Today I’m REALLY pleased to be able to say that ALL of our cats from Almerimar that we had taken to the cat rescue home over the past few months, are now already there or are at this moment on their way to new lives in Germany.

As you know Smokey Boy is off to Germany next week which is great news, but it will also be a shame to see him go for Pam who has done such an excellent job with him:

07/12/2008: Today I have updated this post.

It appears as if Smokey IS fully recovered from his illness, and is becoming rather cheeky in his new foster home. Pam returned yesterday from a 2 day trip to Gibralter and let Smokey out of the study for a while as he was becoming a little stir-crazy, whereupon he settled happily into one of her cats’s baskets by the fire, naturally inducing some snarling and hissing from the other residents. Smokey appeared completely unconcerned and didn’t even bother to retaliate.

Smokey Boy is a beautiful, gentle cat that was rescued from the port in May by Jean and George. Then he was struggling to walk because he had 4 injured paws. Now he is struggling to walk because he has lost all feeling in one of his paws just above his ankle bone. I am hoping that this time, like the last, he can beat the odds and recover. He is also very weak from a recent bad infection, losing his fur, extremely thin, and altogether in a very bad way. It seems for this quiet, sweet creature the cat rescue home has not worked out at all.
