Yep, it's "those" ads again. Timid girl who is apparently "showing" is looking for a new home. I've emailed them twice and they've offered her to me! Can any rescues help at all?
-
Hi i have offered to help Dawn ot with a mum and babies if she doesn't need my help i can take this mum to be until some where else comes free i live in the West Mids but can't get to Derby as i'm awfu wlith long distance driving.I'm not a rescue but if there is no where else i'm here.
-
Thanks MM. :)
-
I would be happy to help with transporting if that helps.
-
Thanks Moira - waiting for the responsible adult to get in touch with me. I'm thinking if MM is alright with this plan I'll phone Derby CP and ask them to put the cat on their waiting list.
I think I might need MMs details for that, but will call and find out after I get a definite response to my last email. (Which I managed not to lose my temper in.)
-
I want to thank bonnielass for finding a safe place for this girl to have her kittens. Apparently, the cat in question is only 18 months old herself. :doh:
-
The thanks really should go to Andrea at RACR as she has arranged for one of her fosterers to take this little girl as its urgent that she is out asap :hug:
-
I didn't know that part. ;) Then another huge thank you to Andrea. :hug:
-
It wasnt definate but as the kittens and Cassie are,nt leaving till next weekend i was struggling where to put her and after speaking with Andrea she tried her foster homes to see if anyone could take her, luckily one of them can but not until the middle of August so Andrea is going to take her till everythings sorted rather then her being given away to anyone who will take her, so hopefully she will have her kittens in a secure place now and be safe from harm and then she will be neutered and put up for re-homing to someone who will look after her as she should be ;D
-
Poppy is now in the care of Andrea (RACR) who has just sent me these pictures. I had to share them; how lovely is she?!
-
Isnt she just :Luv: an Andrea says she is only about a yera old and that also he has another female their as well who probably isnt neutered,he has hinted that he would be willing to take her back after shes had the kittens :sneaky: NO WAY ,anyway she is now safe and will be looked after :hug:
-
:Luv2:
-
She is gorgeous! :Luv:
Well Done to all concerned in helping this mum to be out! :Luv: :hug: :hug:

Sorry for late post here, been a bit busy.
Poppy is adorable to say the least. The pictures dont do her any justice at all. I would def say she is around 11 months mark, definatly not 18 months like the guy said. She has pregnant tummy but it isnt large, but nipples are prominant and she has started cleaning fur away around them, so any time soon, maybe a small litter? She is soooo friendly and loving bless her and as she hardly has a tail (small stump) it looks like it is wagging like a dog, very cute :Luv2: The guy reckons she is only 4 weeks pregnant :-:
Once our fosterer comes back in 2 weeks Poppy will be going to stay with her, she is a brilliant foster mum and fostered 4 of RACR's caravan cats (Charlie, Lola (girl who had eye removed) Anya and leo) and did wonders with those cats.
Poppy will be spayed, vaccinated and chipped when she is able to after raising her kittens and found a loving home :)
I will try and get some better pictures, my camera isnt the best lol. At the moment im trying to let her settle and make sure she isnt stressed with coming into new surroundings. She doesnt seem to happy being in a pen but with the surroundings being new and im not sure how she is with dogs, I didnt want her giving birth somewhere we couldnt reach her or wasnt safe.
-
What is it with cats and my bathroom sink lol.

Giving her time out of pen but restricted to bathroom :)
-
Poppy is truly adorable. I love her little stumpy tail and her black nose. :Luv: Wonder what happened to her tail.... :scared:
-
Not sure what happened to her tail? makes you wonder though. I love the way it wags. She is soo adorable. Appetite for england also but thats not surprising with bubba in tummy.
-
Bless her, the wagging is probably her attempt at swishing the bit of tail she has. How's the pregnancy going? Is she coping?
-
she does look a very healthy cat though - what a pity she wasn't spayed
-
Yeh, i said to faye imagine she had full tial, it would be swishing, bless her.
She seems to be coping very well and is a happy contented girl :)
It is a shame she wasnt spayed though, bless her.
-
Oh bless her, she's a beauty. Her tail is very sweet! :Luv2:
-
How's Poppy doing today? :)
-
Poppy is doing fine :) She is so funny. Just been sweeping up the cat litter kicked out litter tray and she jumped on my back lol. I stood slowly to try and hold her as worried she would fall and next thing I know she was on my shoulders licking my ear. Was pretty difficult actualy getting her off as didnt want her to fall and have to be gentle cause of her tum. She really does have a funny character and real poppet.
-
I can just see an older child loving to have a cat like Poppy, to carry around and interact with
-
She is briliant with kids and loves my two. Best part is, not once has she got claws out, even when jumping on you to get a grip! Infact thismorning I checked she had claws cause i wondered if she had been de clawed, nope she hasnt, just a super gentle girl.
Right, Poppy is booked for an ultra sound scan on friday morning (providing kittens arent born by then.) Our vet is away and I never trust locams im afraid as had too many bad expereinces. My vet is the best. When I popped in this morning the locam was no bloody good so re booked all appointments needed here for friday and didnt bother today.
-
She sounds like an absolute doll! :Luv2:
Good luck with her for her ultra sound on Friday, thats if she is still hanging in there as she has quite a tum on her! :Luv: :hug: :hug:
-
Just to update on Poppy and sorry taken so long as been so busy!
Poppy has been moved to a local foster home that is more calmer for her. We didnt do the scan because moving her stressd her and dont want to add any more stress. She has settled in lovely :)
No kittens as yet :Crazy: and she is huge now bless her.
-
:Luv2: she is gorgeous and so glad she is now settled
-
Great to hear Poppy is doing so well. :)
-
Poppy has just had 3 kittens and has coped very well, took everything her stride and so relaxed and happy bless her.

Despite birthing boxes available, poppy chose to go intocrner of the room and have them on the carpet. She seems proud of herself and depsite just going through labour she still demands her fusses and cuddles off foster mum :Luv2:
-
Just been told, the kitten which has most white has a stumped tail like Poppy, so it must be Poppy was born that way and hereditary.
-
Yeayyy! Go Poppy - what a wonderful little girl. :Luv: What are the kittens called? ;)
-
What a lovely picture she makes with her babies :Luv: thank you for taking her Andrea and making sure she is safe :hug:

-
:Luv2: Poppy looks so content, bless them all :Luv:
-
Congratulations to all involved! ;D
Thank "foster mum" for getting them pics, very fast indeed... Just as we like em! :Luv: :hug:
-
I think because poopy is so laid back she allows photos of her new babies to show them to the world. Faye has now put clean towels down so poppy and babies are warm and clean. Poppy is fine with Faye holding kittens so whilst she put her some clean bedding down she grabbed these :Luv2:
Im smitten with the one in 3rd pic thats most white on :Luv2:

As soon as faye is in site, Poppy purrs and rolls about wanting a fuss, then the kittens hang on teats and go flying :Crazy: lol. Silly Poppy loving her fusses her so much lol.
-
Aw! Them photo's are brilliant, is the 3rd on down the one who has the stubby tail like mum?
What a good girl Poppy is, she obviously has full trust in Faye! :Luv: :hug:
-
yes that one has stubby tail also.
The markings are just adorable :Luv2:
-
She's a wonderful girl isn't she? Look how trusting she is. :) Any closer to names for the little ones yet? Are they male or female?
-
AWWW how GORGEOUS are those babies :Luv: :Luv: - Poppy looks every inch the proud Mum. xx
-
Not sure whats males or females yet, no names decided yet but think the black on she shluld be called Bagheera :D
-
what a lovely family :Luv2:
I'm sure there is a baby Stumpy in there :Luv:
-
Oh bless their tiny wee paws, and Poppy is just adorable :Luv2: :Luv2:
I'm still obsessed with the name Quinn as J wouldn't let me use it for Mr Poot :evillaugh: should you need any boy names :Luv2:
-
I really like the name Nyx for a black cat - or Nebi. (Means panther. ;)) Girls names - Hira and Hebe are pretty.
-
Went to visit Poppy and babies today, Poppy is just a mega mum and so relaxed and happy. The kittens are adorable :Luv2:
We have 2 girls and 1 boy. The boy is the black and white (mainley black) The girl with stumpy tail is so utterly gorgeous :Luv2: Stump isnt the word, literaly no tail at all.
All are doing very well :)
-
So you could use the names I suggested? ;) Such utter cuties - Poppy is a little love.
