Our Story:
We are Carissa, Iwan & Frankie the sausage dog, and in 2020 decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month we were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call home. We picked up Albi, Joao and Simao the cats along the way, as well as Diogo the podengo and a flock of chickens.
Subscribe to follow our project as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.
“Tinta” (ink) cute name for a little kitty.
This sounds beautiful!!
Perfect name
Love this name!
Awww the kitten is adorable, so good of you guys for rescuing her and giving her a loving home
Hi, Carissa and Iwan. Welcome to Larry… cat #4. Uncle Nick is a good man. It’s lovely that you have him to help you. See you next week❤️❤️
Hi guys a Portuguese name for the kitten could be CATarina she soo tiny and cute 🥰 floor looks amazing can’t wait to see the next step have a great week 🇨🇦🇵🇹
Thanks for the huge shout out ❤
Thank you for always being on hand to all the adventurers in central Portugal x
Absolutely deserved!
I hope many people subscribe to your channel as a result
We all need an "uncle Nick" in our lives. God bless you 😊
God bless Uncle Nick 🤗
I know you are thankful for Uncle Nick .He is a wealth of k owledge that he freely shares with you
It looks like the kitten is feeling quite at home, now the fun and games begin.😂❤
I loved that shot of Albi towards the end, sleeping on her back with the little rabbit feet in the air. I adopted 2 cats from the animal shelter 2 weeks ago, and the little boy always sleeps in crazy positions like that and also has adorable rabbit feet 🤣
Beautiful new addition to your family, the little miss. I suggested Mimi or Mia because of the Mimosa, but I'll say it again 😂 may she feel welcome and loved and grows up nice and healthy.
Big thanks to Uncle Nick for being the wonderful human, skilled builder and good friend that he is 🙌🏻💪🏻
Blessings to all 💓
Sortuda because the kitty is lucky. Surpresa because it surely was a surprise. Perdida for lost. Another great video…
I love that you take care of a lost kitten❤❤❤
Sounds to me… like it’s a found kitten!!😂
Goodness, your new baby is gorgeous. She is almost the exact colour of our girl Zelda. I can’t attach a pic to show you.. Vote Zelda for her name❤️❤️🐈⬛
Having Uncle Nick and his vast building knowledge is a boon to so many British expats in Portugal. You are so lucky.
Commiserations to Iwan for oral surgery.. not nice, but the results are usually worth the initial pain.
Take care .. sending love to you both❤️❤️
Vote Zelda🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Nick is the MAN 😄
Wow that banded centipede moves fast, a lot faster than the centipedes in England. You are going to be known as the rescue centre for animals bless you two again for taking in another little soul x
Beautiful vid, so glad to see Nick who is just a fine gentleman with a wealth of knowledge. I Always watch both channels as I see you both support each other. Lovely kitten, don’t call her Larry, lol. Have a good week, marvellous deck. 😊
The deck came out soo good-and yes! Always look forward to watching Uncle Nick’s channel as well 😊 I see some great names posted for that little cutie…mew
I couldn’t help but laugh at Frankie’s face in the beginning shot! I felt like his mind was saying, “Please, not another one!”
Kitty is so lucky they found a good family! Looks like a calico. Sometimes these are male, but often they are female. keep an eye on that as they can get preggy at only a few months old. I'm not aware if your boys are neutered. lol. Vet can call it for you. ;-)
Another good vide. You want to be careful because all the stray cats around will find out about your place and make it home-lol. You both are wonderful to take this beautiful kitten into your lives.
You have a tortoise shell kitten. Torties (more black with orange bits), and Calicos like Albi almost is (bc she's missing any black color), are almost always female.
(Tip to her new human guardians: my former feral weaned her 1st and only kittens just before she herself turned a year old!)
Simeow seems enchanted with his new little friend. Good job, Dioggo! Hi, Frankie and João.
Very interesting!!
Kittens are so adorable!
“Empoeirada” or Emmi for short means dusty. Very cute kitten.
I think Larry is a perfect name for your new kitten 😺
Question ……
Have you ever considered bee hives 🐝🧑🌾
What a beautiful video guys! and that Kitty and that meow! So cute! I vote for Lela! :)
So sweet you adopted her! I like menina (girl) o nina for short. Or feliz as she seems very happy.
"Berlin" kitty is marble color...children's marble in portuguese is berlindes. Always finish my Fridays watching Nick and start my Saturdays watching Frankie!
Kitten maybe Bonita
I like that 😉👍
You should call her liquorice. ❤
Lovely music and cute kitty....
