Title: WHY IS IT?
Post by: Ela on May 29, 2007, 12:44:38 PM
That now the kittens are coming along in the dozens as the owners of the mums cannot find homes for their cats kittens that I am receiving very few calls for kittens, yet up to a couple of weeks ago I was receiving between 300 - 400 calls a month for them. Oh well such is life.  ;D

We already have received a e-mail from HQ stating one local branch near here is over run with kittens and can we help. I told them we have enough of our own thanks. in fact we had 5 born yesterday as well.

And are the people that are handing over these kittens getting their cats spayed? I bet you get them told!  :evillaugh:

If we take kittens in we ask they sign to say they will have the adult spayed and any other cats in the household and we also explain the reasons .Of course I offer to pay if necessary.

It's the same here - we have 12 kittens at the mo - and I'm sure more to come - why don't people get their cats neutered!!!!

We are quiet on kittens at the moment, only got 4 in - although the rescue lady has just been on hol, so how long it will stay quiet is a different matter!! But, we are still getting kitten enquiries.

I wish I had had 1 this week and I wouldn't have homed a dying flea. A couple of weeks ago I would have had up to 15 calls a day.
