I really don't know what is going to happen Gill but looking at the sheer scale of the problem here at the moment I suspect that in 5 years time its going to fee like we have gone backwards 20 years! The situation is waaaay out of control and we are literally struggling to keep up.
Our cat turnaround time isn't too bad just now but we have so many with specific needs they have been with us a while which just clogs up space for any new arrivals but having said that we also know that if we hadn't taken them that they would be in even worse states on the streets by now, or dead.
We are truly pulling our hair out. The only way we can see to try and cope is to expand which is why we have set up a seperate fund to help raise the pennies needed but its going to be a long, hard slog to get there and we still need to make sure we have enough coming in to keep this lot fed and watered.
In the meantime, I really haven't got a clue. We desperately need people to become more responsible for the pets they 'chose' to have as they feel they can just throw them away on stick them on Gumtree adn problems are resolved, but far from it. <sigh>
All I know is we are completely and utterly exhausted and aren't even making a minor dent in the situation at the moment though it isn't being helped by the sheer volume of irresponsible and bad advice being handed out by other organisations of late either.
