There is a new Gabriels Girl!!! Picture is added on post nr6 and much more on post 15!!!

Woohoo, I am sooooo happy!!!
We've adopted a new cat!
Kiki is 1,5 years old!
Karen added her picture on post nr. 6 !!
She is such a beautyful cat!!
The shelter where she was, told us that she was held in a small room, together with a male cat
Both were not steralised, so one day she got kittens...:mad:.; the human killed the poor kittens, said that she didn't want Kiki anylonger, because she was a very bad cat...!
She is an elderly, age 82.
She never took care of the cats; she brought food and water, but that's it...! She never spent any time with her cats...:mad: So they were not socialised at all....
From now on, she is't allowed to keep anymore pets ! GOOD !!!
They even didn't have a name...:mad:

Kiki is now hiding, but I am sure she will turn into a very sweet lady:love:
She is so beautiful, I already love her so so much!`

Snoopy isn't very happy now. Kiki walken towards Snoopy, and the Snoopy started gissing and growling!
Sorry sweet Snoopy, from now one we have 2 Gabriels Girls again!!:love::love:

Dear Lut and Bernard and Snoopy, CONGRATULATIONS on your new family member!!!

And dear Kiki, WELCOME to your wonderful new home!!!

And THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU ALL AND THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE SHELTER, for saving Kiki and her boy kitty pal from that awful alleged-home and alleged-owner!!!

I'm so glad to know that that alleged-human is not allowed to keep any more pets. (Will that be enforced?)

THANK YOU, LUT AND BERNARD AND SNOOPY AND KIKI, FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL FAMILY!!!

Excellent! :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

Here she is! Welcome to Pet Talk, little Kiki!

We found a new name for her!
From now one, she is ZIGGY !!!

Ps. we changed it because it sounds exactly like the Dutch word for "chicken"; well, especially in our local dialect chicken
is called "kieken or kiki" :p;)

Ziggy spent her first night in our veranda, where she had a cat-bed, a scratch tower, a "toilet", some toys, ....; She slept in the basket!
She still is such a scaredy cat.... poor Ziggy... . This morning she is squealing a lot... ! She doesn't feel at home yet, and is scared of anything that moves, and everything else..... . I think we will have to be very patient with her, and give her all the time she needs now.
Snoopy is nòt happy with her new sister! She is in the patio (cat-proef!), and doesn't want to come inside... .I think she is mad at us now...! But we all know the magic of cat-food hey;):)

Since I cannot add pictures here, I will add them to "Pet Talkers" on Facebook :)

Aww, fun! And if you'd like, I can add pictures here when you post them on Facebook!

Lovely Miss Ziggy, you've had quite the upheaval in your young life. I'm sure, in a short period of time you will learn that you are safe, loved and wanted in your new home. Have a wonderful life sweetheart, it only gets better from here.

Snoopy, still love you sweetie pie! Give your new sister a chance, you might just fall in love with her.

Oh yes, please, I would be sooo happy with that :love:!!

Dearest Ziggy, you are beautiful! What a sweet, precious little kitty you are!

And you are now SAFE and LOVED in your wonderful new home! We are sending you gentle pets and Purrrrs of encouragement as you slowly get used to your new home and new life.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love: from Pat and Sparkler

Welcome to Pet Talk, Miss Ziggy!

Welcome to Pet Talk, precious Ziggy!

Ziggy is the best name for this cat. Reminds me of David Bowie who was unique as well and had a quirky eye too.

New pictures from Lut!

And more ...

And the last few - Snoopy and Ziggy, I will let Lut describe the photos for you all!

She's absolutely GORGEOUS! Ziggy, you are adorable!

Welcome to your wonderful new home and new family and new life! I'm sure you and Snoopy will be best friends before you know it!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love: from Pat and Sparkler and all the Angels


P.S., Lut, did her kitty housemate, the father of her kittens, get rescued, too? I hope he is also safe and well cared for and loved now.

She's just so adorable! Welcome, Ziggy kitty!

Oh yes, he found a new for-ever-family too!
They didn't let them go together, because Ziggy was so scared of him!
That's because their history together was so negative....

:):love:

Ziggy has now accepted her new house completely, and she isn't scared of Snoopy anymore too!:love:
Son no more gissing, no morse growling :love:

But ...she is still so scared of being touched in every way...:(:(
We wonder if she ever will let us pet her.....:(
We hope she won't need a vet in the near future, because it is impossible to pick her up and put her in a carrier....!

How is Miss Ziggy doing, Lut? Is she getting less scared about possibly being touched? I hope so! She is a very beautiful kitty!

Ziggy, you're doing great!

And your new Mom and Dad love you very much. You will never be hurt or mistreated or abandoned again!

:love::love::love::love::love:

Ziggy is fully adapted here, and she is so curious when a door opens to a corridor or room she isn't supposed to go to... :D
She is almost constantly playing with her mice, tent, tunnel, :)
She also tries to be accepted by Snoopy, but Snoopy isn't happy with this; all Snoopy wants is napping napping napping (have I already told she loves napping?), and some yummy food and water and of course plenty of catbeds to choose from. But playing with "that nervous little brat", no no not our Snoopy...;)

Ziggy comes really close to us now, sometimes she takes some food from between our fingers; mostly though she touches our hand with a foot, which means ":ok, drop the food on the ground please!"
BUT pet her, or touching her is absolutely not done..... :(
I really hope so much that in the future she will allow us to pet her, give her kisses, and that she will jump on our lap, one fine day......:love:

Have you tried using a comb or brush on Ziggy? I see she is short haired, as is my cat Bella. Bella loves it when I scratch with a comb on her neck and chin. What would Ziggy think of that?

I am glad she is playing, coming closer, and touching your hands! I hope that in the future she will be open to kisses, petting and enjoying your laps :love: Fingers crossed!

How can we brush if she runs away as soon as we come closely?? I wish it was that easy, but it will take a long long time before she will us allow to do that!!
We should take her to a DA because her left eye is wet all the time; but it just isn't possible yet, we may not even touch her head, so picking her up and put her in a cat-carrier is so so impossible....:(

What a great progress report!

You ROCK, Ziggy! You're doing so very well. And some day, very soon, I hope, you will realize and trust that your dear Mom and Dad love you very much and will never hurt you.

You are sooo right Pat, we love this girl to-the-moon-and-back!!
She is such a sweet cat, we both love her dearly...!
We know we will have to wait long before she won't be scared to be touched anymore; but we don't mind waiting, she is worth it :love::love::love:

Bless you, Lut and Bernard, and bless you, darling Ziggy, too! You are so worth it, indeed!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

I am thinking of Snoopy and Ziggy today :love: and hope they're doing well!

Our newbie Ziggy is the sweetest cat ever...! She loves it here very much, always come to stay wherever we are, is very talkative, almost never stops playing with a mouse, and.....is always ready for food :p:)!
She really tries to "talk" to us: when we talk to her, she always responds with a high "eeee eeee"! No no, it is not meowing nor "etalking" to the birds in the garden, it is real talking! Few minutes ago, I took my laptop and said to her in the catbed on the floor where I am, and there she did it again: "eee eeee" ! She also gives us that "eeee eeee" whenever she wants us to play with her rod with ribbons!!
Another funny think about her: she is always very interested in what we eat! She looks at both of us, she taps the edge of the table with one paw, which means "okay you can give me a bit of that yummy food". But as she is so scared to be touched, she does NOT take that piece from between our fingers, but again she taps very soft on our hand , meaning "okay you can drop it to the floor now! Silly Ziggy :love:
We love her to the moon and back...:love::love:

But.... she still doesn't want us to pet her....! There is progress now! She has seen how Snoopy always goes resting on a cushion on the sofa where Bernard lays while watching tv
And yesterday.... she jumped on the couch too, and got on Snoopy's cushion, while watching him Bernard very good to be sure he didn't try to touch here....! Good hey!!!
But.. guess who was absolutely NOT happy with this: Snoops!!!;)
We hope that one day she will let her pick up because we should take her to the vet to change the message on her chip, and to get her shots!! She has one eye who is often very wet, so we would like to have the vet a look at that...

Thank you so much for the update, Lut! That's wonderful news, great progress!

And whether she decides to let you touch her or not, you know and she knows she will never be cold or hungry or homeless again. Blessings to you all!

Happy Halloween (do people celebrate that in Belgium?), and all our love to you!
