Abandoned kittens... No one wants to know.. Anyone help?

[Leaf]

Hi,

Two kittens appeared on our farm a few days ago, they are a few weeks old a bit tame. They were with mum but she has gone now. We have been feeding them in a cat box so we can catch them for rehoming..... But RSPCA doesn't want to know and says put them down.. The local centres can't help.

We can't keep them any ideas???

Cats Protection? Think they have local branches too.

Ok thanks will try them..

 

[Clodagh]

Cats Protection were good when we had a litter dumped here. Good luck.

They don't cover our postcode sadly

What area are you in?

 

[Leaf]

Hello, south bucks

 

[jodie3]

Oh dear, I thought they were national.

We have quite a few small, local cat rescues round here but obviously the wrong area for you.

Is it Celia Hammond who does cats? Don't they advertise in H&H?

 

[Honey08]

Have a look in your local supermarket, all of ours have donation boxes for local pet rescues, perhaps yours would have? If not google local cat rescues? Ask on Facebook? Hope you can find something for them.

Have you tried the Blue Cross?

I have let my sister know, she is in Chalfont. She is good at finding homes for waifs and strays (usually her home it has to be said!).

 

[AmyMay]

Can't you keep them as farm cats?

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

The CPL Have many many branches in South Bucks pm me to give more exact area. http://www.cats.org.uk/find-us/?loc=4.

I am foster for CPL

Try the local RSPCA not the main headquarters. The main lot are not very helpful but the branches are fab. They are entirely self funded and run as a seperate entity. Pm if you need any help x

No we can't we do a lot of conservation work and they just wouldn't fit in, plus I have a lurcher....

It was the local branch I tried... We have adopted many dogs from them but the cat department wasn't much help..

Our postcode isn't covered... Anyway there has been no sightings of the kittens all day :-/ we fed them last night in the usual place, even got them to feed inside the cat box if we retreated a little But nothing..called them and searched where we originally first found them nothing :-( a fox has been hanging around a lot so he may have got them? Have left their food out and keep going out to see if they are there.

The map clearly shows the whole of the south east covered. Have you phoned one of the branches near you to ask them which branch deals with your area even if not on door step.

why don't u ask the CPL to set a trap for them, tell them about the fox.

I find it hard to believe they wont help you, I AM going to ask my area coordinator if any of south east is not covered. I think I know the answer.

Love your attitude ...... I did a google search yesterday evening when cpl was suggested the page that came up did not cover our post code... We were given many useful leads and advice, we also were contacting friends family that maybe could help.

I did put an update post in club house that we have found a home if they come back? We live on a farm.. We always have foxes.

We are doing what we can and will continue to try and find them...it's 1am I have been out now calling looking for them.... I really resent your implication that we are "lackadaisical" in our efforts you have no idea....

Sorry if it came across that way, just had two kittens dumped outside my gate. I just hate hearing cats and kittens abandoned they are helpless against foxes. I know your doing all you can or you would not have posted here. I just had to open one of my boarding pens for these kittens.

That's gr8 you have found somewhere, the CPL should always lend you a trap any time. Which you could leave in the place you last saw them, To help catch them if needs be. Good luck

 

[MagicMelon]

As others have said - CPL will cover your area, they have branches everywhere, don't think any area is uncovered. My mum used to do a lot of work for them. Definately try them again if the other home doesn't work out.

It is an emotive subject.. I was tired and worried :-/ these people make my blood boil with their irresponsibility...

But on a sort of happy note just when we had given up hope... I was getting the calves in when a small ginger bundle came running up the calves all turned tail and ran back up the field but yayyy I have caught him the cat box we were feeding them in... So he can go to the vet tomorrow then to his new home.

As for the other one we will have to keep searching.

 

[JoannaC]

Why don't you put an ad in your local tack shop, bet there will be someone local looking for a kitten, worth a try anyway. We had litter up at our yard recently and they all found homes very easily.

I will do and will keep their number handy, in case some bar steward decides to do this again... Thanks to everyone for their help fingers crossed we find the other one....

[pines of rome]

Did you find the other poor little kitten?

 

[ClobellsandBaubles]

we've had a litter of kittens rehomed at work got lots of interest not sure where they wer advertised though.... I will have them

 

[Leaf]

Hello, thought I would post an update as many of you were so helpful

Well all did not go to plan... But it has a happy ending! It was decided that the ginger kitten was only around 7-9wks old so couldn't be neutered yet, the new home fell through because of this... Also the black one reappeared but was impossible to catch with out the ginger one?.. :-/

Soooo we took the ginger one back & let it go in the barn with it's sibling & just kept feeding them. Cat protection finally got back to us beginning of Jan(not their fault the lady concerned had personal circumstances) and were looking for a feral home... They are very very feral..cute...but very hissy & spitty.

So a fantastic home has now been found by cat protection, on a lovely farm my vet saw them when he was TB testing, and said they are at last old enough to be neutered... So they are in their cages... Ready to go tomorrow am.. They're absolutely furious they look like bog brushes!

Will be sad to see them go .. & will miss them watching us in the morning feeding the other beasties, but is the best for them & we really can't have cats x

 

[PorkChop]

Well done for putting in the effort, great news that they are safely caught and off to a new home.

 

[Archangel]

Well done and good luck kitties in your new home.

 

[Ebenezer_Scrooge]

A very happy ending, well done for helping them Are they going to new home together?