Fava would be a great name for the kitten , as it is a little bean 💚 thanks for the lovely vlog , see you in the nextone
Lua is one of the popular names for female cats in Brazil. Translating Lua from Portuguese to English Moon, most female names in Portuguese end with the letter "A" and male names with the letter "O", which is why Lua is used for the feminine gender. All this just because I like the name Lua lol, but I'm sure you'll choose a beautiful name for her.
For the newest cat.
Portuguese for cinder❤
Cinza:
ash, ashes, cinder, scobs
Awesome going you guys, your deck looks awesome 👌 Welcome to the family baby kitty,
🐈⬛LARRY🐈⬛ may your life be blessed always! 🙏🏻
Clever 💙DIOGGO💙 for finding you.
Teamwork makes the dream work! Nick is awesome!
If it's possible, don't feed the kitten with cows milk, it really is not good for cats. Goat milk is okay I believe...might need to Google the info. (I miss having cats...I'm in an aged care facility in Tasmania, Australia, so no pets. ) Love your channel.
Cows milk is TOXIC, it ruins their whole digestive system. Just give it kittens pate’watered down a little bit. Later you could water down kittens dried food mace into a thin paste. You definitely need some dried milk for Kittens. I’mmsure your patrons would help. I am already looking after 3 kittens that were dumped into my daughters garden this time last year in order to keep them I deprive myself of many things as I’m an 80yr old living on a miserable pension. Up until last year we had managed to find good homes for all the kittens that we have found over the past six years but not my little family 2boys and a girl. All are sterilised and that was expensive too although my vet did charge me less than normal knowing all of the story. Good luck to this little kitten 💙
Can’t you create a little run for the kitten, he can’t stay couped up poor little thing yet he could be prey for bigger wild meat eating animals. This has made me cry writing this, nature can be so beautiful and yet so CRUEL. Please don’t let anything happen to him 🙏
Ebony in Portuguese
@@margaretlovelock7031please at least watch it all the way through before commenting. It is out and running around before the video is even half way through
That didn’t, so no reason for worries and lecture!
영상잘보고갑니다 응원드립니다
계속좋은 영상 기대할게요!
As always, a very pleasant watch. Well done.
Love the water sprayer, working really well ❤❤❤❤❤
Great work...
How about Luna? ❤ So adorable 🥰
The music is beautiful.
Thank you ♡
Only one kitten? They usually have siblings… keep your eye out … ! lovely video & sweet kitty! ❤
Preta, Black in Portuguese!
Lovely video. Thanks for sharing.
The most calming videos ever made. 😍
Malhadinha! Witch means spotted. It’s a traditionally female cat name in Portugal! Good luck on the farm, I love your new serene presentation.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁 should you not put isolation into the floor, maybe you should build up the wall can save you from fire 🔥.
Take good care.
🍀Love the yellow lúpins👍🫶🇮🇸❤️
Will you be insulating the floor palettes to keep you warm in the winter and cooler in the summer?
Things do go more quickly with Uncle Nick there but you are learning new things every time he visits! Looking forward to seeing this build progress!😍🇨🇦
Another great trip to sunny Portugal. Last day of May in UK overcast raining and cold. Just curious about wasps, they seem to be attracted to the breeze blocks so will you end up with wasps under the house an did you end up with any under the original house. As for kitten's names Larry is cool.
We didn’t notice any under the old cabin.. we had a couple of very small ones on the walls though.
Brownie for the kitten😆
Heh heh!! If I remember correctly I thought you didn't want another cat?? LOL!! So I wonder where this kitty came from then?? LOL!! Seems to be well suited to your farm life!! Heh heh!! When you were sitting there talking with Diego I couldn't help noticing the chook behind you trying to jump the fence!! Had a giggle over that one!! Boy do I know about tooth extractions!! Just had a wisdom removed last week and yeah it's still a bit funny feeling!! LOL!! Btw...have you ever thought about making up a colouring in book with your artwork?? Cause that's what it reminds me of!! Cheers!!
Amour de chats ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the format of your videos, you are getting really good at it ❤ the sounds, the music, the slow life mixed with hard work, I almost feel like I am there with you! I also love how you talk to us and you are both so natural and mellow with it. Just love watching you build your life there - thank you for sharing! No I am off to buy you a Kofi ❤
I am so looking forward to seeing how the build turns out, I really think you guys deserve a shower without having to go outside during winter! Kitten Name: I think her fur looks like a Starry Sky so my suggestion is Céu Estrelado
Looking great! Cosmo,don't think it's Portuguese but she looks like a cosmo
How about Leonie for little kitten? Portuguese girl's name...meaning "Lioness" , and she certainly acts like one!!!
