Mila – A Very Small Character Cat!
20.05.12: Mila has a huge personality for such a tiny cat, and seems to be managing to charm us all, despite some quite bad behaviour!

She IS tiny but also quite round, like a very big kitten …
Tila – A Beautiful Siam-mix Lady
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.

Dog Loving Siam-mixes
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 …
Handsome Gino & His Friend Rex
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.

06/05/12: Great news came last night that little Katrina is well on the mend.

Felix – A Charming, Special Cat
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 …
Blanca – A Beautiful Blue-eyed Cat
04/05/12: New photos arrived this week of Blanca thoroughly enjoying life. It seems she is no longer much of a cuddle cat, being far too busy rushing about in the garden. She is now a lean machine, and loves climbing trees and generally expending energy. When she finally settles down to rest, her favourite place is her snuggly polar bear. Her Mum says that …
Little Laura & Archimedes
04/05/12: Now I have lovely photos of these 2 who are already friends, and a very funny update from their new Mum, as if written by Laura who seems to think she is a little grand for her new toyboy, but quite fancies him! I have translated a little of her message: “Archi was so sad because I did not want to know him, he …
4 Young Sorbas Cats
Time to meet 4 more gorgeous, friendly young cats from Matz Catz near Sorbas. They were all friends of Taj and Mica, already on this blog, and until recently were all living mainly outside on Matt’s terrace. He rescued them all in 2011 as ‘at risk’ kittens, but due to prolonged viral infections, we had to delay re-homing this little colony until recent months. These …

Bud, Donka & Dana AND Gaia
01/05/12: On the 27.04 transport, Dana finally travelled to Germany. I am really happy that she now has her chance of her own family. Dana is almost the last of Montse’s 2010 kittens, that all grew to be adult in her house, because at this time nobody was helping her to re-home them. Dana has become a lot more sociable at Montse’s in recent weeks, …
Albert – A Big Cuddle Cat
29/04/12: Albert is another Almeria cat. Montse found him hungry and afraid by the rubbish bins close to the surgery of our vet Miguel. He was full of parasites and very sad.

Roger & Alex – Cats In Love
29/04/12: Since my last posting on these 2, I did manage to line up a foster home for them, but then we had the fantastic news that they had an adoptant who didn’t mind if Roger was a little nervous.

Charlie Is Happy Now!
14/04/12: I was thinking about Charlie the other day and wondering if he was out in his garden yet enjoying the Spring sunshine. The news via Anke is that progress has slowed a little but all is fine. Charlie still needs to ‘brave’ the dogs to get outside, and our funny boy is taking his time with this hurdle! Once this is achieved I …
Two Beautiful Siam-mix Cats
I have just received some lovely photos of Trina and her boyfriend Francis B in their forever home in Germany.

Not surprisingly these beautiful cats found a home just a …

28/03/12: The weather seems to be improving all over Europe, and spring has reached Germany. Last week Anke sent me the first photos of 2012 of her 5 cats enjoying the sunshine on the balcony. Big Hanni wasn’t among them. He seemed to be enjoying a peaceful lie-in in Anke’s bed, while little minx Olli was out of the house! Enjoy!!!
Sammi – A Very Beautiful Gentle Cat
Sammi is another lovely cat found abandoned in Mojacar, but whereas somebody obviously thought she was worth nothing here in Spain, in Germany prospective adoptants were almost fighting over this beautiful cat. Being a gentle girl, she was very un-impressed to find herself in the PAWs cattery sharing a pen with tortie Carrie Ann, but her looks found her a home so fast she was …

19/01/12: Yesterday Anke sent me some fantastic new photos of Lilly & TJ and their lovely dog friend Nino. They are look very close and happy. I always LOVE photos of cats and dogs snuggled up together. Lilly looks fatter in the face and much more grown up, but this is not a surprise …
Marley A Handsome FiV Cat
I am now so used to male cats in particular, testing positive for FiV that it doesn’t really worry me too much. They are not very likely to have health problems if looked after well, and they have a very good chance of finding great homes now that understanding of FiV is spreading, particularly if they are as handsome and gorgeous as Marley. He ended …
Brons An Older Porch Cat
20/03/12: The home check was positive, so Brons will move this evening. He has proved to be a slightly fussy eater and has been feasting on beef, tuna and sausage, but now his adoptants can find the perfect cat food for this lovely boy!!!

Dina & Descartes Siam-mix Cats
Last night I received some lovely photos from Germany of Dina playing in her new home, so it really is time I introduced her and her brother Descartes.

They have a great home together with a lovely young couple in a wonderful apartment with a big terrace. …

Debra’s Sister Josie
04.03.12: More lovely photos came in today of a very contented little cat, but the latest news is that Josie is now suffering from a chest infection (possible pneumonia), which is not good. Anke has advised a change of vet, as Josie’s adoptant’s current one seems very anti antibiotics. She is now on some but should have been earlier. She isn’t looking too sick from …
Helping Peter – A Beautiful Cat
27/02/12: Ok it is DEFINITELY time for an update on Peter, because his life has really looked up. Kerstin sent me some videos of Peter playing the days of his operation and he looked great. He recovered brilliantly, much more so than when he had his teeth cleaned here in Spain. I think this is because he is so much stronger now after months …
Gitana
AlStrays from a re-homing point of view IS principally about cats. I work with cat rescue centres and Katzenherzen, a charity in Germany, to re-home cats. Every so often however we all stray into new territory, and Gitana is one lucky dog that happened to walk up to the right person. In the past dogs in need from Almerimar have been able to go to …
Diane’s Baby Kittens
14/02/12: Today some beautiful new photos have come in of Pedro, enjoying the snow and garden with his best buddy, AND life in general! We sometimes think that our Spanish cats might miss the sun when they travel to much colder Germany, but there are compensations! Pedro looks to be very happy and not feeling the chill at all, AND, let’s face it, for …
Harvey & Greta – Settled At Last
08/02/12: Today some fantastic new photos came from Maria, Harvey and Greta’s Mum.
18/12/11: Last Saturday I was able to visit Harvey and Greta in their home, and it was really lovely to see them after about 2 years. Harvey was always a cool cat, but Greta has changed from being a slightly nervous girl, to being a calm relaxed cat, who was happy to be …
