Title: Another phone call - NOW WITH PICCIES
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on February 27, 2008, 10:44:58 AM
Just had another call about a Persian that needs a placement.  Poor little mite is 13 years old, lost his elderly owner last May and went to live the daughter in law.  Sadly, she can't afford to keep him now, he is matted but healthwise he's fine.  I got a little confused as my friend had given me a number for another one a couple of nights ago that needed sorting but I haven't had chance to get in touch with the lady.  I was hoping this was the same one but it means there's another to sort as well  :tired:

He a bluey grey so I assume he's a blue.  I've spoken to the lady who's got him and he needs a dental, ears sorting and sounds like complete demat  :tired:  If I get chance later, I'll go over but I can't get him in the vets til next week as they are chocca, I could get him in my local vets but when I had Peony in, they needed more time as she was coming round out of the anaesthetic and because of her age, they didn't want to give her any more.  At Sean's vets they use the gas as well so I want him going in there so I can get everything done in one hit.

Nope, funny enough when Sean found out I'd got back in at 1 o'clock after going to Sheffield, he asked if I had a social life, I mean what is that  :Crazy:  :Crazy:  I have had an offer of a foster home for this little man until he can be rehomed  :Luv:  :Luv:  I'm sure she will be on later to give you all the news herself  :evillaugh:  He is booked in the vets for next Friday, this is the earliest I can get him in if I want Sean to do him so he'll be clipped, have a dental and whatever else he needs doing  :Luv:

Well if this little fella doesn't find a home in the meantime he'll be spending some quality time with me and the fluffs until we can find him a fab home! ;D ;D

He'll be my first foster and tbh its been something I've been thinking about for a while.  My lot are great with other cats and will love another fluff to play with.

Him and Fabes will look like the Mitchell brothers - 2 baldies!!  Now then who will be Phil and who will be Grant, decisions decisions............ :rofl:

I've been to see this huge boy tonight and he is  :drool;  :drool;  :drool;  :drool;  I am totally and utterly in love, he is such a babe  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  I did nearly shed a couple of tears though and found it hard not to, he is in such a mess bless him and all he wanted me to do was give him a fuss  :'(  :'(  He was licking me and purring but you can see he must be in pain bless him  :'(  He definitely needs his ears sorting, he was constantly shaking his head, he has a couple of cuts where his fur has pulled away and his mouth is really stinky so possibly needs some teeth out.  I've asked if they get a cancellation in the vets to let me know but I'm going to try and do a swap on Friday with Abigail's spay, she can then go in on Wednesday and hopefully get Becky and Benjy in next Friday, I'm gonna have a chat with Sean tomorrow to see if this is okay. :shy:

He is gorgeous isn't he, I think I may apply for custody  :evillaugh:  :evillaugh:  He has had me in tears though, I just feel gutted for him to have a fab, pampered life for 12 years and then he ends up in the state he is in  :'(  :'(  :'(  Tomorrow will be a fresh start for him, he'll be fur free, loved and treated like a prince and I've told him all about FooFoo, Fabes, Sol and his Aunty Candice  :Luv:  :Luv:

I cant understand people who dont want their cats anymore, how on earth can someone abandone a cat as beautiful as that, well any cat to be honest.

The lady did say she couldn't afford to feed him anymore, but I think it was a case of not wanting to pay the vet bill  >:(

Shah is fine  :Luv:  It took an hour and a half to dematt him as he was matted between the toes, all his backend was a disgusting mess and Heidi said he is the worst one she's ever done.  His bloods all came back fine, his teeth have had some tartar removed and his ears are now gunk free, and he's a good solid lump weighing in at 7.5kg  :Luv:  I'm going to pick him up shortly  :)

Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on February 29, 2008, 19:14:08 PM
I am embarrassed to say that could not stop laughing when I saw him  :naughty:  He looked so funny bless him with his wrinkly belly  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  I had to buy him a t shirt from Woolies and I put it on him in the vets, a lady said to her son, "Awww look at that doggy"  :rofl:  :rofl:  I informed her it was a cat and she said she thought it was a scottie dog   :evillaugh:

Just brought him home and I casually asked my son to carry him in and put him in his cage, he went to pick him up and burst out laughing as he had no idea of the weight of him  :rofl:  He is huge and weighed more than a little dog that was weighed in the vets tonight, much to the amusement of the vet nurses  :evillaugh:  I'll take some piccies later as I've just literally got back in but have got to pop out again  :tired:
Really pleased he's ok and can't wait to see him  :Luv: :Luv:

You'll be carrying him out of the car, he's done my arm in already  ;)

Oh , he looks gorgeous.
When i got Winston he had to be completely shaved , all he had were little boots , bottom half of his tail and his head fur left on . As it was November i managed to get him a Yorkshire terrier dog coat with fleece inside and he wore that for ages !!

Shah has arrived and has made himself at home  :sneaky:

Introductions with my three are going well - he's just growled and hissed a little bit but there's been lots of nose sniffing too - so far so good  :innocent:

I kept him in the spare room last night and today when I was at work so he could settle in.  He wasn't impressed and woke me up at 3am crying and scratching the door and the carpet to get out.  I went in to give him a fuss and got licked to death  :evillaugh:

I'm going to try him out of the room tonight and see how we get on.

He is following me around like a little puppy and the person who adopts him will be VERY lucky  :Luv2:

I'm so pleased he's making himself at home, he wasn't doing so bad last night in that department  :evillaugh:  Within 5 minutes of letting him out of the carrier, he'd found a catnip bow and was rolling round on the floor with it, he is such an adoreable cat and he would be a pleasure to have around  :Luv:  :Luv:  :Luv:  He's very verbal which Candice has found out, and speaking to Candice earlier, he'd been carrying a little ball round in his mouth  :Luv:  :Luv:  :Luv:  I'm pretty sure, he will think he's died and gone to heaven landing his paws at your place, thanks for taking him on board and I hope you get some sleep tonight  :hug:  :hug:

Meant to tell you CS, earlier I heard lots of growling coming from the carrier I took Becky to the vets in, I'd put the little pink mousey thing in with her and Dyson had found it  :evillaugh:

Shah is such a lovely snuggly boy  :Luv:

He has found a Shah size spot on my bed and has been 'out' with all my three since Wednesday night and so far so good  :innocent:

He has been a bit sniffly since yesterday so I'm going to take him to the vets tomorrow to make sure he hasn't got a temperature - wish him well everyone he has been through so much over the last few weeks  :scared:

Here are some piccies I took of him yesterday  :Luv:

BTW - I went to Wigan cat show yesterday and had a chat with a woman I know and we think he may be a Pewter Persian  :Luv:

He's been to the vets and was really good purring the whole time she examined him  :Luv:

She thinks the sniffles are through stress, he doesn't have a temperature and everything else is fine.  His eye is a bit gunky too today, so he is on antibiotics and eye ointment.

She was really surprised when I said he was 13 - she thought he was a lot younger  ;)

Nooo chance Gillian - he definitely needs someone who can lavish him with all their time and affection  :innocent:

He is feeling much better today.  I came home from work and no gunky eye and he even came downstairs to say hello as I walked through the door  :Luv2:

Sol walked next to him before and swished his tail in his face - Shah just ducked  :evillaugh:

Shah is now 100% and has had his first vaccination, next one in 3 wks time.

He is playing loads and especially loves playing with the ping pong ball in bath - so new home must have a bath not a shower  :evillaugh:

He discovered the cat tree today and the windowsill - I wondered how long it would take as he was checking Fabes out on it the other night.

His fave place is still my bed though  :Luv:
