I had a call from a young guy who was out for a walk and heard some noises. It turned out to be 3 4-week ish old kittens in a closed quality street tin in a bush. He and his friends have taken them on and they were phoning for advice. I just hope he manages to do a half decent job with them -  i did offer to help.....

The scary thing is these people will do that or even worse  >:(

People are just horrible and yes I feel bad but I can't save them all and with the emotional crap, I really don't need it, I have enough problems of my own I need to sort  :tired:  I've still got a houseful as I've still got to get the stable cats sorted, I've got 2 caged for going up there and 3 have already gone, I've got another 5 to sort but don't want to leave them in cages too long whilst waiting to fit it in with Margaret as they get too stressed, and the Brighton 7 will now be going over the end of this week  :shy:

why is it they always resort to emotional blackmail when they don't get things their way!!! 

Because they are a***holes  :sneaky:  I just responded by saying that a vet won't put a healthy animal to sleep but yes I do worry about what he will do with them  :'(  I've also told him to email me details and I'll ask around for him, god I hate this time of year  :tired:  I had a guy on the  phone last night about a stray that's been trying to get in his house, she's been crying etc and he wouldn't feed her for fear of encouraging her.  I've asked him to put food out and I'll try and get her in somewhere, I'm a little worried as he said she is predominantly white but her ears look burnt, I'll have to go and check her to see if she needs the vets and I did feel bad about her last night as it was p***ing it down  :(  Also got a feral to sort that has given birth in a plant pot in someones garden  :tired:  Apparently there are loads of others round there that need spaying/neutering so I'll do what I can and then I'm changing my number  ;)  Not really but at this rate I'm never going to get sorted  :tired:

Had 3 calls in two days about stray cats, god knows how many from people who want to get rid and just had one from a guy whose mother has approximately 5, she's elderly and ill and the cats aren't being let out etc etc, I gave him some numbers for other rescues that may be able to help explaining that I am still chocca which I am, his response was if he can't get anywhere, they will have to go to the vets for the needle  :censored:
