Just had an old man in the vets, he's approximately 13 years old and desperate for a home of his own. His owner died a couple of years ago and since then he's been living on the streets relying on neighbours for food. I've had him in the vets today for a check up and blood test, he is in pretty good shape considering, I've had to have a couple of mats of fur shaved off him and he's had Stronghold treatment as well. I've got him booked into the vets on Wednesday to have a much needed dental on his remaining teeth but what I need is someone to give this poor guy a home :( I will be keeping him here until he's had his dental but sadly after that he will have to go back as I really don't want to be taking in any more. If anyone can help, can they please post on this thread :hug: :hug: I will take some pics of him later and post them :Luv:
-
Do you know how he is with other animals at all :hug:
-
Not sure at the moment but he does get on ok with a cat that is living in the flats near to where he's been sleeping.....he seems a pretty laid back fella, did have a nip at the vet but he was having bloods done and was getting a little stressed :) In the time that I've spent with him, I think he'll be ok....where he comes from, there are lots of cats hanging round and no one has said that he doesn't get on with others so I take it he is ok.
-
Looking forward to seeing pictures of this old man :
-
:( Poor old fella, such a shame when they are left behind, best of luck for him xx
-
Dawn, whereabouts in Wales is he? I'll post about him on my Facebook.
-
He's in Flintshire, North Wales and with me at the moment until he has had his dental.
-
Just wish we were closer Dawn! :hug: good luck with this old boy.
-
Any pictures yet, Dawn?

Any pictures yet, Dawn?
I've not had chance yet, he's in the vets tonight for his dental tomorrow and I'll get some pics when I pick him up :hug:
-
Cool, will post full details on Facebook as soon as you do.
-
It might be me being a bit blonde, but why do you have to put the cat back where he came from Dawn ?, why cant you get him to a rescue ?, surely he is going to be extremely stressed going back to a situation that he thought he left and you know what other cats are like they wont know who he is and he will have to go through the whole fighting for position rountine again. I understand that he needed vet care, but surely it would have been better to have left him where he was until a permanent place could have been found for him. I might have got the totally wrong end of the stick here that is not unusual for me :-[

Got the totally wrong end of the stick....the cat needed vet care and I'm not going to leave a cat that needs help regardless of my plans...I do cat rescue but I am meant to be packing it in, other that I am chocca, financially....absolutely skint and I mean skint, he will be fine going back as he's only been away a few days. The area he is from, he has been there all his life and everyone knows him, he is being fed and basically all he needs is a bed which I am still working on. All the rescues in this area and probably around the country are full to bursting, we are now in full swing with kittens coming out of everyones ears and when anyone has phoned anyone in and around my area, my number gets given out. I'm in the middle of trapping some ferals for spaying/neutering....the old guy literally lives across the road from a large rescue, they gave him my number telling him they hadn't got the resources or the time to take a trap over the road so these cats could be sorted >:( These people get plenty of donations.......I don't and I'm a one man band. If the cat has to live another winter out which I am trying to avoid I want him to be "as healthy as can be"......he has had his coat dematted which would have been uncomfortable for him and he's been deflead and wormed, his teeth are in a mess which willl make it uncomfortable for him so he's having them done today.....so no, leaving him would have been heartless in my eyes.....this way, he has a better chance at coping with life on the outside if need be.
-
Barry as he is now called is back home....he's had 2 teeth removed and is on medication for a few days....he's also had a bit of a bath whilst in the vets ;) I will let him settle and try and get some piccies of him later :Luv:
-
Cool, looking forward to them. :) :)
-
glad that Barry is ok :Luv:
-
glad old boy is OK Dawn. look forward to piccies
-
Piccies of the little lad :Luv:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
:Luv2: :Luv2:- He looks similar to Baggins who lives round the corner fromme -but has moved into Winstons house on my doorstep for the last 4 weeks .
Hope he recovers ok -would be great if someone would give him his forever home though .
-
It's a shame as I think he will end up a little snugglebum, he is a little nervous and does shy away if you move too quick near him but he's getting more ameniable to being fussed :Luv:
-
Dawn, are his eyes just like that from the anaesthetic, as they dont look right on the pics?
-
Poor old lad, he looks so forlorn and sad :( whats going to happen to him Dawn?
-
Posted him on my Facebook, Dawn.

