Blimey, you guys must be cream crackered! Good luck, I REALLY hope you get the little one in safely today.

Everyone in Pinkbear towers is rooting for this baby.

I can't understand why the people clearly the site haven't thought about the P.R. potential here. Imagine Dawn and Teresa doing a piece to camera about the desparate fight to save this small life, and how the company had gone out of it's way to help them? Gold dust!

I still recall a tale from 20 years ago, when a road building company stopped work for two weeks after a small boy pointed out the fact they where about to pull up a bush in which a thrush was nesting. The delay cost them £10k, but the photo in the press of the CEO standing next to the bush with the lad was worth 10 times that!

Would it help to take his mum to call him? Or doesnt it work like that?

PS Dont shout at me if that is a stupid question.

So sad but great for trying

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #30 on:** August 03, 2007, 01:14:48 AM »

Just got back in now and sadly we've not seen him

We've managed to get back on site though and the security guards let us on to set the traps and we hung around til getting on 12 o'clock but nothing. Clare and I are going back tomorrow evening, hopefully I'll feel a little more refreshed by then

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #29 on:** August 02, 2007, 20:48:41 PM »

Good luck for getting the last one.
These companies should be made to make prior arrangements for cats living onsite.

Only a quickie as I've just this minute got back in and I've got to go with T and Claire to go back to Manchester

We're absolutely exhausted and have had a few tears all round today.........this thread has set me off again now

We caught another kitty but not the one we had seen which means there is another ginger/white on site now life and death

It is so bloody frustrating, all containers have now been moved and this poor baby is without his mum and 2 siblings, it's heartbreaking

We had a few problems with a jealous little cow on site but that will have to wait. Please keep everything crossed we catch this little one tonight.........if we don't, we don't know what will become of him, I don't believe in God but we've all prayed a few times today, hopefully he'll be looking down on us and keep this little one safe until we can get him. We have a major problem though, we are now banned off site so we have to rely on the goodwill of the security guards, maybe a bit of dosh to keep them sweet, we just don't know. I have just tried explaining to hubby what's happened all night, and I'm not sure if it's cos I'm tired but I can't stop crying, I'm going to have a coffee and freshen up and try and get myself geed up abit for tonight.

Poor little one.

Teresa, Dawn and Rob - you're absolute heros.

ClaireR · « **Reply #13 on:** August 02, 2007, 13:45:35 PM »

Spoke to T about an hour ago and she was still at the building site with Dawn and Rob.

The kitten has gone under one of the large containers on site and they will be moving and bulldozing the area this afternoon so this really is critical now. Kitten is very frightened and hidden well under the container. The site is very noisy and they are only allowing limited access in to check the trap. T was hoping that the lunchtime down tools would give a bit of peace. If they move the containers with the little one underneath it is very likely that he will be killed.

Praying that they are successful and the little one braves the noisy world and gets into that trap. He must be very hungry and scared.

Good luck getting that elusive last kitty and well done on getting mum and the other little one. If only they knew the "good guys" from the "bad guys!"

I always seem to be so far from the action. I'd have been with you, girls!

That's how I normally feel, even though this time Manchester is only an hour away via train.

Course I have that pesky thing called work so I can't go off and help kitties unless they are in Leeds and even then it's only if I can escape.

Pinkbear (Julie) · « **Reply #9 on:** August 02, 2007, 09:26:08 AM »

I think you's two are the nicest bunch of peeps I've never met!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #7 on:** August 02, 2007, 09:19:48 AM »

Sorry but I really couldn`t help myself. After spending all night on a building site with Diddydawn I was left with no option but to DUMP her there just after 7am today.

In the interest of health and sanity I have given her 3 ciggies to survive on.

The Paws Inn litter trays and feeding arrangements took priority.

Sadly this is true as the feral trapping really is a life/death situation,we have mum and one baby in my car but a second baby must be caught so Dawn is guarding traps and I think we will be heading off to rescue her in a minute. Thats if I dont fall asleep

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #6 on:** August 01, 2007, 21:11:21 PM »

I don't mind going over but I've not got my cage transfer with me........I've left it at the farm until tomorrow. How old are the kittens and can she meet me somewhere? I have got my trap though......

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #5 on:** August 01, 2007, 21:10:02 PM »

Contact is member of public she has tried all Rescues near Manchester,including nationals and no one answering phones so run me in desperation, I dont know Manchester at all, her poor friend spent an hour trying to coax them, I can contact lady if I find def offer of help.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #4 on:** August 01, 2007, 21:07:14 PM »

Is there anyone else that can help.......ie the person who contacted you?
