Title: Tabasco
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on July 20, 2007, 12:17:11 PM
Tabasco was brought to me early yesterday evening; a lady had lost her cat 2 weeks ago and got a 5 week old kitten as a replacement, her missing cat (entire tom) returned yesterday so Tabasco was surplus to requirements; he doesn`t realise what a lucky escape he`s had.
He is 7 weeks old with a huge wormy belly and  a very gunky eye which I cleaned and applied fucithalmic to last night,its really helped,took him to vets this morning as he is sneezing too and his temp is 103 so vet says we have caught him just in time,he`s had a couple of injections and hopefully will be fine.

Ahhh what a little sweetheart ... he looks like a mini version of my Sox (RIP).

Poor little darling ... 5 weeks old and sent to a new home for 2 weeks then given up again  :(   at least he is in the best place now ... getting lots of TLC.

Post by: Tiggy's Mum on July 20, 2007, 17:35:30 PM
He's so cute, I can't believe he was rehomed so young and even worse returned like an item of unwanted clothing (although of course he didn't come from Paws Inn).  Am just grateful he found his way to the Inn where he is guaranteed to find the best forever home, what I would give for that home to be with me  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: 
Title: Re: Tabasco
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on July 20, 2007, 18:09:02 PM
I should say we traced the mother cat but sadly Tabasco`s litter mates had been "got rid of" womans words;we are going to pay to have her cat spayed.
Title: Re: Tabasco
Post by: CurlyCatz on July 20, 2007, 18:25:36 PM
well as much as it makes my blood boil that "she" isnt paying for mother to be spayed, i'm just glad she's going to be done.  Perhaps she could be persuaded to atleast fork out for drontal at the very least and perhaps vaccs..although i've no doubt that would be pushing it.
Title: Re: Tabasco
Post by: cambsgirl on July 22, 2007, 12:02:14 PM
oh bless him, i am somewhat shocked that someone could so quickly 'replace' a cat that has gone missing, bruiser has been missing 11 days now, and as much as his sister is missing him, i wouldnt considerfinding her a friend for probably 3 months, we have 2 other cats to keep her company, but they aren't great pals like she is with bruiser as they are so much older.

is it normal for people to do this so quickly?  however the story fills me with great hope that Bruiser will still turn up.
Title: Re: Tabasco
Post by: Christine (Blip) on July 22, 2007, 12:28:29 PM
bruiser has been missing 11 days now, [... ] the story fills me with great hope that Bruiser will still turn up.

We all understand what you are going through  :scared: and have everything crossed that Bruiser will saunter back soon.

Yes, there are many cases where cats have been missing for a lot longer than 11 days - I myself reunited a cat (Zsa Zsa) with her family last summer - she had been missing for three months and they had given up hope.

Just to say that I got to cuddle Tabasco yesterday and he is real cutie!  He is tiny, but VERY vocal! 

While I love them all...I have to say my vote still goes to the black and while cupboard babes.  It is a shame that most people calling the Inn at the moment will only consider the tabbies and gingers.   :(

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on July 23, 2007, 08:12:37 AM
aww, bless the little mite, can't believe people were giving them away so young and then she didn't want him once her other cat was back, but he is lucky and will get a wonderful home now.
Title: Re: Tabasco
Post by: Teresa Pawcats on July 23, 2007, 11:07:24 AM
Looking at him this morning you`d never believe he had been poorly;his eye is clear and no sneezing. He is a greedy little gannet who likes to sing the Feed me song non stop despite being wormed.  :)

Erm.. Let me be the first to say that Carl was a puddle of droooooool when he saw the little man. Never seen someone go so gaga for a cute little kitten. Tabasco is gorgeous. Adorable little tyke.  And Carl was the first person Tabasco stayed still enough for all day! :shify: :evillaugh:

Just received this update on our boy

Hope this e mail finds you and all your feline loved ones well! 
Tabasco has settled in remarkably well and already established himself
at the top of the pecking order, taking over the computer room with all
his new toys.  He is a little purrbox and we all love him dearly
already.  Fletcher the dog is giving him a wide berth, although they
are getting acquainted gradually.  We have all talked alot about Dolly
and Karen, especially, would like to see her rehomed.  Tabasco is very
playful and enjoying lots of attention at the moment but when we all go
back to school in September he will be alone for most of the day.  If
you still have Dolly and think that we may be able to offer her the
right sort of home, we would like to take her in.  We understand that
she will need some special care for the next few weeks

I am soo happy
Title: Re: Tabasco
Post by: ClaireR on August 14, 2007, 11:40:26 AM
What a great email.  I am so pleased that he has landed on his little paws.  He must be so happy and I know that Dolly Doodle going to live with him is a match made in heaven!

Well done - another 2 little lives have been saved and been given the best chance for a full and happy future.

Claire xx
