Colony reported to RSPCA
We've been approached by the RSPCA following their visit to a large colony of cats after reports from concerned members of the public. These cats have been breeding indiscriminately for years and as you can see, some of them aren't coping so well.
Thankfully the owners are now cooperating to allow us in to trap these cats, neuter them and assess their health needs (the ginger and white with the bad eye and the black kitten with the soaking wet bottom from diarrhoea are now at the vets receiving treatment).
Sandbach Animal Rescue Society are also involved with this case and are very generously helping with the costs, which we expect to be pretty substantial. We would be very grateful to anyone who has a pound or two to donate towards this latest project (it goes without saying that this runs alongside all the other cats we currently have!)
We also need lots of shares of this post (from this page, not groups) to help us find homes for these cats and kittens; unlike normal trap, neuter, return projects we don't really want to be putting them back in the same place, as the feeding and monitoring needed just isn't there..... it's likely that a lot of the adults will need outdoor homes, i.e. farms, stables, smallholdings etc as they will never have lived indoors.....but until we catch them we just never know what beautiful temperaments may be waiting to shine through with some TLC! Kittens will be easier to socialise, the earlier we get them, the better.
So, there's a lot to be done and ideally, we'd like to get a lot of these cats sorted and settled before winter sets in. If you can help in any way- donations towards vet bills, food, sharing the post, we would be so very grateful! We hate to start the week with a begging post but animal rescue is 24/7, 365 days a year and we know what what a great community we're part of. On behalf of us and Sandbach Animal Rescue Society, many thanks in advance.
