Cats needing neutering from today...


.... you may have seen the thread yesterday about the events planned for today........ I've been out today in Dudley town centre, promoting good pet owenership.
One couple asked me if they could get their cat neutered for free I asked some questions, then they said they could do with getting the 2 older cats done as they have both had 5 litters each, I then asked how many cats they had alltogether, to which they replied.... 9 inside, plus the ones from the last 2 litters, making 15, plus the 2 outside ones, both female, both have had litters, but they don't know where the kittens went or where they are now.

I said to them I would do a deal! We would pay full cost for all the cats to be done, on the condition that they get them all neutered including the 2 outdoor ones and we would lend them traps to catch the 2 outdoor ones, who are not very tame.

They agreed & I sorted out the paperwork to get 17 cats neutered.

I bet the neighbours hold out a big "Thank You Banner" for you Smudgley......well at least they came forward and asked for help.

Good on them. But I bet the numbers of unwanted homeless cats go down in that area next year.

Re: Cats needing neutering from today...


It's terrifying isn't it? That is SO common throughout the country you would think people had their heads in the sand or something (maybe they have)!!

Well done you on trying to get these folks to understand that problem they have helped to create and to get them to start putting it right. Hopefully they will trap the outdoor cats and all will be well

Re: Cats needing neutering from today...


You know what though, they were actually really nice people. They had a couple of cats, that had kittens & the rest is history. They have promised to get them all done & they've got my phone number to call me when they need a trap. They seemed to love their cats very much & I asked if we could maybe help to rehome some of the kittens, but they said no, they had made a consious decision to keep them as they couldn't find homes for them when they were younger.
I said the 2 girls who've had 5 litters, should be done first & that it wasn't good on their health to just let them keep reproducing like that. They seemed to take on board what I'd told them.... and trotted off with their 17 free operations in their hand.
