Cat Rescue has exploded once again, and it is getting harder and harder for me, on behalf of PinkPaws, to say 'I can't'. I have been contacted today asking help with 3 persians. As those who know me are aware - persians and sphinx have the affect of me being unable to say 'no' Pictures to follow - but as far as I've been informed, we will be taking - x1 full ped. cream adult female x2 1/2 ped. (but appear full) young brown males (very bonded and will not be seperated). I have tentive local interest already for the girle, who will be fostered here with me. The boys will remain with the owner with my help/support for homing. Unless anyone would like to foster/home the boys? Neutering/vacc status unknown as yet, but funds available to do so within foster under PP care. Sarah xx

Couldn't cope with the grooming now I'm afraid - but I had a rescue half Persian years ago and he was so lovely and really affectionate. His name was Oscar.

Persians are Cavvies in feline form, I think. They are just so adaptable, sociable and loving... appreciative for the attention you can give, but happy to just sit and think about.... nothing... .. when you can't! I'm abit of a grooming freak - I enjoy the combing and they do need this @ every third day. I just have a comb beside 'my' sofa, and go through the coat. Miriah likes to supervise me on the 'pooter, so I have a comb by the keyboard and brush her through then She hates being groomed c/o an untreated fracture in a hind leg, so this area makes her abit aggitated. Jackson loves his 'brushy-brushy' My adoration for cats begins with Persians and ends with Sphinx, on a scale of all cat behaviour/natures. Persians are the total opposite to Sphinx. Yoda is like a 2.5 year old who has eaten all the blue smarties! Busy, busy, BUSY.. and if there is trouble, he'll find it... he is so very naughty, comical and sociable - but in an 'in your face' way!

My Alfie sounds like Yoda, but he's an ordinary ginger mog.

My Alfie sounds like Yoda, but he's an ordinary ginger mog. My Misty is too, except she's intelligent with it, can open every cupboard, every door, it's like having a monkey in the house. She's a stray found with mega skin problems and unclaimed, although I have had a few people ask if she was a bengal cross cause she has a spotty tummy. I kinda hope so cause I'd love a Bengal.

.. ferals brought round/hand reared (true ferals!).. are the most wonderful cats! They can catch a fly in seconds, grasp in their paws, chomp.. then purr...and so appreciate their 'base' - and are the most loyal cats you'll meet!
We have Nelly here, a true feral kit, handreared from 2-3 weeks old, and her 1/2 brother, handreared from 1-2 weeks old living a stone's throw away. PP supported a coloney with rehoming/neutering.. something I am very proud of. So many kittens in lovely homes, and a small group left infertile. My most favorite foster *gulp* was/is Spike (through Lauren/GoldenOldies). He was a hissy-spitty terror.. left here so confident, and broke my heart, as I felt I let him down by letting him go. He is very loved by his new family, but *ouchy* it hurt. I adored him, and still bare the scars.
Orientals!!!! YIKES!!! They've been the most opinionated cats ever! Bengals or Abbys are the breed that I could never foster here as adults... I have, but shudder at the thought of doing it again. Kits, yep - but not adults.
Dare I say it... but Ragdolls *runs and hides*... A breed that's been so messed about with. They now are such cute kittens - then are such demons as they mature, if not handled correctly - people think they are buying a cuddle monster, then have a spraying/bitey teenager on their hands..
I've gone very OT from the persian intake, haven't I?!?

I adored him, and still bare the scars. I had a pair like that from Lauren, getting them into cat boxes was a military operation and had to be done in one move or they'd go for the face! They're soppy lap cats now and live as indoor cats in a flat, the change is mental! Bengals or Abbys are the breed that I could never foster here as adults... I have, but shudder at the thought of doing it again. Kits, yep - but not adults. Any Bengals or hybrids you get in, savannahs etc, feel free to send to me for foster. I have a strange fondness for cats that you have to peel off the ceiling!

- I will hold you to that, Holly! Spike came in a group of 3... I have made life long friends with the adoptors of his sisters - they have put in soooo much work. I've had 'Sexy Rexy' and Mr. Foxy' (Javenese uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A7x9Qb9onFZODUMA_mJLBQx.?ei=UTF-8&p=javenses%20cat&fr2=tab-web&fr=moz35) here as typical oriental fosters.. both found homes very suitable to them (only cat.. no other animals.. no other people apart from one Lady slave!!).. I have given the people needing to home these 3 persians the phone number for a Persian Rescue, as they could well have suitable homes waiting.

My son may be gaining another cat.
Last night, he opened the door to let Magic in and was confronted by two black cats, both wearing white collars. Paul had no idea which one was his, but then Gizmo came along and greeted his house mate (or did he choose the other because Magic is a pain?)
Anyway, the other cat stayed outside but miaowed a lot so Paul fed him/her. He was wondering, this evening whether new cat would stilll be there when he got home.
