Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2007Oh no!
My neighbour (the former owner of Cricket and Gin Gin) has got two NEW kittens! A ginger boy and a calico girl. About 6 weeks old. I feel sad because I know he won't look after them. But what can I do? I wish I could find homes for them. But even so I think he will just keep getting more. Why oh why don't people have their cats desexed? Makes me angry.. Flippy.

I nearly went hydraulic when she told me. Instead of congratulating her like everybody else in the room was doing, I told her she should sit in the lobby of animal control for a couple of hours each morning and watch them wheel the bodies of that mornings' euthanasia victims to the dumpster. They make trip, after trip, every morning across the parking lot to the dumpster with bodies. She is mad at me now and not speaking to me. There is no excuse for her to let that dog have babies. The humane society has a program that she could spay her for ten dollars. I told hera bout it last spring. She said, "Oh, I hate to spay her. She has such cute puppies." Arrrgghh. Purrs to the poor kittens. I hope a good alternative home comes up for them, and that they get fixed. Sherry A man I know couldn't afford, so he said to have his female "fixed" and she now has 16 puppies, they are 3 months old and he just now told me. I asked why he hadn't mentioned it before and his answer was, I knew you would be mad. For ONCE he was right. He HAS a plan, give away what he can as Christmas presents and then, take the rest to the shelter. I will be paying to have his dog neutered as soon as my vet sets the appointment. > On Dec 15, 6:17 pm, "Flippy" > <fli...@TAKEOUTTHELITTERflippyscatpage.com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > Sherry He HAS a plan, give away what he can as > Christmas presents and then, take the rest to the shelter. This is a plan right? What sort of plan? To give what he can away as Christmas presents?Oh so he's going to present all his nearest and dearest with a lovely cute puppy on Xmas Day? Any "leftovers" he's going to take to the shelter where should they live long enough they'll probably be reunited with their littermates?! Even when a puppy or a kitten is being given as a gift with the full consent and happiness of the recipient, it's generally not advisable to give them in the middle of the festive season! And Sherry, tell you SIL to go and watch the bodies of equally cute puppies as her dog has being dumped outside the shelter and also I would advise you to send her to be spayed! Neither of these people are ignorant of spay/neuter programmes which would be about the only excuse I would consider" I don't mind stupid people if their stupidity only affects them but when it affects puppies and kittens...

His neice confirmed that. So I asked around, and it turns out that the woman who lives a few doors down across the road lost her kitten about six months ago. That kitten is now a cat and has two kittens of her own - the same two kittens that I saw in my garden last week. MamaCat is stunning - white & ginger, with beautiful pale blue eyes. Her kittens are about five weeks old now and eating on their own. At the moment the MamaCat and two babies are living under the decking of the house. My own cats are too big to squeeze through the wooden lattice, but MamaCat is thin and she doesn't have a problem. I have been feeding all three of them for about a week now. They are all very scared of people, especially Mama, but she does bring her babies here to eat, thank goodness. MamaCat may have gained a bit of weight, and the babies are doing well. I wish I could get close enough to pick them up and take them to the vet. MamaCat needs to be spayed ASAP. The woman across the road who lost Mamacat six months ago said that she "doesn't want the cat back" because she has a bird now. Jeez. So many people would give their right arm to have their beloved lost kitty back. I will have to find homes for all three of them - I just cannot afford to adopt any more cats. They won't come out to eat when I am outside, but I will try to get pix of them through the window. Anyway, I will keep you updated. Purrs to all, Flippy in Melbourne, Australia.

Too bad her former slave was so clueless. SignatureMarina Many good luck purrs for finding homes for the little family. If all of us had homes and pocketbooks as big as our hearts we would probably keep all the kitties and dogs that came into our lives!!

We are sending lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for you to be able to get near MamaCat so she can be spayed and for all of them to find loving homes, Polonca and Soncek <snip> >The woman across the road who lost Mamacat six months ago said that she >"doesn't want the cat back" because she has a bird now.

Purrs that you can find good forever homes for all three. Sounds like the woman across the road doesn't deserve Mamacat. I guess I'm among the world's worst at re homing strays - I've now got three who either showed up here pregnant or with kittens, and two of the kittens.
