Lynne the quality here is poor as I had to photograph the picture, The minute I saw it I thought of Cody, Andrews mum was one of the merseyferals we took on.

i hope she brings you more up to date pics teresa so we can compare but yes he does have a swipe of the codster .... has he any curls or ringlets or odd feeling hair .... then again if he has any variant in him they have normal coats.

Bless that little Andy.  I hadn't dared ask whether he survived because I knew all the others had died and you were feeling so unwell and wretched and worried about Sabrina's kittens being born and maybe contracting the virus as well.......but that is just beautiful....and something of a miracle.

He's a smashing little boy Teresa.  How can any of us forget that dreadful time when you and Dawn were battling daily to save the lives of those sweet little babes. Did you ever find out what caused their illness?  It was dreadful because the kittens seemed to thrive and then suddenly they all became ill, and died one by one....just heartbreaking. 

Anyway, thankfully little Andy was not born into the hellhole from which he was rescued and is looking great...all thanks to you.

God bless you little Andy

Lots of love :Luv:

Roz
