Saw 2 wee lovelies in Urmston Pet Centre today.
Brother and sister apparently, VERY timid, listless, one has a mucky eye. I managed to get one out for a cuddle for a bit, nice girl on the till made sympathetic noises and has taken my number if she can persuade the manager not to sell them. She said they were 8 weeks - not too sure about that, they were v small and still had their 'baby' tails.
What do I do now?
-
Ummmm not sure cept rescue them :sneaky:
So sad though to see em that way.
-
RSPCA is one route .... or as Gill says, rescue them. Of course if you rescue these they will only go and get more in.
Personally I would call the RSPCA immediately and report it as a cruelty case.
-
If they look poorly then the RSPCA would be the best one's to contact. If you don't get any joy, let me know as I may know someone that can help.
-
Will they PTS though? :(

I have cross-posted this on CatChat too - I hope good will come of it

I won't buy them. As you said, they'll only get more. Self-perpetuating cycle.
Thanks, Christine, although I don't think it's really an 'omg emergency need home' situation, at least not as I saw it - more a general problem about pet shops and kittens and these particular individuals.

Hi Phone your local trading standards and tell them as I don't think you are allowed to sell kittens in a pet shop anyway and also they can go down and see if they are kept right if not they can close the pet shop down.
-
Sadly you are allowed to sell kittens Kelly, you just have to have a special licence.
-
Really I didn't know that. I would still phone them as they can go see if the kittens and other animals are kept right or not.
