Some callous individual has dumped 4 tiny kittens in the garden of a holiday home opposite to where i live in Selin Villas. I noticed them huddled up together on the front wall to the property on Friday night. It was a pitiful sight as they are a bit scraggy. I am feeding them and they are content to stay where they are at the moment. I have taken them to Pertev the Vet in town who is helping to rehome them, so to date i have taken them to his surgery at 0930 and pick them up at 1630 and put them back in the garden and will have to do this everyday except the weekend until they are homed. They are looking a bit better now they have had medical assistance and food and are really friendly and cute. Trouble is i have 11 cats and 2 dogs already and am at breaking point. I know this is going to be hard but if any one can take on a kitten or know someone who could please get in touch on 05338326369.

I hate hearing about things like this 4 innocent kittens that i bet are really cute and loving and just want a home. If i was out there i would take all 4.. but glad theres peeople like yourself that take them rather than leaving them out on the street.



Good luck with rehoming them.

LondonCypriot,

I'll be at Pertev's at 9:30 tommorrow (and every other flipping day, with my 14 year old cat!...) so I'll take some pics for you, if they haven't gone.

He 'very-subtley' introduced me to them the other day - he knows that I've got 5, but he never gives up!

I'd get murdered if I came home with another 4

Keith.

Hey Lilli,

Are you and Kibris ganging up on me?

If I brought just one more cat home, it might possibly get in the house, but I'd be living in the shed!...

Keith.

Hi Esmie,

Thank you for being so kind to the kittens. We took the little girl kitten from Pertev this afternoon. We gave her a bath and she seems to be settling in well. We popped in with our dog and came out with a kitten!



They are all lovely and it was hard to choose just one, so come on guys, at least go and have a look if you're half considering a kitten or two or three!



Pertev does a brilliant job - he's also got a beautiful puppy needing a home, very loving and intelligent I was told.

Hi Everyone,

A big thankyou to Esmie for doing her best for the kittens and to Philnles for homing the little girl kitten. I look at my old dog Monty and younger cat Chloe and well up when I think how loved and cared for they are, NOW. We took them both in {12 and 4 years ago) when nobody else would/could and over the years they have brought us much happiness and laughter, very few tears, with very little effort on our part really. If we were in Cyprus for good would definately take one or two of the kittens, but then how could I leave the third? Hope someone out there is wavering and the remaining ones find homes soon.

All the very best Julie x

And then there were three... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2545/3677993130_55f70a9542_o.jpg

I'm sorry that thw picture is pretty abysmal, I got one quick shot 'through the bars' and then my camera battery gave up!

Never happens to David Bailey...

I've got to go to Pertev's again tomorrow, so I'll have another crack at it.

If you're interested, you can contact Loraine on 0533 832 6369, and Pertev on either 0392 815 3430 or 0533 863 5818.

Pertev's 'HosPETal' is down the first road past HSBC in Girne, on the opposite side - İşil Sokak.

Hi again,

Well, here's my second (&third) attempts: -

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2458/3680496645_6cc4432bfa_o.jpg

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3558/3680496647_4c8a27b2f0_o.jpg

Still not brilliant, I'm afraid - good job that I don't do it for a living!

Incidentally, if you have lost or found an animal, or are looking to rehome one, then

a) Post a link to a picture of it on here. OR

b) If you don't know how to do that, email a picture to me at keithcaley@yahoo.com. OR

c) If you don't know how to do that give me a ring on 0533 830 1835.

- and if you dont have a 'phone, send a carrier pigeon...

Keith.

p.s. While I was at Pertev's today, he showed me a smashing young dog that needs a home, I've started a fresh thread for it... http://www.cyprus44.com/forums/18218.asp

Well done for taking the pictures, they look fine to me. I hope the kittens are rehoused soon to good families.

At last!

I managed to take a picture that's got 'em all in, and is actually in focus: -

Only my 4th attempt, like...

I wonder what they're doing with the Kenwood Chef box... maybe they're planning to whip up a little treat - a mousse, perhaps?

Result!!!!

They've got a new home...

Pertev tells me that a lovely couple have taken all three kittens...

I wish them well for the future,

Keith.

I want to thank everyone for helping me to find new homes for these kittens. Although i am still looking after them they will go to the new owners in a weeks time as they are unable to take them on just yet. This has been a great result.

Again many thanks.

Well done esmie,

If it wasn't for you making the effort to take them to Pertev, it would never have happened.

Sorry if I gave the impression that your contribution had ended, I meant to say "Pertev tells me that a lovely couple have agreed to take all three kittens..."

Best regards,

Keith.
