Gentle Girl Cats Eddi & Hatti

Sands — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:04:50 +0000

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 them, before she too returned to the Uk to live. I was able to take them just in time, and after 2 weeks in my emergency cat room, they are now settling in at Montse’s cat rescue in Almeria. I am happy they are safe and that we more street kittens have been avoided as both girls were pregnant! Montse’s however is not ideal as they are very quiet, gentle girls, and being surrounded by so many cats is quite frightening for them. Better news is that I have a foster home waiting in Germany for them, and hope to get them away 15.06 if we have enough animals to run this transport.

They will definitely find a home together as these sisters are very close. Eddi has slightly more black on her face and is the more confident. She cuddles right around her sister when Hatti is afraid, and whilst they were with me Hatti even called her back to protect her once. Both love to be stroked once they feel confident and purred and talked to me a lot. I fell for them completely and understand why Sam who rescued them was so desperate to help them.

Gentle, Cute Eddi & Hatti

Tila – A Beautiful Siam-mix Lady

Sands — Thu, 17 May 2012 06:30:10 +0000

17/05/12: Lovely new photos have now come from Germany of Tila is her foster home. She looks very relaxed. Things are quiet in Germany at the moment. I think everybody is thinking of summer and not adopting cats. Even so, I am expecting Tila to find a family soon. She is SO beautiful.
29/04/12: Tila didn’t spend long at Montse’s cat rescue. She came in with enough time to prepare her quickly to travel, and as we had a siam-mix foster place free, she was on Friday’s transport to Germany. I think she will not be in her foster home for long. She is very beautiful, and from the photos Kerstin took last night, it is easy for people to see that she is also a sweet, friendly girl. Siam-mix cats are always very easy to re-home, so we move them quickly to make room in the cat rescues for all the other beautiful cats.

Tigger – A VERY Cool Cat

Sands — Wed, 16 May 2012 08:30:36 +0000

16/05/12: Tigger’s story is a great example of a lovely and very patient adoptant in Germany. At first Tigger was completely lovely, but then he started to bite a little when he was stroked and Tanja’s son became a little afraid of him, so she thought about not keeping him, and Anke has been looking for a new home. Interested people did visit but as Tigger gently bit them too, they changed their mind! Some lovely cats do do this and Tigger’s first family did confirm that he liked to play fight with his Dad! Mori my cat is the same and mostly it is not really aggressive behaviour. Tigger’s future was still unsure however until this morning, when Anke sent me this message: “Tanja just wrote me that they have decided to keep Tigger. He is still biting sometimes but she and her little son cannot live with the thought to of giving him away. Tigger is biting, yes, but he also can be a really charming cat. Tanja says that Tigger seems to be very happy so she wants to keep him in his home.” I am very happy for all of them!

26/12/11: The latest news is that Tigger already has his forever home, and arrived there on Friday, just in time for Xmas. No photos yet, but this morning Anke sent me this message from his new Mum: All sounds fantastic! “Our joy is simply indescribable! Tigger has settled immediately, and he runs behind me ever since he arrived. Theo was the greatest too yesterday; he thought at first that this is the Neighbour’s cat Felix! Tigger has slept with me under the covers, he has been a great. For now he just sits in the chair and watches what is going on outside in the garden and wags for each bird, bleat bleat bleat, and the tail like a dog … well, because he must wait a few more days before he can go outside. Many greetings and Merry Christmas! Tanja (Overjoyed!)” A perfect home I think with a lovely new Mum, a nice cat friend and the garden that he needs!!! Good for Tigger … a very cool and very well brought up cat.

04/12/11: I only met Tigger on Wednesday evening when his parents brought him to vet Miguel’s, and on Friday morning he headed off to a foster home in Germany. Tigger ‘adopted’ Liz and Tony when he was only a few months old, and has spent the last 3 years being thoroughly spoilt in their home near to Sorbas. I was aware that Tigger needed re-homing earlier in the summer, but thought he had been sorted, until Liz sent out an urgent email a couple of weeks ago to say that they were leaving on 01.12. I am VERY happy to have been able to help as Tigger is a beautiful big soft, ‘English style’ Tabby, with a lovely personality to match. Below is what Liz wrote about him in one of her emails, and having met him, I believe we will find him his forever home very quickly. Susanne who met him off the transport said “Tigger – he is indescribable. A wonderful, curious, open-minded tomcat. He came out of the box and everything was fine. He immediately examined the flat. He even allowed us to stroke him. His future cat family are to be envied and will have a lot of fun – Tigger is great!!!!!”

