Doug

Doug was rehomed in January 2011

         "Thought you would like to see a photo of Doug the cat who we got from you this time last year. 

He is a happy cat."

Izzie

Izzie was rehomed in December 2011

"We just wanted to make contact and let you know how Izzie is getting on since we adopted her from you in December.

She is now living happily with our other cat and our dog. All 3 get on well - with the dog being more scared of both cats than the other way round! Izzie always finds the sunny spots and enjoys finding cosy places to hide!

We hope that Cassie has made a full recovery now and gone to her new home.

 Attached are some pictures of her in her new home and getting up to mischief!"

Gengis (was Crunchie)

"We rescued a very large ginger tom cat from you in June 2011 ,you called him Crunchie, but we changed it to Gengis.

He is very happy and loves lots of snuggles but on his terms.

He gets on quite well with Teddie, our yorkie dog.

Many thanks for letting us have Gengis he is a classic cat full of fun and very very loved by everyone."

Rosie (was Mona)

   

    Rosie was rehomed in August 2011. 

    As you can see from the photo, she was well and truly settled in by the time it came       to playing with all the Christmas decorations!

Jack (was Flapjack)

Flapjack was rehomed in July 2011

"Flapjack is settling in real well , he is the perfect cat for us . Likes lots of fuss and pampering. 

We call him Jack he has also doubled in size , must have been large kitten . However he is  now a very mature cat ."

Twinkle and Tom

Twinkle and Tom were rehomed in September 2011.

"I thought I’d let you know that Twinkle and Tom have settled in really well and made themselves at home – as you will see on the pictures I’ve attached. 

 They are playing loads and chasing each other around the house, until one or the other has enough then there is a lot of hissing and spitting – game over! Then 5 minutes later it starts all over again"

"The cats have been going outside for a week or so now.   They are loving the freedom!  Tom has been hunting and brought his victims back home!  I did explain that he needn't go to the trouble but he takes no notice :)  "

Tilly

Tilly was rehomed in August 2011 

 She is no doubt the most affectionate cat we have ever known and she is now a gorgeous family member! Thank you for looking after and letting us re-home this amazing little cat!"

Mary 

Mary was rehomed in March 2011

"Here are some photos of me in my new home. As you can see I certainly love to spend lots of time sitting in unusual places in the garden! How could the family change the name you gave me, as you look at the pictures, thinking of the nursery rhyme "Mary Mary". 

My family chose me because I looked so pretty, seemed friendly and purred loudly. I soon settled with my two ginger cat brothers. We all sit comfortably together on the same settee, but I still like my own space. As for Pumpkin the Jack Russell, we tolerate each other well.

I get plenty of creature comforts indoors and out, along with lots of love and affection. I love my family as much as they love me. I think of you often and the family have promised to support you whenever they can."

Monty and Misty (were Munch and Peggy)

Monty and Misty were rehomed in July 2011. It hasn't taken them long to settle!

"This is a photo of Monty and Misty taking an  afternoon nap on my bed. They are settling well and enjoying exploring the house. ... Thank you for letting me adopt this adorable pair, they are such good companions that I'm glad I was able to take them both."

"We thought we would write to you to let you know how we are getting on. The humans we live with now are a funny lot. They seem to think they are in charge - how wrong they are!

We have attached a couple of pictures of us.  Bubbles (right) on one of the rafters and Bobbie (left) on the other rafter. Our humans don't like it when we get up here. They are frightened that we will fall down. They are so silly. Don't they realise that this is the very best vantage point!

Bobbie is as daft as a brush! He thinks that his tail is some sort of snake and spends many happy hours trying to catch it. Me, Bubbles (the more intelligent one) loves to chase and catch flies and spiders. Then, much to the humans disgust, I eat them!

