Gentle Girl Cats Eddi & Hatti

May 18, 2012 – 6:04 pm | 6 views

18/05/12: Time to meet Eddi and Hatti (9 months) who came to me from Murcia! This is way out of my normal area for re-homing but I could not ignore their plight or that of their mother Marli. All 3 were abandoned by their English family, and their neighbour who had taken them in had tried for months to find a local rescue to help …

Bono On His Way!



Submitted by on March 17, 2009 – 2:16 pm4 Comments | 89 views


Bono With His New Mum

Today Bono has set off for Switzerland with his new Mum, Sabine, and her partner, Thomas. We are sad to see him go, and Pam, John, and Rufus dog will all miss him (not so sure about Pam¡s cats!). We are however happy that we have found him the best possible home.

For anyone who hasn’t read about Bono before on this blog, he is our biggest save ever. We rescued him at the beginning of January, only to find that he was unable to open his mouth to eat! 6 weeks of syringe feeding followed before he could finally eat on his own. Now he manages slowly very soft mousse and mushy tuna and rice. We hope he will improve further as he grows, but Sabine accepts him and loves him as he is.

Please click on the tag cloud ‘Bono’ if you want to see all the videos, posts and pictures of this little chap’s progress.

I’m convinced that Sabine and Thomas will give Bono a brilliant home. They have just flown from Zurich to collect him, have an 11 month old female kitten, Desdemona, waiting to be his friend, and ,being both medical people, will do everything possible to help his little mouth improve further.

Enjoy the photos, and thanks to Pam and John for giving him such a loving home for the last 10 weeks, and for Mary’s help with all those smoothie feeds!

    Brilliant!!! Was good to meet them and see how besotted with Bono (will always be his name to me) they are already. He is such a lovely cat that he deserves the best.

    Well done to you all!!!!

  • Pam Roberts says:

    I shed a few tears this morning when he finally left Almerimar for good.John and I fell in love with him and were so sad to see him on his way.I know that he has gone to a good home in Switzerland but our flat seems so quiet and empty without him already.Capone was waving a flag as he went because he just didnt understand that Bono only wanted to play
    now its back to the quiet life for the three of them and Rufus my dog gets to sleep in his bed on his own!! Bye bye Bono and safe journey.

  • Mary says:

    Bono is one sweet kitten and will settle in well in his new home I am sure. Pam however is not going to know what to do with herself so we maybe need to find her a new buddy???? (Or book her a ticket to Zurich)

  • Sands says:

    New foster kids always available. I’ve already suggested Monster Mog. Only kidding on that one …. Capone would definitely not like him!

  • [...] Feed a cold starve a fever I think the saying goes? Well after spending the last 3 days full of a cough and a cold, and basically the last 24 hours stuck to the bed coughing like a 90 year old miner I finally managed to drag myself down to the marina this morning to have a farewell breakfast with Sabine and Tom who had come over from Switzerland to pick up one of the strays (Bono, now Jonathan) that Pam, Sands and Mary have basically rescued and saved. This is a great story that you can read over on Almerimar Life Strays. [...]
