffering from foot in mouth disease again. :evillaugh:
The newer fosterers I know (or fosterers that don't have cats that often) always worry a bit and are a bit sad when they go. :innocent: My remedy is always to get the next one in. ;)
-
:hug: Sam, it sounds like Alfie settled in pretty quickly with Lennie. Well done for taking such good care of him; it's really hard to let them go, I know. :hug:

LOL S'ok hun I didn't take any offence .. I knew what you meant. Don't worry :hug:
-
OMG Alfie Pumpkin has well and trully got his paws under the table. I recieved a message (and pics) this morning and he is having a fab time in his new home.
Checkout the pics ... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=61476&id=1587169418&l=12d579403a (you don't need a facebook account to view this album).
His new best mate is called Tom not Lenny .... I got the names mixed up. Lenny was Tom's brother and he got run over sadly :(
-
AP is doing just great by the looks of things and his friend and hime look so happy together ;D
-
I was worried we would be deprived of updates once little Pumpkin/Alfie went to his new home, I needn't have worried his new parents seem to be snap-happy which is all good :naughty: He's certainly settled in just fine! :Luv:
Have you taken the posters down now :shify:
-
Tom and Alfie look like they're gonna be great friends. :Luv2:
Fantastic photos :Luv2:
Mary
-
yes helen .. posters have come down. It's been two weeks so no-one is lookibg very hard for him. The vets still has details if they should phone them but I can't see it happening.
-
Awww bless , he's got a good home there - and a nice garden to enjoy!
-
What fantastic pictures of Alfie and Tom!!
-
It's so lovely to see this update, Sam. Well done - Alfie and Tom look so happy. :hug:

nearly there
-
My heart is melting!
I want a ginger!! :Luv:
-
last ones. The little lad certainly seems very happy :Luv2:
-
wow he settled quickly!
-
The two of them sleeping in the chair make me laugh! Like an old amrried couple!
-
wow he settled quickly!
Oh yeah Dawn ... These pics were taken litterally hours after arriving. Aflie P is a very friendly little boy ... he was struggling to understanding why my lot didn't want to play all the time :evillaugh: He was over the moon when I opened the carrier at his new home and Tom wanted to play straight away.
-
and yet four years later star and amber still give each other sly looks here!
-
Who's the other cat lurking in the background?
-
:thanks:
He's such a babe :Luv: He should be mine by rights but I will allow his new slaves to take care of him for me due to lack of space at my end ;)
-
Who's the other cat lurking in the background?
That's Jimmy ... he's a real old soldier. I think he's 15 or 16, a bit arthritic and totally NOT interested in playing! :rofl:
-
I figured that by the fact he was a lurker, not in full shot.....bless him.
-
Love the photos Sam. :Luv2: I'm so glad he found you cos he's gonna have a brill life now.

Latest update on the little lad:
Alfie Pumpkin went to the Vet on Tuesday, and had first innoculations and he'll be going back in 3 weeks for the final jab and will be microchipped then too. It will be another month or two before he's ready for neutering.
The 'youngsters' are still chasing and wrestling like idiots! They both enjoyed playing in my shopping bag (see attached pics)!
-
:Luv: :Luv: He's such a happy little lad, isn't he?
I'm still puzzled as to how he came to be wandering around outside. He looks far too well cared for to be have been a stray. Perhaps someone got him as a kitten then got fed up when he scratched the sofa or something >:( Tom is a cutie too and looks delighted to have another kitten to play with.
-
Tom and Alfie are BFF'S!!

Judging by the pics, I'd say he's pretty much ready now ;)

Me too Susanne .... I can't believe such a happy well adjusted little man didn't have a home ... unless of course he had hitched a lift from somewhere or been kicked out for scratching the sofa (he was quite good at that ;) )

Alfie and Tom are having bags of fun - great photos once again :Luv2: :hug:

Alfie is absolutely GORGEOUS! I'm in love :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Holly and Jimmy are the two oldies. Holly is the miserable grey british shorthair (short fur and short temper :rofl:). The two babies leave the oldies alone and everyone is happy. ;)

Just to update everyone .... Alfie P went to the vet last wednesday for his final jabs and while he was there he had the snip! :rofl:
He came home a couple of hours later and Tom gave him a bit of a wide berth and left him to sleep off the anaesthetic. When Alfie came downstairs for his tea he was back to his normal bouncy self and i and Tom had a game of rough and tumble! :rofl:
Kath says he is doing very well, is a wonderful family member and they are so pleased he joined them.
I will remind her we need more pics soon ;)
-
Just seen the pic of where he is eating with 3 others and never gave 3 of mine the permission to do the photo shoot :rofl:
That could of been a picture took at mine apart from the Alfie Pumpkin in the picture. Only colour I have never owned oh and a pure white one lol.
Glad to hear and see he is doing well in his new home :briggin:

Not sure if he knows life could have turned out so differently for him but I do know that he repays his new mummy and daddy with so much love and cuddles. He is obviously very happy and he loves Tom (his black brother).
I really like the picture of Alfie sunbathing on the pile of straw and also the one of him hiding under the duvet - even if he does look slightly possessed with those huge black eyes! lol
-
Alfie and Tom made for each other what lovely pictures :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
