How did it go Gillian?

Really well thanks

they travelled well in the car (except when I hit the brakes when stoopid bus pulled out in front of me

but they settled back down again, its about a 20 min drive.

Got to the house, took them straight into living room, they hopped straight out of the carrier and started exploring - not scared AT ALL lol! Made it much easier for me to leave them and I didnt get upset at all.

Kittens have got the green light to go - so will be off to their new home tomorrow.

I'm taking them over there, and I shan't cry when I leave.......

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #43 on:** October 05, 2011, 18:03:31 PM »

Don't have any choice with the foster cats unfortunately, this is the vet practice the Trust uses.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #42 on:** October 05, 2011, 17:36:24 PM »

Sounds like you need a new vet!

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #41 on:** October 05, 2011, 17:22:34 PM »

The lump at Dixie's op site is just fatty tissue vet reckons - it was same vet that operated on him (twice

). I was a bit annoyed as both kittens have pulled out their flank stitches, and vet said oh and what happened to their elizabethen collars then? well they pulled them off within 5 minutes and no way would they keep them on, what am I supposed to do?!! He also said, the fatty tissue swelling is because Dixie is active - so I need to try and keep them both quiet and still - WHAT?! they are 5 1/2 month old kittens for gods sake

So I was a bit cross, as vet made me feel like naughty child for not keeping their collars on and letting them run around like mad things

- has he forgotten the mistake about Dixie's op which resulted in him being opened up TWICE?, hmmmm

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #40 on:** October 04, 2011, 21:50:46 PM »

Hope it's something that can be easily sorted

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #39 on:** October 04, 2011, 21:11:04 PM »

I do hope he is OK

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #38 on:** October 04, 2011, 20:48:41 PM »

Dixie's got to go back to the vets tomorrow, he's got a bulge/lump where his midline op was done

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #37 on:** September 30, 2011, 00:47:11 AM »

Poor Dixie and hope both heal quick

Poor Dixie! Glad they got there in the end though Did they actually open him up at the side too Gillian?

Yep, they sure did, so he has 2 wounds

one on flank and one on tummy/groin area - 2 lots of stiches for him to pull out

Actually so far they've both been good and are just licking around the areas rather than pulling at stiches, just as well coz there's no way they'll keep those collars on!

New owners are going to be very surpised

its annoying too, because of Dixie's bigger op, his stiches can't come out for 10 days, but they are both due to go to new home on the 8th Oct, so might have to delay them picking him up - Georgie's stiches can come out in 7 days which will be next Wed - so I'm going to see if Dixie's could come out then too, can't see how much difference a few more days make?

poor Dixie that is awful

Both kittens neutered today - simple...you would think......

but no! Vet checking them in this morning, said 'oh dear' - turns out little boy Dixie (who I initially thought was a girl anyway

) didnt have his bits on the outside - so a bigger op was needed of course, to find 'em . Got back home, got a phone call from vet to say both kittens been done but..........huge apologies from them, the nurse who presented Dixie for neutering put him down as a girl - so they went in at the flank. So mistake realised, they then had to go in mid line as well to find his testicles.

Poor little Dixie therefore has an enormous shaved flank and all his tummy shaved, he is going to get a complex, all this confusion about his gender

Good thing is though, vets have waived the cost of Dixie's op by way of apology

They both came home with collars on - well they removed those in 5 minutes flat

Dawn F · « **Reply #30 on:** September 21, 2011, 14:57:06 PM »

sorry things are so tough at the moment

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #29 on:** September 20, 2011, 12:09:21 PM »

Yes, I shall look forward to having my dining room back! Getting the kittens neutered either this week or next, prob next, as its the funeral of my friend this week and I don't know whether I'm coming or going at the moment. So, if I get them both neutered next week, they've got another week with me to recover fully and be ready to go to their new home the following weekend.

Great news

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #26 on:** September 16, 2011, 19:50:25 PM »

Woo! Great news

You won't know what to do with yourself with all the space once they've gone to their new home

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #25 on:** September 16, 2011, 19:31:19 PM »

Dixie and Georgie Girl have got a new home, yippee!!

Mind you, their new owners can't have them till 8th Oct, as they are going on holiday - so I've got them for another 3 weeks, won't be getting my dining room back just yet then!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #24 on:** August 27, 2011, 00:09:01 AM »

Oh dear!

Definately a boys name

Oh good, coz I've just put them on our website with those names. I flea treated them as they were scratching like mad, seems like they were riddled with 'em

Now my cats are scratching - great

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #22 on:** August 25, 2011, 15:30:41 PM »

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2011, 15:19:18 PM »

Both blood tested, and negative

- oh, and Dixie is a boy, oops, should have gone to specsavers? lol!

Still, I guess Dixie is ok for boy's name as well, do ya think? or any other suggestions......

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #20 on:** August 24, 2011, 21:41:24 PM »

The girls are being blood tested and checked over tomorrow. Dixie has got one hec of a kink in her tail, possible break at some point maybe?

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #19 on:** August 22, 2011, 21:49:14 PM »

Yes, juggling and shuffling, bit ridiculous really, I have too many again

I don't know about them being snapped up Susanne - the Trust has over 60 cats and kittens in at the moment, there are 4 kittens at one fosterer and 4 or 5 at another - all younger than my two and even they havent been snapped up. Rehoming is awful quiet at the moment. I think I will try and rehome them together.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #18 on:** August 22, 2011, 20:22:52 PM »

They are lovely

I think they will be snapped up pretty quickly. At least I hope so. Will they be rehomed together or separately?

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #17 on:** August 22, 2011, 19:13:35 PM »

Sounds like lots of juggling going on there Gillian

Fingers crossed that homes are just around the corner

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #16 on:** August 22, 2011, 19:02:03 PM »

Oh yes, forgot to say they've stopped all the silly grumbling and hissing etc now. That was the other reason I moved them, they were upsetting Milly and Molly and Sooty out in the pens, and the kittens were reacting to their hisses and growls. They are indeed very relaxed, purry and sweet girlies now

however come 10pm that may not be the case

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2011, 19:01:13 PM »

Georgiegirl is so different from side and front, thought it was a diffent cat, from front she looks a bit like Elsa?

Dixie is fab

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2011, 18:42:55 PM »

They look pretty relaxed Gillian, are you sure you're nit just making it up about the hissing so you can keep them

Schmew · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2011, 18:40:20 PM »

Ooh yummy yummy yummy

Hope the hissing stops soon!

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2011, 18:34:43 PM »

Some more pics of Georgie Girl (shamelessly named in tribute to my gorgeous George tabby (RIP)

) and Dixie Lee

They are now in here (my work/computer room) as it was a nightmare trying to keep them in the safety gate area of the outside pen. Trouble is, once 10pm comes, they are going to have to move to the bathroom because Chico comes in here then!

I think I am seeing double here - Georgie Girl is the absolute spitting image of my foster cat Willow and Dixie Lee is same markings (even down to the little white flash along her mouth) as foster cat Millie!

JackSpratt · « **Reply #11 on:** August 22, 2011, 10:39:21 AM »

What gorgeous little guys!

Glad they're with you, Gillian.

just at the not so cute kitten stage where the novelty has worn off, poor little things
