hi all - sorry I have been a bit silent, lately - my family has been keeping me busy!!! ;-)
so, progress: HO is now convinced...ish. He still insists that we should only take her if we do not find an acceptable home for her here - to which I wholeheartedly agree, however we do differ on the definition of acceptable.
Lilly can travel with the following:
Chip
Passport
Rabies vaccine done 3 weeks before she has to travel. Rabies can only be done officially when kitties are 3 months old.
We went to the vet, she seems to be 2 months old, so obviously can't get her rabies shot yet. HOOOOWEVER the vet was happy to declare her 2 AND A HALF months old so we wouldn't have to wait so long.
She didn't like getting chipped - granted the needle looked as big as her - and vaccinated against all those other nasties but she was good as gold.
She now is the proud owner of a passport.
NEXT STEPS:
Mum will make an honest(ly half-hearted - I hope) effort to find her a new home here in France - I will have a right to decline if it seems off to me -methink a lot of people will get declined.
in 2 weeks Lilly can get her rabies shot - Mum will cater to that.
in 4 weeks she can get her second baby-vaccination - Mum will cater to that
in 5 weeks I'll get a pet carrier to take her from Mum's (if Mum hasn't found a home here in France for her) and take her to us in the UK.
Where she will have to submit to the last test - the Neeviemetre. If she pass, she will not be eaten with a chicken sauce. If she doesn't... welllllllll..... we'll see.
If it doesn't work out, I'll be gutted - I have really grown attached to the little flee (she is like a flee, always jumping everywhere and fast like a flee, I think her name will be Lillypuss, puce meaning flee in french and pronounced puss - ain't it cute?...)
to be continued
I'll try to post a few more pics of the Puce tonight.
