Rspca Medway West Branch

Penny (Medway West Cattery)

Hope you and your daughter are well.

As you may remember just after Christmas I came to collect Dandy and Teddy from you (now named Coco and Cookie). I thought you might like to hear how they are getting on in their new home.  After only 2 weeks they were quite independant and could come and go as they wished.  They've learnt to use the catflap and are creating chaos around the neighbouhood.  They're still boisterous and provide us with hours of entertainment with their playfighting and hunting practice. They have settled in just fine.

I've attatched a photo of the boys.

Many thanks,

Alan, Sylvia and Katherine

Hello Penny

I just thought you'd would like to see that Patch who is now known as Harry has settled in with us.

I must admit he can be a bit naughty climbing on everything but he'll soon learn that the wall-unit is not a climbing frame lol

But the best thing of all is that he such a loving in cat, I'm so pleased I choose him.

He's eating very well and he quiet good at night well....... The first night he had the waste basket in the bedroom emptied and the second night the Kitchen got the Harry treatment but no harm was done.

Thank you

Mags, Richard and Harry Webb

Hi Penny,

Hope you have had a nice Christmas and have managed to find some time to rest and relax!

I just wanted to send you a couple of photos of Fliss (previously Candy) so you can be assured that she has settled in well and appears to be truly happy.

Take care

Wishing you all at RSPCA a very merry Christmas,

I know you are busy this time of year, just wanted to let you have another update on Walnut & crab.

Our new additions have certianly made the run up to christmas entertaining.

Both are very helpful Walnut loves to assist wrapping up the presents, more so when we add any bows or ribbons.

& Crab is adding his artistic flair by re arranging all the desorations to suit him.

Whilst crab lays seige of the Cristmas tree for the umpteenth time, Walnut is everyones best friend. He really turns on the charm with the cute behaviour when there is food around, upping the volume on his purring.

And if all gets to much they flop down with exhausted on the fish tank.

Bless them.

Hope you enjoy the latest photos.

Kindest regards

From

Hi,

My name is Amy and i rescued a hamster from you in september. I named her daisy{dumpling} she loves eating blueberries,bannanas and stawberries and loves a spoonful of porridge in the morning. We started letting her running about in are conservatory she always herself getting into mischief. Her favourite things to do are go in her ball,climb,eat and having a kiss and a cuddle with me we have become very close and i hate it when mum makes me put her back in her cage.  Im very pleased with her quick progess. Now she loves being held by everybody .

Hi Penny

Here are the photo's of Daisey (AKA Star) I promised to send you to show her settling in.

Also a picture of Daisey with our other cat Millie.

I will keep you updated with her progress,

I went to see them this eve for the first time, allowing them to settle in and they were out and about running up and down the stairs after a ping pong ball, you could hear them running and skidding upstairs along the hall way...they are really REALLY crazy!! They look absolutely amazing, their coats are that shiney u can see ya reflection...no lie its like a mirror, they are beautiful...truely beautiful!! my mum is going to call you Penny at some point with an update, but i thought id send an email also with a few attached pics for you to see.

anyway take care... u do a fantastic job with all these babies, speak soon Adele x

Hi Penny

Just a little update.

Thomas aka Hunky and Custard aka Dory are doing fine.

Thomas is a fussy little git! wouldn't eat his biscuits just the meat, but he has now started to eat them as and when nothing else is about for him.

Custard well she loves her food, meat and biscuits and she is doing OK on the food front.

Both going to bed when we go now in the hall so getting used to this which is good.

They are so loving especially Thomas he always kisses me and wants loads of cuddles, they are very naughty when they want to be but very different personalities, custard the girl acts like a mum, sister and a 1 yr old cat she is the mature one around here.  Thomas on the other hand loves climbing up the curtains, chasing the mouse on the pc, sitting on my shoulder and sleeping.

I have included some pics of them, hope you like.

Back in contact soon

Take Care and Thanks for all your help Penny you deserve a medal for all your work.

Hello Penny,

Sorry for taking so long in getting round to letting you know how Misty is getting on.

After initially being very nervous and skittish around us, she now loves her new home (and owners). She loves to run around the house like a nutter!! She gets on great with our other cat Lottie and they play together all the time. She is a very affectionate cat and gets plenty of love from us.

She's always wanting loads of attention and if she doesn't get it she will demand it, if you're reading a paper or magazine she'll come over and sit on it, if you are watching tv she will come on your lap and be so soppy it doesn't matter how good the thing is you're watching you can't help but pay attention. As I type this email she is climbing all over the keyboard and monitor for attention!!

Thank you for such an amazing addition to our family!

Kind Regards,

Alex & Scott xx

Hello.
 
