7 cats need home - LEEDS area - Urgent!

[Sabrina (Auferstehen)]

From Joanne

"Thanks for your email.  The cats have not been re-homed as yet but have been visited by a lady from the cats protection league who has said she may eventually be able to re-home them.  It is not ideal but at least it is a start."

Anyone know anything more about these cats?

[Ela]

get the feeling Social Services are on top of that one in this case, Ela.

They may be , however, in our cases it is usually people that do have a social worker that we have the problems.

[Pinkbear (Julie)]

A problem we have found with situations like this is that the people who had the cats need a close eye keeping on as they tend to go and get more cats.

I hope the CP branch can sort this quickly, and I hope they know we're here for any support needed, like transport, etc.

[Janeyk]

How awful I hope something is soon sorted

[JackSpratt]

I caved and made a quick call.

A lady from Cat's Protection is going out this afternoon to have a look. So hopefully they'll be sorted.

Hehe! I was going to call today too. Hopefully, they'll be well cared for now.

Hmm, maybe we could call the number? I can't until 12 (no personal calls during working hours etc and my mobile isn't charged).

[JackSpratt]

I emailed the lady directly and got this response:

I will be out of the office starting  16/07/2007 and will not return until
18/07/2007.

I will respond to your message when I return.


Hopefully, the situation isn't as urgent as it was marked. 

[Sabrina (Auferstehen)]

Emailed the lady giving Cat Action Trust 1977 Leeds branch details just in case they were missed.

Hopefully she'll give me an update as well, and we'll see what else I can do.

OMG!!! Hope someone comes in time to rescue/give a home to these babes

Hello all you fine Purrs People!
I'm just nipping in here to pass on an urgent plea that has been copied to us today, regarding 7 cats needing a home in the Leeds area.  We have passed this on to various rescue contacts in West Yorks but if anyone here can help or pass this on - cross-post it or whatever, please do.  It doesn't sound like they may have long before they might be PTS. 
Thank you!
love & Purrs from:
Gemini,

Dear Sirs,
I am trying to re-home 7 cats that have been found in a shed belonging to 3 ladies with Learning Disabilities.  The cats are living in terrible conditions in a small shed with no natural light.  I appreciate most cat shelters are full to bursting but if you could even take 1 of the 7 cats that would be helpful otherwise we have no alternative but to get the cats put to sleep
Many Thanks
