Cat Chat Feline Forum

There were 2 sisters owned by a neighbour. He didn't look after them very well and they were always scrounging food from me. He has now moved and only taken one of them with him. I am unable to rehome her myself as one of mine has a history of fighting with her - I have also recently taken on a stray as well as my own 2 senior cats (One with lots of health problems)

Cats protection say they can't help as it is an abandoned cat, rather than a stray (it doesn't tick one of their boxes!) The RSPCA have referred me to their head office, who they say will 'take it away' - I have heard about the RSPCA putting healthy cats to sleep, so want to avoid that. At the moment I am keeping her in my attic bedroom overnight and letting her out during the day. She is an affectionate cat.

Lovely cat, hope you manage to find it a home.

Do you know why they don't take abandoned cats? Is it because if they started taking them in people might start abandoning them too easily? Or because someone might change their mind and it would cause too many problems?

I wish they could have just pretended it was a stray and taken it in.

What a beautiful little tortie girl! What's her name and how old is she? How sad that they left her behind - as if you'd do that to a child! Hopefully she can be found at least a foster place soon. x
