Title: Hi from Sunny Scotland!!
Post by: madkittyrescue on October 30, 2007, 18:14:14 PM
Hi Everyone,

Just thought I'd take a wee minute or two to introduce myself.  My name is Sarah and I'm secretary of the Cupar Animal Trust Shelter up here in Scotland.  We are a Fife based Cat Rescue taking in and rehoming approx  500 cats + per year.  We are an independent Registered Charity entirely self funded.

I myself have 7 little furry babies... who my husband and I love to bits.  We also run the Charities South Fife Branch with our HQ based in Cupar.

I just wanted to drop a line and say hi to everyone.  We are all cat mad here and hope that we can contribute to your forum in some small way.  We only came across it the other day.

Well done on all your hard work for the UK's rescue's.

Aye, i weethir's bin nae bad iday, a wee bity caul but itherwise, aricht ;) :rofl:

 :wow: I Don't believe it, I read a post on here today about someone wanting to take in an elderly feline, but due to
there not being any Scottish Cat Rescue's using Purr's, was finding it difficult to get one.

I'm away to c if I can Find it and Pass on the good news  ;D

lol... I know.. its done nothing but rain rain rain for days!!!!!     :(

Is there not any other Scottish rescues on here no??  Mind you I only fell over the site the other day!   (sorry!)

Everyone up here is doing fine... holding their own.   Jan is doing good... well she will be when she gets over her groin strain!!!  eeek... very sore and she can barely move bless her!  :'(

Been yet another busy busy  year...   we are full of oldies at the moment looking for homes.  Well I say oldies most of them are 2 - 6 years old but still too old for many folks who come a knocking at our doors!  <sigh>

why is it everyone always dismisses how good it can be to take on an older cat??  gawd knows... anyhoo.. they are safe and happy with us for now and that is the main thing!   ;)

piccies.... ahh... here are a few...

First up is my Handsome boy, Zorro who is 4 1/2

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/saznpaul/Pet%20Pics/P8311598.jpg)

Then, Brandy, Zorro's birth brother

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/saznpaul/Pet%20Pics/P7021574.jpg)

This is a pic of brandy (On left) with Aston (right) on the day he arrived to live with us.  (fell in love after he came into the shelter!!)

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/saznpaul/Pet%20Pics/Aston-1.jpg)

This is Yoda (on left) and Ditsy (not ours... we kitty sitting for a family member)

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/saznpaul/Pet%20Pics/DSCF1386-1.jpg)

The reason we called him Yoda is cos he looked like Master Yoda out of Star Wars... see??

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/saznpaul/Pet%20Pics/yodathe2nd.jpg)

Hiding is Oor Sophie... or Psycho is she is more affectionately known... not very camera friendly.

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/saznpaul/Pet%20Pics/DSCF1575.jpg)

This is little Appollo who is our latest addition to our furry family.

(http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/saznpaul/Pet%20Pics/DSC00128.jpg)

We also have Alfie (don't seem to have any pics you can see him in as he always jumps at the camera!!!)

Here is also one of our recent kitties (Bailey) that we hand reared.... Literally just before she went off to her new forever home.

Hi Sarah &  :welcome: to Purrs

Glad you found us  :)  There are lots of Scottish members on here but I believe you are our first official scottish rescue member  :wow:  Seeing as you have been so good and followed the 'Purrs law' of posting pics I feel it my public duty to warn you that this place is seriously addictive - don't say you weren't warned  :Crazy:  :evillaugh:

Hi Sarah!  :welcome:

Great to see you on here! Hope everything is going well. It's good to see a Scottish rescue on here at last.

P.S: Miss Boopy would like to say that she is still just as thrilled with her gorgeous blanket as when she first got it from you :) It's certainly a very well travelled blanket lol!

Pleased to hear that Miss Boopy still enjoys her bed.  We had to stop making them for a few months as we were just SOOO busy.  Although we will be starting up again in the next week or two thanks to a lovely new machine!!   ;)   Think that will be my xmas, birthday and anniversary pressies for the next 5 years!   lol  (well it will if Paul gets his way!  Lol)

Miss Boopy is looking fabby...  give her a big hug from all of us here at CATS.
