My little foster girl Lois came into care 2 weeks ago. Her owner had died and the relatives had simply locked his 2 cats out when they had finished clearing out his flat, leaving them to fend for themselves. The neighbours didnt even know Lois existed up to then as she was a house cat!
Judith and I had a very interesting hour crawling round in the dark on a Monday night trying to find her. She was sheltering under a disabled access ramp. The neighbours had been feeding the two of them whilst trying to find a charity to take them in. Her friend Larry - prob father of kittens - was offered a home by a neighbour, so he has been castrated, chipped and returned.
Lois is an absolute sweetie, very friendly and affectionate. She was very restless last night (only spare space at the mo is in my bedroom - with the dog overnight!) and at 5.25 am I heard the first little one squeak. She had had 4 by 6.30 am, so I thought by 7.45 it was safe to take the dogs out before it got too hot. I got back by 8.30 and she had had 2 more!
Thank goodness there were kind people out there willing to feed them until they could find a space. Heavens know what future Lois and her babies would have had, being left out to fend for themselves.
Quick photos this am to keep you all going.
