Many years ago, in London, there was a vet who had real passion for cats in general, but ferals in partcular. The more they hissed and spat at her, the more she seemed to like them. She just lurved neutering them!  :yesss: :oolala: The first sniff of a feral colony and she'd be out there with the volunteers doing the trapping! "Mad Nora" we called her... Some of the male volunteers never turned their back on her!  :rofl: :rofl:

The kittens have come from Wrexham and the annoying thing is, our local RSPCA are always doing neutering campaigns and targeting that area in particular but some peeps generally can't be  :censored: .  As those in rescue will know, the only way of doing it is to pick the mum's up yourself, take them in and then return them back to their owners.

Another sad thing about all this is that the mum cats is quite possible pregnant again. If  only the owners would have contacted a rescue,  although they may not have been able to take in the kittens immediately they could have perhaps tried to help find homes and offer to get mum spayed. Is it possible your local paper could print a pic and give general neutering/spaying advice and advise where vouchers can be obtained?

Tiggy and her brother were found dumped on a skip (aged approx 2 weeks old).  I will always be thankful, in a twisted kind of way, to the evil person that dumped them for 19 and 11 years of happiness... 

Glad these little ones have found their way to you Dawn, they have every chance now  :hug:

 :hug:  Pinkbear.  Society doesn't surprise me in the least these days  :censored:  :censored:  When Lainey was over, we had to go to an RSPCA presentation thingy, one of the inspectors had come over from London and the dog that she had adopted had been tied with a rope round it's neck and was being dangled over a balcony by it's so called owners......she actually caught them doing it and took the dog  :censored:  :censored:  I think for people to do what they do, and have no shame or remorse for doing it, seriously have a screw loose and if they don't get what they deserve in this life, they get it when they go to hell  :censored:  :censored:  I find I have less and less patience with people these days but hard as it is, you have to learn to bite your tongue until the animal is out of danger and then you can let rip if need be  :evillaugh:  Sometimes I hate what I do as you can feel so downhearted by everything, but believe it or not, there are some happy and nice times with them especially when you've gained their trust and they come to you for cuddles and kisses  :Luv:  :Luv:

I'm afraid I've got to the stage where I try not to focus on details too much. I know that might be classed as cowardly, but every time I think it can't get any worse, it does...  :'( The final straw came for me when I asked Battersea how my (now sadly a bridge baby) Twinkle lost her tail when I adopted her from them. They told me that she was rescued by a passer by after some 'children' had cellotaped a firework to her tail and let it off....  :rage: After the anger of hearing that subsided, I figured that I can never get even with these monsters because society wouldn't let me do the same to them.  >:(

All we can hope to do is what Dawn, Ela, Teresa and all the other real heroes do, or if we can't do it ourselves, support them in their work.  ;)

I must confess when she contacted me today, I was convinced they were her kittens  :-[  You get so many people ringing up saying they've found some kittens etc etc and you know damn well they are theirs, but you just have to smile sweetly and then curse when they are out of earshot  :evillaugh:  It was only after meeting her and seeing the state of her hands that I realised she had been telling the truth.

It seems there are a lot of "ordinary people" who are callous enough to do this kind of thing - although its nothing new as our carpenter said it was a regular occurance to find tied up sacks with kittens or puppies in on the beach when he was young  :'( - There are some evil people around. I'm not religious but I hope hell exists for those guilty of hurting and killing gorgeous innocent animals.

Not really keen on doing transport runs with kittens unless it's an emergency tbh, it can be far too stressful for them and me as well  :tired: The last few days, I've had 4 ferals, and 2 kittens go out.......and hopefully Nikita and 2 more kittens in a few days.  If desperate, I can sort the stable one's out.  The one's I've got in today are caged at the moment so not too much of a nightmare, it's when they're loose, it's bedlam  :Crazy:  :evillaugh:

I think these little one's have been someone's pets, they have eaten and seem a lot more settled although still unsure.  They are all scrummy so should be homeable fairly quickly  :Luv:

Maybe a few of us should get together and make a trip to yours to help with all the kitties. Give you a break on litter boxes etc.

Just had another 4 kittens in, they were found in box which was taped with duct tape in a skip  :censored:  :censored:  When the lady rang, she said they were feral and thought they came from one of the local farms, she was ripped to shreds by them when she put them into a carrier.   I think they are just very frightened little babies  :'(  They look to be about 8 weeks old, in good health but very frightened but it's no wonder with what they've just been through  :censored:  :censored:  I'll post some piccies later  :Luv:  :Luv:
