Title: Anyone got any room for some feral kittens?
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on September 02, 2009, 21:00:05 PM
As per usual my number is constantly being given out and I've had phone call after phone call about adult cats/kittens....has anyone got any room for any or know of anyone who has?  I really want to pack doing rescue in but everyone else is making it impossible for me  :tired:  I hate turning people away but I'm going to have to start putting my foot down as I want out and to get my life sorted  :tired:  If anyone can help, even if it's just one or two, can they post on this thread or send me a message....I really can't afford to keep doing this any longer and it is causing me mega problems  :tired:

Who keeps handing out your number? I'd notify anyone who previously did you're taking a break if you haven't already. Poor you. :hug: Sorry, I can't really help with feral kittens.

The so called rescues that don't deal with ferals apparently and no as yet, I've not managed to get a break from it but am slowly but surely getting my numbers down and this is how I intend it to stay  :shify:

Gill, it's easier said than done...I always feel guilty if I refuse to help  :doh:  Had a run in with someone the other day, apparently a vets had given her my number, she wanted me to pick a dead cat up and take it to the vets to be disposed of  :shocked:  I get charged for doing this and I'm sorry but I haven't got a bottomless pit and she had the cheek to say everything boiled down to money....funny she didn't offer to pay for the cat herself  :censored:

The main problem I have is the rescues giving it out...it will all change soon once I get homes for my last few and then my number will be changed and that will be it then until I decide if/when I start up again.

can you set up an answer phone message to say you are no longer in rescue?

that will at least deter a few callers, hopefully

Methinks a new phone number is on the cards..... a pain to let friends and family know but its probably the only way. Then if you do decide to start up a cheap mobile.....

Hopefully in a few weeks I will get sorted and I won't have the hassle of it then  :innocent:

we at the feline network take feral kittens but i'm not sure if any of our fosterers have space, we're a bit full ourselves,  plus we are way down in devon, where are you?
