Hi all,

We have had Tikka for a week now, and don't we know it !! She is an adorable and loving little girl and fitted in just perfectly- even if she does have the loudest MEOW in the world, generally executed at 5.40am :-).

Not sure if she loves or hates the goldfish but she spends a good proportion of her day "conversing" with them !!!

Thanks to you all and see you soon.
Sarah, Karl, Reece and Tikka xx

Venture Farm reply: Hello!
Glad all is going well - we are probably partly to blame for the early morning alarm call, as it's a pretty early start here!!
Will be in touch soon
Best wishes from all here.

Just a note from the other side of the fence- rehoming Stanley was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Without the patience and support of you guys there it wouldn't have been half as easy- we still
miss him tonnes and don't think I'll ever get used to not having him sleeping on my feet at night but myself and my husband were very happy to see on this guestbook that he is doing well and bringing smiles to his new owners. Thanks again for everything. Danielle
Venture Farm reply: Hello there.
We know how difficult it was for you, and we were glad we were able to help. It was good that Stanley found a home so quickly, and that he has settled well.
With best wishes from all here.

Don't suppose you remember, but we took a lanky skinny black cat off your hands in May, goes by the name of Larry.... Just thought you might like to know that he's still on the champagne and salmon diet, and now weighs 8 stone, has taken over the house, and at night we are sleeping in a tent in the garden, as he's taken over the whole bed and the snoring is just too much in the dead of night! I think he's killed all the cats in the neighbourhood, 'cos I haven't seen any in the garden for weeks!! He's also learnt how to open the kitchen cupboards in search of ANYTHING that resembles food! (in fact I'm getting a little worried, because the tin opener went missing yesterday!!!!!)
Reckon he's happy though, I know we are!!!! He's the best!!!
Venture Farm reply: Hello all!
Well - Larry certainly sounds as though he has moved on from the lad we knew! Do you have a TV in your tent?!
Thanks for the update - we are so happy he has settled in so well.
Thanks for giving him such a good home. Hope to see you sometime.
Love from us all.

Hi all,

A year on (can't believe it's been that long!) Mackie is properly settled in and thriving! While she still darts behind the sofa if a stranger comes to the door she now spends most of her time in a much bolder frame of mind, demanding the best spot on the bed/sofa/window ledge and lots of grooming!

Hope to see you again one day when Mackie Moo and her 'mum' have persuaded her 'dad' that we can take on a second FIV survivor to keep her company!

Best wishes to you all,

Liz, Rich and Mackie

Venture Farm reply: Hello all!
Glad to hear Mackie is keeping up the cat tradition of getting the best seat all the time!!
Sounds as though she is really enjoying life with you - thanks for giving her a lovely home.
Best wishes from all here.

I'm posting a second message because I realise you do not accept ouside web addresses in this guest book (I had the brilliant idea of posting photos of my lost cat on my Facebook page and giving a link). So, although I cannot provide pictures in this nice guest book, could anyone in the Tacolneston area please keep an eye out for a 13 year old big white and black cat called Ollie, who disappeared on the weekend of 11th/12th July He has a lovely 'white shirt front', and the black marking on his head comes down through his right eye area - he looks a bit pike a pirate! He is passive and friendly, and a lovely chap.
Thanks for reading this.
From: Lucy and Kim 11 Jul, 2010
Just to let you know that today is one year date since we adopted Milly (known to you as Anna). Milly is still a little nervous but steadily growing in confidence all the time. Cannot imagine life without her. Our other cat Barnaby and Milly are like brother in sister, they have good days and bad days but they seem to like each other. Thank you for the opportunity to adopt Milly. Kim and Lucy
Venture Farm reply: Thank you for the news. We are really pleased things are going well, and that Milly is gaining confidence and getting on well with Barnaby.
Thanks for your patience in allowing her time to settle in. Best wishes.

Misty & Tinker have settled down well & know their way about the house. Misty, whom I'd thought reserved, was the 1st to be friendly & sit on my lap within 3 hours of arriving & spent the afternoon with me, and sleeps on our bed. Tinker chose his own bedroom & enjoys playing ball & being brushed. But it'll be a long fortnight keeping them shut in in this weather! Tinker mews pitifully on the doormat, & Misty is very frisky at 4 a.m!
Venture Farm reply: Thank you for the update - glad all is going well. Have just heard it should be cooler with some rain tomorrow - should they should be happier being indoors! Thank you for giving them a good home. Best wishes from us all.

Hey,

I never realised you had a message board so would like to take the chance to say what a lovely place you all run. I visited your farm over easter to bring in a stray cat. She was a female tabby kitten; very friendly and loving! I think you were going to name her Lili and I was just wondering if you had managed to find her a home ok? Hope she's well!
Love Lili.

Venture Farm reply: Hi there - yes we did name her Lili! She went to live with a new family a few weeks ago, and has settled in really well - so a happy ending!
From: Amber and Andrew 12 Jun, 2010
Hello there we went to the open day and met all the cats! What a lovely place all the people there were so nice. what you all do is amazing I hope you know that!!I was wondering if Sylvie found a home she was so sweet! thank you have a lovely day!
Venture Farm reply: Thank you! Glad you enjoyed your visit. Sylvie has been booked to go to a new home, and should be off in the next few days to live with her new owner. Hope to see you again. Best wishes from us all.
From: Andrew 7 Jun, 2010
Thankyou for the wonderful open day yesterday, everyone was so friendly (and by that I include the cats!), and myself + partner had a fantastic time.
I didn't realise till I turned up that you cater for cats with FIV, and as I live in a flat then we will DEFINITELY be back when we decide how many cats we can accomodate!
Thanks again,
Andrew
Venture Farm reply: Hi there
Thanks for coming along - glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you again soon if you decide to rehome an FIV cat (or two!)
Best wishes from us all.

