Ok once again an update is long overdue, my only excuse being that I have been spending so much time getting cats and kittens to the vet and ready to go to Germany that this blog has had to take second place. However I do have lots of photos to post over the next few days and I will be starting with those of our latest rescues.

I now have news that Ginger Jasper has a home and it appears that he has settled in very fast and made friends with his new housemate! I have just received this email from Kerstin which describes his arrival with his adoptant Karin.

News from Germany over the past week is great:

MOST important is that big Tommy is getting on fine with his housemate Socks, so we are now very hopeful that his ‘trial’/foster home will turn into a permanent one. This is very important as Tommy, being FIV positive, can only really live with other FIV positive cats to rule out ANY risk. FIV (similar to the human HIV) is not contagious, but could be transferred if Tommy bit another cat. Of course knowing Tommy, this is incredibly unlikely, but there is always the risk that another cat may bite him prompting a response. Anyway, all is looking good for the future for Tommy right now.

Just back from persuading Big Beau NOT to jump from Nicola’s 4th floor balcony in a bid for freedom! He is the beautiful tomcat, that we rescued this morning, and our last visitor to the Calle Alcor cat buffet, which is now closed! Beau is a huge cat but a definite big softie, who likes being stroked. He is not aggressive at all but seemed very nervous of Nicola and all the kittens. More and more, I am convinced that he is an abandoned cat, who has had a tough time on the streets.

Ginger Jasper has been at Pam’s now for about 2 month, and has settled extremely well into apartment life, since we rescued him from Darsena 2.

Time for another update on our now 18 foster cats, although that may actually be 15 as it appears that 3 of them may be staying in Almerimar!

Thought it was time for a quick update on all our foster cats … we currently have 18! This includes a beautiful new 6-week old kitten that Jean and George have taken in, and that I have yet to meet.

Time for a quick summary update, as I haven’t been phloging so much this week. I’ve been having a psuedo holiday, actually at home as we live in a Spanish holiday town!

Jasper is our latest big cat rescue. Pam has been feeding him alongside Keba in Darsena 2 for several months. Although he was very nervous at the beginning, we now believe he was an abandoned cat.

The last few days have been interesting to say the least! If you have been listening to my phlogs then you will be up to date on most of the news, but in summary, we have rescued 3 more kittens and one cat in 4 days.
