Title: Just had an email from Nicky in Blackpool.....
Post by: JackSpratt on September 20, 2009, 20:28:31 PM
She has just taken into her care 53 kittens and the same number of adults. Please ask around, the poor girl is run off her feet!

Flabergasted. How can she possibly cope? I can't adopt any more but will certainly help with transport run(s) if fosters or other rescue places can take any.

I think she's managed to build up a few fosterers since her appeal. Will ask her for more details ASAP.

I just emailed a few people but they don't know anyone looking at the moment - but they are going to ask around as well.

Poor little kitties and poor Nicky being swamped like that  :(

no one rescue surely can cope with over 100 cats at one go

does CP HQ help out in cases like this?

I don't think so trigger - have mailed for more info and will let you all know more when I do. ;)

Thanks Den. :)

CP HQ would usually help in cases like this by contacting surrounding branches and asking them all for help even if this means transporting - they have done so in the past so not sure why you think they wouldn't help now

Because there's been no mention of them in Nickys emails, Liz. But I will clarify that.

if you get down as far as bucks, I can help transport as well

OK, got confirmation that Nicky IS working with the CP on this one - there were 60 cats taken from one house, the CP took half and she took the other half. The other cats that make up the numbers come from repossessions. She has managed to home a few already and there's been a "bit of swapping around" to make space in foster homes but they've managed!

glad to hear CP helped out - it must be reassuring to know that there is some backup if a really dire situation occurs

Crikey, 60 cats in 1 house  :Crazy:

We could also help with transport if any homes offered via our route.

any update on this rescue, JS?
Title: Re: Just had an email from Nicky in Blackpool.....
Post by: JackSpratt on October 06, 2009, 19:55:12 PM
I think she's managed to rehome a fair few. Will email and double check.

She says the rehoming is "going alright(ish!)" I got another email this morning - from the Blackpool Gazette saying they'd run an article on the cats. ;D

Post by: Kay and Penny on October 07, 2009, 10:38:22 AM
I would be interested to know when the article comes out, as it can probably  be accessed on the internet

taking in a couple of cats can be difficult, so over 100 at one go must be quite a story

60 from one house, but another 40 odd from different places as well, as I understand it
Title: Re: Just had an email from Nicky in Blackpool.....
Post by: JackSpratt on October 07, 2009, 15:55:47 PM
The 60 were "shared" between the local CP and Nicky (I think I put that further down on the post :scared:) but yes she did get another 40 in at the same time and has done a pretty good job of finding homes so far. The publicity will most definitely help though!