Just to let you know that Larry has turned out to be the most amazing little chap. He may be 10 years old, but can scamper up trees faster than lightening!!! The only drawback in having him is that I have to sleep on the edge of the bed every night,and he's costing me a fortune in smoked salmon and gently poached organic chicken, with the occasional bowl of champagne to wash it all down!! (No dried up old cat food for HIM!!) Also keeping Whiskers cat food in jelly in business!!! Still, it's worth it, just to let me rub his tummy when he's laying on his back with all four legs splayed out, purring like a good 'un is luffly.....
Venture Farm reply: Hi there Larry and his servants!!
Glad all is going well - we like a cat who appreciates the finer things in life! Thanks for the update.
From: Emma 2 Jun, 2010
Dear All,

Venture Farm reply: Hi there
Good to know all is going well - can't believe you adopted her in October - where has all that time gone!
Best wishes from us all.

Hello,

Thought I'd let you know how I'm getting on with my new humans.
They don't seem to bright, I clearly point out that my plate is empty (it only seems to be filled for a few seconds) but they just don't understand! Other than that I'm having a nice time, the beds are cozy and there are lots of mice to bring in and chase down the landing at 3am until I have everyones attention, then I go back to bed.

I hope all my friends have found nice homes too but I'm sure they are happy with Venture Farm luxury if not.

Deano

Venture Farm reply: Hello Deano - nice to hear from you! Sounds like you need to get those humans trained a bit more. P.s - 3am is NOT a good time for mice! Best wishes from everyone here.
From: Karen, Kim and Eve 7 Mar, 2010
hello!
Just thought you'd like to know that we have just let out Max and Monica. They are chasing each other around the garden and rolling in the sun. Very happy it all went well-they'll be coming in soon for a well deserved lunch.

Hope all is well at the rescue center,
Kim, Karen and Eve

Venture Farm reply: Hi there
What a lovely day to be exploring outside - glad it all went well!
Best wishes from us all.

hi every-one just to let you know i love my home now, the mrs do tell me she is taking me back but after 21/2 yrs i don't think she will. i don't bite her feet so much but i do still chase her ankles down the hall, i do like a tickle now & again and get on the masters lap for a little cuddle. they say i am a tyke but lovely. They feed me well & know what i like, i think i will stay here now.
thankyou all for taking me in when i needed it, i love you all but i won't be seeing you again.
love poppit x
Venture Farm reply: Hi Poppit!
You really must stop this ankle chasing!! We are all pleased you like your new home - it sounds as though you are loved very much.
Love from us all x

Hi, just a message to let you know Sid has settled in very well into his new home.
He is such a lovely affectionate boy and loves laying on us at any opportunity and sleeps on the bed at night to be close to us!
He is also best friends with our daughter Annabelle, they love each other and follow each other around the house,he is very relaxed around her, and who knows Sid may well be her first word!!
Thanks for such a lovely cat, he has settled in so well as part of the family and we are very pleased we chose him!
Venture Farm reply: Hi there
It is great news that Sid has settled so well, and has found a new best friend in Annabelle!
He is such a nice natured cat, and deserves the lovely new home you have given him. Thank you!
From: Tina 17 Feb, 2010
Hello you lovely people at Venture Farm,
Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity of adopting Mollie and Millie, our lovely big fluffy tabby and white girls. Just thought we'd let you know how they are both doing after we adopted them last November (2009). Mollie has turned into a lap cat, and Millie has 'chosen' my son's high sleeper bed as her secret hideaway! We also have 2 new kittens who're 3 and a half months old, called Roxie and Phoebe, and they all get on fine. Roxie follows Mollie around everywhere and loves trying to play with her big fluffy tail, to the point of annoying her sometimes!! All 4 cats are super playful and enjoy all the toys we've bought them. Millie particularly likes her own bed (and soon gets Phoebe out of it, if she dares to curl up there!). Thank you so much, it's lovely to have cats in the house again after we lost our 18 & 19 year olds, Thomas and Clarabel. Love Tina, Robert, Melissa and Oliver xx
Venture Farm reply: Thank you so much for the update! It is good to hear your new family have all settled in well together. I bet you have cat toys everywhere!
We are all pleased Millie and Mollie have found a new family to enjoy life with.
From: Karen, Kim and Eve 15 Feb, 2010
Hello! Monica and Max are settling in very well-at the moment Monica is patting the computer screen as I write!

Max has currently 'collapsed' on the sofa. They are both always up for a cuddle now and are becoming very tame-we can pick monica up and they've both had many cuddles on both beds and laps!!

Thank you very much for these two gems and you should all be proud of what amazing oppourtunities you give to all these cats.

Thanks again,

Eve

(Ps Photos to follow! And Monica is helping me type this!!)

Venture Farm reply: Thanks for your message.
It was good to see you all last week - and amazing how at home Max and Monica seemed!
They have certainly fallen on their feet finding such a good new home - thankyou!
