Title: Rescue placements needed for over 20 cats (Sorted)
Post by: kelly-joy on October 07, 2010, 16:37:37 PM: I have been contacted by Chester Cat Rescue who in turn have been contacted by an recently deceased ladies family. Apparently they went to check her house after her death and found over 20 cats there. The woman had been taking in cats from people who didn't want them any more. They are mostly young, all healthy and friendly and most already neutered.
The family are going to have them put to sleep unless we can find places for them, and are giving us a few weeks to sort.

Chester Cat Care have taken the ones they can and are neutering those who haven't been done, but there is just nowhere for them. They have tried north clwyd but really need to get the appeal to as many rescues as possible or anyone who can help- they are all lovely cats and they're are happy to arrange transport anywhere to get them to safety.

please can anyone help. I know we're all full but this sounds desperate. Please email me at Kelly-joy@animallifelineuk.org if you can help

I think if they could even find some extra foster spaces for a few weeks/months that would help enormously although I know foster spaces are as hard to find as new homes.

Hi Jenny, doing really well- mostly thanks to your contacts! There are just two one year olds left- both black and white, one male and one female. The family are now getting pretty grumpy, but sure can find somewhere for these two. Anybreed cat rescue have been brilliant and found a great site for ferals as well as taking a couple. So relieved!
You have a very good network going- hopefully we can help with other appeals you have in future :-) Thank you so much!
:-)
Anna
