At Lothian Cat Rescue in 2008 247 mother cats and kittens were cared for by fosterers.
Below are some of our success stories!
Dawn adopted these two kittens in October, now called Murphy and Tipsy. "They have been a great addition to our family and even our old cat likes them some of the time. They are happy, confident and sociable. Hopefully, we will have many years of fun with them. Thank you Lothian Cat Rescue."
Thanks very much for letting us adopt our two kittens -Casper and Patch (previously 2* trouble). As can be seen from the attached photo they are both doing very well in their new home.
'A' & her husband took a wee ginger and white kitten about March time last year. "He was 6 weeks old when we rescued him from his foster family and was the runt of the litter. He is approximately 9 months now and is most certainly adorable and totally cheeky. We have named him Charlie. As you can see from the photos he has growing into a big beautiful boy. He is a very affectionate boy and whilst he torments our older cat, Mitzi, she is finally getting used to him chasing her around the house!!"
"I am Tabatha and have settled into my new home. I am not allowed to go out yet as I do not get my op. until 28th. Dec. However I am just looking out of the window at the snow and glad I am not out. I have had my 2 injections and was told I was brave. As you can see my big sister Twinkle and I get on well and I cuddle up to her. Thanks for looking after me & giving me to such a good home. Tabatha x"
'E' & 'L'adopted two kittens from LCR. "Archie and Lexie settled from the moment we brought them home. Archie is very boisterous but loves to be cuddled and given all the attention! His party trick is to jump and hang on our legs with his claws when carrying the food bowls at dinner time! Lexie is so cute and gentle but does have her moments like climbing up the curtains or scratching the sofa! They are both adorable and we couldn't imagine life without them. A huge thank you to everyone at Lothian Cat Rescue!"
'K' & 'K' adopted 2 kittens, now called Ollie and Rosie, on the 17th Oct. "They have settled in very well. We were made aware that Rosie (champagne ginger?!) was a very timid kitten and when we first got her home she just wanted to hide behind furniture and hiss at us but with lots of gentle care and attention she is gaining in confidence all the time. Ollie (tabby and white) is very bold and very friendly. They love to chase each other round the house and also to lie in front of the fire."
If you think you can offer a good home to a kitten or maybe a pair of kittens, please contact the Shelter on 01875 821025 and the wardens there will be able to advise you..
Matthew & Suzy adopted 'Charlie' (Black and white), and 'Ollie' (Black). "They have settled in extremely well and very quickly! They had decided on their favourite spot to sleep within half an hour of arriving at their new home! They both have such lovely natures - Charlie loves nothing more than playing with his toy mice, and carries them around everywhere, whereas Ollie loves climbing into boxes and bags, chewing the occasional straw and cuddling up! They both love going down to their Gran and Grandads where they get spoilt rotten, watch the birds outside and torment the family cat! They are both the most affectionate kittens who love nothing more than cuddling up on our laps or into our shoulders, and especially having their tummies rubbed! Thank you all again for the joy you have given us in completing our unique little family."
'S' recently adopted one of our kittens, Ollie. "He's settled in very well and has made friends with our other cat Wallace who treats him like a little brother. One of his favoutite games is playing with the dripping tap in our ensuite bathroom room,then falling asleep curled up in the sink. We're all absolutely delighted with him and would totally recommend adopting from LCR!"
'P' was lucky enough to get a wee kitty from LCR last Tuesday (2nd Nov). "I've finally got around to sending you a pic. We eventually all agreed on a name ... DOMINO!"
'J' & 'S' recently adopted two kittens known as 'Levi' and 'Charlie'. "They are now called 'Maxx' and 'Monty' and are doing really well together. Monty is the boss but there has never been any major fight. They are eating us out of house and home and are going to be BIG cats. The boys love Christmas decorations and spend a lot of time under the tree with the baubbles and lights. Our four grandchildren are becoming good friends but they are still reluctant to sit on a knee for any length of time."
On 31 October - Hallowe'en - Charlie and CC went to live with 'J' and 'P' in Linlithgow. "Charlie, a torty/tabby, has been renamed Pumpkin because the colour of her eyes and the orange/gold patches on her fur are pumpkin coloured. CC has become SiSi and has proved to be the diva of the pair! Pumpkin is more careful and waits to see. Yesterday, the girls went to the vet and were vaccinated and chipped. They did not enjoy it. Sisi recovered and went round the surgery to see what there might be to chase, Pumpkin went back into the cat box, having drawn blood in an attempt to escape. They are both desperate to try the great outdoors but it is too early yet. Nor have they met the grandchildren ... now that will be a test of nerves for all concerned! They have settled in well and seem quite happy to be with us, as you can see from the picture above."
