Title: URGENT - cats needing rescue places, please read - Watford (Sorted)
Post by: JackSpratt on March 13, 2010, 01:34:14 AM

Was sent this today:

Subject: Urgent appeal for cats and kittens!

Urgent help needed! Over 70 cats and kittens need rescue spaces! Due to be put to sleep and places need to be found! Please call Becca on 0798 085 1099 tonight (if possible) to secure places in rescue. Euthanasia starts tomorrow morning.

From what I understand a woman has let her cats breed out of control. She now has over 70 cats and kittens there (and a load of Chihuahua's but they are sorted) and local large rescue has gone in and taken some already. They start to euthanase tomorrow because they feel there are too many to deal with.

They are in Watford.

How awful. :(

Have they tried the CP National Cat Centre at Haywards Heath as I believe they help quite a lot with places for major rescues.

Edd, call or text them, I don't know what they've tried but will endeavour to get an update. I hope at least some (and ideally all) of these cats can be saved.
