Hello everyone 
I've been looking for a good cat forum for a while and found this! Not sure WHY it took me so long to sign up though as I read the magazine every month!!! 
I'm Gill, married to fellow cat-lover Neil and we live in rural Northumberland. We are owned by two young cats - 1 year old Chilli and 4 month old Lily
They have been with us eight weeks and seven weeks respectively and brought so much laughter to our home after our previous boy George went to Rainbow Bridge in early October 
For the past 4 years we have been doing long-term fostering for old and terminally ill cats for a local charity....basically just running an Old Cat's Home
The cats would come to us and be spoilt rotten until it was time for them to go to Rainbow Bridge. We've taken on 10 over the past four years, some staying just weeks until their illness became too much and others, like wonderful Grumpy Old Tortie Misty, were with us 14 wonderful months. Our last two, George & Suzi, had Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) and were with us 9 months and 13 months before the virus reared it's ugly head and we had to let them go to the Bridge
We are now taking a break from the fostering as we both feel emotionally wrung out (especially after losing George & Suzi to a preventable disease!!!
) and we HAD planned to wait until summer 2014 before even thinking about having another cat......but the house was too quiet so I put a few feelers out and heard about Chilli needing a home and she came home in mid-October She was followed a week later by Lily.....or Hurricane Lill as we call her 
I'm sure in the coming weeks I'll tell you all more about our foster babies and current sweethearts.....off to explore the rest of the site now xxx
