Do you know how old she is? She will deffo end up pregnant, which is awful. Maggie from Friends of Ferals may be able to help? I'm not sure of her user name but one of the mods will. I'll ask my hubby if we can help, but with two already and a dog I'm not sure we can afford another one.. Keep us informed and well done for helping the poor kitty  What area are you?

pitnjules   10 #5 Posted April 11, 2016 .Have you contacted pet Samaritans in chesterfield they are pretty amazing. Rain rescue Sheffield cat shelter. RSPCA May help but doubt it. I have two already and feed a feral, one of my girls hates other cats otherwise I would have collected her from you. Cats protection are usually able to help with vouchers to spay cats. Why do people get s pet then abandon them I have no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Great advice eh? Not. Maggie helped me with a spay voucher when I helped with a stray a few years ago. I will still ask hubby though, you never know! What colour is she?

Moonbird   10 #7 Posted April 11, 2016 First thing first definitely contact cat protection and tell them that you have Female stray, at 6 months she will start to breed this year anytime soon, they will either foot the cost of neutering or you will get it vastly reduced, this is very important or you will soon have kittens to add to the problems. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=972361  Keep her into the summer house for a week or 2 after with some good food and then we can start to advertise her and look for a good home, I will help if I can, but first get that done its mega important.  Thank you for being so kind and helping the poor little Girl x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
