Well, I was early and passing Caroline's (the foster mum) house so decided to go in and see the kittens I was "selling" to the people who wanted 2 kittens. The original plan was Sharon didn't have any kittens but another area did and we were going to homecheck on their behalf. Yesterday, a man called and said 3 kittens had been dumped in his driveway - by the time somebody got there to pick them up, one had been in RTA :'( - Caroline got them at 8.30pm yesterday and they are in her study. She has a lot of pets ;D - she has several dogs & some cats + the foster who was supposed to be in the pen was indoors (she doesn't like them being in pens) + the kittens in the study + her 2 persians in the hallway - they were fosters that she kept as they were 12+ (its a big house - more like a reception area really :evillaugh: ). Anyway, I digress. The kittens were hiding and she got them out. The boy is black and called Rupert (named by Caroline's little boy) he is a cuddlebum and laid on his back with his back legs up and his tail between his legs and just wanted a fuss. The girl is a gorgeous tabby/tortie (wish I took the camera). I then went to meet the girl and her mum but the girl had forgotten about the appointment and gone horseriding with friends >:( - Her mum was nice and they have a nice big house with a huge garden and lots of areas the cats will love. What sold her to me the most was after she said she would be happy to take them regardless, I said I wasn't sure she would want the black one, she said "what's it colour got to do with anything" - I thought she will be a good mum from that minute. Anyway, fingers crossed, they are homed ;D

Want to thank Mark for doing HC for me on this occassion. Luckily we rehomed two little un out of it. Just goes to prove if people wait..!! and dont mind what they take. Very oftern we get let down with people so dont do the HC until after have made a decision.
Anyhows Carloline is a fab fosterer she never says "no" being a nurse herself she has saved kittens in the past and pulled Humphrey back from the brink.. She has also had some terminal cases and never ceases to amaze me.. The two persians she has taken on, one has terminal cancer but the other is old but healthy. They rules the house. And your right its a very large house with loads of space, one time this year she had 12 kittens in her play room.. All healthy and happy. She is like gold dust and will take the good with the bad and she is also a very nice person...
Without people like Caroline we wouldnt help so many cats and some cats owe their lives for her dedication!!
More homechecks coming up no doubt.... If you see me can you make sure you give me back the forms (or leave them with Caroline whenever you are passing, just put through her door) Thanks alot..
