An update is long overdue. I have been away in the UK for 2 weeks, with at times patchy internet access, and this week my priority has been getting the cats sorted over updating my blog. However I hope to be back on track soon, as I have lots of great photos to post and updates from the last transport of cats to Germany.

Check out these happy cats.

Further to my last post, more pictures have come through today, showing me homes and friends that are waiting for our cats travelling to Germany this week.

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.

It was a huge relief to hear that these 2 had arrived safely in their new home. I still can’t quite believe that we have achieved this. Or course they are tired and stressed and will take time to adjust, but their new owner sounds a lovely understanding lady. Kerstin has translated this email from her. We await more news and photos!

“News from Monty and Mimi… I translate…

I have posted a lot recently about our ’special ones’, Monty and Mimi. These 2 really do need to be able to live together, and spend as much time as they like outside, as they have lived wild all of their lives. You can see from the photos in this post that Martina and Kerstin have found them the perfect home in Germany. I looks amazing!

Monty and Mimi are doing SO well it is hard to believe. Well done to Nicola and Erika for being such brilliant foster parents. Yesterday evening they were both at my vet’s, Mimi just for a chip and Monty for his blood test, vaccinations, and chip. All went well, but as Begona was more comfortable with Monty tranquilised, he was understandably a little woosy last night. Nicola reports that it was therefore Mimi’s turn to be protective of her best buddy. She stayed very close and was cross if Nicola tried to touch him.

Wow we have had a very stressful weekend. BAD decision of mine to put Monty in a different place to Mimi. I knew that Mimi needed to be in a cage to start off with, but as Monty is more tame, I didn’t want to put him through that, SO we decided that Pam could have him in her computer room. What I didn’t take into account enough was that he is NOT an abandoned tame cat; he is a semi-feral and he was quite distressed at being inside. I also didn’t take into account quite how in love he is with little Mimi.
