Wanting to get into voluntary work with cat rescue. Not quite sure what I can do though.... for the reason of having kids and a dog plus my two cats. I am finding it hard to get anything because people are put off by the kids mainly (which is understandable). There must be something out there, maybe driving for instance. Anybody knows of anything please do contact me.
Also concerned for my friend's kittens, (long story but bear with me) She had a female cat who she didn't get fixed - the cat went on to have a litter of kittens which I helped home. Then she went on to have another litter, again we managed to home them, I took one and homed two more with my mother in law. Now all her friends have taken a kitten and homed it, very successfully thankfully. Anyway I recently discovered when I visited her last week that the mother has gone (RSPCA), and a kitten my friend kept from the 1st litter has now had kittens as she obviously didn't get her fixed either. She had two babies who are now 3 weeks old. I have no idea what she is going to do with them as everyone we know has one of her kittens. This is one of my best friends but the situation angers me and I have nagged her constantly to take her cats to the vet, without success. I even offered to take the mother myself and keep her and sort her out, This was refused. Now the poor thing is in a rescue centre somewhere. I am dismayed at her lack of responsibility and not sure what to do about it...
