Boston and Ky have finally been offered a home.....I first got an email about them in May last year! If anyone can help with this transport run I'd be really grateful. As would a very lovely Purrs member......I'll let her tell you all. ;)

Its not me either - but am in surrey and therefore can help with transport. So if you can get someone to do from Nottingham to somewhere convenient on the motorway I can take them down and onto surrey.  :hug: :hug:

You'll be pleased to hear these two have a cat carrier each! That's one less thing to worry about. ;)

Well done everyone  ;D

Can't wait to see pics myself. I remember these pusscats being posted on CC way back. So pleased to hear they have finally got their happy ending  :Luv2:
Title: Re: Transport needed from Nottingham to Surrey
Post by: Wibblechick on January 08, 2011, 15:27:25 PM
So far, all we've seen of them was briefly when they emerged from the cat carriers, had a sniff round and then they went off together under our sofa.  I must admit having a peep and spotting a  huge black fellow with a cobweb on his ear (so much for my houseleeping skills) and a   worried looking little white face alongside him.

Hes HUGE !  Even bigger than Mr T was And HEAVY (guess who got to carry him in his carrier, up the stairs to the flat !)

Shes much lighter, obviously.  And has a faint sort of tabby "M" - albeit in white - on her head that adds to her rather anxious expression

For the time being - we  are just going about our "normal" activities for a Saturday afternoon and hoping that soon, both will emerge and investigate us a bit futher.


I promise as soon as they are confident, whenever that may be, we will post some pictures :)

LOL @ the cobweb  :evillaugh:

You need to change your Slave to info Chris  ;)

Hope they come out for cuddles soon  :Luv:

One black and one white cat are going to test your housekeeping skills to the limit.  Its one way of ensuring that whatever you wear and whatever furnishing you have the cat hairs will show.  :evillaugh:

As you all know - the two lovely cats have safely arrived at Wibblechick's  ;D ;D

The boy was a lovely big black cat with gorgeous eyes and the girl was a little white cat with the sweetest face - Can see why Wibblechick was smitten by them. They were both very good on the journey :Luv2: :Luv2:

Nice to have met you Snarf and wish you could stay longer to chat but have to rush off because you are thinking of the cats.

No doubt these two cats have landed on their paws in a VERY loving home :hug:
