We have babies!

We are proud to announce that last Tuesday the 5 th of April . Stripes produced her first litter of kittens. All 5 are doing well! I will keep you posted with photos and updates.

We have elephants in the house!

Angel's darlings are growing up fast, now 9weeks old , have had their first injections and past their first visit to the vets with flying colours. They wowed everyone in the waiting room and had May cuddles with the staff! No where in the house is now out of bounds as far as they are concerned as that rampage through the house like asmall herd of elephants! How can something so small make so much noise when they run about! They have now meet all the other females in the house hold and we even had a short venture out on to the patio in the sun.
They are now ready to meet their future parents . This process is very important to me , so I of course will ensure my  kittens  go to the right homes to enable them to have a happy, fulfilled and stimulating life as possible, to be loved and cherished as much as they have been here. A tremendous amount of time, effort , heartache and devotion has been poured into these precious little bundles and therefore I would like all prospective new owners to ensure they can commit to continuing this path. 

Little adventure onto the patio , safe on Tim's lap!

Getting bigger, enjoying solids and making new friends

Well Angel's little darlings are all growing up, not yet fluffy cuties but very sweet. They are playing, scrapping and exploring, Zippy is the most adventurous closely followed by the little girl! They have had  some visitors to start the all important socialisation !

Breakfast is very important especially if you've a lot of growing to do!

First to learn how to climb over the door barrier!

Making friends, with Adam my new neighbours son!

Sometimes there is just nothing for it you just have to get in there!

Then you need a good clean up!

Next is the all important after food snooze!

Angels little cherubs

I an glad to say all the little darlings are doing well. Including the little foster kitten ! It is easy to spot! Black and white one! Popped into my vets on Friday 22nd may and they had a tiny new born kitten , which had been found on the street and handed into the police, then on to them . So one of the vet nurses was feeding it, I suggested when Angel had given birth it was worth a try to see if she would accept Zippy, delighted to say that she has taken to it as one of her own as these photos show.

New Home and New Beginnings!

Well, I would love to say that my first night in the new house was an uneventful one! However Angel decided that she had held on long enough and so I was up most of the night as birthing partner. I am proud to announce that despite all being breach we have 3 new additions! Fingers crossed they are all little fighters.

Humphrey and Godfrey!

This week I have had a few photos from Liz in Leicester of the kittens she had last year and i just had to share with you as they are growing into such handsome boys! Although i think the first one required thought bubbles as Godfrey looks very cross ( if looks could kill!) and Humphrey looks very perturbed!

 

Some photos of last years babies at their new homes!

Life this end has been difficult as you all know and i am sure understand the heartbreak of the end of my marriage has meant that i have had to re-home several of my adult cats , despite them all going to live with lovely people with whom they are very happy if has been very hard for me. that coupled with general sadness and the roller-coaster ride of separation, selling and buying of homes has been my reason for not blogging for sometime. 

Well things are about to change with the start of a new life and new me! so i now intend to get back to blogging at least once a week to keep you updated on my darlings, their babies and and up coming announcement!

so my first blog is going to be a quick update in photo form of some of last years little darlings in their new homes.

Good Bye to My Precious

Sadly, I have had to make the hardest decisions of all to end my darling Precious' time in this world, she was  just over 11 years old , but on Friday she was showing signs of neurological problems and not able to walk properly. When I took her to the vet ,they thought she may have eaten some mouse pellets.They kept her in to put her on a drip, however she still showed no improvement today, and her blood test results were very puzzling with several unusual  levels off the scale. Causing Chronic Kidney Failure , Despite Mr Joely at Amical Vets best efforts it was decided it was the kindest and most loving thing to be done for her. She was a very special girl and will be missed by those she was friends with!

Need to Re-home some of my adult cats

Sadly due to an imminent change in circumstances I need to reduce the number of my cats . So it is with great regret and much heart wrenching sadness I am looking for permanent loving homes for the following of my furry babies. They will all be neutered, with up to date vaccinations flea and worm treatments.

SOPRETTY
Is a  striking red point, female born 17.4.10 so just 4 years old. Very loving girl who would be happy to be homes on her own.

 TIGGY
Is not yet 3  a seal tabby point  female. born  18.10.11. Who wouldn't stay still while I tried to take photos as all she wanted was love , strokes and cuddles! Full of fun and love, happy to be homes alone or with other cats.

SNUFFLES
 A seal tabby Tiggy's son who is a big softy. He is the boy who I hand reared last year so laid back and loving. Born 4.4.2013. I was going to keep him as a stud but he would much rather be a house cat with adoring human company and is not much interested in girls, however I do think he may have a litter of kitten due to Angel in the near future.

I have already found homes for smudgekin is is going to live with her only daughter Alice in Stowmarket and Tyler is retiring to live locally with a family friend who adores him. I will be so sad to see them go as they are my adored furry babies and much loved pets, but I have to reduce my numbers so have no other option but to part with them.

End of an Era

The last of the 2013 kittens left home yesterday with their new families they were headed in different directions Marvin to East Sussex and Boris and Barnaby  to Yorkshire . 

It is the end of an era as they were the last litter for Joy, she is retired ,on Monday she is being spayed and then she will being going to live in Stratford- upon- Avon with her son Chester from this litter

They are growing into fluffy bundles of love!

Who could resist these gorgeous cuties? Luckily I have spent the afternoon loving them. They all were so good when the vet came to give them their first injection, they passed the checks with flying colour!

Poor Joy still gets mobbed if she lays down long enough for the babies to get in for a feed, they are all weaned now but mummy's milk is so good!

Christmas is coming! Gift ideas to help Ragdoll Cats

If you are looking for Raggie Gifts for Christmas. Why not help a good Cause and have a look at the Ragdoll Rescue web site store. at http://www.ragdoll-rescue.co.uk/store/.
Store - Ragdoll Rescue

The Ragdoll Rescue provides a Rehoming Service with a network of willing volunteers situated all over the country ready to help. In recent years, we have been asked to help rehome a number of Ragdolls when people’s circumstances have changed and they are sadly no longer able to keep their cats.
They have had some fab cards made that are blank suitable for all occasions, also some lovely bed liners and their own wall calendar. I hope to do a fund raiser for them again at the beginning of next year which I am sure you will all come and support again like you did last time.
