;D Laura found her!! And the home that took Freddie is happy to give a home to this little girl too....so, transport needed from Wales (fairly sure it's Pembrokeshire) to Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Gill, Laura was always dubious about the message she received - so she kept a lookout. So far, no joy locating the other two but she's ecstatic she managed to at least find this girl.

Thanks for the offers of help. :) :hug:

Original Run for Freddie:

From Laura to Sue
From Sue to Gill
From Gill to Cazzer
Here's a bit tricky - I THINK it's from Cazzer to a Facebook volunteer Sharon
From Sharon to another Facebook volunteer Rachel
To Jo!

Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: JackSpratt on March 25, 2011, 10:24:23 AM
Progress! Can people do this Sunday?

Sue: Pembroke to Carmarthen
Jane: Carmathen to Swansea
Lisa: Swansea to Bristol
Cazzer: Bristol to Birmingham
Charlene: Birmingham to Leicester
Moira: Leicester to Chesterfield

Jane and Lisa aren't Purrs members, but I can get their numbers very easily if everyone can do this.  :crossed:

No JS, i did B-ham to Chesterfield with Freddie (and i'm not Charlene on FB,lol!)

If i'm needed, i can do Sunday, unless Charlene is a definate!
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: cazzer on March 25, 2011, 11:20:33 AM
Sorry no as I said in my original post I can only do weekend of 16th April or Easter weekend due to other commitments.
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: JackSpratt on March 25, 2011, 11:33:28 AM
Shirley, you aren't indeed. (Two of you offered but Charlene wasn't sure! Sorry.  :shy:)
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: JackSpratt on March 25, 2011, 11:33:46 AM
And Cazzer, forgot that! Have updated.
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: moira on March 25, 2011, 14:43:08 PM
Just to confirm, I can do this Sunday. I have pm'd my contact details.
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: Shirley on March 25, 2011, 15:25:42 PM
JS, i'm confused! On here Charlene is doing B-ham to Leics but on CC, it's me!   :stupid:
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: JackSpratt on March 25, 2011, 15:36:38 PM
Don't be confused! Charlene was the first to offer but only a maybe....we're counting on you for that bit. ;)

A bit more info has come to light and it's made things a bit more urgent so if you can all crosspost on Facebook and see if anyone on your friends lists can do the Bristol to Brum bit it would be massively appreciated.
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: Shirley on March 25, 2011, 15:58:52 PM
Have already done, after seeing Sue's!

No probs doing my bit-will need Moira's number and whoever does the bit before me then-and post codes of course!  ;)
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: JackSpratt on March 25, 2011, 16:07:37 PM
Cazzer can't do this Sunday so we've got to sort that bit first...
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: Shirley on March 25, 2011, 16:16:47 PM
Yeah i know....just in case there's a last minute offer!

JS ~ I need Jane's number in case we have a last minute offer for Bristol to Brum  :)
I think I still have Laura's number in my phone from Freddie's run.
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: Jo2705 on March 26, 2011, 12:16:22 PM
I've just had a friend say they're in Bracknell tomorrow so if we could get her there then they'd be able to bring her all the way back to Chesterfield.....not sure if that helps or not!
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: JackSpratt on March 26, 2011, 16:40:15 PM
OK - Bristol to Brum can be covered; but on Monday....can everyone else do Monday instead?
Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: moira on March 26, 2011, 16:57:31 PM

Title: Re: Transport needed from Wales to Chesterfield
Post by: JackSpratt on March 27, 2011, 12:01:36 PM
OK, we're aiming for Monday but yet again one part of the run is missing....so Swansea to Bristol needs covering if possible and then Shanti can be moved to safety tomorrow. :hug:

Lauras friend: Carmarthen to Bristol
Lauras friend: Bristol to Birmingham
Shirley: Birmingham to Leicester
Moira: Leicester to Chesterfield

Amended transport run - hopefully - fingers crossed. Sue, thanks for offering to help but hopefully someone's going all the way to Bristol. ;)

What an adorable little girl  :Luv2:
Sooo small and a little whiffy but oh so affectionate  :Luv2: We had some lovely cuddles while we waited for Gill  :)
Jo you're a very lucky lady to be getting such a sweet little girl and I'm sure she'll thrive with you  :)

ETA:  Murphy hasn't left me alone since I got home. He's very interested in the smell of Shanti on his Mum's clothes  :rofl:

Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on March 28, 2011, 18:18:41 PM
Well no one told Jenni that she needed a carrier and this caused real problems and hope that all the others knew cos I needed to bring my carrier back home.

As Sue said she is very gorgeous Jo and think she will go lovely with Freddie, sorry cant remember his new name.

She let off a couple of stink bombs and we stopped once before even reaching M4, cos thought she wanted to
use litter tray......she didnt and think she just wanted cuddles and out of the carrier.

I hope all the transfers went well, I am totally exhausted and need Jo to pm me please.

Aww Gill very stressful for you   :hug: and can totally understand the exhaustion...I'm in my jamas and ready for bed now  :tired: :tired: :tired:
I think I'd have had kittens transferring to someone without a carrier  :shocked: but thankfully it all worked out ok  :)

Freddie is his new name...I'm not sure we ever knew his old name...and I bet he and Shanti will be all loved up very soon  :evillaugh:

She said she was going to message you. Can only assume Shanti arrived a short time after our brief conversation earlier.

She did remember Freddie. When I let her out of the carrier at Jo's Freddie came into the room and she ran over and they sniffed noses. I know she is going to have a great time with Jo. Shanti is such a cutie and was very well behaved on the journey (although she did christen my fireplace whe I let her out for a run in my front room :) So glad she is safe now.
