Title: Another phone call, so much for no more
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on July 24, 2008, 14:43:35 PM

Just had a phone call about a mum and 5 kittens on a local council estate  :oh noo:  :oh noo:  I really want to get my numbers down but as always, it's impossible  :tired:  I just hope I get no more calls coming in, I haven't got anywhere to put anything at the moment.  Luckily I've got a kitten pen for this little family but I really need to get some of my older ones sorted for going and I think I will have to get my shed sorted and cleared.  I've got a couple of empty pens in there but also loads of junk so I know what I'll be doing next week  :shocked:

I wish I was nearer Dawn, I'd clean  your shed, my mil is coming next week for 5 weeks so any excuse to make myself scarce!!  Hopefully we can sort something out for the brighton six soon anyway

I picked this little lady up earlier, she's all black and has 5 little black babies  :Luv2:  She looks really young and the babies are only about 2/3 days old but all look to be in good health.  Mum is a little skinny but is nice and friendly  :Luv2:  :Luv2:

What a nightmare it is just now each year we say it can't get any worse but it does. Most days I am receiving calls to bring in at least a dozen cats some days up to 30. So many people are being evicted; also people think they are doing us a favour by offering us kittens that they cannot home. They say I have some kittens for you as if they are offering me a wonderful gift. They are usually amazed when I say we have loads of mums and babes and are not receiving a call for a single kitten.

I think this is the problem at the moment, rehoming is soooo slow  :tired:  I had an email off a guy a couple of days ago wanting a kitten because his daughter just happens to want one, I've not rushed to get in touch as you may have gathered  :sneaky:
