I just cabbed her - Sharon has the real work to do. Feeds, trays etc + rehoming. I had the easy bit  :evillaugh:

In the meantime she was worried about the fate of this beautiful silver tabby girl. I am pleased to report "Sadie" is now enjoying a luxury pen complete with her own sofa and a large run - will be spayed tomorrow and made ready to go to a home where she will be loved for the beautiful affectionate cat she is rather than a money-making machine.

 :) :) :) - I bet she's a real stunner. xxxxxx to you for saving hre

She wasn't pedigree, although she is a beautiful tabby  :Luv:

There is always a market for kittens. They just put cards in the co-op & newsagents and annoyingly some vets allow people to put cards up. Its crazy that people will pay £30 -£50 (sometimes more)  for an unneutered cat that hasn't had so much as a check up or de-flea, let alone jabs - when they could go to a rescue and get a healthy one for a modest donation.

A typical card reads

Lovely kittens for sale £50 each. fully toilet trained ( :Crazy: )

Well done guys....do we not get a picture of this lucky girl?  :(

I forgot the camera - I'm sure there will be one to follow. Sharon lives about 6 miles from me so I won't be going over to take a snapshot  :evillaugh:

Well done Mark, the neighbour sounds lovely. Sadie sounds like she deserves to be spoilt rotten.

No words quite fit how I feel about backyard breeders - scum comes quite close though!!

The lady was lovely. She had a CP sticker in her window and cat photos all over the place. She said she would have kept Sadie but it would have upset her 17 year old cat - also she just lost her 19 year old cat who had a stroke  :'(

I asked her if the was the original mad cat lady and she said she was  :evillaugh:

She even said thank you for giving your time to do this  :shy: - it's nice  :)

Sharon had a call from a lady that said her neighbour breeds kittens and when the queens get to about 2 years old, they vanish  :(

Anyway, the current one keeps coming in her garden. She reported the neighbour to "you know who" and they said they will visit in 3 weeks time to investigate  >:(

In the meantime she was worried about the fate of this beautiful silver tabby girl. I am pleased to report "Sadie" is now enjoying a luxury pen complete with her own sofa and a large run - will be spayed tomorrow and made ready to go to a home where she will be loved for the beautiful affectionate cat she is rather than a money-making machine.
