All my animals have been rescues too. Jimmy fat cat was left outside, not allowed indoor, son rescued him. He lives a life of luxury here with Mad dog Madoc from the rspca - he was a road traffic accident, taken to a vet who did'nt do a very good job on his leg and rehomed, they then moved to a flat and we took him from Newport - he limps quite abit on a hind leg. He's been to specialist vets and is regularily checked at ours, in fact he's been there today. He sprawled out now on the sofa - l had to squeeze inbetween him and cat - later he'll be in bed with me until oh calls him down.
Bounce was another cat we had - we found him in the garden, he had 3 legs and the stump was infected. His owners told us we could keep him. Vet did a lovely job and he lived to 15yrs. Lady was an English Bull terrier cross - my beautiful, beautiful Lady - she died 2004 of cancer.
Although all of mine have suffered in some way, god they have'net suffered like this poor little Star - god bless her. l still can't my head round this one.

Aw bless Kitty xxxxxxxxx

You know we should have a page for those recsued that make it through!

I dont have one Normal cat! lol

Our oldest has Chronic IBD and is on meds for life - we took her in aged approx five - us or the needle as she was dumped as too expensive to keep alive - we are her fifth and last home. Our boy as you know was bait for Alsations and our latest two one is bewtween 10 and 12 and grumpy as sin (If he was a dog I may be in trouble) ..... and the other is about 5 with only three legs!

We had a cat for four years that was a cruelty case.

At about 6 months old he was found lying on the ground by a wall................he had been used as a football.

He was blind and had no hip joint in his back leg, but we managed to give him a happy life with us until he died suddenly one evening, at home all curled up in his bed.

Little Star unfortunatly cannot come home with me - it's too noisy here with all the other animals...
She was brought in by a lady who had brought her up from the Midlands somewhere (i didn't really listen to that bit as i was so shocked!)
She came in with another cat from a different home - i believe the lady rescues cats in her spare time - my boss had known her many years.

The case is being 'reviewed' with the intention of bringing a prosicution (spelling?)

Anyway - when she's more settled i will get her pic for you all....

Thankyou all, if it wasn't for people like you i'd have no time for humans at all....!

Sorry to hear about that Lou. Our little Billy was used as bait for a pack of Alsations - we got him from emergancy fostercare - our vet told us about him (I think I sent you there web page once). He was a terrified little runt. We couldnt bring him home till his eyes changed colour as they didnt think he was even eight weeks.

At over a year now, he is now the sweetest loving animal - without any fear even though he has had to move in the pecking order since our new additions.

I cant say what I feel about people that use Kittens or any other animal for that or I would be banned from GR.

But its people like you that work to change this and you must remember the good things in your job.

Poor little cat.

Please keep us informed about her progress.

My family took in an abandoned cat many years ago when I was a teenager. We called him Kipper.
He was traumatised because a boy in his previous home used to "play" with an airgun. It took me weeks to get him to stay indoors with us but eventually he became a soppy lap cat.
His background wasn't as bad as your poor little one but I found his case hard enough to believe.

Heartbreaking to read of any animal cruelty.
They're so defenceless and put their trust in whoever cares and feeds them.

You are a special person Lou to give animals love and protection and I wish you well.
Do hope little Star recovers well and in time someone gives her a loving home.
Soft hug for her. (x)

I just cannot comprehend how 'people' can be so evil and wicked, words fail in these situations. How on earth do these sort of people come up with different ways to torture innocent animals, I really don't know. With all your care and love I pray that you get there with this little one.

God Bless

Lou, what makes you think you were waffling?

You are a good, good woman if you can be trusted to bring a little faith, love , and comfort to this tiny abused little creature.

I have only read your message so don't know much more.

Have these people been dealt with? And how?
You do realise that I am being good here... not one curse !

Oh Lou I'm sorry to hear what has happened to poor little Star. How people can be so cruel I don't know. Star's luck has now changed for the better though because she's got you to look after her.

Lou, I am weeping reading this... I have my two boys sleeping with their heads on my keyboard, and at my feet is my beautiful elderly Belle... so badly beaten and traumatized when found by my son that her jaw was broken... and more than once, some of the breaks had healed.

X Rays also showed that she'd had other bones broken in her ribs and her front leg, which were in various stages of healing. It was a long struggle, as she was petrified of women... not men.

If I had had a glass of wine and went to stroke her, she went demented, so we surmised that she had been subjected to this abuse by a wine drinking female.

But we persevered, and her spirit has been restored. She is now between 16 and 18 years old, contented and happy. She has been with us almost 13 years, and has the most beautiful nature.

Star will, with your help, have the same future to look forward to now that you are loving her.

Love
