Carole,

You did a phenominal job!!! He'll be fine. When I had to rehome LilEli, I knew my friend's farm in upstate Michigan was the best choice. He LOVED being outside and until I moved back to CT, lived on a busy street. He's so much happier there, and I talk to Steve every once in a while.

Pat yourself on the back, don't beat yourself up. It's very normal to have mixed feelings. But I go by my gut instincts. That's what you did. You go, girl!!

Thanks Donna, your'e the best, just wanted you all to know i rang to see how Toby is doing yesterday.

I talked with Eva, ralph's partner, she seemed a lovely person, just like her hubby, i was so happy to hear Toby has settled in fine, and he likes the kids, still hides, but that is normal for a scaredy cat in new enviroment , and he is that way inclined, she said he would not eat first night, but i forgot to tell them i had given him a big feed before they came to pick him up, he is living in one of the sheds for now until he gets used to his surroundings so that he does not take off, which is just what i wanted to hear and they kept his name, just talking with her, i could tell they will be good to him, it was a huge sense of relief, i asked if i could ring again in a while, she was more than happy for me to do that, she also said when she introduced the kids to him, she made sure they made no noise, they are 2 and 5, so just the fact she was sensible and caring enough to do that showed she understands his needs right now, alot of people just have no idea, i think he will love being on the farm, once he gets used to his new place he will be in paradise.

I think i will make up a nice package of treats and goodies for Toby and send it to them next just to say thankyou for looking after him and giving him such a good home, i am sure Toby will like it anyhow.

It has made everything i have done worthwhile knowing that all three cats are now in happy homes and well loved and taken care of, Ash has been much happier since Toby left as well, the only thing is Ella his mother has been acting really weird, kinda distressed, and not wanting to stay inside much, very edgy, i don't know if she knows he is gone and is upset or what really,he was taken away for months from her before and had only been back a month or so, i did not think she would notice, may be pure coincidental,but who knows, of course having the birthday party this weekend they both freaked out and stayed out on the verandah shelter all night ,so that might have started her off, but she acted this way before that on the friday night Toby left.

So folks it does look like a happy ending after all.
