Tia & Tin Tin
Tia and Tin Tin were being 'feecycled' through the Breckland Freecycle Group, an online network set up to keep "useful items out of landfill". The group allows the passing of pets from home to home to home, unchecked and like worthless inanimate objects.
Thank heavens we responded and collected them immediately. The pair were riddled with fleas and Tia, only a youngster herself, was pregnant. She abandoned her kittens at birth, having produced no milk.
The pair deserve the gorgeous home and loving home they found...
"Hello
Just to let you know, Tin Tin and Tia are settling in well. Tin Tin must have been so frightened he badly messed himself on the way home.
Scared to move an inch, he'd just sat in it all the way home and so when we got him out was very messy. We rinsed down his underside, back legs and tail and dried him as best we could.
It was a shame as I wanted them to come to our home all calm and relaxed and yet he must have wondered where the heck he'd been taken at first. We had to do it as he was wouldn't stop licking himself. He must be so clean as he was just not happy or used to being dirty.
Tia on the other hand, (luckily she hadn't stepped in anything), was a proper madam and acted as if she'd never lived anywhere else.
An hour later and both were on my lap purring in the sun lounge - see the photo. They had some dinner, used the litter tray and though Tin Tin was still very nervous or sudden movement and noises, he relaxed a bit.
This morning when we came down, he again was quite cautious of us, we haven't let them have the run of upstairs yet, but he's getting braver and braver, exploring the place.
They really are going to be lovely lap cats. You only have to tap the chair or your leg and they jump up for fussing. Which, although we couldn't be sure, is just as we were hoping they'd be.
Will keep you informed."
