Title: Thanks to BURTON JOYCE CAT WELFARE & KIRKBY CATS HOME Our 1st Cat Pootle!!
Post by: Crazy Jo on April 02, 2009, 19:07:11 PM
Hi everyone,

new to this forum, so thought we would say hi to all  :)

Big thanks to Brenda at Burton Joyce Cat Welfare for putting us in contact with Phil and Sandra at Kirkyby Cats home in Kirkby in Ashfield, I think they work they do is fantastic and I know they make many cats very happy and give then that second chance.

We picked up little 7 month old 'Fern' at the weekend and we have renamed her Pootle the cat.

She has settled in fine and has found many places in the house to fall asleep, she loves lots of fuss and attention and is purring as I type now on my lap.

Now hopefully I can attach some pics of Pootle laying on a rather stylish tiger fleece, in one of her sleeping spots.

xx Crazy Jo  ;)

 :welcome:Oh my what a gorgous tortie - and welcome to the world of Tortitude!

We here at the Clan have currently 3 Torties with us - The ferals Amber pretty much like Pootle for colour and Xian my Shorthaired brindle tortie and baby Beijing a longhaired brindle hooligan

Our late Miss gracie was a longhaired tortie feral and Beijings Mum was also a tortie with white

Oh and the Clan is made up of many colours and also has a ragdoll to - the Clan numbers 43 cats and their pets our 3 dogs!

Hi and  :welcome: to Purrs,

Pootle is  :Luv2: :Luv2:.  I am also owned by a little tortie terror .... if you have never been owned by a tortie before you will soon discover the delights of this "gang".   If you are an experienced tortie carer then I understand why you chose to have another one in your life!  They really are "special" LOL.

I'm sure you'll have a great time on here.

Looking forward to hearing more about Pootle and her antics.

Sam, Foxy, Zephyr and Rossi xxxx
