Hi all, I have just joined after a friend told me about the forum.....I have 2 Siamese and 2 Exotic cats, as well as a gorgeous white and ginger moggy that adopted me.....I have had cats for nearly 30 years....but always pedigree cats...
I foster kittens for my local Cats Protection....Having just rehomed the last litter.....They were little darlings, and have now gone to a gold plated home, which makes fostering so worth while.....These kittens were dumped ina garden in the coldest weather, one had flu, the otherr had to be syringe fed for a couple of weeks as he would not eat, the biggest 2 were just terrified....all are now healthy and in new homes..
I did not realise the extent of the problem with casts until I joined cast forums, and started working with the CP. One thing I am more that sure of now is, I will never own another pedigree....
Look forward to chatting .....TC...

Hi and welcome - I think most of us (except for the few hard core rescue people here!!) didn't have a clue how bad things were - look forward to hearing about all your cats though, and people will want photos trust me!

Welcome to the forum :welcome:
never say never re the pedigree we have our ragdoll Minmin as a rescue from CP along with the other 42 Clan cats and their pets our 3 dogs!

welcome to the forum - it's warm and very cuddly here
I know what you mean about pedigrees - I have a pedigree Russian I paid a lot for years ago, and would hate to buy another - although if I don't I probably won't be able to own another
and pedigree cats in rescues are, I would think, vulnerable to falling into the wrong hands, for the wrong reasons, so need our help too

I know there are a good few pedigrtee's in rescue, before Christmas I fostered a blind Siamese, he was blind because someone had either hit him on the head, or kicked him...He had a lot of issues, I rehomed with a friend and made her aware of his problems, I had him 2 months, she had him 6 months, he had to be put to slep earlier this month due to a braiin tumour....The one good thing is he had 8 months of love and care....Although does not make it any eassier...I sometimes hate people for the way they treat animals!!! :scared:
