lubylou12   10 #256 Posted July 18, 2011 I have just received a phonecall from someone who thinks the mother of these kittens is sleeping in their garden. Their son found it tired and hungry and sleeping under a bush, just off Bellhouse Rd. He started taking some food fr it and it has followed him home and taken up residence in the garden. They think the cat is around 1yr old and looks just like one of the kittens. If this is the mother it is likely to be pregnant again very soon (if not already). What do people suggest? I have mentioned the RSPCA and Cat's Protection, but don't think they'll get much joy!! Going to contact the person who rang me again tomorrow as I couldn't talk at the time  what about jackie longley, she did mention she would take the kitts if rabia wasnt keeping them, maybe she would take this one? is the cat indoors now?

Going to contact the person who rang me again tomorrow as I couldn't talk at the time  I think that we need to beware of just picking up any cats that we happen to find in the area having a kip under a bush  If this cat appears to belong to no one, looks to be in bad condition etc then if someone can get it to a vet for scanning first of all? and see what the vet thinks they should be able to tell if she's had kittens recently. If it does turn out to be the Mum then if someone can take care of her we can think about getting her spayed and hopefully re-homed.

rabia.iqbal   10 #258 Posted July 18, 2011 The cat is outdoors and has been outdoors since last week, i cant take it in because of my other cats, we've pushed our luck already with the kittens, but our other cats wont accept another cat. i think the people who are feeding are wanting to keep it but as an outdoor cat.

If anyone wants to come with me later tonight to see it then just pm me and you can come and help me maybe persuade the people into rehoming her Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