Hello Carissa, would be nice to have the address of the Dentist. We are on the search for a good one. LOVE the little Kitten!
Hey! If you google JR Dental Castelo Branco you should find it. If you struggle send us an email
@@FrankieOffGrid Muito obrigada!
Excellent.
Pausing at 3 seconds! Is Frankie adorned with 3 beads?❤❤❤
Yes, Nick is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and is always willing to share that knowledge. You guys have learned a lot from him and Andrea.
You did say the cat was a “she” didn’t you? For her name how about “Momo” or “Mosa” after the mimosa tree that fell over. Didn’t you find her behind the crumbled wall? Or if a “he” how about “Moe” as in Curly, Larry and Moe. Not Portuguese names but cute!
Anxious to see the new abode take shape and with a choice of hot, warm or cold running shower, correct? Have a great week and get plenty of rest in the heat! Hope Ewan’s mouth is feeling better already! ❤️🙏🏼👋🏻🇨🇦😎🫶🏼
“Zilda” name for kitten …..it sounds nice, it’s Portuguese and it means a tree ….where you found her🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛ Albi, Joau, Limao and Zilda …..has a very nice ring to it ❤❤❤
❤
Leão (leh-ow): Lion for the cats name
Cat name suggestions How about 'Fofura' or foff for short which means cuteness or 'Lindo' which means beautiful or 'Gato' which means cat
Iwan looks like a wee mexican fella with that hat on. 😉😂👍
The hat’s so big it makes me look tiny 😅
😂😂😂
Arrrriiiiiba
😂😂😂
miss Poppy 😻
The kitten must be called baby Clarissa 😉❤️👍🥂
😂
Yes! Baby C
You could call her Joana (female for João). Or Clara, that have a similar meaning of Albi.
Issy. Yes, final answer.😉👍
Can you tell us who composed that lovely music
We love you guys every video is a delight. Hard work pay off. Peace.
Re sweet kitty name: Lucy-Fur? So does the base reflect the size of the cabin? I wonder if you will need wire mesh to cover the platform to keep mice out before putting the floor down. Will you include a bath as well? Nick is a true legend! 🙂👍🇨🇦❤
I think you should call her Nicky
Apparently Amora is a good name for a black cat as the internet tells me it means blackberry in Portuguese. Another alternative is Carlao (with an accent over the second a) as it means charcoal.
Damm autocorrect the second should have been Carvao.
'Doce' for kitten
Antonela, for kitty ❤
The kitten, of course, is adorable. How about MIM - short for Mimmosa. (not sure of the spelling) 😀
No Portuguese names but I think she could be Tizzy my husband named our last cat that as she always got him in a tizzy as she was so naughty we can no longer have cats as we both have copd and cat dander makes us il we love watching your cats and dogs,love Saturday morning with you both
Perdida (lost) or Perdy for short x
Mimi or Mia because of the Mimosa 😇
What about Marmelada? It's a portugese word originally and she looks like breakfast marmalade in colour 😊
Could name the kitten, Portugal...and then Portia for a sort of nickname of sorts?
👍
Morgana for your new kitten ❤
the new kitten looks like tortoiseshell & they are usually females, glad Diogo rescued her
Tortie or Tartie for the kitten name...short for Tortoise in English or Tartaruga in Portugese
Call her Dalia
Friends who own farmers receive many furry friends that have been released into the wild, (Me Being Nice) a kitten just doesn't appear, is it common in your area to release unwanted , (like Diego) in rural areas. ❤
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Carissa, I love your videos, beautiful vibe. What is the name of the music at about 5 mins in, when you are clearing stones? Thanks sx
Nicka ,name for the cat🐈
☺👏🙂
What about "Mancha" , due to the little kitty color, spot, stain in English
After googling a bit among Portuguese female names, I chose "Agueda". "Agueda is a feminine name of Spanish origin. It is derived from the Latin name "Agatha," which means "good-hearted" or "kind."
It is uncommon & I think it has a beautiful sound. You can call her "Aggie" for short.
she is cute!! call her Lacy
Call the kitten luar its portuguese for moonlight
About your kitten. She/he has a spot in her/his nose. What is the spot in Portugese? She/he is also a perky, snappy and spicy little creature brave, bold, daring.
I can't Portugese, but iI think, you can translate my suggestions.
For the kitten how about magic.=)
Tareca, Sardinha, Mimosa, Piruças, Faneca. Alguns nomes para a gata em português 😉
I would like to say the cat should be called 'manchas' (smudge) I hope that translates well. Because of her white nose
Mia name for kitten (means kitty cry in Portuguese 😊)
