Just two mumma hens taking their babies for a walk๐ป๐ฃ
Weโve received the best news! ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป
โ*** OMG *** CHICKPEA is Home ***
After 10 days and nights she was spotted by the wonderful Neil in our village just less than a mile from our houseโฆ He recognised her from the poster.
This has been a disheartening, heartbreaking and rollercoaster time - I have to admit that I lost my conviction and belief that we would find her alive many timesโฆ.
but it was the amazing community around us and beyond via FB that has kept us hopeful and reminded us continually to not give upโฆ The messages of support really did keep us going!
You put up with me calling early in the mornings and late at night.
I flooded the streets and your letter boxes with posters.
Your shares, support and encouragement were all so appreciated!
I now know what it is like to spontaneously cry tears of joy - Thank you to each and everyone of you!
She is unharmed, slimmer, lost her collar, wonโt stop meowing (thereโs a lot of adventures to tell me about) and wanting to eat for England (though Iโm pacing her)โฆโ
โผ๏ธPlease do scroll back a little to our post of beautiful Eric who sadly, is still missing. His little white patch on chest and slit on one ear makes him easier to distinguish. Thank you ๐โผ๏ธ
The little chirping chicks! ๐ฃโฃ๏ธ
They still havenโt come outside as of yet, the two hens in the video both think that they are the mum so these lucky babies have two mother hens to care for them ๐ป ๐พ
We sometimes get asked why we donโt allow humans inside our cattery and this video partly shows just one of the reasons ๐ธ Owners often walk along the outside looking to greet our guests then ask if we are empty as no one or very few cats can be seen outside. It can take us a large amount of time, love & patience to gain the trust of our furry guests, especially the naturally nervous and first time stays. Many guests will stay in their inside rooms when customers are coming and going as they donโt like new faces and people they donโt know can be scary but this video is very standard of what we see when we are closed to humans and itโs only us around ๐ป So the inside is their safe space and they can choose to venture out to say hello to humans if they so wish, resulting in happy, relaxed babies, settled in each and every room knowing they are safe โฃ๏ธ
Mr Mole came to say hello! ๐ป๐พ