The photos that Liz sent me show what a lovely, friendly, cuddle pud he is, but actually he is much more handsome with beautiful soft fur. I know that he will be fine and am pleased that I was able to find him a foster home in time, so that he didn’t have to get used to a cat rescue, and can continue to live in the style he was accustomed too. We will try to find him a home where he can be an inside outside cat again, but I have a feeling that a sunny balcony may be just fine. Tigger doesn’t really look like a big hunter explorer to me, more a home comforts type of cat!!! although Liz does describe him going out all night ‘on the tiles’. We will see.

A Big Cuddle Boy

Liz wrote about him:
“Tiggy is a lovely affectionate cat – at the moment he is trying to type and sit on my knee at the same time!!!!!
His routine is, in the morning, (if he has been out all night ‘on the tiles’) he cries at our upstair bedroom window at 8.30 to be let in and to have a wonderful cuddle (demanded) then breakfast (in clean bowls or I’m not eating!!) and upstairs to the bidet where we have to put the tap on so he can wash his head(!) and drink out of the tap!!!! He will then play with home-made toys and bath mats and fall asleep on a cushion in the bathroom or on a bed!!!! Quite often (especially if it is cold, he stays in all night). If he is in all night, then he just waits for us but the same routine.

He loves to be cuddled, either on my knee or sitting on my husband’s arms which are folded with his head on his shoulder (the cat not the husband!)!! In the daytime, he loves to go out in the area and wander around but always returns within an hour or two. At night (if he is out) he loves to hunt and will bring his ‘prey’ into the house for praise. If we have visitors, he loves to welcome them and sit on knees, purring all the time). He follows us around a lot and if we sit down, he usually joins us. We brush him a couple of times a day (demanded by throwing himself on the floor and staring at you).

Although he ‘adopted’ us as a very tiny kitten, by crying at our gate about 3 years ago, and then he found his way in after we relented and took him some water, we really have grown to love him and are so upset that we can’t take him with us to the UK. We have a flat there where, unfortunately, there is a ‘no pet’ lease. As we can’t sell here, we don’t really have any options.”

One character cat!!!

Beautiful Older Siam-mix Cats

Sands — Mon, 14 May 2012 19:30:16 +0000

14/05/12: Latest photos show that all is just fine. Jazzy has been sleeping on his Mum’s legs, and exploring the balcony, and is now good cat friends with Amy. He is still a little nervous when his Mum walks towards him, but he is growing in confidence daily.
03/05/12: Jazzy is settling in well as you can see from the new photos. He still gets a little nervous at times and will run off to hide, but most of the time he is quite relaxed, has been sleeping on the sofa and the bed, and slowly making friends with Amy. Both cats have been fine with one another from the start. There have been no signs of fighting. Jazzy only hissed at Amy one time when she tried to lick him. I think that was a little too soon for him, but overall he seems to like her. All is going very well and his new Mum is very happy to have him!

Chilling With Amy

Jazzy's New Home

30/04/12: I now have news from Jazzy’s adoptant of his first couple of days. Jazzy still need s a little time to settle but all seems fine, and his adoptant loves him already: “First I was surprised how big he is compared to Amy. I put him in our study for the first afternoon. He slept half the day and then he was very fit, ate a lot, and then cuddled with us. We opened the door a crack so that the 2 cats could see each other from a safe distance. In the evening he cried so much that I eventually opened the door to let him out. He then slept on my bed at my feet and at the head end slept Amy. Both looked at each other forever, and were very interested but there were no problems.
Today unfortunately he seems nervous and is hiding again. We have to tempt him out with cuddles. I think he just needs a little peace and more time to settle. Already he is very dear to us!”

15/04/12: Jazzy and Ghenghis have now been in their foster home for about a month. All is fine but as these 2 boys do not seem to be the best of friends, we have decided to let them be re-homed separately. Jazzy in the last few days has found his adoptant. The home check was great. He will live in a lovely apartment with a big balcony, AND he has a new girlfriend to meet. I hope he likes her! They will certainly be a beautiful pair with Jazzy’s almost pure siamese looks. It was actually Ghenghis who used to cuddle up to Martylin’s 3rd cat here in Spain, so I am hoping he will soon have his forever home too, with a new friend to keep him company. In the meantime, he is happy in his foster home as you can see from his new photos.

