Oh so quiet. by blightygal

Oh so quiet.

Dropped off a cat tree and collected some worming meds for an abandoned cat living on the streets (tracked owner and she didn't want the cat), but while I was at my friends house who works for Cat's Protection, I was allowed a cuddle of the 4 kittens and mum she currently has in her care now.

Chocolate box cute, shame was leaning on one of his ears tho!

This year has been the worst in rescues. So many people with cats and not neutering them - and leaving rescues to pick up the pieces. I am personally helping 2 long term strays, been on the streets for over a year, and still waiting for a space. 500+ cat waiting list at the mo, because of kittens.

If you know anyone with an entire cat, do the world, and the cat, a favour and get them to neuter!
You are doing such good work. I feel guilty as we should give a cat a home but I'm too neurotic to cope with the idea, I'd be anxious all the time about it 🙁 cute thing.

@boxplayer I hear you. We often thought about getting Lucy a friend as she seems to be better with other cats than anything else but it's double the worry. You do get used to it though and most of the time the enjoyment of having them overtakes the fret!

@boxplayer Don't suppose can interest you in 2 beautiful kittens?! :-) One ginger boy and a brindle girl? The viewers dropped out coz only wanted the boy as people only ever want ginger cats. Cheeky to ask, but worth a try!! :-) x

@blightygal aah no, the poor babies! I really don't think I'd cope emotionally though 🙄

What a heart-of-Gold you have!!! I'm always staggered that people take an animal without thinking of the needs through the years! We'll have a 6-wk tab to pay to get our cat back from boarding at the vet's while we've been away, but you just don't walk out on a family member!

@Weezilou Well said, no, never walk out on a pet. And yes, a lot of folk don't think long term. The amount of dog ownership during lockdown is a prime example... now nobody is home to look after the dog and rescues are full. Grrr.
