Hi everyone, newbie here!!
I'm Chris and i'm from Blackpool in England.Will fill you in on my story.....
I answered an advert from a lady that said she couldn't cope with her cats anymore(she had 10!).
Anyway we took Fudge, an 8 month Tabby with gorgeous big brown eyes, who the lady told us was vaccinated,flea and worm treated and spayed.
Well when we collected her and brought her home, she was in a terrible state, VERY underweight, riddled with fleas and worms and terrified of everyone.
If you walked towards her, she fled because she thought she would get kicked,if you tried to stroke her she cowered or ran for cover,expecting to be hit.....it was terrible! After an awful lot of work to regain her trust and get her fit and healthy, she is now adored by all(i have 4 sons aged 3,6,9 and 12) and the hubby of course, and she absolutely adores us too
.
Anyway, to cut a long story short our spayed Fudge, has turned out to be not so spayed Fudge!!
Took her for her regular check up on feb 3rd, and it turns out she's expecting!! we just thought she was putting weight on still as she now eats like a horse!!
The vet was a bit reluctant to do a spay/abort as she only had about 2 weeks left so she is booked in for 5 weeks time.
So hence the reason i'm here......have been doing as much research as i can and found this fab site, where everyone seems so helpful and friendly.
I have read ALL the posts and must say i hope i dont end up with a skittles/kali saga as i'll probably have a nervous breakdown
Look forward to advice and friendship xx
(i should add Fudge is now 14 months old -not 8!!)
