Aww, she sounds like she is so happy, and it is great to say she has only been with you for 2 weeks. I am so incredibly pleased that she didn't have too many issues with being rehomed, and I bet she is still preferring paper to proper cat toys!!

Hello,

Glad you like the pics and the video.

She's settled in so well that she woke us up at 3.30 this morn crying outside the bedroom door coz the piece of paper she must have been playing with had rolled under our door and she couldn't get to it.

Very funny and sweet but blummin heck I'm tired today!!!

Hello everyone,

Just thought you may like to see a video of Tinky in action playing and one of her chasing the wrong kind of mouse (the one on the screen!)

Click the link below:

Everything was ok at the vets yesterday, nowhere near as scary as I thought !!! So she's now chipped and had the first one of the flu vaccinations.

Thanks for all the kind messages, it's lovely to meet you all,
Speak soon,
Becky

Hi Becky and

Great to hear how Tinky is settling into her new home, can't wait to hear more installments and see some pics

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #77 on:** January 17, 2007, 13:54:16 PM »

I am glad you have found us and registered Becky, can't wait to hear more about her settling in and seeing pics of her. Sounds like she is being her typical self wanting to play with bits of paper - gave me a good excuse not to put rubbish in the bin!! I am glad that she is ok with Karl, seeing as she was a bit wary on the initial visit. Pics are really easy - either resize or use something like photobucket.

becky · « **Reply #76 on:** January 17, 2007, 13:47:28 PM »

Ooh and I forgot to say, we are going to the vets this afternoon to have her micro-chipped and the first of the flu jabs.

I'm not looking forwards to it as I'm sure it'll distress her and I hate seeing her upset but I'm sure the vet is very nice and she'll be ok.

I'll let you know how we get on!!!

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #75 on:** January 17, 2007, 13:45:21 PM »

That's great news and it's good to hear from you!

becky · « **Reply #74 on:** January 17, 2007, 13:41:11 PM »

Hello,

This is Becky, I am shadow's new mummy. We have re-named her Tinky as she is just so tiny and cute!!!

As I type this she is sat on the floor by the side of me playing with a rolled up receipt I was going to throw away but she was very inquisitive about it, so I gave it to her earlier. It seems to be providing heap of fun!!!

She has settled in fine, she hid the first couple of days (she foudn all the possible hiding spots in our house!!! she even hid in the fire which resulted in the fire having to be removed, a job we were intending to do but just not so soon, but it was very funny!!!) but now she is a wonderful confident kitty and we love her very much.

She has taken to her new Daddy (Karl) too and doesnt seem to mind the fact that he is a bloke, even though we do gang up on him occassionally as it is now officially a house of girls!!!

We have some good pictures of her but I dont know how to stick them on here so when we get chance Karl the computer whizz will post them so everyone can see how she's doing. We also have a really good video of her playing with her scratching post, but again, I dont know if you can put videos on, but if we can we will.

Take care and we'll keep you updated on the adventures of Tinky,
Love,
Becky, Karl and Tinky x

Excellent news Desley, what a wonderful change in her. Well Done

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #71 on:** January 07, 2007, 00:42:22 AM »

Thats a big change

be happy in your new home Shadow

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #70 on:** January 06, 2007, 14:13:09 PM »

WEll, she has gone to her new home, so I thought I would post the pic of when I first met her in the cattery, as a scared 15week old, and the ones taken this morning, at 6 months old and a confident(ish), friendly, affectionate kitten.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #69 on:** January 05, 2007, 17:52:32 PM »

Well, she is going tomorrow - her stitches have been taken out today, so the rescue have agreed for her to go tomorrow, it is only 2 days earlier, and we dont have to worry about trees or parties now. Am just about to start a new thread though.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #68 on:** January 05, 2007, 11:43:56 AM »

She is adorable, but I know they are never here to stay, only a temporary home till that forever home can be found. I am pleased that she has finally got that home of her own, and am excited for her - she keeps being told how many days till she gets to go to a home of her own!! I have the next foster lined up too!!

WEll, I do have to give the addy to her new parents, so they can keep us updated!!

Claire M · « **Reply #67 on:** January 04, 2007, 21:20:11 PM »

Desley was just about to email you when I found this thread!! Wonderful news about Shadow, she looks adorable in the pics, how can you not be sad to part with her?

You have worked a miracle with her, you should be very proud, and she will have a home of her own, I'm so happy for her I'm in tears!!

Good luck to you little Shadow, you will be missed! x Claire and Felix x

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #66 on:** January 03, 2007, 13:22:06 PM »

:-)

I suppose I have, and she is ready for her new home now, she has proved that with the new people she has met this week, although wary, she has tolerated everyone.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #65 on:** January 03, 2007, 13:10:00 PM »

My mind set doesnt work like that at all

You have done a great job with her and I remember all those early posts when you first had her but now she sounds wonderful

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #64 on:** January 03, 2007, 10:49:56 AM »

I couldn't understand what the vet was talking about at all!!

