They are not mine but a neighours. I am a facebook friend who is trying to help. The kittens are aprox. 6months old. The owner has tried for a few weeks to get me too take them. I would if i could but i have 15 cats myself. I have tried all the cats protections in my area. The local one said all the other rescues are full. There is cats waiting to go at the pdsa as well. He said if no one can take them its either the vets to be pts or take them too the river bank. I dont know what too doo. They are realy friendly cats and are let out. My main concern is the female who isnt speyed getting pregnant. I gave the owners all the numbers on here and all the other ones that i know. Help
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP?
-
they can come to my house for the short term but can anyone help with travel? i'm in work all week so it's unlikely i will be able to collect them myself. i can get the female speyed too and atleast their jabs started.
-
Thankyou so much :hug:
The original poster on Cat Chat has seen your very kind offer and has registered with Purrs but is awaiting confirmation. She doesn't drive so it looks like a transport run will have to be arranged.

Where are you based Lau ?
-
Hello every one. I am the neighbour who is trying to get homes for these kittens. They are lovely and realy friendly. I wish i could take them even temperary but OH wont let me. I last spoke to the owner last wednesday and said give me a wk to see if i can help. What else can i do. I just cant see these healthy kittens put down or dumped.
-
Kado are you able to take them in for a couple of days to give us more time on this?
If you show your OH the threads he will see that people are trying to help with this and it won't be a long term thing.
-
I will ask OH i very much doubt it though. Sounds awful how long do you think i would have to foster them for.
-
My OH says i can as long its only for a few days.
-
That's great news :wow:
Hopefully Lau will be back on soon and we can take it from there.
Tell your OH he's a star :hug:
-
Excellant News -
I feel awuful that I cant help in any way. :( :(
-
OH is a she not a he. Just been around too the house and they still have them. One of the black ones is a girl and realy friendly as well. There bringing them around tomorrow night at 8pm they realy are dog friendly. They have a realy old staffy and there not frieghtend off her. OH said how long before someones comes i said the wk end. I said i need food and somewhere for them to sleep which they are providing.
-
Would it be worth sending Lau a PM just in case she's missing the updates on this thread? Although she maybe only gets online in the evening.
Still...wouldn't hurt would it?
-
I have got them. OH said i could get them. Will post picture later
-
Thank God they are safe :hug:
-
One black female a black male and a black and white male. Letting them settle in then i will take some photos realy are friendly one is asleep on the settee as well.
-
How do you post pictures
-
Good on you for taking them in and :welcome: to the forum
-
Well done for helping these three and good on your OH for agreeing to help (I know how hard it can be to get them onside)!! I hope a foster home/rescue placement can be found for them asap
-
I don't know how to post photo's here sorry :(
There are pics on CC for anyone who wants to take a peep though...they are lovely :)

Hi Lau,
That's not too bad a distance is it (according to Google Maps anyway).
I'm not a Purrs regular so not sure what members are located close enough to be able to help but (I think) there's a special folder for transport requests here so will try and get a thread started there to pull something together.
You could also start a thread on CC (in Rescue & Rehoming) stating both locations in the title to see if we have any members nearby who would be prepared to help.
I am SO happy these kitties are safe now.
:thanks: to the 2 of you these babes will have the chance of a good life.
-
I have now started a transport request thread in the relevant section.
If anyone can help PLEASE post there.
:thanks:
-
Well done for rescuing them so far, I hope the little girl isn't pregnant, but even to My inexperienced eye she has got a big belly.
They are gorgeous but then I have a soft spot for the black, black and whites.
Lau I hope you can sort out the transport run.
Nicky

