I've seen a cat advertised for sale that is apparently 5 weeks pregnant! >:( Rehoming due to not getting on with the other cat. You think they'd at least wait till she's had the kittens. Dunno whether to get involved or not.
-
Is she in your area Gillian?
and can I ask how much?
Maybe get her then try to get her into a rescue?
-
All rescues are full!
-
Im sorry Gill, Gillian asked for advice-I gave my opinion, thats what I would try to do.
Sure Gillian do nothing about it, let her go to someone who would use her as a breeding machine, only adding more pressure to rescues!
-
Yes, she's in my area - well, about half hours drive away, and she's asking £30 for her - dunno why she's not tried getting her into rescue, unless of course she has tried, and like Gill says, they are all full - but it doesnt say as much in the ad. Maybe I'll email her and suggest rescues just in case she hasnt tried them.
-
Well I've emailed her suggesting rescues, just have to wait and see now.

Gillian what area do you live in ?
-
The thing is, although rescues are full, if people are down on a few waiting lists, one will come up soon. I just wondered if there is anywhere the cat could be fostered in the meantime?
Most, if not all, rescues will make pregnant cats top priority.
-
It never hurts to try the rescues. I know the poor places are currently overwhelmed but that doesn't mean they wouldn't want to try and help.
Poor girl, hope she's safe.
-
If you could get hold of her Gillian, I am sure I could find a space for her here - if you need funds to secure her, let me know.
-
That is really lovely of you Lesley :hug:
-
Found the ad and emailed too Gillian. :) If I can convince the lady to let her go free, would you be able to help get the cat to Lesley? ;)

Sorry, couldnt log on yesterday - anyway, I've had an email back saying that the cat has been rehomed with partner's mum (who apparently used to work for CP) - at least he did take the time to email me back and he did thank me for suggesting rescues, thats something I suppose, and at least it sounds as though she's safe - well here's hoping anyway.
Thank you for that offer Lesley, :thanks: I would have gone and got her for sure, but don't know what I'd have done from there, apart from giving her shelter until something else could be done for her. :)