It could just be the flash off the camera Des, his eyes don't look too bad....

Not sure yet hun, I will give you a bell later anyway for a chat....I've got a couple at the back of me who catnapped one of mine a couple of years ago, I'm going to see if I can get them to take Barry on as well ;)
Posted him on my Facebook, Dawn.
Thanks JS, got him on mine as well but Sean didn't help with his warped sense of humour by posting he looked angry on the pic along with another comment.... :sneaky:
-
:Luv: ah, he looks a lovely chappie, loads of luck for him xx
-
poor little old lad he cant just be dumped back on the streets he wont last the cold winter if he was not so far away i would take him in at least he would be in a warm pen what if I sponsor him Dawn could you not keep him i would do it by pay pal. the poor little lad will be so upset to just be dumped back on the streets, I understand its not your fault Dawn I know what its like to have money worries and you have done your best but we must do something for the little old lad :( :(
-
Maybe a purrs transport run could get him to you Ron ?
I totally agree, he cant be put back out on the streets, poor old boy :(
-
Have stepped up facebook a notch - Barry is now my profile picture with an explanation. You never know, it might work!
-
Any news on the little guy yet !!
-
If people could get him to you Ron, would you look after him ?
-
I have only just noticed this! :shy: What an absolute babe he is...looks like he could turn into a pure cuddlebum.... :Luv2:
I hope between all you wonderful peeps something can be sorted for him....He just cant go back to the streets and Im sure with all the care for him here he wont! :Luv2: :hug: :hug:
-
of cause I would look after him I have never let a cat down yet, I would not have offerd if I did not mean it. I have not had a cat that I have not found a good home for yet. anyway if I cant home a cat they end up living in my house.
-
I'm happy to help with transport to Ron's if I can - I have some stuff for your car boot Ron that I need to get to you anyway!

How lovely are you :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
where does the cat need to get to and from ?? probably need Jackspratt for the transport run organisation thingeys, she is good at that :hug:
-
Diddydawn is in Flintshire north wales and Ron in Brighton
-
Ive pm's JS asking if she could arrange a transport run....ie put it in the app sect! I know the lass is trying hard for one herself at the mo too! :tired:
Hope you and JS manage to get them runs sorted (oops you know which runs I mean! :innocent:) :hug:
-
I've got a couple more people I need to hear back from and one I need to ring....I have been offered a foster home for him so if someone could sponsor him whilst he is there, that would be great as I really can't afford to lay any more out. His vet bill came to £195 and I've still not paid this :Crazy: but he is in pretty good health.....and his teeth are now done ;) It sounds awful me not being able to keep him but if only you knew the reasons and why I need to get sorted out and the cats gone.....I have no choice in the matter and with Barry, I wanted to make sure he was at least in good health if he had to be on the streets, I'm finding it hard to give up what I'm doing anyway so don't try and make me feel bad as I have done what I am able to do and still a damn sight more than a lot of people and yes he is still here at the moment.
-
Dawn, I don't think anyone was purposely trying to make you feel bad - you do a lot.
So would you like me to try and organise transport to Rons? Or would you prefer me to tout for a sponsor? ;)

Well I do feel bad even without the comments but I will have to deal with that :hug:
Preferably a sponsor and even more so, preferably a forever home....Brighton is about 5 hours from here and I really don't want him travelling that far although thanks for the offer Ron :hug:
-
I can only But offer I cant do better than that he would have had a forever home with me but its up to you 5hrs on the Road is better than being put back on the streets, the offer still stands take it or leave it.
-
Ron, I think that's really good of you. But if he doesn't have to travel for five hours that option might suit the old codger better. (Barry, not Dawn! ;)) Will the offer be a limited time only situation?
-
Not really but if a poor little cat comes along i cant say no i am only trying to help the poor little lad.
-
I know its a long way - but he would get a forever home with Ron -thats worth thinking about surely - a lovely cosy home where he will be loved and taken care of the rest of his life .
Barry is just :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
I would have thought there would be a good chance he would just sleep the journey away - but that would depend on not being handed over too much, of course
-
I agree and if he came down across Wales, I would be willing to take him onwards, not sure I could make it to Brighton but as close as I could get.
-
C'mon peeps, there is a perfectly good home on offer here.....One that you know no matter what Barry will be loved and cared for forever.... :hug:
-
I would be willing to help out on transport run, but I am not really in the right place so to speak, I am in bucks, so just outside M25 and I dont think Barry would come that way would he ? if he is then I could do say from the M40 junction 2 to the M3 Junction 3 (Camberley). I dont know if that helps at all.

Barrys transport run.

Barrys sponsorship thread.
Maybe we can work it out on which has the most response. Dawn, would that be OK with you? :hug: Ron, I think it's a lovely offer.
-
Can anyone let me know whats going on about Barry,
is he or is he not coming to me in Brighton, only it would be nice to know as i am holding a place for the little old feller
-
I think at the moment its not known Ron, but so kind of you to hold a place for him :hug:
-
Very kind indeed! :hug: :hug:
-
What is going on with poor Barry ? Ron has a place for him and we can organise a transport run but we havent heard anything :-:
-
There's a thread on the Transport Run board as well. I think people probably need to post what sort of area they are in/can do then it can be co-ordinated easily.
http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,27782.msg489493.html#new
-
Also, Dawn seemed happier with the idea of sponsorship more than transporting Barry due to his age. I'm waiting to see if she'd agree to the transporting, if there's no funding forthcoming.
-
how much does she need JS or is it just a case of anything will help??
-
I've just been told someone is willing to sponsor Barry via PM, BUT I do know his dental bill still has outstanding amounts, so I'm sure DD would appreciate whatever people could donate. :)
-
third time this has happend all to fishy for me, wont ever offer again Even offed to sponsor Barry if dawn kept him.
-
That is great that Barry has got a sponsor, I hope that works out.
I do however think that maybe Ron could have been kept in the loop a bit more instead of him having to come to purrs to find out what was going on, he firstly asked about sponsoring Barry and then he offerred a home for Barry and it seems no one got back to him, (in fact he even said he was keeping a space for him), so I wanted to say 'Ron you are a Star'
-
Daisymac, I PM'd Ron today - I only found out about the sponsor situation this morning.
Ron, did you? I was unaware of that. Dawn hasn't been on Purrs much recently to my knowledge and the only communication I have is via the threads.
If I hear anything else I'll let you know straight away.
-
But even if Barry is sponsored Dawn has made it clear that she wont keep him so where does that leave him with the winter coming??
It seems such a shame when Ron was happy to take him and offer him TLC and warmth in his twilight years - Ron you are a Diamond :hug:
-
I think that the cat should have gone to Ron, I do not like the idea of a sponsored foster without any details being made known.
I am worried about the sponsorer and how much money is involved.....I do not think this should happen.
I think Rons offer was wonderful and we know that the cat would have a forever home but not so with a foster.
How long is this foster going to keep the cat, who decides on its medical care, is there a legal document drawn up to cover the sponsor and the foster? Who is the money going to directly?
So many questions and as much as I have admired Dawns work , this one to quote Ron. 'is all too fishy for me'
I think the sponsor should make sure that there is signed paperwork giving all the details of the arrangement and until there is, do not pay out any money.
In a situation like this one must know all the details.
-
Even if the cat has a sponser where will he live? :shify:
-
Dawn said she had a foster home if sponsership could be found - whatever happens I hope Barry has warm place for the winter
-
without proper rescue back up, this is not a good arrangement, surely
I think Ron's offer was a wonderful one, and I was really hoping this old boy could have been placed into his safe keeping for the rest of his days :(
-
So what went wrong with the transport run?
This is completely out of my area so sadly I cannot help.
-
Nothing went wrong with it, it just takes time to set up but I understand that Dawn wasnt happy with it.
-
I am sure i am going to be hit on the head about this. But i think personally it was daft not to take Rons offer and give this cat a chance of a home, age nothing to do with it. Rather have a few hours of driving and end up some where nice then stay put.. Okay it would of involved alot of organising, but hey.. would bite the hand off of the person that offered an oldie a home and had rescue support as well.
As a branch of CP that have rehomed cats all over the place, unless the puss cat was physically ill and very poorly i would not transport a cat but other then that if the offer stands of a loving home or a rescue then... !?
Anyhow said my peace..
-
Have to agree....A few hours in a car is so much better that a few hours on the street and thats what this original fuss was all worryingly about! :Crazy:
-
Couldnt agree more Sharon - Im sure a transport run could be sorted for this little one
-
I agree totally with you Sharon and I am sure transport could have been arranged given a bit more time, cos it always takes time to sort something like this.
-
I agree too, we've had 2 oldies now travelled a long way one we collected from London and the other the fosterer brought up from Essexw although we offered to collect, he does have many illnesses but is fine and happy. Hope something can be sorted xx
-
he's not been rehomed, only fostered, so it can still be done
-
Am waiting for Dawns input on this..... ;)
-
I am happy to help with the start of a transport run, should it be needed again - you know where I live Dawn :)
-
I can only keep the offer open for the nixed week if DD Does not make up her mind >:( Its The poor little cat that I feel sorry for and it cant be good keeping him Caged up for all this time when there is a home in my house waiting for him I am really Beginning to wish I had not myself involved in the first place, it will make me think about Offering to take a poor little cat in out of my area again but thank you all for trying to help Ron. (Ron at lostcatsbrighton)
-
I'd say letting Barry go to Ron's is the best thing to do, for the cats own needs.
And quickly as the offer cant stand forever :shy:
-
Maybe this could be sorted off line or by email between DD and Ron....Dont think I would want to do it publicly now! :shy:
-
I think we should lock this thread till Dawn can be contacted - she is busy trapping ferals just now
-
I've been trying to contact her on another matter and haven't had any joy so think something else is going on, I know she had loads of personal stuff going on at the moment
-
I've been trying to contact her on another matter and haven't had any joy so think something else is going on, I know she had loads of personal stuff going on at the moment
All the more reason to get the cat permanently sorted, if Rons offer wasnt wanted then the polite thing to do would be to say no straight out, we all know how limited spaces are so to leave one hanging is unfair
-
OMG, I really can't believe you lot bitching >:( I haven't been on Purrs the last few days as I've been up to my eyes in it trapping ferals and kittens....and Ron, nothing is fishy about what is going on and thanks for agreeing to his comment Gill :censored: His dental bill came to £195.00 and that was including blood work.....if anyone wants to double check the vet bill, they are more than welcome :censored: I haven't even had chance to ring the lady who offered to foster him yet, that is how :censored: busy I've been.....you lot really take the biscuit :censored:
-
OMG, I really can't believe you lot bitching >:(
Hope I'm not included in this statement.... ;) Noone is questioning the vet cost. Can we have a decision on what you think is best for Barry though? :) (If you'd rather PM me that's OK.)

Not you JS....I would just love to know what is meant by the something fishy comment >:( My life for the last few years has been devoted to these cats...I was out til 2.30 am on Wednesday night trying to trap some kittens, and I doubt many of you could say you would do that for ferals, the difference is, I would :censored: I don't need to :censored: about the work I do with the cats, I deal with them 24/7. Whatever happens with Barry as far as travelling is my decision.....and mine alone, yes i appreciate the offer from Ron but I still feel it is a little far for him to be travelling and if I can get him somewhere locally, that would be my choice. I think I have been doing cat rescue long enough to know what is best for the cats in my care and I am not being rail roaded just because you lot don't like my decisions......I am not having him on a transport run going from car to car, this would be too stressful for any cat, never mind an oldie such as him.
-
Nothing went wrong with it, it just takes time to set up but I understand that Dawn wasnt happy with it.
I'd love you to fill me in on what I was apparently not happy with seeing as the only comments I've made have been on this thread :tired: On second thoughts Gill, I don't want to know...I am :censored: fuming with your comments and a couple of others and I might not be able to contain myself if I get started :sneaky:
-
I actually thought there was a problem with transport or he must be ill, I agree it is always best to home near if you can Dawn, you know the cat and what is best for him.

No Janey, the reason I haven't been back on the thread the last few days is apart from being up to my eyes, I normally get an email notification when someone responds....and I haven't had any so assumed no one had responded. The only reason I've been on today is someone had sent me a message via FB telling me there was a load of bitching going on.....nice forum I must say and considering most that are bitching are not involved in rescue.....laughable :sneaky: and no he isn't ill, he is fine but I'm still also trying to work on someone "locally" to take him.

Well I can assure you Dawn I certainly wasn’t bitching in fact tbh I didn’t even read the whole thread I was just replying to the bit about it being better to try and get transport and home further if you can’t get a home nearer and like I say that’s what I thought was the problem and was rambling on about my old cats travelling a long way (as I do :innocent:) Like I say if you can get a home nearer that’s always best for sure :hug:

As you have taken the quote out of context, you well know it was that you were not happy about the cat being transported and you have just confirmed that below.
Nobody has questioned the vet bill but I still do question a sponsored foster rather than a permanent home that was offered with Ron.
I also believe that if someone is going to be sponsoring a foster there should be paperwork to back this up so that the sponsor knows what money is involved and what it is going on and for how long.
That sounds very reasonable to me.
-
Dawn you was the one who said you would have to put the poor little cat back on the streets, I offered to take him in to my own house and give him a forever loving home, I would have thought you would have at least been in touch with me or pm me, Do you think you are the only one out there thats out saving cats I also go out at all hours day or night trapping mum and Ferrel's but i don't keep on about it, I to am very cross about the whole thing and my offer is if you don't let me know one way or another in the next 12 hours my offer ends and i will never ever offer to take on a cat out of my erea again, And I am thinking of coming of purs if i have to Dael with people who cant reply to a decent offer" Cant stop got to go out and check my traps >:( RON.

Gill, I have not taken the quote out of context at all :sneaky: One thing I can't stand is bitching and that is exactly what has happened on this thread and the laugh of it is, I was judged, hung and quartered without anyone even giving a second thought as to why I hadn't been on Purrs >:( The fishy comment...I would really love a response to what that was all about :sneaky: and as far as me not being happy about transporting him, I have only just stated that, but I hadn't before you commented so you've obviously heard it on the grapevine but not via North Wales :tired: As far as a sponsor for him, he would only have gone to a fosterer if I was 100% happy with the situation....the reason why he would have to be sponsored if he was fostered, is for the simple reason I can't afford to pay for his care whilst he's there....and most fosterers would expect this which is understandable. Also, any other cats that are "sponsored", do you make such a big fuss about them as well or is it just this one inparticular and another question, does everyone else have to approve the fosterer if I go down this route or am I allowed to choose them myself :sneaky:

Ron, as far as me being the only one helping cats, no I don't think I am but I know how busy I am and I also know what is going on in my life at the moment.....you lot haven't got a :censored: clue so don't you dare start judging me or my decisions :sneaky: And initially, there was no mention of a forever loving home....you said you would take him, there is a difference :sneaky: I have amongst other things been trying to get him a home locally so he doesn't have to travel and I am waiting to hear back from someone, that is another reason why I haven't agreed to anything on here......but regardless of anything, I am not having him traipse half way across the country unless I have no alternative :tired: Good luck with checking your traps as well Ron, hopefully you won't be out too long......
-
if he was not so far away i would take him in at least he would be in a warm pen
No mention of forever home.....thought I'd check in case I'd got the wrong end of the stick....funny how stories change along the way :shy:
The poor little cat that I feel sorry for and it cant be good keeping him Caged up for all this time when there is a home in my house waiting for him I am really
:tired:
-
Dawn, I don't think anyone was purposely trying to make you feel bad - you do a lot.
So would you like me to try and organise transport to Rons? Or would you prefer me to tout for a sponsor? ;)
Well I do feel bad even without the comments but I will have to deal with that :hug:
Preferably a sponsor and even more so, preferably a forever home....Brighton is about 5 hours from here and I really don't want him travelling that far although thanks for the offer Ron :hug:
Thats where it came from in North Wales!
As far as the other comment I was replying to Sharon who asked what happened to the transport run.
-
Ok everybody - time for bed now
I am sure that Dawn has Barry's best interests at heart and he is quite happy on Dawn's sofa at the moment
I know that you don't normally drink Dawn but I think you can treat yourself to a large Gin tonight - I know I would if I was in your shoes.
:hug: :hug:
Night night everybody :hug:

oh, how stupid I am....I'd forgotten about that comment Gill, thanks for pointing it out to me.....and I notice I had actually politely declined Ron's offer for help for him to be put in a pen, oops sorry, a forever home but surely that means the bitching was why exactly?????

Dawn I have just got back and read you post, yes i did say Barry would go in a pen i aways keep a new cat in a pen for two days in my kitchen and in all my larger pens till the other cats get used to them as indoors till my tribe have got used to them, there are 4 gages in my kitchen at the presant time. I also said if you wanted to keep Bary I would sponsor him but you never mentioned that in your last post , But like said you don't have time to read posts or send a pm,which i think is very rude, You also say you are packing in and don't have Any funds left, so what will you do with all the little Babes you catch thats the thing that makes things sound fishy, You say you have other problems so do a lot of other people I have had a lot myself in the last two months finding money for vet bills and kitten food and transport ext But you have to take one step at a time, you will find things alway turn out for the best, good luck with you finding Barry a forever loving home, but you made things look fishy by not reading the posts that were posted,I was the one who said it so don't go blaming everyone it was me and i have a right to say what I feel and so dose everyone still you will still get everyone sucking up to you. but you wont ever get any offer of help from me and i think its best left alone now,I hope things do work out for you, and yes I will always speak my mind good or bad thats me, one should never back down from what one thinks.Ron At ( LOSTCATSBRIGHTON )

Ron, there was no mention of a forever home in your initial posts and that was why I did decline the offer.....I didn't want him being transported all that way to be shoved in a pen for god knows how long so maybe if you'd have made it clear, I may have considered it. The reason I didn't jump at the idea of you sponsoring him was I was waiting for people getting back to me in regards to giving him a forever home so therefore, I'm not going to take money off you unless he was staying here and as far as not responding and you thinking it was rude....I don't go out of my way to be rude to people, I had a genuine reason for not being on Purrs and that was because I've been really busy just as you have weeks when you are not online.... I have a lot going on in my life at the moment and that doesn't give anyone the right to judge me or dig the knife in just as I wouldn't do it to anyone else :sneaky: The cats I am trapping at the moment are mostly being spayed/neutered and returned, and although I am packing it in, I want to get these sorted so at least there will be no more kittens to worry about because once I've gone, that will be it so I am trying to do as much as I can beforehand and if that makes me a bad person, then judge away......if I don't do them before I go, in a few months they'll be hundreds and no one to do them......also, there have been a lot of complaints about them and I am worried if they have any more kittens, they will be poisoned.....so god knows why me still doing what I can until I close my doors forever makes things sound fishy :Crazy: :Crazy: The comments made by you and a couple of others were uncalled for....I didn't deserve them and it only reinforces my own reasons for staying away from the forum.....and I should also add that I also say what I think....I don't need little sheep to back me up, I have my own mind and I am always honest when I'm dealing with people.....I do not need to bull :censored: and my main priority is the cats and not how many brownie points I earn or whether people like me....I honestly don't give a :censored: Also, the stuff I've got going on in my life is personal and will mean a total change and not just packing in the cat rescue side of things.....this is on top of my financial worries, so before you and others condemn me, if you can't be :censored: finding out why I haven't been around, or thinking that maybe, just maybe I have got other things on my mind besides the cats, rather than making bitchy snidey comments, then I'd appreciate it if you and others keep your comments to yourself >:( >:(
And that's where I'm also different to you and a few others, I find out the facts before making assumptions and judging....this is something you lot should consider in the future ;)
-
But like said you don't have time to read posts or send a pm,which i think is very rude,
One last point Ron, talking of being rude as you put it, I offered help by offering to post a plea out for the 20 cats that will be pts if homes weren't found......no response or pm from you......did I kick up a big fuss?.....no I didn't.....pot calling the kettle black me thinks >:(
And one last point to Gill, if you want to ban me for the comments I've made.....be my guest, I'm past caring ;)
-
Why should I want to ban you?
We are all entitled to our own opinion but it would help if you read the posts properly before sounding off against all and sundry.
The bitching or what ever you called it is in your mind only . Everyone else was concerned only about Barry and in my case also the sponsor because I think they should have correct and proper paperwork to cover themselves.
Most of us have lots going on in our lives and are struggling in one way or another and thats personal to each and every one.
-

That is :censored: Gill and you know it and I suppose it's in others mind only as well is it.....
Most of us have lots going on in our lives and are struggling in one way or another and thats personal to each and every one.
The difference being Gill, I don't start making snidey comments plus whatever I'm having to cope with, I'm still expected to sort out all the cats in North Wales and beyond :sneaky:
-
Sorry Dawn but this is just riduculous so will not be bothering to post on here any more.
-
Maybe if it was you that was being slated instead of me, maybe not so ridiculous then Gill ;)
-
And that's where I'm also different to you and a few others, I find out the facts before making assumptions and judging....this is something you lot should consider in the future ;)
That is a personal attack on Ron, Dawn, and completely unwarranted. Please withdraw it.
-
:sneaky: and what about the personal attacks on me or don't I count >:( I won't be withdrawing any statements I've made and if you don't like it, ban me....I don't give a :censored:

There are no personal attacks on you that I can see, Dawn. Disagreement and alternative advice, yes, a lot of that, but attacks - no. I must ask you again to reflect on the intemperate remarks you made to Ron: such ad hominem attacks are against the rules of the forum and the spirit of Purrs.
:thanks:
-
So making out something fishy was going on amongst other things wasn't an attack??....in my eyes I would have said this was questioning my honesty so yes, it was an attack.......my mind and my eyes must certainly be playing tricks on me :scared: As I've already said, I will not be withdrawing anything I've said nor apologising....I meant every word and if what I've said is against forum rules, so are a few of the other comments that are made by others...but then again, the fact that I've said it makes it against the rules, not what was said....if someone else had said it, there would be no mention ;) and :thanks:
-

That is not so.
As I've already said, I will not be withdrawing anything I've said nor apologising....I meant every word
I'm truly sorry to hear that. I shall implement a ban of one week for an attack on another member; I'm mindful that you do have many issues to deal with at present and I am taking that into account.