When you touch her tummy it feels like there's little bubbles bursting or popping. The owner said they wormed her last friday and i know your not supposed to worm a pregnant cat. They had a good night and realy do sleep well. They are the most affectionate cats i have ever seen. 2 like wet food the other dry. One crys the other 2 come running. They fell asleep last night all together on my settee. They also like playing with toys and love a cuddle. As far as i can see they do not have any flea's, there coats are ok and they are litter trainned as well. They are also fascinated with the dish washer. I am also worried that i havent got any carriers for them when they go.
-
Aww they sound delightful :Luv2:
Kado ~ Would it be worth you getting in contact with your local CP and explaining the situation and asking if they will cover the costs to get these kitties neutered asap. Boys especially recover so quickly it could all be over for them in a couple of days. One less thing for Lau to worry about at her end. Also if the girl kitty is pregnant provided she isn't too far along they can still spey and abort any kittens (very sad to even think about but there are just sooo many cats and too few homes :'( )
How big are they? Would they all fit in one large carrier? It would only be for about 2 1/2 hrs after all.
-
The local branch knows about these kittens. I asked them first. I will phone her later.
-
Just phonned the branch up. I very much doubt they will be able to spey and neuter before they go. I did tell them that the female could be pregnant. Some else will get back to me later.
-
Well done :)
Sometimes it can take a while to pull a transport run together so if there's any chance they can be neutered asap grab it with both hands ;)
-
i'm looking to swap a shift at work so i can collect them my self. will let you know what happens, i may even be able to rope a friend or family member in to help me. my vet is brilliant so spey/castrations can be done here. i'm just trying to sort the house out so i have somewhere safe for them to go away from the prying eyes of my cats!
-
Oh Lau, that is amazing news :wow:
Fingers crossed and THANKYOU!!! xx
-
Lau that would be brilliant. My cats are not bothered at all. The kittens are realy friendly to dogs as well. When you find out when they can come too you please can you pm me then i will give you my telephone number.
-
i will definately let you know hun x
-
Well done everyone and Lau you are a star :hug:
-
Just found out about the mummy of the kittens. When they left the house they where living to where they have moved too they left the mum even though it was around the corner. The next door neighbour has got it and doesnt like cats but can not let it starve but does not want her either. She isnt speyed either.
-
Oh for the love of God :Crazy: What is wrong with these people??? :censored:
She has to be spayed. That's priority. Can you speak to CP about her and get a voucher for spaying.
Ask if she can go on their (and other rescues) waiting list to come in for rehoming when they have space.
Some people should never be allowed animals!
Thankyou for all you have done and are doing Kado. How are the little ones today?
-
The cats protection wont help at all. They phonned me back up tonight and told me to tell you to contact the cats protection national number as they have no vouchers. They also said it is upto who ever takes them in ie the rescue to pay. They dont think its fair if they pay and then who ever gets them gets a donation for them so there losing money. I verymuch doubt if they will put the mum on a waiting list at all either. I also explained how the female cat stomach was that it bubbles when touched and she said it could be worms or didnt know what i was on about.
The kittens are fine. The black and white boy is asleep on my settee. The black boy is cuddled upto the female. I found my garfield who is around 6wks younger fast asleep on one of them. They eat fine. Totaly litter train and they cover it up. I realy feel sorry for the mum. When i picked them up yesterday they said she had gone missing on bonfire night.
-
Kado, PM me your address - I can get a reduced cost voucher sent to you. I've managed it before in the past (I'm not part of the CP, I just always get sent a voucher if I ask), so I've no idea why they aren't offering you help.
-
They are sending me one for mine but not for the kittens. For some reason my voucher is getting sent straight to the vets thats never happened before. A few months back i asked for help with a heavly pregnant stray. I couldnt take it in as a close friend had said someone was going to see if i could be report for having over 11 cats. I got realy upset with this so i thats why i phonned them up. I darent take her in so i got another neighbour too whos husband went beserk and called me all the names under the sun. She had to let her out as her son was allergic i didnt know this but the cats protection came around and of course she wasnt there she then said it was my problem. I did take her in for one night on a tues the same woman came back on the wednesday she had 5 kittens on the friday. It was the same woman that i spoke too tonight. We do have a cat around here that is owned that is a prolific breeder but the owner wont get him neutered as she doesnt want too upset him
-

That is complete BS >:( (them, not you :hug: )
I am a CP volunteer. The vouchers come from head office (the only help branches get from head office normally) so it isn't costing them a penny.
I hate jobsworths >:( - the only thing that matters is that a cat is getting spayed - it doesn't matter which cat :Crazy: - I have heard of another branch where the person in charge of vouchers is holding them back - they are no friends of the cats >:(
I know of a small rescue here in Kent that get all her vouchers from another branch of CP no problem - they are there to be used!
Rant over
Thanks for all you are doing for these cats/kittens :hug: - and Lau :hug:
-
Glad to hear the kits are doing well :)
My God...I can't believe people who are trying to help reduce the numbers of unwanted litters are hitting a brick wall at CP :Crazy: Does it matter if the branch doesn't get a donation because the cats are rehomed via someone else??? Surely the priority is to get as many cats neutered as possible or how else is this country going to get itself out of this mess?
I'm so cross I could spit :censored:
"""I realy feel sorry for the mum. When i picked them up yesterday they said she had gone missing on bonfire night. """
Is she still missing?
:'( :'( :'(
-
There old next door neighbour has her. She is feeding her but doesnt like cats but she cant see her starve. I always thought that what cat protection was for too protect the cats. Mum isnt speyed either. The mum is jet black and realy tiny.
-
I would be tempted to phone head office and tell them what the woman said about vouchers and donations. The vouchers aren't there to bring donations in, they are there to get cats neutered and help with overpopulation. Its a shame that hard-earned funds have to be spent on clearing up the mess from people being irresponsible, but that is the way it is.