I thought i would just send you a quick email letting you know how Branston is settling in. We are beginning to become friends, he has settled in well into his new hutch and run, he is very interested in my little dog they keep following each other up and down his run sniffing at each other. I had a lot of work to do today so brought Branston inside to let him explore and have a play. He had a great time chasing my hamster in her bright pink ball but was less impressed when he slid on the wooden floor boards and the hamster then chased him!!
 
I have attached a few pics of him playing and settling in.

Hi Penny

Its only been a week, but I thought you might like to see lovely Charlie, or charles the first as philippa calls him!

As you can see he is taking life in his stride dribbling with joy and really enjoying all the chances to have a nap…

The photo of Charlie and Philippa I took last night at 10pm….they were like that all night!

See you soon when I bring Mum for her Kittens.

Keep up the good work !

All the Best

Hi Penny,

Just a quick note to let you know how Baby Schuey is doing. Well both of the girls (Princess Mimi & Princess Yuki) love him to bits, especially Mimi who never leaves him alone.

Although Schuey is training to be in the SAS, in his spare time he is a mummy's boy and is always making funny little noises, which i take it to be that he's happy.

Here's a few pics of all the weenies to show you how gorgeous they are.

Love Mel, Princess Mimi, Princess Yuki & Baby Schuey xxx

Hi Penny

Thought I would give you an update on Bitsa ... !

I wasnt sure how he would get on with our resident rescue cat Rocky (who is not the most social of cats!) - but after a period of integration they seem to get on well ... dare I say almost like one another!! Bits loves to play - will often pounce on Rockys tail (maybe cos his is missing!)  - and he loves to cuddle up on anyones lap - he's not so fussy who's!!

It was a bit worrying at first - introducing two adult cats - but if anyone else who comes to rehome a cat is worried - I would definately say try it!

Pics attached!

ps - if you have another cat who has been with you for a long time - let me know ... I think we have room for another!

Hello Penny

I rescued a cat called sky (Black and White) from you about 7 months ago (now renamed Murphy), she is doing really well and is very settled but sadly our other cat passed away last week and she is missing her terribly.  I would like to get her another play mate as she is so full of energy and loves to play but as she has lost her play friend, she is not so energitic so we need to get her another friend.  I think she would prefer a younger playful sister, if you could let me know if you have anything available me and Murphy would me much appreciated

Kind Regards

Hi To All!!!

We recently addopted Quinn and Wiggle from you. As you know they wern't a real pair. You had to try it out and hope for the best!

Quinn (Now known as Smudge)

Hes been so friendly and comes hopping up to you when you go next to the run. He has a really exciting character! As soon as we put him in the run he started eating grass!!! Hes become very settled and is such a pleasure to have!

Wiggle (Now known as Thumper)

She took longer to settle in than Smudge but has got used to it now. She still wiggles when you pick her up but soon settles down and doesn't mind.

Thumper's more into her toys and the sun than her partner.

Now I'm sure you'd like to know how the pair have got on with eachother.

Smudge is so loved up! He's already grooming her! She's still boss and doesn't like Smudge trying to become boss. Love is in the air!!

Thank You

Maz and Sophia

Hi

Just wanted to send you the first photo I've managed to take of the rabbits where they don't have evil red eyes!

I have had three rabbits from yourselves - I adopted Maisie (she was called Domino) last September as a companion to Fergal (aka Houdini).

Sadly, he succumbed to e.Cuniculi earlier this year, leaving Maisie moping and clingy.

I decided to get her a new chap, and returned to your branch. After a couple of false starts, we settled on Figaro - now called Bertie. I'd clearly been spoiled when introducing Maisie to Fergal, as that went without a hitch, but these two had several rows, and at one point the three of us were shut in the kitchen, sat on the floor, nervously checking each other out.

Now, they are totally inseparable. Maisie still comes over for a cuddle, but is more than happy playing with Bertie. They have great fun racing around the flat, and Saturday mornings wake me up by thundering into my bedroom and staring at me, demanding their breakfast. For mostly quiet animals, they are very good at getting their point across.

So thank you for everything, and for matching me up with my lovely pets.

Regards

Hello Penny

Thought you may like to know how Kodak is getting on. We actually call him Kojak now due to hubbys deafness at the time of contact with you.

Well after a rocky start with him hiding up our chimney for 36 hours and behind sofas, he is now absolutely ruling the roost, we love him to bits and he has developed a real character. Unfortunately for hubby this was supposed to be a cat for him but now I can't move or sit down without Kojak being with or on me. I must say it was like having a toddler again the first time he went out because we were watching him like a hawk while he was discovering our garden and fences. Then one night he didn't come back before we went to bed so hubby was up in the night to see if he was back, but no, he strolled in wondering what all the fuss was about at 6.40 the following evening! He is so funny and actually talks to me in his own way, though not always hubby. Have attached a picture for you.

We both think that you do an amazing job and wish you continued success in a great worthy cause.

Thank you very much.

Chris and Rod Foster