I am afraid that I have to agree that the word "fishy" was unjustified.
At the time Dawn was unable to respond as she was out until all hours trapping ferals because no other rescue would do it and the neighbours had complained about them.
-
If Dawn is banned for a week that will be it - I fear that she will not return
This is a dreadful shame as Dawn does so much for all the cats in her care
Dawn is obviously very upset because she was up at all hours posting and then had to do a full days work today
-
I think that this should all be left well alone, everyone has vented and at the end of the day we all give a dam about cats
I know Dawn has gone above and beyond the call in a lot of cases and she does care about each and everyone in her care
The rest of us in rescue have at some point had some big backing - I had CP etc, now we trap and neuter on our own - I do however get neutering vouchers cause I ask for them - the injections and ID chip i give llthe cats passing through the clan at my expense and I have spent a lot of time out of work and it costs about £100 per cat so yes I am aware of what Dawn is going through
We all care for cats and at teh end of the day we will never agree on the best way forward for each and everyone so perhaps we should agree to disagree and do what we do best care for our own cats and all the ones fortunate enough to pass through our doors and go on to new caring owners - with ferals that isn't always the case as they aren't the best advert for a lap cat - I know we have 30 of the darlings in various stages of hate to nearly like us! :shocked:
-
Can Dawn come back on the forum now please??
-
If the week is up then thats up to her!
Editted to add: I am just checking this out so be patient please cos dont know how long it will take
-
I have only just read this thread and feel it's such a shame that this situation turned out like this you all do such a good job taking in these poor furbaby's and finding them good homes, i admire you all for this and only wish i was able to help in some way.Please don't argue with each other you should be patting eachother on the back for all your hard work :hug:
Come guys get it together :Luv2:
-
Me and Dawn had a bit of a fall out, its all in the past :( let it end now, and i hope Dawn feels the same way as me and comes back on the forum, please god the little cat has found a forever loving home,thats what counts :hug:
-
Just to let everyone know I won't be coiming back on the forum again....and it was nice knowing most of you and it would be nice to keep in touch :hug: Apart from the ban which was unwarranted considering other comments that were made against me, I really have got more important things going on right now....Tan, thanks for everything you've done for me in the past, you've been a star and I really appreciate it....but I would like my membership deleting :thanks: :hug: :hug:
-
sorry to hear that Dawn, I hope you will keep in touch - hope you manage to get yourself sorted out soon :hug:
-
I will Dawn and thanks :hug:
-
Dawn - don't do it
I have tried to ring you but there has been no reply and I have left a couple of messages - please ring me ASAP
:thanks:
-
It's not up for discussion Yvonne, I've made my mind up....sorry :hug: I will give you a ring later at home though :hug: :hug:
-
Really, really sorry to hear that - having a problem with personal messages, keep timing out on me so I cannot send you a pm.
Look forward to hearing from you later.
:hug: :hug:
-
This is very sad !
Dawn was always one of the first to offer help.
You will be missed Dawn xxxx
-
:hug: You take care of yourself.

You will be sorely, sorely missed. One of my true friends found through Purrs. :Luv2: Take care of yourself xxxxxxxxxx :hug:
-
Dawn, it's very sad to hear that, you were one of the very first people to speak to me on Catchat and offer me advice about the Proot. I really wish you all the best and take care of yourself. :hug:
-
I too am sorry you are leaving Dawn, Only just read this thread, I think some of the problems were that we don’t always write exactly what we are thinking or don't read the comments in the way they are meant. I know I occasionally write something with the best of intentions but someone reads it and takes it totally the wrong way.
Me and Dawn had a bit of a fall out, its all in the past let it end now, and i hope Dawn feels the same way as me and comes back on the forum, please god the little cat has found a forever loving home, thats what counts
Wise words Ron, hopefully Dawn you will feel as Ron does and put it all behind you and move onwards and upwards.
-
You don't know me, Dawn, so I apologise for butting in, but I read this thread and felt so sad at the outcome and just wanted to wish you luck and say I hope some time in the future you will come back to the forum.
