Great news from Germany yesterday; Little Cookie already has a ‘forever home’! This is a very sweet term that I picked up from my Twitter ‘anipals’, and means a loving, happy home for life!

Great news this afternoon, that both Cookie and Mina have arrived safely in Germany, and are now in their foster homes there. It is always good to hear as the transport takes close to 24 hours, so is a very long trip for the poor little buddies. Now we just have Tommy in a foster home here in Almerimar and Caesar in the cat rescue home with Gisela, but as always I have plans to help more cats!

Just back from feeding the Alcor Cats again and I was very pleased to see Caesar or Monster Mog as he was origianally named for his aggressive ways. Pleased because we intend to ‘rescue’ him from his life on the street tomorrow. It definitely doesn’t suit him as he looks dirty and bedraggled a sure sign of an unhappy cat who is not cleaning himself.

OK this week is now organised. Pam and I did try and catch another pregnant female this morning but she was unusually skittish so we are resigned to the fact that more kittens are coming. We are hoping she will have them on one of the boats and we may be able to find them earlier enough to (I’m sorry) destroy them. This HAS to be the best option for tiny kittens, although I know i will still find it hard.

GREAT news! Having counted all the small change, I can now confirm that Pam’s Almerimar Strays (mainly) book sale raise 235€ on Saturday, which is fantastic, particularly as we have effectively already spent the money helping Korky and Phoebe. SO thank you to everyone who supported it, and i hope you will all come to the next one if you can, at the end of this month, when there will be more books and other goodies for sale, all for a very good cause.

This is Cookie (after ginger cookies … thanks Tracy!), our latest rescue. He is a lovely tame little fellow about 6-7 months old, and we think recently abandoned or lost.
