Title: More phone calls, more ferals to sort with babies and also a Birman
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on July 07, 2008, 12:53:29 PM
The phone has been non stop today, my head is scrambled, I really need a holiday  :tired:  I've got more mum's and kittens to sort, all wildies, nowhere to put them but managed to persuade the guy to let one of the mum's go back when spayed.  Also had a guy on the phone suffering from his health, has a gorgeous 6 year old Birman, fab with dogs, cats, kids etc and needs a home so if anyone knows of anyone, I should have a piccie soon of him, please let me know  :-:

No holiday for years,  not sure on numbers but the ferals will be going back  :agree:  The only problem I've got is kittens  :tired:  I've got about 15 feral kittens to sort  :oh noo:

He sounds sooooo scrummy, and poor guy doesn't really want to part but he has other cats as well and everythings a little too much for him  :(  This little boy has always been an indoor cat so he would have to be indoors  :shy:

I understand, if we all took in the cats we wanted/felt sorry for, we would be done for hoarding  :evillaugh:

I'm the same with Fatipuss - I know OH would kill me  :scared:

 :evillaugh:  :evillaugh:

Anyway, I've managed to trap 4 ferals this afternoon, all are in the vets waiting for their ops tomorrow.  I was nearly in tears with one of them, he/she was shaking like a leaf and looked so frightened, this is the part I hate but it's for the best  :'(  Went to check out another mum and kittens at a vicarage, guy knew I was going round after I'd been to the vets and he's nowhere in bloody sight  >:(  >:(  I knocked on the door umpteen times and also rang and rang and rang  :tired:  Anyway, I bunged some food under his decking and left a few tins by his front door as he's not bothered to feed the mum and babies, said she was coping really well by catching magpies, mice etc, sounds such an easy life for her  :sneaky:

The good thing with the ferals is they'll be going back as soon as they've recovered from surgery so it will only be for a few days.  The youngsters, I'm going to try and get places for as I'm too stressed at the moment with all the mither, the phone is non stop and my head feels like it's going to explode and my energy levels are running at an all time low  :tired:  At this rate, this lot will bloody kill me  :shocked:

All the little boys are back from the vets now, all are extremely frightened bless them  :'(  I've covered their cage up and given them something to eat and in the morning, they can go home again.  I'll try and get a couple of piccies later once they've calmed down a little  :Luv2:  :Luv2:

The nasty Josephine has just let my son get her on his hand and climbed onto his shoulder  :Crazy:  She's not attempted to bite any of us whilst she's been here which I'm surprised about as she's meant to be really naughty apart from with her mum  :Luv2:  :Luv2:

I released these little ones back yesterday before I went over to Manchester, just spoke to Lynn now and they all came running out for food when she went up in the afternoon, so pleased about this as you worried they get too traumatised by the vet visit  :Luv2:  They had a full check over whilst in there, wormed, deflead, anal glands done and teeth and ears checked and they got a clean bill of health  :Luv:

It's amazing how quick the little boys recover, I still feel awful on them but at least it's done now.  They did have a new haircut whilst in the vets as well though so it hasn't done their street cred any good, they had their sides shaved so it was easier to spot them again if they went into the traps when I'm doing the others  :evillaugh:

Anal glands and mohicans, you'll be lucky to get any more after the others see what happens   :rofl:

Oh I wish I coud have him- I want another babe to make my family complete.
He sounds lovely - but me thinks he woldl need to be indoors cat tho  :'(
Just been looking at Clover - so many babies on here - I want them all and a bigger house of course.
 Plus would have to get  rind of OH if that many lol.
I think one more would be perfect - then I would have 3 babes. Tibby is lonely as Lucy does not take him at all - tollerates him I would say. he he goes near her - she hisses at him - what a grump.  Tibby needs a friend.

The gorgeous Josephine went home to her mum today, it seems really quiet without her and I'm sure my own parrots have noticed the difference as well.  Her mum was over the moon that she behaved herself, apparently the carers and anyone who has contact with her are petrified, and yet she was a little babe whilst she was here.  I even took some piccies of Craig holding her and shown them to her mum so she could see she can be nice when she wants to be  :Luv2:  :Luv2:  Eventually she will be coming here to live but I hope she has a long while yet with her mum, you can tell she's well loved and is an important part of her mums life  :Luv:  :Luv:
