The pitter patter of more furry feet ...

Cath decided in her infinate wisdom, during a clucky, I clearly dont have enough to do in my life phase - to be a foster carer for two, yes two litters of orphaned kittens that needed hand rearing! They came from Nine Lives Cat Rescue who were at full capacity and desperately needed carers to bottle feed the usual Christmas influx of orphaned kittens. We ended up with 10! All were raised and rehomed, but not without giving us lots if laughs and delight before they left. Kittens are such gorgeous, funny playful little creatures! ..... But of course two of them stayed - introducing Bad Harry and Dixie Chic! That would be four cats in the house now, Darcy, Jasper, and these two! A house is not a home without a cat ... or 4!
We couldn't have asked for two more tolerant, easy going, loving cats to join our family. The girls love them and vice versa. Bad Harry has a particular close bond to Amelia. It must be a "gingers unite" thing!

 This is Bad Harry. He got very sick at around 2 weeks old and i put him in a box with a heat pad, gave him some fluids and antibiotics, expecting to find him dead in the morning. But he woke up with a new zest for life and slowly recovered. Here he is at 7 weeks old, looking very scrawny and manky! He is now a very handsome, big ginger boy.
