Hello Everyone

Sorry, if this is the wrong place to post this.

I'm in West Yorkshire, so not sure if any of you are close to me or not, but I do have some spare time when I'd love to help in some way. I have a fairly large cat run with an indoor area outside in my back garden that could be used, if needed.

I'm also available to do any of your web design or website work that you might need a hand with.

Please feel free to contact me if you need my help.

Well there is Cat Action Trust 1977 Leeds branch which I'm a member of and they can always use fostering folks.

Any website stuff you can always go onto CatChat.org as they look for help too.

ps - I'm out near Castleford but work in Leeds ;)

Hi Sally  :welcome:

I am sure your offer of help will be snapped up and well appreciated - I posted a week ago today (I think it was) offering help and we now have a lovely foster boy staying with us!

They closed a while back and I never asked why, though I had chances to ;)

If you want the number for CAT1977 let me know, it's an older guy who runs the branch (he doesn't have a computer) but he goes all over the place considering he lives in Mickelsfield or somewhere...

I've got two feral kittens that I'm fostering for them who are coming along slowly and it was 3 months having them in the house on the 16th.

Cat Chat did have a forum and when they are able to will be opening it up again to focus on rescues, I expect it will be soon. I think they would really appreciate any help you want to offer Sal.

Sounds like another good offer  ;D

Cat Chat forum closed one year ago in November and thats where many of us came from. Tan and her OH Chappie got this site up in an hour and since then it has been made bigger and better month by month. The timing of the CC closure was bad for us because we had an annual fundraiser about to start two weeks on.

We were not sure how it would go cos at the time we had 200-250 members but the auction ran and we raised over £1600 for Rons Rescue in Brighton, who was down to his last pennies.

Since Purrs opened we have raised over £5000 pounds for rescues on here due to the generosity of our members and our Christmas auction will run for the third time in late November and we also will have a Diary going on sale with pictures of babes from Purrs. All money will go to Rescues on here. By then we will be one year old and long may Purrs continue  ;D

Just thought you would like a little background  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hiya Gill

Thanks for that - I thought I recognised some of the names, but couldn't remember where I'd seen them before! Now, it's all clear  ;D

Great to meet up with you all again.

That's a fantastic amount of money that's been raised, long may it continue!

If Catchat hadn't closed Purrs wouldn't exist ....but as Gill Said Tan and Chappie saved the day and with the help of several of the members from CatChat we were able to let practically all the "regular" contributors where we were moving to ... here!

I'm sure you offer of assistance will be greatly appreciated and your catrun will soon be back in use  ;)

Goodness!

How fast the word spreads!

Just had a phone call asking me to take two 2.5 boys whose owner died at the weekend and the family live in London.

Apparently they're brothers.

How could I resist! I'm off to see them after 6 tonight  ;D

Well Hello!

Sorry I've not posted again for a while, I've finally got around to posting pictures of these two lovely boys who are looking for a new home!

They're absolutely adorable boys, both 2.5yrs old and fantastic natures. I'd be tempted to keep them if I didn't have my own two! lol

(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y261/Sally45/Jake.jpg)

This is Jake.

And this is the very handsome, long haired Billy!