How far away from you is this Kado?
Once the kittens have gone to Lau could you (with the help of the voucher from Jackspratt) get Mum spayed and let her recuperate at your house temporarily? Otherwise the poor thing is just going to keep reproducing :(
Granted she may still end up on the streets being fed by the neighbour but at least she won't have any more litters.
This whole situation is just so desperately sad :'(

I 100% agree with this. I'm sorely tempted to ring them myself. Chances are HO are unaware that some individual branches are witholding vouchers. Can't they see the bigger picture??? By neutering now they are saving money in the long term :Crazy:

They have helped me transport 2 of my cats too be speyed at the vets eailer on this year i just couldnt get there. They also brought them back. Can i ask what is the criteria for becoming a foseter with cats protection. I was told if you have too have laminate flooring and no curtains as well is this true. I have had litters off a couple of my cats which i now regret not for me but them. None have been dumped on the street all but 2 are still here. Maisey did have a 2nd litter but went through a hard labour she had 2 and nearly a day later had a still born one. I didnt know at all. Her daughter had a litter shortly after masiey had hers. She had 6 i have 3 of them. One was still born, another died at 3 days. Bug a beautiful ginger one died in my arms at 5wks old. I had taken them to the vets the night before they said they could feel something so said it was worms. I depely regretting not getting the females speyed earlier now too see it happen to something you love is horrible. All but Vera and her kittens are speyed now.The others are all chipped as well. Vera wouldnt stop feeding her kittens and did it till 16wks.
-
what info do you have on mum? is she looking for a home too?
i'm sure i could squeeze her for a while too whilst i get something sorted. neutering-wise i will have to pay £5 per male and £15 per female and the CP pay the rest on my feral cats, i'm sure i will have the money to get these 4 done too (although i do go mad when shopping and over spend :rofl:)
-
(((Lau)))
That would be AMAZING if you could take Mum too. Breaks my heart to think of her out on the streets in this weather :'(
You are an absolute star! and on behalf of all these poor cats I thank you! xxx
-
Just been around to the old owners. They havent got them mum and dont want too keep her anyway. I explained that i might know where she is but they dont get on with the old neighbour. I went to see if the woman who i think too the cat in was in but she isnt back from work yet. I dont even know this woman so its going to be different on explaining who i am and whats going on. The owner have wormed them last friday with bob martins spot on wormer. They also deflead them about 4wks ago so they will need doing again. I am going to try in about an hour to see who has got her.
-
Realy good news about the mum of the kittens. The person who took her in wants to keep her i think. She works full time and is worried about how long she will need to be kept in for. They are taking her to the vets tomorrow or saturday in the view to speying as well. There going to get her vacinations done and are going to insure her as well. I am sure she isnt pregnant as well. There spoiling her rotten they brought her all sorts of toys and i can see they love her. I am so relieved that she is safe now.

-

Hi Kado,
Why is your OH putting pressure on you like this? Lau has offered to take the kittens but from what I've picked up on it sounds like she works long hours so it's going to have to fit around her and she can't just drop everything to come and get them. It sounds like she's been rearranging things to try and get them asap.
You won't be stuck with the kittens. Lau has said she will take them and I'm sure she won't let you (or the kittens) down. Just have to be patient and wait for Lau to come back on, hopefully with some firm plans :)
Don't panic ok :hug:
-
i gather lau works long hours i can understand that its not me its OH. The good news i the girl is a boy.
-
I knew I'd read something about Monday or Tuesday night and just found it on Cat Chat.
"lau messaged me and said she can do it one either monday or tuesday night. Lau hasnt got back to me as yet so i still dont know if this offer is 100%."
If Lau has said she will do it Monday or Tuesday night I'm sure she will hun. Sounds like the kits will be out by Tuesday anyway so I don't understand why your OH is being so difficult here :(
Hang in there. It will all come good :hug:
-
i gather lau works long hours i can understand that its not me its OH. The good news i the girl is a boy.
I know it's not you hun. It will all be fine. Don't worry :hug:
-
i'll be up on tuesday evening around 7pm if that is ok for you?
are all 3 kittens boys then?
my partner and i car share so it's finding a time when the car is free! i will pm you in a minute to confirm details.
-
thanks for the offers of help, it's over a 4 hour round trip for me, but i'm planning to take a holiday at work so i can collect them my self. once again thanks for all the offers, i appreciate it

How's it going with the kittens Lau?
-
This is all excellent news - well done everyone!
Just wanted to say that I would still contact CP head office on 03000 12 12 12 and tell them about the branch - it's an absolute disgrace that they are withholding vouchers. It gives all us volunteers a bad name and they should be ASHAMED!!!!!!! I am so angry!!!!!!!!
