I was wondering if there was anyone who could help with the fostering of 3 semi-feral cats. There is a very sad story behind these cats.
The Colourpoint Cat Club was approached recently to see if we could help with 17 cats on a temporary basis albeit probably quite long term. The gentleman the owns them used to be a member of the club, a breeder and a cat show judge. He went on a family holiday to Spain and while there fell of a second storey balcony landing on his face. Suffice to say he was and remains in a very bad way. He faces reconstructive surgery on his face, was on a life support machine, damage to his sternum, has had to have pins in his wrist and has had a tracheoctomy so is unable to speak. As you can imagine he is unable at present to return to the UK. A neighbour was looking after the cats for the time he was away but had found it difficult and didn't feel she could cope indefinitely. The club has managed to find foster homes 10 of the cats, the neighbour is willing to look after the four that are in the house that leaves the three that live out. The neighbour doesn't feel they are feeding properly and we feel it would be better if they where in some sort of cat pen. If anyone can help in anyway please let me know. This is a dreadful situation we don't want to rehome the cats permenantly until we know how the gentleman will recover. So it is just a foster or holding home that is needed. He lives in South Wales.
Thanks Kay.
