It's a shame cat rescue is not all sunshine, roses, cat purrs and cuddles.
The outbreak of spring kittens will soon be upon us and the waiting list for a rescue space will be 6 months or more for someone who has a genuine reason for wanting to rehome their cat.
All we want to do is help and slow down the over run population of helpless kittens that get born in gardens, under a hedge, under a shed or in a scrap car boot or under a pallet in a pile of wood.
We see it, it happens, kittens die, kittens born with FIV and birth defects struggling to survive.
The sound of female cats yowling at night times drawing the attention of all the local Tom cats that fight over their mate. The spreading of diseases that kill cats slowly, the injuries they get and the bad reputation that all cats get when seen spraying and stinking to mark out their territory.
If everyone took responsibility for their cats then cat rescues could free up some spaces, cat rescuers could take a break.
Unfortunately though, cat rescues are flat out busy, rescue people are on the brink of mental breakdown and yet stray cats are lurking around every corner of every suburb of every town and city.
Un neutered cats make unwanted kittens. Fact !
Halve the problem
Neuter
