We have 3/4 weeks - Gubby is going at 9 weeks, Scrump and Minnie at 10 and Luca at 11. Didn’t want them all to disappear suddenly 😭

@Davros here you go!!

Aww..will be sad for you..and us! At least Tostada is staying with you..and mum.
Is Mum getting fed up with them now or is she still doting on them?

Those may be ‘undisputed facts’ for some rescues. They’re not undisputed facts for the one I’m involved with.

I know this is an old thread but it is an undisputed fact that rescue centres are a bloody nightmare who seem much happier to keep cats locked up than rehome them to somewhere with a road, or a child or a house with a garden that isn’t quite right.

We have a black and white rescue cat but it took a pretty desperate centre to finally give us one. Celia Hammong, Battersea and Cat protection are awful and don’t even pick up the phone most of the time.

Show quote history

And if you volunteered at a rescue you would know that cats that aren’t matched up properly with the right owner often get returned, abandoned or knocked down. And this old thread was about irresponsible pet owners letting their cats reproduce when there’s already lots of homeless cats and adding to an already huge problem. Responsible pet owners and charities know how it works.

Cats Protection don’t need to pick up the phone, all their cats ready for adoption are advertised online and you apply on line and if you meet the criteria you can visit and be matched up with a healthy, neutered cat that suits your circumstances and family and has been assessed so it hopefully has a home for life.

You have no idea. Maybe volunteer for a few months in an admission or rehoming centre?

I've already posted here about considerations when kittens are born from a Cat Rescue perspective but I cant walk away from this thread without adding another post.

Whilst I appreciate these kittens already have homes I would ask the OP the following:

Will the new owners still want them if they cant get the sex they want?
Will the new owners still want them if they are found to have life long issues or an expensive special diet?
Will the new owners want them when they realise they are black and white, the most overlooked and unwanted colour in rescues?
Will you invest in the money and time if any of those kittens need hand rearing?

And my last and most important point:

Will these new owners vaccinate @ £75 for a kitten course, microchip @ £30.00 and neuter @ £100 when they take their kitten home. And if so, why didn't they adopt a kitten from a rescue centre where the full health check has been completed and all of the above has been done for just £100? Or will they just hope for the best and "let the females have just one litter" and let the Toms wander the streets for miles un-neutered adding to the population and risking getting knocked down.

Is their uncle a cat or a human?
They can get into small spaces and high places but often seem unable to get back out

Men? You got that right!

He’s just adorable 🐾😽

Thank you for the new Scrump photo. Gorgeous

A cat! Our original to cats are brother and sister so mum to kits and mum’s brother.

He’s not at all interested in them.

I just want to say this has been my favourite thread in months, and I look forward to every update, but especially the ones with pictures. Thank you.

One of our kittens many moons ago got in the gap between the dishwasher and the cupboard next to it. Had to drag it out by it's head, thought we were going to kill it. He survived. They get into such tight spaces it's like they have a death wish - enjoy😂

Bloody gubby got behind the fridge this morning. They are quite the experience!!!

They are trying to engage their uncle in play but he’s far too grown up to bother with them and just bats them away 🤣