At the moment there's lots of stuff going on as we are soon moving house, so there are lots of boxes and bubble wrap for us to investigate and help the humans to fill. Bubbles likes to chew the bubble wrap (perhaps she's not as clever as she thinks as it makes her sick)! She is so silly! When we move our humans say they'll let us out. We haven't been out yet as when we were supposed to go out it got really cold and snowed, twice, now we have to move. We can't wait to go out as we will be able to wind up our humans so much more than we already do! We don't let them go anywhere unless they are supervised (even to the bathroom) and if they shut us out we make so much noise and create so much they have to let us in! We allow them to sleep in their bed with us - we are good like that. We love climbing all over them when they are watching the TV especially when it comes to the good bits! We make sure they can't see these!

We thought you would like to know how things are. We are still working on training our humans but they are VERY slow to learn!"

Update July 2011:

"Hello everyone.

We thought we would write to you again to let you know how things are going in our new home.

Moving itself was a nightmare! We were stuck in a carrier in the back of a car for over 3 hours! Then when we got to our new home we were put in a pen for the next 24 hours whilst these men moved in the  furniture and stuff. Eventually we got out of confinement and set off to explore! Great fun. Since then it has been one big round of people here doing all sorts of things and making so many noises it's driving us crazy! Banging, drilling, digging - all sorts. What makes us more cross than anything else is our slaves will not let us go outside to help these men making all these strange noises! They say they are worried about us 'getting in the way' of lorries and things. Us get in the way - would we even dream of doing that?

However, we are lucky now that we can go out in the garden once all these weird men and noises have gone home. It's great fun. We love to chase all the flies, butterflies and birds (we can't catch the birds) and OH what a noise the birds make when we are out and about. We have learnt to climb up the fences and go into next doors garden, they don't seem to mind, and we frequently go for walks up the road to see what's going on up there. Next door on the other side have 2 dogs - we don't like them very much and we don't think they like us either. We try and avoid going in their garden if we can but sometimes it is irresistible. They do need winding up from time to time to keep them on their toes! Our slaves do get a bit bothered when we go on walkabouts (as we call them) but it is fairly safe as we live in a very quiet cul-de-sac. As for coming home - sometime we come home when we are called but otherwise we have 'selective hearing'. When eventually all these men and machines have gone we will get our slaves to unlock our very own front door (cat flap) then we will be able to come and go as we please (after THEY have taught us how to use it - as if we need teaching). Great fun. We don't like the rain. We have been caught once or twice in that nasty wet stuff! We come in quickly when this happens! Once in the great outdoors Bobbies favorite place is on the roof. He is a bit of a wooz though as he has real trouble getting down. Eventually he jumps from the conservatory roof, if one of our slaves is not around to 'help' him down. Bubbles favorite place is on the shed roof where she can wind the birds up. Our fence climbing is very good but walking along the fence is still a bit wobbly. We are getting better and with more practice we will soon be able to run along them!

When our slaves are in the garden either doing things or sitting having a rest we love to be with them to help them do the garden or make sure they are taking notice of us and not talking to each other or doing anything that does not involve us. In doors we have a grand time chasing the flies and things that come in. We eat as many of them as possible much to our slaves disgust! As it's been colder these last couple of days there haven't been many for us to get and added to this our slaves have brought a couple of fly catchers! They spoil all our fun! We have already found good places to sit in the garden if it is really hot - nice and shaded and woe-betide anyone who tries to take these places from us!"

"Alfie is very well and happy. He sleeps most of the day and goes out when it gets dark. His little sister is still not sure she likes him much, sometimes she's friendly then she growls at him. I think he is a bit bemused by her antics but doesn't seem to care much and will chase her about just for the fun of it now and then, so he's not bullied by her. I think neither wants to be Top Cat especially but they don't want the other one to be either! They can be quite affectionate and do the kissy thing so there is hope!

I've sent a couple of pictures - it's not easy to photograph a black cat indoors - you don't see much unless his eyes are open.

Thanks again for letting us give him a home - he is such a sweetie."
