That's really sad news. It sounds like she was peaceful and comfortable though and if there's a best way to go, then that has to be the way.

Hope her foster carer is ok

OMG Ela I am so so sorry to hear about Nikki,

Bless that darling little girl.
Run free sweetheart, free from pain, with a beautiful coat and a full belly.
At least this little darling knew love and warmth in her final days.

Night Night little one xxxxxxxxxxx

Do they have any idea why?

No Nikki was nice and cosy when Suzanne went out and when she came back in she was dead in almost the same position, so it looks like she just went peacefully in her sleep.

That's probably one of the nicer ways to go. Glad she left peacefully and was content.

Nikki, your memory will live on, that I can promise.

I have spoken to Suzannes husband this morning and told him about the offer, he has just rung me back and said that Suzanne has asked me to thank you very much.

Sorry Ela

I can only echo what has been said already.

Sweet dreams little one

Mark · « **Reply #66 on:** December 12, 2007, 09:41:26 AM »

So sorry Ela,

I can only repeat what others have said that at least she passed in a warm bed and had been well fed and was loved

Poor baby

Aww, I am so sorry to hear this, but at least she got to go peacefully in a warm, loving house, and not out on the streets. RIP little one.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #62 on:** December 11, 2007, 21:07:31 PM »

Aww no. Do they have any idea why? As it's been said quite a lot, at least genuine love and compassion was known by Nikki before she went.

RIP Nikki.

LesleyW · « **Reply #61 on:** December 11, 2007, 20:00:47 PM »

At least Nikki knew love, warmth and comfort in her last few days, pass on hugs to your fosterer Ela, I know these times are hard for them, but Nikki did not suffer and, though it doesn't sound right in words, it's a nice way for them to go, rather than in pain and suffering.

Nikki, your memory will live on, that I can promise.

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #60 on:** December 11, 2007, 18:57:37 PM »

Ahhh how awful. So pleased Niki was able to receive lots of love, cuddles and a nice warm fire in her last few weeks and nice that she passed quietly in her sleep.

Big hugs to you and Suzanne

RIP Niki ... play hard at the bridge little lady

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #59 on:** December 11, 2007, 18:52:04 PM »

That is so sad, Ela. Still, Niki died in the warm, not matted, hungry or thirsty.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #58 on:** December 11, 2007, 18:43:26 PM »

so sorry to hear that Ela, but as you say... at least she got to know love care and compassion in her last few weeks.

Ela · « **Reply #55 on:** December 11, 2007, 17:33:56 PM »

I am afraid I have some terrible news, Suzanne her fosterer has just rung to to say she has just found Niki dead. It appears she died in her sleep this afternoon. It is so sad but at least during the last few days of her life she knew what love and care was.

Janeyk · « **Reply #54 on:** December 05, 2007, 16:11:45 PM »

good

I was wondering too

Ela · « **Reply #53 on:** December 05, 2007, 12:13:46 PM »

She is slowly recovering from her trauma thankyou.

how is the lovely Nikki doing Ela?

pappilon · « **Reply #51 on:** November 29, 2007, 20:45:04 PM »

Just to see how is Nikki doing, i hope she is enjoying her self in front of the fire and her fur is growing.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #50 on:** November 23, 2007, 19:08:51 PM »

Aww, the poor baby.

Mark · « **Reply #49 on:** November 21, 2007, 13:54:25 PM »

Just caught up with this. Poor Nikki. As terrible as they are, at least they had the sense to leave her with you. Now at least, she can have the kind of life she deserves. I hope their house is infested with fleas

Dawn F · « **Reply #48 on:** November 21, 2007, 11:18:32 AM »

poor little Nikki, I'm so glad she is in your hands

Glad to hear she is doign well at the moment.

Ela · « **Reply #43 on:** November 19, 2007, 16:20:43 PM »

I understand she is nice and warm sleeping in front of a fire with her new coat on, well a coat mad for a jumper sleeve.

She is not out of the woods yet, but everything is being done to give her the chance af a happy retirement.

Dawn F · « **Reply #42 on:** November 19, 2007, 15:33:51 PM »

Maybe it should be compulsory for breeders to stress the enormous task a longhaired 'buyer' is taking on.

Most good breeders do more than that, they actually show the new owner how to groom, bath and blow dry, explain how the coat will change from kittenhood into adulthood, seasonal changes etc, etc.

sending loving healing vibes for Mr BB, hope hes on the mend soon poor baby

Poor Nikki. Still, at least now she is with Chesterfield CP and her luck has changed.

Most definitely, I should get another pic soon but we have been very busy, (Christmas Fayre today, and tomorrow some of the fosterers are on the Chesterfield Market 10 am - 7 pm.) I understand Nikki has fur in her head and feet. Eric (vet) opened our Christmas Fayre this morning and told me Nikki was so thin.

My goodness we need the money we have had a bad few weeks, we took in a new foster cat about 3 weeks ago and he looked so well, after about 3 days he started with a bladder problem and since then he is getting worse and worse and the vets cannot find the cause and has spent so much time at the vets. He seemed to recover a little, came home for a couple of days and then was found collapsed in his pen again, tonight he is on a drip again. we just do not know what the outcome will be but we must give him every chance. His pic is on the gallery. Name Mr BB

I agree completely HK, we have had a couple of semi-longhaireds in as adults who have hated being groomed, maybe they would have been better if they had been used to it as kittens.

Hippykitty · « **Reply #36 on:** November 17, 2007, 18:05:26 PM »

I think some people are ignorant of the work involved with longhaired cats.
It's easy when they like being groomed. I used to have a maine coon type moggy who loved being brushed so much that if I was late doing it (allotted time 10.pm) he would sit and stare at me till the penny dropped. He was a pleasure to brush.

Maybe it should be compulsory for breeders to stress the enormous task a longhaired 'buyer' is taking on.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #35 on:** November 16, 2007, 21:36:22 PM »

Sam, we might not know the circumstances, but to have a longhaired cat in that state and then to just leave them in a box rather than physically hand them over says a lot.
I would love a longhaired cat, but not sure I could cope with one, both with teh grooming and my asthma, so I wont adopt one will I can foster one to check - and would you believe I have been fostering for over 3 years and not had a longhaired in yet, something has stopped me taking in everyone we have been asked about!!

.... you shouldn't automatically assume she has been dumped out of malice or neglect.

In all probability she was someones cat and they dumped her, had she been a stray I am sure someone would have knocked on the door and said so.
