Are there any rescues anywhere that would like some kitten action? Is is worth trying to get a litter action team in place to see if we can migrate some of these from area to another?
-
Angie we have plenty of kitten action, but will always try help in an emergency.
-
Ange, I've got time and space if we can get them here.
-
I've got Lesleys back if transports needed ;) can do from London down no probs.........Need to go to Ikea any way!
Damn....need that money for cat-proofing then I can consider fostering >:(
-
"Go Girls" :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
If I'm honest, I do have reservations about moving pregnant mums/young kittens, but if this is their only realistic chance of care/survival then I MIGHT be able to help Sat am:
OH is driving to Exeter... so looking at the map... he could make a detour south to join the M4 at Newbury (handover point) , then head west.
I do need to stress at this point, that he is working away from home today & I haven't been able to get in contact with him to ask if this is ok.
So just a possibility to bear in mind Angie/Lesley/ Koscha?

If they need to go anyhwere north of Coventry I might be able to help with transport. Preferably on and East Mids/Yorkshire stretch.
-
Brilliant. It looks like we have the makings of a plan here.
I've just been told that another of our foster cats is getting fatter (we've had her a couple of weeks) and the vet has confirmed she's over mid way.
This is so depressing - I've been posting some CP neutering leaflets as well - they are doing a good job advertising their services around coventry do not understand why people are so :censored: :censored:!!
-
I know it's not much help now Angie but in a few weeks if the same sort of situation arises I might be able to help.
Unfortunately for these particular kitties I'm off on holiday in a week and Ian starts his new job on Monday so he says we have too much going on and I have to respect his decision.
The better news is that his new job is near Balsall Common so he won't be a million miles away!
Sorry I can't help any more than transport this time round.
-
Well mum and 4 kitens have arrived. So these are the family.

Mum is very soft and cute - though it could just be the hormones!
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w272/petsearch_coventry/HPIM0332.jpg)
The kittens eyes are opening so they must be about 7 - 10 days.
-
I've had someone waiting for a tortie baby since last September - a lovely family who had one of my scrapyard kittens from Dawn about 18 months ago now. :Luv2:
-
Aw and just look at that little one right at the back! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Strangely we only have one mum and 5 kittens in our care at the moment. The only kittens we have had so far this year (famous last words)!) But i know that other branches are heaving.. Bexley has loads and more in the pipeline.
-
We seem to be having a black cat season instead this year!

Angie
I keep looking at the title of this thread and laughing and then wondering how on earth a rescue could need kittens?
-
OK, I have just spoken to 'Mr Jasmine', he can do the run on Sat am, but it will be an early start (he has to be in Exeter midday).
This means any potential drop-off at Newbury would have to be at 9.30 sharp.

That's okay with me, I can be at Chieveley Services, just off the M4, A34 junction for 9.30 am.

Oh thank god you've sorted it...was going to offer to help, but could only do saturday pm. :-[

Oh T - you know there are some nicer parts of this green and pleasant animal loving nation that actually do have kitten shortages and are sometimes quite desperate to acquire some for the local population - or am I not understanding your mirth.
-
works for me but I might have to leave the front door open and tell mr Jasmine to help himself ;)
What time pick up - or am I dropping them off the the Jasmine residence (which of course I will do if its easier)

Angie I thought they only bought posh pedigrees in those areas Corgi`s :rofl:
-
Glad that you have something sorted - there are very few kittens round here, which is good.
-
:Luv2: mum and babies are gorgeous! Afraid I'm just too far away to help out ... but good luck!
-
Just seen this but I am in Oxford and can help with transport if Im needed.xx

Its such a hard life when you're 10 days old and have caused so much trouble.
(http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w272/petsearch_coventry/HPIM0331a.jpg)
Mum seems to have forgone the litter tray last night in favour of a bloody difficult place to reach in the corner of my room under the desk. I can smell it (which is why I went looking for it) but cannot get to it - oh well it will dry up in a few weeks and tonight however hot it gets in here , she is going to have to rough it with the kittens!
-
Now that is the life! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:

I don't very often comment on cat pics, but I have to say this one is delightful..
-
Very chilled kitties 8)
Could you drop them off at mine 8.00am Sat pls Ang? (can't have you having a lie in if no-one else is can we? :evillaugh:)
We are very easy to find.
I'll email you & Lesley our contact details etc later...
(Think this is sorted now thanks Kirst :))
-
Sure you don't want me to drop them off friday evening?
:yawn:
or better still.... I'll get in me car now.... :car:
:bum:
-
What are you moaning about Ange, 7 am is a lay in at our house :rofl:
-
Thats the reason I have OH - he always does a first feed and I get to sleep in :sneaky:
-
Can I swap your OH for mine :rofl: :hug:
-
These little darlin's :Luv: are now on their way to their new foster mum, Lesley.
(Just met Angie's OH - seems the ol' gal couldn't get up in time after all :rofl:)
-
Mum and babies have arrived safely and mum is tucking into her food bowl with gusto. They travelled brilliantly with not a peep and mum is very scrummy. My BIG thanks to Patrick, very nice to meet you, :shake: and Jasmine for their assistance in this and piccies will be posted later.
-
:thanks: to you Lesley!
What a super little family... look forward to many pics & updates ;D
-
Let me just say in my defence, I woke up at 6am wih a thumping headache and took some pills (I get migraines) that were promptly thrown up.
I can drive with a migrane but try to avoid using plastic bags at the same time :sick:
have just got up as my mum has come round and am still a bit jaded!
>:(
Anyway, glad they arrived so quickly and she has settled well - the turncoat!! :Luv2:
Thanks to All - so now I've got my pokey stuffed study to myself the emergency room free again and feel a bit more relaxed about the week to come!
-
Too much information Angie :sick:
I suffer with migraines too, so do sympathise really!
Take it easy chuck, hopefully no more emergencies this weekend.
:hug:
-
Urrrggggghhhhh...hope your migraines easing off now!
Nice one to all concerned ;D
Piccies please! (but no doubt i'll be able to snatch a glimpse in a couple of weeks :evillaugh:)
-
Took some photos of them this afternoon and now my camera is playing up and won't send them to computer :-[. Will do some more on my other camera tomorrow so you can all be jealous of them.
Pleased to say mum has finally ued litter trray :sick:, think she had been holding on for the day.
-
Good one all :hug:
-

I'm afraid they just look like a mess of kittens - will try to get a better one over the weekend so you can differentiate them a bit better.
-
That video is adorable ;D :Luv2:
-
a right lot of wrigglers!!
Any homes in mind yet?

I have someone coming to visit tomorrow, someone else on Monday and one of the ladies who had a kitten off me 15 months ago is interested in either Vienna or Blip, so when they are ready I am sure the homes will already be lined up, providing home checks go okay. If none of the visitors I have are suitable, the lady who had George's brother, Dave, is also after two kittens and theirs is a lovely family where Dave is thoroughly spoilt so I know that would be fine.
Will try to get individual piccies of them later.

Wouldn't they prefer to listen to Mozart for their development? :rofl:

*urge to kitten-nap rising* *no must fight it * Yes No Yes No........ :Crazy:
I'm on my way round Lesley....can't resist that cuteness anymore!
-
If you think they're cute, you should see the four I've just picked up :naughty: but they are only here temporarily - mum has been killed and I'm just weaning them and they go back to their other mummy. :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Thats was just a wriggling mass of furness :Luv2:
-
Yay! Vienna! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
They are all so scrummy....felt like diving in for tummy rubs ahhhh! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
they are absolutely adorable Lesley.... :Luv2: :Luv2: could just eat em all up! ;)
I take it the woman realised it was a little more hard work than she first thought with the other 4 then! good on ya xx
-
Lesley has just drawn my attention to this thread - I don't know how I managed to miss it before - and I think it's lovely that there is now a little tortie Blip :Luv:
-
Well if Ange has her way, there are now two little tortie Blips. :rofl: :Luv2:
-
Just watched that vid and now I want to come and give them cuddles again! Kittens are addictive.

(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/eightlivesleftkittenrescue/HPIM0051.jpg) and Blip who doesn't like photo shoots and always has to be asleep when they take place.
(http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/eightlivesleftkittenrescue/HPIM0054.jpg)
Pippa has been the perfect mum and is a really sweet cat who take everything in her stride - though the hoover is something to be avoided, :Luv2:.
-
they look awesome :) and massive
-
They are gorgeous....coming along a real treat! :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Just think , with luck my family will be looking like that in a couple of weeks! :Luv2:
Glad they have some homes lined up - you see Covcats are in great demand!
(well actually the number of requests for kittens have dropped to almost 0 here, and thats with 9 kittens and two pregnant mums in the wings - I hope thats not it until December!)
-
They are looking well ;D and I see that baby Blip shares her namesake's lack of enthusiasm for the camera ;)
-
Blimey, haven't they grown in a couple of weeks!