Beautiful Ghenghis

Jazzy's New Friend

14/03/12: Jaz and Ghenghis are 2 beautiful older male cats that their owner has asked me to re-home as she is soon going back to the UK to live and can only take one cat with her. They are now both about 6 years old. Jaz Marylin rescued as a small kitten, but Ghenghis was an adult cat when he found her garden, and has unfortunately recently tested positive for FiV. This shouldn’t affect his chances of a home too much however, and for now the girls in Germany are looking to re-home them together, although both are quite independent. On Friday they will travel to Germany to a foster home, while we find the right adoptant. I have a feeling this won’t take too long as they are very striking, tame, siam-mix cats.

Cute Male Cats Comfrey and Bracken

Sands — Mon, 14 May 2012 19:00:14 +0000

14/05/12: Bracken is fine but has been crying a lot and watching the neighbour’s cats through the window. Our little boy, whilst loving his new home, is definitely not happy as an only cat. Unfortunately our next transport is now delayed until 15.06 so Bracken must wait a little longer for Comfrey to arrive 16.05.
09/05/12: From Tina in Germany: “Here is the first update on Bracken (now renamed to Gismo because of his huge ears and his adorable eyes). On Friday, I picked him up at Mahis together with my father. From the first moment in his new home, he was really brave. He checked on everything and started to cuddle immediately. He is gorgeous. My parents bought a really big cat tree for him (and for Comfrey) and Gismo really loves to climb and play on it. At the moment he has three rooms to live in. When he feels really safe, one door will be opened after another until he knows the whole house. The first night, he was crying a little bit for his cat friends. I was so sorry for him; he does not know how it is to be alone. But it is getting better each day. My parents try to distract him. They are spoiling him with a lot of wet food. He is eating 300-350 g a day, a bit of dry food and of course a lot of goodies. The first three days were only playing, sleeping and eating for the cute boy. Now only Comfrey is missing. We are impatiently awaiting the 01.06.2012, when the boy will come and the two brothers will be reunited. I have attached some photos of Gismos first days at his new home. I think he feels really comfortable.” Unfortunately Bracken will have to wait a little longer for his brother as the June transport has now been delayed 2 weeks.

Bracken In His New Home

30/04/12: FANTASTIC news came yesterday that Bracken and Comfrey WILL be re-united. The mother of one of our adoptants, Tina, wants to adopt Bracken and Comfrey together. They are going to live in a big house with a garden in the country. This is just perfect for these lovely boys. I am so so happy for them. Now all Montse has to do is catch cheeky boy Comfrey and make sure he is vaccinated and ready for the 01.06 transport.

16:40 Now I have the first feedback from the April transport. Bracken has arrived well with MaHie. He is a little shy but ‘beautiful’! All is fine!
28/04/12: Last week I was re-united with Bracken, who after 2 months inside is looking much bigger and stronger, and very healthy. The reason he came to me was because, with all her other cats rushing around, Montse finds Bracken very difficult to catch, AND both Bracken and brother Comfrey had a lovely foster home waiting in Germany. Comfrey did NOT want to be caught and is now booked on the next transport in June! but Montse managed to get Bracken to Miguel for vaccination updates, and he then spent a couple of nights in my cat room, so that in this calm atmosphere I could easily box him for Friday’s transport. He is actually a lovely sweet boy and I await news from Germany that he has settled in well. I think he had a slightly stressful time during his 2 days with me as the 3 little girls thought he was LOVELY, and Anya in particular followed him around a lot! Below are some better photos that I took of him on Thursday.

Bracken With Me

01/03/12: In the last week I have had the pleasure of getting to know these 2 cute little boys. Matt took them in as kittens just over a year ago. They were with their sister Rebecca (re-homed in Germany with Mosto) in a big cage at the vet’s at 6 months! They were very nervous at the beginning so we decided to leave the brothers at Matt’s to see how friendly they became. Then while all of Matt’s young cats and kittens became very sick over last summer, re-homing was put on hold, but as Bracken and Comfrey are now 18 months old, I have decided it really is time they had a proper home of their own.

Both are now very friendly (well done to Matt and his cats!) as you can see from the photos. At first with new people they do hide but after some time they LOVE to be stoked. Bracken is more confident and will come out first. I have been spoiling them with wet food, because they were a little thin from being mostly outside, and once they got to know me they came straight out each day and put on a lovely show to charm me, wanting their tummies rubbed etc and purring away. They were also happy to meet Iain’s cat Smudge and are very sweet, completely non-aggressive little cats. I would like them to have a garden if possible, and I would definitely like them to now stay together.

