Next sorry tale - and cute kitty - meet little Mez

This is little Mez (named after her rescuer). Mez was witnessed being swept into the gutter with the leaf litter and dirt. The person sweeping just kept saying 'not mine' over and over. Little Mez was only 395g, shaking with fear and hadn't eaten for a few days. Luckily 1 week later she is playful and happy, trusting and inquisitive. Her new family will be soooo lucky to have her.

My how time flies

This is Pepe and Fanta just before Fanta went to his forever home. Pepe and I were very sad at first even though we are happy for Fanta. No rest for the wicked though, keep an eye out for our next lost soul, Mez, who was swept into the street with the dirt and leaves and rescued by a lovely passer-by... I don't know why I am still surprised by how some people treat animals.

Meet little Fanta

This is Fanta, 2 1/2 weeks old and grabbing life (and his bottle) with both paws! As usual Pepe is being an excellent big brother. Fanta is all alone so Pepe is trying to teach hime how to play with pingpong balls and giving him a warm place to snuggle as you can see. All other fur family members are being their lovely, accepting selves, lucky Fanta and lucky me!!

How gorgeous is my little boy.

Mum takes me to the dog park almost everyday - I just love it! As you can see from my biiig smile. These are my best friends MacIntyre, Oscar & Herbie (my girlfriend gypsy is camera shy - I'll get her next time).

Lost souls 4 weeks on...

Little Ray and Cloud (was Skye) have survived against all odds and no longer cry for their mumma whenever they're awake. They are still small but full of character and energy. Nearly ready to find their fur-ever homes (sniff).

Two little lost souls

These lovely little guys arrived today via 2 kind souls at the gym. They were found dumped outside a block of units. I think they are about 3weeks old. To give some perspective that is my palm in the front of the picture. The one on the left is Skye, on the right is Ray (named after their saviours!)