It wont be sad at all, she deserves to finally have a proper home of her own, she is 6 months old now, and has been with us since 9 weeks old. I am really pleased for her, and am already planning the next foster!! You just have to have the right mindset for fostering, and realise that they dont come to you to stay, you are their 'aunty' until that wonderful forever home can be found.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #63 on:** January 02, 2007, 19:28:45 PM »

Yes Des why not surprised it was one of yours indeed

Oh it will sad to see Shadow go.........I couldnt be a foster cos I get attached to them when I never met em

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #62 on:** January 02, 2007, 18:18:18 PM »

She seemed to have a hard bump where her stitches were, so we have just been up to the vet, and the muscle is swollen - vet says it is only the second one she has dealt with in the last 2.5 years - and isn't surprised it is one of mine, dont know why!!! She has had 2 jabs, and we are back on Fri, and the vet might take the stitches out then, in which case she may be able to go to her new home on Mon.
She has met another new person, and while she initially hid, I did coax her out, and she did end up playing, although incredibly wary. So, it is looking promising for her new home next week.

Well done Shadow for showing yourself off so well and well done to you Des for doing such a good job with her, sounds like she will have a lovely new home in the new year - just what she deserves

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #60 on:** December 30, 2006, 18:51:46 PM »

I knew they would love her, how could anyone not!! I dont think it will be long at all - she might take a bit longer to get used to the bloke though. I am proud that she has come round so well and is finally going to get the wonderful home she deserves, she has been with us since being 9 weeks old, bless her.

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #59 on:** December 30, 2006, 18:46:32 PM »

Awww, so glad her new owners just LOVE her and it seems it won't be too long before its mutual

. Des, you've done a fantastic job socialising Shadow - you must be real proud

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #58 on:** December 30, 2006, 17:56:21 PM »

WEll, she has met her new owners and did really really well - she let them fuss her while I held her, and then just laid on the chair rather than hiding, and allowed more fusses, she ate a treat off her new mum's hand and even played mousey with her. they are hopefully coming to see her again before they pick her up on the 9th January!! Some more pics of her - incidentally, I didn't give her the piece of cauliflower, the little minx pinched it off my plate!!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #57 on:** December 29, 2006, 23:08:18 PM »

I am sure they will, I showed them an up to date pic when i was there, and have warned them that they might just get to see her eyeing them up. I have asked if they will come on here and keep us all updated, and they have said they will, I just need to let them know the addy. I know how much you lot like to hear about her.

Ann Clarke (Tabby cat) · « **Reply #56 on:** December 29, 2006, 22:59:18 PM »

Oh that's great news I do hope they like her - fingers crossed all goes well

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #55 on:** December 29, 2006, 22:50:59 PM »

Well, the people were lovely, and she will really really enjoy the garden. They are coming to see her tomorrow (very keen!!), and if they still like her, they will be picking her up on the 9th Jan, which is the day after her stitches come out. I am really pleased that this little girl might finally have a home of her own, she really does deserve it, and she has certainly waited long enough for it. The vet said that if I had left her another week, she would have been in season, despite still being small for her age and only just 6 months!!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #54 on:** December 28, 2006, 19:41:42 PM »

Thanks folks - me too!! Apart from the incredibly large shaved patch, you wouldn't tell she had been spayed today, I tried to put her in the bathroom so she wouldnt jump too much, and she keeps going in the bath!! Will post a new pic later.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #53 on:** December 28, 2006, 16:42:14 PM »

This is another thread I'd managed to miss

but what a good time to discover it

! Hope the prospective new home works out, Desley - you've done wonders with Shadow. She is so pretty.

clarenmax · « **Reply #52 on:** December 28, 2006, 16:02:41 PM »

That's fantastic news, I'll be keeping everything crossed that they will be right for her, would be such a lovely start to the New Year for her to find her forever home. Hope she's not too narky after the vets today!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #51 on:** December 28, 2006, 15:01:56 PM »

Well, she is fine and I am picking her up in a couple of hours. Just before I had chance to ring and find out about her though, I had a phone call from someone wanting to adopt her!!! I am hoping to go and see them tomorrow, but they sound ideal for her, and sound willing to give her the time and space for her to get to know them. So, fingers crossed, she will have a new home when her stitches come out.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #50 on:** December 28, 2006, 12:55:32 PM »

i did wonder Jayne!!
She should be being done at the moment Clare, will be ringing in an hour to find out how she is.

clarenmax · « **Reply #49 on:** December 28, 2006, 09:29:51 AM »

How's our favourite little girl doing?

Good luck tomorrow

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #46 on:** December 27, 2006, 22:51:23 PM »

She is - she has become a bit of a lap cat this past couple of days. She is going in to be spayed tomorrow, I do hope it doesnt set her back any. And then hopefully she will find a home when we start homing again in Jan, as she is only 6mo. I feel sorry for her that she has been in a rescue situation so long really.
