There is a Purrs member whose sister bought a very sickly kitten off "one of those sites" and (s)he didn't survive. I'll look through my messages because they sent me a message about it.

I received this from Animal Aid today, I don't know if anyone has any information that would be useful to them but thought I'd post it incase

Animal Aid
‎Get Gumtree Animal Free say:
Hi all, we have been approached by the BBC with regards to a feature on The One Show requesting information and case studies with regards to the unscrupulous sale of dogs online. In particular they would like to hear from anyone who may have had a bad experience as a result of buying a dog/puppy online. Have you purchased a sick dog/puppy or have you taken on a dog/puppy described as a particular breed only to discover the dog is actually another breed? Any negative experiences would be worth passing on.
Could you email us at getgumtreeanimalfree@yahoo.co.uk
They are filming later this week or Monday next week. Please share.
Thanks.

"Three year old's lost interest." Hmmm, really? Gosh, it's a good job said three year old took them on and makes the decisions regarding what happens to them then, isn't it? Wait, they didn't...? >:( People are so idiotic.

Just stop looking you are setting a bad example  :innocent:

sorry can't - i really have cut it down honest!

Still think it helps with trends - I've never seen such a glut of kittens as there are this winter :scared:

Also, I keep an eye out for any of ours - especially after seeing Ziggy FTGH in Birmingham!

can't help looking.

yesterday on giving away unpayed female just over a year old. They thought she was pregant and said she'd had no problems with her last 2 litters.  :'(

today
"i have 2 kittens that need rehoming as my 3 yr old has lost interest. both 11mth old approx. can get them neutered. need to go asap."  :'( :'(

I'm sure these idiots are only there to wind me up  >:(
