Plans for Mootie and Pip

Mootie and Pip are presently indoor-outdoor country cats. They have been praised by their owner as being the best little mousers around. They spend their days hunting in Susan's back field and then wander inside to have a bite to eat and a snooze when the sun disappears. With that in mind, after talking to Susan about the changes in her life and how she had to find a new home for her cats, I contacted a friend, who I actually met through her blog, who I thought may be able to take them in.
Some of you might know this amazingly kind and wonderful woman, Natalie from http://knatolee.blogspot.ca/ Knatolee's World. If you haven't met her you need to get right over to her blog and have a look-see. Natalie and husband, Gordon, are big animal-lovers and have adopted many homeless cats, dogs, pigs, fowl  and soon, ponies, and given them a wonderful life on their hobby farm only an hour and a half from my home. Natalie and I discussed the needs of these two cats and how they would fit in at her farm as pampered barn cats. There are two cats who presently reside there as barn cats (Redmond and Missy) and they are fed daily, loved-up on demand and spend their time frolicking around a 4,000 sq. ft. barn that has heated areas and a big hay-loft. Natalie mentioned that their home and barn are a good distance from their road and that their cats never bother to wander near it. They also follow Natalie around as she does her chores. Susan felt that this life would suit her cats perfectly. They are still quite young and could continue to have freedom to explore and hunt and still be cared for with love and commitment from Natalie and Gordon. She was overjoyed to hear that they may be able to have the perfect cat life and stay together after-all.

Natalie plans to keep them isolated for awhile until they are used to their new home and then she will slowly introduce them to the other animals. Her cat, Missy, has just recently arrived at Natalie's and, after having some time to settle,  is now able to have freedom of the barn and she has become good friends with Redmond.

                                                This is Missy, the new barn kitty at Natalie's.
You can read all about her on Natalie's blog. Fingers crossed all will go smoothly for the two newbies. I know Natalie will keep us all posted on how they are doing. With pictures, right Natalie? :)

Could you please keep my dear old dog in your thoughts today? I am off to the vet with him as he has been stumbling since this morning and is in need of some tests.  :(
hugs, Deb

  11. Oh Deb, you make me blush. But I see you made the mistake I always calling "Redford" "Redmond", hahahaha!! But as I recall, you are the one who named my handsome Redford. :)

    I hope Mootie and Pip will be happy here! They are arriving Friday and I will take lots of photos.

    1. Oh my goodness..I did name him and I still got it wrong. I think it was close running for both names. "Sorry Redford." I worked for a Dr. Redmond years back so it's in my brain. I'm sure you will do your best for the two kitties on their way soon.

    2. Gordon and I are both ALWAYS calling him Redmond by mistake! It is getting a bit better as time goes on, though. I do love the name you picked for him. HOw many cats out there are named Redford? It suits him!

  16. Hurrah! Hurrah! Yes...an audible cry of joy made by me when I heard Mootie and Pip' s new home would be with Natalie and Gordon! What a great home the kitties! Talk about answered prayers! This wasn't just an answer but an absolutely splendid answer! Hurrah, again! Thanks to The Lord. N & G too.

  19. Sounds like one of those win-win situations! I am sure Susan is still heart-broken, but knowing that her babies will be well-cared for must be a good feeling. Yay, Knatolee!
