Title: Introducing Amy - cat living in building site for last 4 months! (REHOMED)
Post by: madkittyrescue on February 05, 2009, 11:00:58 AM: I would like to introduce you all to Amy who came to us last week. She was brought to our attention by Lynds (forum member) after builders on her estate mentioned a cat that had been living under a metal storage container for the last 4 months.

The builders had been round all estates in the area to try to find an owner but to no avail and as the cat was beginning to look more and more bedraggled happened on mentioning it to someone, luckily Lynds! :) who was straight on the phone to us and we immediately made space for the little one.

She is slowly starting to clean herself up, hydration levels are improving and her system is slowly adjusting to a good food regime after being fed in tit bits of food for the last few weeks which has resulted in bouts of diahorrea over the last few days. She also has a big skinned area on her chin which we are guessing is from squeezing herself out from under the container which is starting to heal up nicely.

Guesstimating that she is approx 7/8 years old and we're sure she will be a wee stunner once she is feeling much much better.

Here are a couple of pics of the little one.

Post by: madkittyrescue on February 05, 2009, 12:47:02 PM: she is such a sweetie, when she arrived she wolfed down her food, spotted the nice comfy bed and lay down on it, straight to sleep purring her wee heart out.... it was so lovely to see but also sad

I have someone who may be interested in adopting her when she is ready so fingers crossed that works out as they are coming out to see her later today.

Title: Re: Introducing Amy - cat living in building site for last 4 months!
Post by: dabs on February 05, 2009, 14:21:19 PM: Blimey, she did well to survive in the artic blasts lately as well. In the bottom piccie she really does look like she is grateful for her full tummy and warm bed. Pity more humans could not show that kind of appreciation when we help them out as well!

I am sure she will do well under your stirling care, give her an extra head rub from me, she deserves it. :Luv:
Title: Re: Introducing Amy - cat living in building site for last 4 months!
Post by: Lynds on February 05, 2009, 14:35:20 PM: I'm just glad she's ok. I'm now on standby to rescue any other needy moggies. I wish I could take her, but after having to rehome Nobo, my confidence in taking another cat is shattered.

Sarah and I have discussed me taking a kitty and perhaps Izzy will ok.

Anyway, I miss Amy so please give her a big hug from me.

Title: Re: Introducing Amy - cat living in building site for last 4 months!
Post by: madkittyrescue on February 05, 2009, 22:14:37 PM: well I have good news in that the lady who was out to see Amy tonight is really keen to take on Amy, when she is ready.

We always send them away with an information pack and ask them to get in touch within 24 hours if they still wish to go ahead so fingers crossed that this lady will still go ahead... which I think she will to be honest :Luv2: Little Amy wrapped her and her friends round her little paw! :Luv2:

All being well then we will go ahead and all being well get things organised and in place for the lady's return from holiday towards the end of the month and by then Amy should be much better and able to go to her new home :) We hope to have Amy in tomorrow for a vet check up and to see about getting her teeth cleaned up before homing too. so fingers crossed all goes ok for this little one :wish:

Post by: madkittyrescue on February 15, 2009, 13:34:32 PM: She's doing really well hun. Eating well and got herself into a wee routine and loving having lots of hugs and kisses :Luv2:

She will be going to her new home around the 23rd / 24th of Feb which I am sure she will be glad of and will love having someone all to herself. Her dental went really well the other day and needed nothing more than a scale and polish! :Luv2:
Title: Re: Introducing Amy - cat living in building site for last 4 months!
Post by: madkittyrescue on March 02, 2009, 19:14:33 PM: not so good news re Amy folks... we've been given the run around and the end result is that Amy will no longer be going to the home we thought she was.

SO, she is back up for adoption .... fingers are crossed that all goes well THIS time round! :tired:

So sad to hear this but, we rescues seem to be given the run around quite alot don't we. :'(

However, I am sure the purrfect home for her is just around the corner :Luv2:
Title: Re: Introducing Amy - cat living in building site for last 4 months!
Post by: madkittyrescue on March 03, 2009, 09:43:36 AM: I think anyone who meets her will be smitten with her fantastic nature ( :wish: ) and hopefully she won't have to put up with us much longer and she can get that bit more freedom she craves. She went live for adoption on our website last night so fingers are crossed.

Post by: Lynds on March 20, 2009, 21:46:09 PM: Did Amy get settled into her new home tonight?

Hope it went well.

Title: Re: Introducing Amy - cat living in building site for last 4 months!
Post by: madkittyrescue on March 21, 2009, 08:30:23 AM: it went really well. She settled in quickly and made herself at home on her new daddy's knee... much to the jealousy of her new mummy! :)

I think its fair to say that she had her new daddy wrapped round her little paws in about 2 seconds flat! lol but she is going to be spoilt rotten and have a wonderful home.
