These two wonderfully affectionate cats are currently with the cats protection league, and they desperately need a loving home.

They need to be rehomed together as they are a lovely united little family.

They will make someone wonderful pets.

Please let me know if you would be able to give these two a super home.

Ok, I clearly have not got the message across here. They are both pure white and stunning.

The Mum cat is under a year, so a kitten herself really, and she is pure white, beautiful, affectionate and spayed.

The little kitten is also a little girl with the most adorable little grey smudge on the top of her head and the rest of her is all white.


They are lovely.

I`m sorely tempted. I live in the perfect place for cats but the monster I already have here would object.
I hope you find a nice home for them.

Thanks Pattricia, I try to help the cats protection league as much as I can.

We have five of our own gorgeous bundle of catness and when ever we can we take some kittens or cats from the CPL to rehome.

Im keeping a close eye on this thread, I love cats and I used to find lots of kittens in bags along the brook at Parson Cross, just dumped there to die, and I used to drive them to Jackie Longleys place, and let her take them. I wonder if shes still there doing her work.
I hope they get a nice safe home.

Olliekitten, I would love to have the kitty and her baby, but sadly I don't think my two would take to any new arrivals. Both of them are grumpy buggers, especially Jesse.

I really hope you find a lovely home for them.

Thanks JabberWocky,

It is heartbreaking at what some people do to cats. Thanks for your support.

To everyone else if you pass on the message of these beautiful white cats to anyone you know who likes cats then maybe we will be able to find them a home.

Shes still there? Thats brilliant to know! I only wish that someone still patrolls the stream for kittens, I bet people are still dumping them there.

Thats so awful. WHere is this stream?

Jabberwocky
09-07-2006, 21:22
The stream is between Wordsworth Avenue and Holgate Avenue. I used to live in the bungalows on Wordsworth and each year Id find kittens abandoned. For some reason that section of the stream always had them, the rest of the stream was always clear.
Jackie Longley and I saw quite a lot of each other in the late 90s, Im sad to say.

Yep I am interested!

Would not be able to take them until 2nd of August tho, as I'm going away.

I Would provide a lovely loving home.

Let me know the status of the cats.

Can we see a picture of them? Again, I'd LOVE to have taken them - I've got a thing about cats with white fur. However, my two (semi-white and moulting) cats are in rude health and not permitting lodgers. :(

One day, Ollie, I'll be ready for another batch of family... but keep up the good work!

Ahh! Can we have some pictures of these cats pweaaaze!? I had a white cat and her kitten which had the same grey markings on it's head. The grey markings faded and she was then pure white like her mother. She was also deaf which is quite common in white cats (or they can be blind) Be careful in the summer as, as with fair skinned people the cats ears (where the fur is quite thin) are sensitive to the sun and it's a good idea to try and get some sun block on them.

The stream refered to is shown on maps as the Sheffield Lane Dyke it runs behind Deerlands Avenue and Hartley Brook Road. The stream itself is little more than an open sewer infact there is a sewerage overflow outlet in the section behind Deerlands Avenue the stuff that floats downstream after a heavy rainfall is disgusting, and children play in and around it.

There are large numbers of rats making homes in the immediate area of the stream and many of the residents use the area at the rear of their houses as a dump.

This area, known locally as The Brook has a huge potential as an amenity for the residents in the area, if only some one or some council or water authority gave a damm, and a few of the residents could manage to resist the impulse to destroy everything they see.

As for the dumping of Kittens there this happens all the time, and there are a couple of the offspring of one resident that are known to take great pleasure in torturing them to death (a neighbours pet kitten suffered this fate)

The penalties for abandoning, and cruelty to animals are pathetic and desperately need revising.

Fortunately there are people like Olliekitten and Jackie, and many others who care enough to work for the welfare of these and other animals.

It is a real shame is that there are still others who consider them no more than waste or playthings to torture and kill. I assume they derive some kind of deviant pleasure pleasure from this cruelty, I fear for the future when these people grow up. Is it likely that they might treat vulnerable humans in the same way?

Very likely. Many violent offenders begin by harming animals, just as sexual offenders begin with milder offences such as 'flashing', and arsonists begin with bin fires. Sentences do desperately need increasing (not just because of the risk to humans but because harming animals is inexcusable), and serious psychological help is a must. There is a major difference between the neglect of animals and the deliberate cause of harm, and the law doesn't seem to make much of a distinction.

