Sounds like the ads I saw last year offering to take any kittens or pregnant cats in a sanctuary. I phoned the RSPCA who were not remotely interested. I suggested they are probably colecting kittens to sell and I was told there is nothing wrong with that as long as no cruelty is involved  >:(

These ads appear down here all the time and then on the same sites you will see the sa,me people offering cats for sale, cats for stud and looking for active queens!!

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Worrying phone call
« Reply #1 on: June 29, 2009, 15:06:53 PM »
Had a call from Nicky a little while ago - a woman from Preston called her asking for "14 kittens for her grandchildren." Blatantly this has set alarm bells ringing and she's asked me to alert people to this lady.

We believe she's calling rescues who request a small donation and  trying to get kittens to sell on for profit.

Please feel free to crosspost this on any animal sites you use.
