This is my article published in the Euro Weekly News today. It features Bono, one of our very special rescue cats.
EWN Article 15/07/10: Against The Odds
This is my full article, part of which was published in the Euro Weekly News last week. The rest of the article will feature in future weeks. It talks about some of AlStray’s ‘special’ cats and kittens.
Little Bono Update
Bono was our biggest rescue. He is the gorgeous kitten that was unable to eat himself when we first rescued him, because his poor little mouth wouldn’t open sufficiently, which is possibly why he was abandoned. We fed him meat smoothies and milk for weeks using a syringe, and when he was finally able to slowly eat soft food, Martina found him a fantastic home …
Strays Update 16/06/09
I had a very constructive morning today. Big Tommy (our FIV positive Tomcat) had blood taken by Miguel for a plasma test. It seems that the quick test sometimes give positive results in error, so we are hoping that this more accurate one at the lab may give him a FIV negative result, which will mean he can travel to Germany this weekend. Roya is …
Bono (Jonathan) At Home
Cute Little Chap
Here are some great photos of little Bono (now re-named Jonathan), happy in his new home in Switzerland with girlfriend Desdemona. This is one lucky (and cute) little chap. As Pam says, he has really “fallen on his feet”; he has a completely besotted and extremely attentive new owner in Sabine, and a gorgeous female cat to be his best buddy.

Bono On His Way!
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.
Stray Cats Update 05/03/09
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.
I am hoping to see Jos tomorrow to find out the exact date of the next transport to Germany (we hope the 13th or 14th), and finally be told how many boxes …
Picture Of The Week
A Bit Cheeky
Do we think that little Bono is starting to take over the whole house. Rufus really didn’t actually get asked whether he wanted to share his bed!
20:00 – Forgot to mention earlier that big Rufus the dog was also an Almerimar stray kindly adopted by Pam & John.
Photo Of The Week
Contented Little Chap
I took this of Bono resting after a BIG meal! He is actually tall and slim, but here he looks like a little buddah with a VERY full belly!!!

Stray Cats Update 14/02/09
Last Saturday I managed to take some really great photos and video of little Bono. The video started off as a diagnostic idea so that a vet friend of Mary’s could try and give us a second opinion, but was also very cute, and features some ‘interesting’ background chat!
The photos have gone down so well in Germany that Martina emailed me on Thursday to say …
A Day In the Life Of …
Life IS pretty hectic at the moment with regard to all the cat stuff, and Chris definitely thinks I’m a little obsessive at times, and that it does tend to take over our lives. Cats can come even before food shopping and definitely before cleaning in our house, but then I was always good at finding something to come before that.
However I’m not …
Kittens On The Front-Page
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.
Pictures Of Bono
One Satisfied Kitten
I took this picture after Bono had managed to eat a whole tin of Gourmet pate. Having a belly full of more solid food seems to have made him very sleepy, and he decided to join his new best friend, Capone, in the dog’s basket.

This was taken yesterday, and is really so that a friend of Mary’s can take a look, so apologies for the dribbly close-ups! He was a vet for many years and treated lots of Persian cats with palette problems. We are hoping he may be able to give us a second opinion. Begona our vet …
Kitten Update
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. …
Stray Cats Update 16/01/09
This has been a busy and successful week for Almerimar Strays, certainly for me! Little Bono has needed 3 trips to the vet and many feeds with syringes. His mouth continues to be a problem and we are hoping that his latest Cortisone treatment will finally do the trick and free up his muscles so that he can eat properly by himself. Now he is …
Bono Update
This morning we took little Bono back to the vet for more injections. Even Begona thinks there is an improvement in his poor little locked mouth. He is still on daily antibiotic and anti-inflammatory injections, for a suspected infection in his jaw muscles or nerves. We are having to be very patient and in the meantime continue to feed him liquids by syringe.
Meet Bono
Beautiful Little Boy
Little Bono is our first rescue of 2009. You can see form the photos and video below just how sweet and gorgeous he is, hence the name I have given him which is short for bonito (beautiful boy). However when we picked him up he had and still has a real problem in that he cannot open his mouth to eat properly …
First Rescue Of 2009
Yesterday Pam saw a beautiful little Siamese/Persian cross kitten that appeared to have been abandoned, on the rocks with the other stray cats. She said that he was really friendly, was very hungry, rushing from bowl to bowl for food, and appeared to have a bad cold. It seems that our priorities in trying to help the stray cats here will always change, depending …
