Just found out Evie's kittens (my cat to be) were fathered by the local tom Please, she is not in my care just yet, and will be neutered when she comes to me.
Apparently, the he lives next door and the neighbour sees it as not her problem
Spoken to the gentleman involve (Evie's current, soon to be previous owner) and he said his 5 yr old female is now pregnant. I can see so many dangers with a 5 yr old cat being pregnant.
Obviously, this is the responsibily of both owners to get their cats spayed and neutered, and to try and reduce the number of moggie in recues and on the streets.
this cat is also looking for a home. I am so tempted to offer her a home here and get her out of this cycle, but at the same time, my OH would be most upset at another cat, and even more upset when she has her kittens.
I would be able to look after her (the additional one) but she would have to be neutered and rehomed after kits had gone.
Just feels like these cats are stuck in a cycle or reproducing because of irresponsible owners.
help, what can I do? any rescues near me, who could help re homing the kittens?

I have offered two cats a home, one pregnant one not. :Crazy: not sure what I am letting myself in for, but at least I know they will not be left in a cycle of breeding. Still two cats (m/f)in this situation and f is pregnant. I can't afford to take this one on, Im not sure what I am doing taking the extra one on, but she is 5 yrs old and had lots of previous litters.
