It was a huge relief to hear that these 2 had arrived safely in their new home. I still can’t quite believe that we have achieved this. Or course they are tired and stressed and will take time to adjust, but their new owner sounds a lovely understanding lady. Kerstin has translated this email from her. We await more news and photos!
“News from Monty and Mimi… I translate…
after arrival at 14.30 p.m. Hedwig brought both fast into her house… Mimi was trembling and looked at her with big fearful eyes…
She brought the box into the catroom and opened it. Only some minutes later they went out of the box… Both are sitting behind the sofa and Mimi was very exhausted and slept after she cuddled to Monty, who put to protect his paw over her…
They will ned a lot of time to forgot these strains, but they have all time they need.. If they will come out from behind the sofa Hedwig will take photos. But at the moment she will let them alone to relax and only looks from time to time after them and talks with them so that they can accustom to her voice…
She hope that all will be good with her other three cats, too… so that they like each other…
lovely rgds. from Hedwig”
These two have been Sandra’s biggest success story to date.I began to think that we would never catch Mimi who was the most elusive and canny cat imagineable but thanks to Sandra’s endless patience with the catch cage we got her in the end.It is also great that they can stay together for the rest of their lives as there is a close bond between these two stray cats.What a life they will have now in the countryside – very lucky cats. Now its time to try and catch another elusive Siamese cat and her kittens and get them all vaccinated etc and on their way to good homes in Germany.Slowly slowly we are reducing the number of feral cats in the Marina – and we must move on to steralising the ones which are still wandering around.All look healthy and cared for and shouldnt present too big a problem in catching them.Well done Sandra yet again.
Brilliant!!! I m sure they will soon be adjusted, but the lady seems perfect for them.
Again congrats to all, and I agree with Pam … best success story to date, with Smokey Boy and Bono very close joint second!!!