Cruelty to animals is one of the marks of a psychopath (one of the key things that differentiates them from other types of personality disorder). :nod:

Absolutely spot on!
However, the Brook is now a nature trail and supposedly a part of the Pennine way. They intended piping it all and burying it in the 50s but for some reason the plan was abandoned.
In 1961, my dad found a struggling sack and opened it, to find 5 dead puppies, one was still alive though and he kept it.
I was about 6 months old at the time and that dog and I grew up together.
the dead pups were buried in the garden along with the bodies of god knows how many other little animals that were found in the stream over the years.
I used to actually lay awake at nights and listen for the meows of kittens because the scum who dumped them would often be too lazy to walk far onto the fields, so they would just lob them into the brook from Wordsworth Avenue.
I lived in the bungalows at the time so I always heared the kittens.
Heartbreaking.

That is so so horrid, that is completely heart breaking. It terrifies me how awful some people can be.


Children need to be brought up with an understanding that animals have feelings and can suffer.

Its does break my heart when I think of it.


Please if anyone finds or knows of any kittens or cats that are in danger please call the CPL or pm me.

She is still there :D and her cattery is a fantastic place, it's carpeted it has sofa's cuddly toys the cats there live in luxary, i have never seen anywhere so nice (not meaning to detract from CPL i'm sure they are great too, just that i've never been there but i have seen Jackies many times) .
I only wish that someone still patrolls the stream for kittens, I bet people are still dumping them there.

I bet people don't dump the kittens now not when they work out they can sell for £30 each :suspect: :rant:

14-07-2006, 22:12
I remember going into the cattery. It was better than some peoples front rooms.
Im glad the prices have gone up so much if it stops them killing kittens.

Its odd but where I am in North Leicestershire cats are hard to come by, I had to collect my monster from Leicester which is almost 15 miles away.
Before he came along I looked for a cat for almost three years and there was nothing. A pet shop in Coalville had 4 kittens last year and there was a queue of people outside the shop and they were almost fighting to get one even though they were being sold at 60 quid each.

Thing is it might do but unfortunately the price does not seem to make people take care of them any better, and encourages people to breed more kittens :( rescues are over run with cats who's only crime was to grow up.
A cute fluffy kitten is just the cutest thing on earth, if only people took care of them when they grew up :rant:

Its a pity there isnt a way to transport them down here. I bet people would snap them up and ...
I was going to say "care for them", but when we got my horror from Leicester he was severely underweight and for a few days he was very close to death. We had to practically force feed him and even teach him to play, he was tiny, the runt of the litter and the people who gave him to us swore that he was six weeks old, yet he fit into the palm of my hand.
I wasnt prepared to argue, he was covered in fleas so all that interested me was getting him away from them and somewhere safe.
Hes now a huge, glowering monster who sinks his teeth into me for the pure hell of it and I wouldnt have the little swine any other way!

As far as Im aware, there are no rescue centers here for cats. There simply arent enough cats, theyre like gold dust, and I remember oggling other people pets as they wandered down the garden and on more than one occasion I considered following the cat home so I could ask its owner where they got him from.
The idea of a 17 stone man prowling the gardens of Coalville in the dead of night following a cat over fence and under hedge would have had the police in extacy.
Ill check around, Im curious now too.

There's quite a good possibility that the reason he hadn't grown like he should was greatly down to his flea loading. Fleas kill small kittens- it's heart-breaking when we lose newly admitted kittens at the Shelter in this way, but it's a simple and deadly equation.

Fleas drink blood- kittens don't have very much blood in them. In an adult cat fleas are an irritation, but to a kitten who maybe only has 50mls of blood to start off with, losing 20mls (only half a dozen fleas will drink that in a feeding session) is losing 40% of blood volume and 40% of red blood cells, leading to a dehydrated and anaemic kitten who is too weak to feed properly and just fades away.

It's really sad though, because you can control the fleas really easily until the kittens are old enough to be exposed to flea treatments just by combing the fleas out and washing bedding to remove eggs- and by controlling fleas you'll be doing the best you can to control the level of worms that the kitten has too (virtually all kittens have worms, but they have to be a few weeks old before you can get them treated too).

How many do you want ?
Will even deliver :hihi:

Pretty upset at the minute, we lost a black & white kitten yesterday.
Its mother just rejected it for some reason.
We tried hand feeding and it seemed to be doing ok but yesterday morning we found it dead, the mother just sat looking at it.

Sorry to hear about that- that must be so distressing.

Try thinking about all of the good that you're trying to do instead. If you didn't try there would be guaranteed failure- this way round you may not succeed all of the time, but it's much better than if you didn't try.
