It's getting busy


We were only saying a few days ago how quiet it was.

We have taken in a pregnant cat this week.

We have dealt with a found 10 day old kitten. (It's been fostered onto another mother cat)

We have had a call about 15 adults plus lots of kittens / pregnant cats, all in the same house, none neutered.

Plus lots of other calls this week for adult cats needing homes, most of which have been left behind when the owners have moved out.

Re: It's getting busy


How can anyone leave their pet behind - whether they've gone on holiday or moved away?????

Some people, not all, but some, make me want to be something other than human and howl in anguish.

Poor little loves.

I wonder if Kizzy would like a little friend?

She said she would.

I have 2 cats in, that were left behind when some people moved & the neighbour has been feeding them, she said she didn't even know they were moving out, they just went and left the 2 cats. One is a beautiful B&W long haired neutered female. The other is her 8 mth old pregnant daughter, who is very timid.

We have been really quiet too, we just have a feral litter in and 2 pregnant cats. Plus a few adults. I will call tomorrow to find out more about the 15-cats-plus-kittens-house but it sounds like a nightmare senario.

I cannot understand people who would just abandon their cat....heartbreaking! Poor things.

Kizzy sounds like such a sweet natured cat, maybe she might like a companion, Angie .....

I'd quite like a little B&W boy or a ginger-nut, but either would have to be short haired.

I always intended to get 2 as company for each other and it helps to keep them both fit if they get on well and play together.

No ginger-nuts or B&W males, in fact no males in our branch at all. I'll find out what is amongst the 15 cats.
