Lady phoned today with a typical situation. A cat came into her garden a year ago and feeling sorry for it began feeding it. Turned out to be a female cat and she went on to have two kittens, who quickly grew up and had kittens of their own. And now the lady has eight cats in her garden and she's moving soon from Galway to Dublin and her question is: "What's going to happen to the cats?" We get this all the time. Often it's 12, 15, 25 cats. This lady was polite, sometimes people are threatening: "If you don't come now and take them away, I'm going to poison them/starve them/shoot them".
If only people would spay that one cat when she arrives, it would save so much heartache not to mention tons of kittens. This is why we have such a massive number of feral/wild cats in Ireland today, because we are feeding strays but failing to spay/neuter them.
I've asked this lady to send photos of the cats so when she does, I'll upload. In the meantime two of the cats are tame, three are semi-tame and three are wild. Most are black and white. The two tame ones are neutered and I've suggested she get the rest neutered asap.

ReplyDeleteHi Sylwia, what age were you thinking? We've no young kittens here at the moment but if you visit our Youtube channel, there are videos of a few of the many cats here waiting for homes. If interested, let me know. We would have to do a homecheck first.