Last night I handed them over to the capable hands of Montse, who will look after them until an adoptant or foster home comes up in Germany. They have charmed me, so I really hope their photos will have the same effect on a family in Germany soon!

Olivia is now about 5 years old and was rescued by Matt with her brother Tiggy as kittens. They have lived since then as outside cats on his terrace, and exploring the surrounding land of the village near Sorbas where he lives. They are some of the last of Matt’s outside cats that I have re-homed in the last 18 months and I think it was a bit of wrench for him to let them go. Olivia is beautiful and is now a spoilt, only cat in her new home. She does however have 2 rather special friends and looks very happy in her new home. She is now called Sheeva, and her best buddy that she cuddles with and sleeps with every night is big Tequila. Her family have found her to be a very curious, playful cat for her age, and that she always wants to be involved in everything. She has now been in her new home for about 2 months, and although a little shy at first, this little lady now seems to be completely settled. Whilst life was ok in Sorbas, she is loving all the extra attention, and having a proper home of her own at last! She now only has a balcony but this seems to be fine for her, and Matt thought she really wanted to be an inside cat anyway. I now await news of brother Tiggy in his new home.

Brother Tiggy meanwhile, who also traveled to Germany on the 16.03 transport, has a lovely home with a siam-mix female of the same age. He was always a very independent cat so I await news of how friendly he is with his new girlfriend. More importantly for Tiggy than a cat friend is the fact that he does have a garden. Our boy likes to roam!

Handsome Gino & His Friend Rex

Sands — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:40:45 +0000

10/05/12: Gino is another beautiful cat rescued by Montse from the streets of Almeria. I met him to take photos and thought he was completely gorgeous. He is siam-mix in colour, but in shape he is more like an English cat. Gino is a big boy, and at Montse’s was very into his food. He is almost 4 years old but now has a younger friend Rex to help keep him active and in shape. Rex is another Almeria cat from the Alondra Dupont protectora. He is less than a year old and more of a slim Spanish boy. I did wonder how they would get on together but the latest photos from Germany show 2 very happy cats that seem to be friends already. Both travelled on the 27.04 transport and met for the first time in their new home.

Their adoptants are very happy with them. Within 2 hours of arriving both were on the sofa for cuddles. Rex still being a kitten was VERY cuddly and playful from the start . Gino was a little more reserved at first but after 2 days was playing with the toys alone, and then later playing with Rex. He wasn’t too sure at first when Rex wanted to cuddle up to him, but he is slowly accepting his little friend more. Rex I think is more used to being surrounded by other cats. Gino was only at Montse’s for a few weeks before he travelled. It is easy to see why this very handsome boy found his family so quickly. Enjoy the photos of the new friends.

3 Little Girl Cats

Sands — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:45:34 +0000

06/05/12: Great news came last night that little Katrina is well on the mend. Her virus and fever did come back quite badly following the transport, but with the right treatment from MaPu’s German vet, within a week her fever is gone, she is eating really well, and only sneezing occasionally. life is now looking really good for her.
05/05/12: News and photos have now arrived from Dolly and Anya’s new family. All seems absolutely fine: “Tame and cuddly Anya is unchanged and shows endless curiosity. Dolly continues to thaw slowly. Until last night she was crawling through under the bathtub as a hiding place, but now she is living outside, playing with Anya and exploring the apartment. She is still a bit reserved, but from time will accept caresses and treats from our hands. We just need a little more time, but after this sudden progress I think it will not be long. Anya infection is almost completely subsided. At first she was still coughing from time to time, but that is now over.”

Katrina In Her New Home

Dolly & Anya's New Home

23:00: All 3 have arrived in Germany fine. Katrina and her new boyfriend are a very handsome couple. She is sneezing a little again, but MaPu will visit her on Monday to check things. Anya seems fine and was instantly at home. Dolly does seem to have grown in confidence during her 10 days with me. She let her adoptants stroke her from the beginning!
28/04/12: I have had the pleasure for 10 days of looking after Dolly, Anya and Katrina, and became very fond of these lovely little girls. They are PAWs Mojacar cats, but as Anya and Katrina had been struggling with a virus for weeks, and Katrina had not even been able to start vaccinations, their adoptions were at risk, and it was decided to isolate them from the rest of the cattery cats. I am very happy that they responded so well to the new environment, food and treatment, and within days Katrina could have enough vaccinations and was cleared by my vet to travel to Germany.

When they left on the transport yesterday there had been no sneezing for several days from Katrina or Anya and I am really hoping the journey will not set them back. They are beautiful friendly little girls. Katrina has a new young male cat to befriend in her forever home, while Anya and the slightly more shy Dolly have a lovely home together, as the first cats of a young couple who can’t wait to meet them.

Of course Anya and Katrina have been completely charming, demanding lots of attention and cuddles. Dolly hid for the first few days but once she came out for food I could touch her and she was never aggressive. By the last couple of days we were friends, doing tummy tickles with lots of purring. She will just need a little time, and I have advised her adoptants not to be afraid to touch her, and to make sure she gets lots of attention, and not to let the much more sociable Anya grab all the limelight.

Their last day here was very funny as Bracken, a handsome 18 month old boy, joined them. The little girls were VERY excited and so persistent that it was Bracken who was hiding from them, and rushing out to ask for help when I went in! Anya in particular seemed quite glued to him, but I suspect this little madam is about to come on heat, from some of her other antics!

Enjoy their photos. They are adorable kittens and will all be beautiful cats. The first photos I took on their last day here:

Handsome Cat D’Artagnan

Sands — Mon, 07 May 2012 18:14:55 +0000

D’Artagnan is another beautiful boy from Montse’s cat rescue in Almeria. He actually travelled to Germany on the 24.02 transport straight to an adoptant, so it really is time I introduced him to this blog. He is an Angora mix with lovely longer fur, and quite understandably found a home very quickly. In fact several families wanted to adopt this gorgeous boy. He is now just 9 months old and looks a lot bigger than when I met him and took photos in December! News from his new Mum is that he has settled well, now answers to the name of Darti! and is a very strong character. He is good friends with her older cats but at times I think they have to discipline him! His Mum describes him as her ‘naughty’ boy but with a lot of affection!

This is all fantastic and he looks fantastic. When Montse first rescued Darti he was so full of parasites and suffering from fungus that she thought he would not survive the first 24 hours. She then worried that all his fungus treatment had damaged his liver, but Darti has survived and grown into a magnificent cat. Well done to Montse for all her loving care.

Felix – A Charming, Special Cat

Sands — Sun, 06 May 2012 16:40:38 +0000

06/05/12: Felix has become too macho for MaPu’s older boy Simba, so has switched foster homes! This has really made me smile, as it seems my sad, gentle boy has been engaging in some very hard play fights, which means he is feeling GOOD! This will I’m sure be down to the love and care and brilliant food MaPu has been giving him. In just a week he has put on enough weight to have a small stomach visible, which is fantastic as he was too thin for such a long-legged big boy. Apparently on his first night he ate 200g of Grau wet food in about 1 minute and then asked for more! Life should continue to be good as Felix has gone to the lovely family with children that had planned to adopt Indiana, a nervous cat. This didn’t work out, but if Felix gets on well with their female cat Honey, this wonderful home in a big house with a garden could be Felix’s instead!

30/04/12: Time to meet Felix a charming, gentle older cat. I first heard about him from the owner of Ghenghis and Jazzy (also on this blog). Felix was one of 2 ‘stray’ cats that she fed in her garden. She was I know worried about him because he looked so sickly, but he improved a little after she wormed him. I now believe that Felix was an abandoned cat, as he is so sweet and tame, but that he could have been outside for some time before he found Marylin’s garden, and we rescued him. First he went to Matt’s vet who looked after him for 2 weeks, but then he came down to Almeria for a second opinion at Miguel’s, on his skin condition. This is when I met this poor, sad boy, and Montse agreed to take him.

We now know that Felix is about 8 years old, he has had a very bad allergic reaction to fleas, which is why he has lost a lot of fur, and he is suffering from gingivitis. Montse also noticed that he was not using his right leg properly. This lovely boy then put up with a VERY thorough examination of his legs without any aggression. It appears he has a problem at the top joint of his right femur, but Miguel thinks this is an old injury and is now a chronic problem to be managed as required.

All of this is very sad but Felix’s luck has changed. He spent a relaxed 2 weeks at Montse’s lying in the sun on her terrace, and as I completely fell for this sweet, sweet boy I have sent him to foster Mum MaPu on the 27.04 transport. I know she will love him and make him happy again. The news is that he has been eating a LOT which is great, and spent the first night sleeping on her bed! I really believe he will be so relieved to be back in a quiet home again, which is where he belongs, and I am SO SO happy to have been able to help him. Thankyou to Marylin, Matt, Eduardo, Montse and now MaPu for helping to save him. Felix to me is a very special cat!
