Newbie introduction.

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to indroduce myself to you all.

My name's Rebecca and I am THE crazy cat lady, according to my partner.

I am the cat re-homing officer with my local RSPCA and I also foster cats for them.

I currently have 10 cats in my house!!! Although only 3 of them are my own.

Introuducing them:

Olle- My first ever cat! He is a grey and white male aged 3 years and the grumpiest cat I have ever know although also very loving - on HIS terms!

Casper- My second cat. A black and white 10 month old male. He is very playfull and kitten like and keeps me amused.

Lola- Is a pure grey long haired female aged 15 months. She came to me 5 weeks ago along with her 6 kittens as a foster cat and I soon fell in love with her affectionate personality. She is more like a child than a cat and is sooo lovable.

Meg- Is an 18 year old black female. She is currently being fostered by myself after being brought into RSPCA care. Unfortunately she is not very well and does not have long left so if staying with me until the time comes.

Purdy, Bo, Harley, Lola jnr, Lil and Lestat- Lola's 6 kittens as mentioned above. They are currently 6 weeks old and tearing the house to pieces! Thankfully they all have lovely new homes to go to and are here only until they are old enough.

So that's my very busy cat centered household!

I am sure I will get to know you all soon and you'll proberly be seeing me a lot on here!

hi, Welcome to Catsey. I am the Welfare and Fostering Officer for my local CP. Would be interested to learn more about how the RSPCA works. I gather the branches are run differently to the large rescue centres?
Would love to see some photos of your cats & kittens.

Thank you Mags, I will get some pics of my bunch on in the morning!

Smudgley- Our branch of the RSPCA works very similar to Cats Protection and we all work together. In fact I currently have two cats under the care of Cats Protection in one of my foster homes as their cattery is full.

The main difference between our branch and the main branches is that we don't use a cattery. All cats in our care are placed in foster homes with volunteers who agree to care for the cat until it is re-homed. Not only does it save us a lot of boarding fee's but it's much better for the cats as they are well socialised.

We are an independant branch which means we have no goverment funds but we manage on the kind support of our volunteers and the donations from the local community.

What branch of Cats Protection do you work at?
