Title: Desperate - Coventry - mum and 4 newborns in back garden
Post by: Angiew on May 12, 2008, 20:47:29 PM: Anyone know anyone in or near Coventry who can take these in for 2 - 3 weeks until my fosters go to their new homes?
Can provide kitten pen. If you can help please phone number on covcat website.
I don't like the thought of thm being there overnight.

Post by: Angiew on May 12, 2008, 21:47:20 PM: Panic over - sort of.
It was coventry CP who mentioned them to me and I've been fretting since. Just phoned up about them and the lady who reported it has a phobia about cats and says she's been told there are probably about 2 - 3 weeks old. On advice she has put food down for them today but none of it has gone.
So not much else anyone can do now.

I've already picked up a mum to be and a mum with 3 kittens today so I've been phoning round - I'd decided they would come in with me and have to share living accomodation with the mum and her two remaining kittens - first ones went Saturday :(

Post by: Angiew on May 12, 2008, 23:31:12 PM: Yes I'm relieved but in reality its not going to be too long before I really have to stop even trying to help in situations like these, Its going to be a long summer!

Post by: LesleyW on May 13, 2008, 08:13:37 AM: I'm glad the panic is over, but if you need my help in the future with little ones, let me know - it always seem to start later down here. :hug:

Post by: Angiew on May 13, 2008, 09:34:24 AM: Lets just hope mumcat has found a safe place for them. I'm going out this afternoon and stopping overnight so if this lady sees them lets hope its soon!

Post by: Angiew on May 13, 2008, 12:26:23 PM: blimee! 4 one week olds and mum cat coming in tomorrow from Bedworth!
I think the original cry for help is still valid.

Anyone in and around Coventry who fancies a bit of kitten sitting please get in touch!

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on May 14, 2008, 08:24:36 AM: We havent got any kittens in at the moment either Hels, we had one pregnant mum in Jan and that has been it so far - the other rescue I fundraise for havent' had any either this year, so hopefully it is a sign of a good year - doens't stop people wanting kittens though!!
