I last published photos of Jasper in green fields in July. Now this beautiful boy is enjoying the snow at his country home! “Greetings from Jasper ( brother of felix ) !! he loves snow as u can see ! ))) what a perfect winter he has …;o))))

Great photos from Germany of lovely Jasper in his new home. He was one of the 5 abandoned kittens that we rescued from the rocks just after Xmas, and travelled to Germany in March. I had a really soft spot for this little man as he was SO sweet natured.

UPDATE 24/03/09
More great news from Germany:
“Greetings from jasper too….there was a visit after one week in his new home….he is the boss !!! all the people do, what jasper wants..and he is so happy ;o) in july he will be neutered and then he can go out…sheeps, cows, only green, no streets in front of his house….;o)”

“Tabitha is well too and very in love with guapa (cat) who lives at her new home )”

22/03/09: It is now just over a week since 5 of out cats arrived at their new homes in Germany, and almost a week since little Bono travelled to Switzerland. So far, bar the odd sniffle and runny eye, everything seems to be working out fine for all of our little buddies, and the emails from Germany make great reading and put any concerns for these lovely animals’ futures to rest. (If you haven’t already read the many posts on these cats and kittens, please click on the individual names in the Tag Cloud.)

The first real news was last Sunday 15th from Martina, who had picked up Bonny, Felix and Tabitha from the transport:

This morning I took Jasper to meet Roya, his flight partner to Munich. Both Jenny and I were very sorry to see him go.

Time for another update, mainly on our current foster kids as it is getting close to the time when they will leave us, either for Germany or for new homes here in Almerimar.

Jasper is the most gentle and loving of our Almerimar 5 kittens. When I rescued him he had a broken leg poor little thing, so earlier photos show him in his plaster. Now Jenny tells me he is rushing around her basement, using his leg brilliantly.

Today I sent photos of our kittens to Cony in Germany to put up on their web-site, where people who are interested can look and get more details.

It has been over a week since my last “>kitten update, and today Bono and 3 of the Almerimar 5 were back at the vet’s.

Bono remains a problem. His mouth is definitely better but it is VERY slow progress. Begona has only seen a similar condition in dogs and keeps telling us to be patient as it can take up to 6 weeks, and we are only at 3.5 so far. As he is slowly putting on weight we know we are syringing enough food into him, and it also means we can slightly increase his cortisone dosage.

¨The Almerimar 5¨ is how I am referring to the litter I rescued last week. Bonny is the only little girl but she has 2 big healthy brothers (Bruno and Jack) and 2 slightly smaller but very sweet brothers (Felix and Jasper)

22/01/09: I’ve just spoken to Tracy and she has now let the latest Almerimar 5 have the run of her basement. Little Jasper has adjusted brilliantly and is rushing around happily on his caste, so I’m really pleased that we put it on to stop him limping. Felix the smallest is still sneezing, but he is eating well, and they are all still on antibiotics. All the others are doing really well. Looking out of the window as I write this, I am again SO pleased that I picked them all up when i did and got them out of this tough weather.

Meanwhile we are still struggling with little Bono and his locked mouth. The Cortisone did seem to bring some improvement initially, but I haven’t really seen a change in the last 2 days. I’m still hopeful and we will continue to take the advice of our vet Begona, who hasn’t let us down yet. He is a lovely little fellow and certainly deserves his chance.
