I will speak to Tan about this

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #70 on:** October 12, 2007, 20:03:46 PM »

Congratulations Conker

You'll need to PM Tan to get the newsflash changed, I know she's got a lot on at the moment so i'm sure she'll do it as soon as she can.

I hope a moderator reads this.. As Conkers home is assured now.. I would be very grateful if a MOD could perhaps take him off you splash page and perhaps put up the cat on Catchat that is a very similar case to Conker, his name is Everweddy and he also has FIV.. Like Conker he has limited time and it would be good to think we could "save" them both... The thread is on Catchat under FIV..

Thanks everybody!

Wooppppppppppp Wooppppppppp Woopppppppppppppp wonderful stunning news for Conker

I am so pleased it all got sorted for the poor boy

We would love to see some pictures of Jesiri, one of Purrs saved ones

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #59 on:** October 11, 2007, 21:42:56 PM »

Hello all
CONKER has (all things crossed) found a home!!!

This puss is really very lucky, after being on the verge of being PTS not just once but twice, he surely has a cat angel over him.......!!! I didnt think there was anyone out their that would take him on but i have faith in human nature and appeal....

Now.....a big, and i mean BIG THANKS to MANDY at CATCHAT who has helped me on this one......

We had to work out how to support Conker for future vet bills and a few bits and bods but they were all sorted today...

Its a great, warm feeling inside when you literally make a difference and i hope the has a few years in him yet.... after being let down so much by us people...

While i am here i wanted to mention that you should all feel good as well about all you lovely Purrs people, because Jesiri continues to improve daily and is now the most affectionate, loving, daft and silly cat this side of Kent. I wish you could of met him as he is a mascot for rescue. Never give up on those ones that need rescue the most....thats what i say...........

Sharon

Mark · « **Reply #58 on:** October 11, 2007, 20:26:40 PM »

One of the emails I got from Sharon today mentioned him going this weekend

- Sharon will hopefully confirm this

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #57 on:** October 11, 2007, 07:45:25 AM »

Fingers crossed for him.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #56 on:** October 11, 2007, 00:01:09 AM »

I think we are all too nervous to say anything this end....

But we are in negotions with a lady, experienced FIV owner, secure cat proof garden, used to anti social cats. The things being discussed are potential medical needs, where Conker will get his medical FIV care, who pays for what, etc... Don't worry, if it comes off, they'll be a party the like of which you've never seen!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #47 on:** October 09, 2007, 17:23:05 PM »

Any news? I feel so sorry for this chap

Bazsmum · « **Reply #46 on:** October 02, 2007, 19:53:19 PM »

Looking at his piccie i would'nt say that he could'nt live in a home....the poor boy is just so scared that it brakes your heart to see him that way

I would love to be able to pick Blackie (my ex-feral) up

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #45 on:** October 02, 2007, 17:21:42 PM »

Oh dear Oh dear poor Conker, do you think its he doesnt like being in a pen..........who would.......or would he not like a house with a garden either?

Canterbury_cats (Sharon) · « **Reply #44 on:** October 02, 2007, 17:15:44 PM »

Hello all
Just to let you know that Conkers gums have cleared up nicely and he seems better. HOWEVER, we dont know if this is going to return. I hope not.. BUT our welfare officer thinks that we are probably not doing Conker any favours, he hisses at you still and puts his ears back still. I dont think his attitude has changed much since we have him in, other then his mouth has cleared up nicely and he want be in any pain..

BUT WE DESPERATELY need to find him somewhere to go. Otherwise i fear the worst and Conkers days will be numbered in his pen..

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD and let me know if anyone has any great ideas or inspiration to help give Conker a chance of a better life..

Thanks..

Mark · « **Reply #43 on:** September 27, 2007, 19:21:36 PM »

I met poor little conker today. He is a confused little soul. He hissed at me when I stroked him but didn't scratch. Just a scared boy

Quote from: Ela on September 25, 2007, 07:46:52 AM

I know Cats Protection advise that FIV cats should only be homed where there are no other cats or homes where there are already FIV cats. and indeed indoor only or a home where the garden is cat safe.

Sorry Ela i disagree - just my opinion though !

Poppy Girl · « **Reply #41 on:** September 25, 2007, 20:15:36 PM »

Hi Everyone

I have read all your posts with interest, I do know what it's like to have a FIV cat, we had one that passed away 2 years ago. I really appreciate your comments, especially Ela, thanks for your ultimate concern, Conker.

Sadly we do have 2 stray cats that frequent the cat food bowls, one is tamer than the other and I would not like to endanger them.

So sorry to have put your hopes up

Sorry for not getting back to you Pinkbear, I had to leave earlier for work than expected and had no time to check emails until now

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #40 on:** September 25, 2007, 18:54:46 PM »

Sadly Norbury Park and area have colonies of ferals, I know they had cat flu but dont know if they had anything more serious.

Mark · « **Reply #39 on:** September 25, 2007, 12:26:24 PM »

I have to say, there isn't any danger of Conker being PTS unless his health says otherwise. Although this is urgent, it is mainly as Conker isn't happy in a pen. Its not the sort of situation where he will be PTS on a certain date if a home isn't found (This isn't the

PCA )

Hopefully Sharon will find another idyllic rural home for him - she has had a good run on those recently

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #38 on:** September 25, 2007, 11:52:45 AM »

Well, Poppy girl hasn't got back to me yet.

And yes, we'd need to reassure ourselves there wasn't a danger of Conker passing on the virus.

He also needs to be assessed at the end of the week to see if his meds have got on top off his gum problems. He can't go anywhere until we're sure he's over this problem.

Liz · « **Reply #37 on:** September 25, 2007, 11:33:55 AM »

Whilst in an ideal world mixing can and does happen I had a wonderful 8 months with her hissyness Miss Holly a feral who had FIV and finally succombed to it, did we worry no we gave her a safe haven - she was inside for her 8 months at our choice and lived with all the other Clan Cats till she passed away - at the time the other 36!

I have friends whoi have mixed homes and there normal ones have more health issues, I would and will be doing it again once I am back in the UK full time and the ideal candidate can be found - for our peace of mind any FIV would be with our house cats through the day and allowed full run of the rest of the house with the other 22 at night!

Hope Conker has found his forever garden

bumping up re Sharon's request "Not sure if a mod can change the title of this thread to include URGENT"

I don't think he will be able to go somewhere there are strays coming in & out as this will put other cats at risk (Admittedly a small risk)

As Sharon said, it will need to be somewhere contained.
