Arrival Story:
I was a fosterer for Keighley Cats Protection (no longer in existence) when I had a phone call to say a mother cat and her two kittens were living wild in some allotments. A friend and I went along armed with a trap and some sardines and after about 2 hours the mother cat went into the trap. The kittens went to investigate and we managed to catch then one at a time by throwing a blanket over them. The family then came into my cat pen. They were all suffering from cat 'flu and Alfie was very poorly and not expected to survive. They all responded well to treatment (Alfie needing a further course of antibiotics) but it took six months before they stopped hissing and spitting! Their mum (now called Freya) went to a very loving home and I decided to keep Alfie and his tabby brother Albie. When Alfie was a kitten he never washed himself but was constantly washed by Albie. They still sleep together and are devoted to each other. Alfie is very affectionate and loves to be picked up and cuddled and will give kisses when asked! Albie is more reserved and loves to be petted but only when he requests it. They are much loved members of my family.

Bio:
Sadly, Albie went to the Bridge on 03 November 2008 and Alfie was devastated. He misses him so much still (April 2009) and seems to have lost some of his spark since his much-loved sibling died. He now sleeps with me and will not sleep in the lounge any more where he always slept with his brother.

Thankyou for tagging me Ra! Here goes:-

1. Do you have a valentine?
I'm not sure. I did have a girlfriend Lego but she never replied to my pawmail or said she'd received the last card I sent her. I do hope she's keeping well.

2. If not, do you wish you did? Is there anyone particular? Or would you rather be single? Why?
I'm not interested in girls any more - only as good friends!

3. What's your favorite love song? Who sings it?
I like "Always on my mind" by Elvis Presley.

4. What would be a perfect Valentines Day for you?
Lots more cuddles from Mum and tuna for supper. mmmm

A Christmas Wreath for my much-loved brofur Albie and all- our dear Angels.

Mum has put a beautiful Christmas wreath on our cat cabin (Pippa's house - her lasting legacy to us).

I still miss my Albie and our cuddles together.

The Christmas wreath is in Loving Memory of Albie and our other angels Poppet, Vivaldi, Annie, Pippa and Trixie.

They will never be forgotten.

Love & purrs for them All.
Alfie


Mum wants to set something straight!!!

We all just love being on Catster and get loads of fun and pleasure from it and have some fantastic friends here.

I don't know if any other 'big' families have come across the same prejudice for having 'too many cats'! Mum would just like to point out that she is not a hoarder (having 13 cats!). We are all very well cared for, loved a lot, given the best food and toys and all have regular vet checks.

Mum adopted the majority of us when our local Rescue Centre closed down. We had been with Mum for many years as foster cats and nobody wanted us because we were either not too friendly (ex feral) or had ongoing medical problems. When we were all rescued we went into the Rescue Cat Pens in Mum's garden and when we were all tested and fully vaccinated, de-flead and wormed etc. etc. we went into Mum's house to make way for more rescue kitties in the Cat Pens. In a way this was a good idea, and another not, 'cos when anyone came to see us we would hide in corners and under beds etc. and the majority of people didn't want us because we were not friendly enough and they wanted either lap cats or kittens. Mum did, however, over the years home a vast number of cats and kittens from our house.

When the Cat Rescue closed down Mum had the option of sending us to a Shelter for re-homing or adopting us herself. She knew that if we went to the Shelter we would be absolutely terrified and would be overlooked for adoption or those with medical conditions would regress and that eventually we would be euthanased.

Since Mum adopted all my brofurs and sisfurs, my sweet sisfurs Annie and Pippa have died of old-age and my beloved brofurs Albie, Poppet and Vivaldi of cancer but they all had at least 6 years in a loving home, some much longer.

Could you have let cats be euthanased that you had loved for 4 years and longer?? I know my Mum couldn't!!

Love & purrs
Alfie
